A new Priest card is causing an outcry in the Hearthstone community. The Duskbreaker is so powerful that it is already considered the “most powerful card ever.”
In a few weeks, the new Hearthstone expansion Kobolds and Catacombs will be released. The developers are gradually revealing all new cards that will be available to play or buy after the release.
One card stands out from the crowd and causes an outcry in the community. We are talking about the Duskbreaker.
The Duskbreaker is a 3/3 Dragon for Priest that costs 4 mana and has the following Battlecry: If you have a Dragon in hand, deal 3 damage to all other minions.
The Duskbreaker is capable of choking off almost all current Aggro decks in their infancy. But not only does it eliminate the opponent, it also shifts the tempo of the match in the opposite direction. Strictly speaking, the Duskbreaker is a small “Boardclear” for only 1 mana (the cost of the effect) with a 3/3 body for 3 mana.
Too much effect for too little cost
Players compare the card to other effects, such as the Warlock spell, Hellfire. Hellfire also costs 4 mana and deals 3 damage to all characters.
Sure, the Duskbreaker has the additional requirement that you must have a Dragon in hand – but that will likely always be the case with Priest Dragon decks, as that is the only way the card makes sense.
Many professionals already agree that the Duskbreaker is the strongest card (considering cost/benefit) that Blizzard has ever released for Hearthstone. Many expect it to be nerfed later and its cost to even increase to 5 or 6 mana.
What do you think of the Duskbreaker? Is it too powerful? Or is this a clever move to ensure that Aggro decks lose strength and dominance in the next expansion?
