Once again, 5 new HearthStone cards from the upcoming expansion “The Grand Tournament” have been revealed. We take a look at the legendary Val’kyr sisters …
The two sisters want only one thing: Your Mana
Every few hours, Blizzard reveals some new cards that will be waiting for HearthStone players next month with the expansion “The Grand Tournament”. The most spectacular newcomers of the current wave are the two legendary Val’kyr sisters, as they have developed quite a fetish for spells.
Fjola Lightbane has solid stats of 3/4 for 3 Mana. Whenever the controlling player targets her with a spell, she gains a Divine Shield. So she could stay on the board for a long time in buff decks, such as Paladin, Druid, or Priest, and take out plenty of enemies.
Her sister, Eydis Darkbane, has the same stats (3/4 for 3 Mana) and a similar, albeit much stronger effect: Whenever the controlling player targets her with a spell, she deals 3 damage to a random enemy! Powerful combinations with spells like “Light of the Naaru” or “Power Word: Shield” can also be created here, allowing for a cheap way to deal a lot of damage.
Another new addition is the Silent Knight. For 3 Mana and 2/2, his stats are low, but he has both Divine Shield and Stealth – a combination that has not yet existed in the game. Especially in combination with the Blood Knight, exciting possibilities could arise, as enemies have few ways to remove a Divine Shield while in Stealth.
The Savage Combatant is a new Druid card and is already very powerful with stats of 5/4 for only 4 Mana. Additionally, he has “Inspiration: Grants your Hero +2 Attack this turn“, which allows the Druid to easily remove many annoying 3 health cards from the board.
The last new announcement for today is the Clockwork Knight, who continues to hoist the banner of Mechs. 5/5 for 5 Mana is solid, his Battlecry gives another friendly Mech +1/+1, making him effectively a 6/6 for 5 Mana. Another addition for Mech decks, which could really use a boost and will surely benefit from this strange knight.
The two Val’kyr will likely take a relatively fixed place in many spell-heavy decks. What do you think about the new cards?
