With Dr. Boom’s Secret Lab, there are 135 new cards in Hearthstone. We reveal to you which cards we are particularly looking forward to – and why.
In a few days, the new expansion of Hearthstone will start. With Dr. Boom’s Secret Lab, Mechs are revived and there is a new “Magnetic” mechanic. With a total of 135 new cards, there is plenty of choice in “The Boomsday Project”. We have selected our favorite cards and present our Top 5. We have decided not only based on which card is likely to be the “most powerful”, but also on which card will provide the most fun and variety.
Rank 5: Flark’s Boomzooka
Hunters receive a particularly funny legendary spell. For 8 mana, they can cast Flark’s Boomzooka, after which three random minions from their own deck will be played. The minions then attack enemy minions and die.
This is not only a powerful defensive spell to eliminate particularly tough threats but also works great when building a Deathrattle Deck. Because the Deathrattle effects will, of course, be triggered.
Rank 4: Luna’s Pocket Galaxy
Mages typically rely more on their spells and only a handful of minions. However, if you don’t want that, you should keep the legendary spell Luna’s Pocket Galaxy in mind. For 7 mana, it reduces the cost of all minions in your deck to 1.
Other classes have to complete a quest for such an effect – Mages only need the spell. A strong incentive to stuff Mage decks with minions again!
Rank 3: Collision Accelerator
Warriors receive one of the coolest weapons that have ever been in the game. The Collision Accelerator costs a proud 5 mana, deals only 1 damage, and has 3 durability, but has a particularly cool effect. After a minion has been attacked with the weapon, that minion attacks one of its neighbors.
This means you can make opposing minions fight each other and eliminate themselves. This is not only a new, cool way of board control but also a longer threat. Because the opponent will be discouraged from playing more than one minion that could potentially eliminate each other.
Rank 2: EMP Expert
The EMP Expert is a neutral epic minion that is available to every class. For 5 mana, it has only 3/3 stats, but a pretty important effect as a battle cry: Destroys a Mech.
In an expansion that is largely about Mechs connecting with magnetic effects and enabling endless improvements, such a counter cannot be missed. We assume it will be a staple in almost every deck.
Rank 1: Heraldin Celestia
Heraldin Celestia is a legendary card for 4 mana that comes with strong stats of 5/6. It also has stealth and a pretty cool effect: After your opponent plays a minion, that minion transforms into a copy of it.
Celestia thus presents the opponent with several problems. Since it has stealth, it cannot easily be removed by a spell or minion. However, if you don’t remove it, it is an above-average strong card for 4 mana.
Sure: In many cases, Celestia will simply be transformed into a weak creature. But in many cases, the opponent will be slowed down by this. Because who wants their opponent to get a strong minion, like a Mountain Giant?
Celestia will depend greatly on the situation and the opponent’s hand – but it has at least the potential to be a pretty cool card – coupled with the risk of having no effect at all.
