New cards for Rastakhan’s Rumble in Hearthstone have been revealed. Especially the Priest can look forward to a brilliant Legendary: Talanji adds to the already annoying “Thief Priest.”
In a few weeks, it will be time, then the new expansion for Hearthstone will start. Rastakhan’s Rumble lures with 135 new cards that Blizzard is revealing piece by piece. Here, we want to introduce you to a few of the new cards. You will surely see them in many matches soon.
Mages indulge in the Arkanosaurus, which will find a place in many Elemental decks. The dinosaur costs 6 Mana and has weak stats of 3/3, but a powerful Battlecry: It deals 3 damage to all other minions if the Mage played an Elemental last turn.
Why Mages are becoming powerful anyway, we have shown here.
Also for Mages is the Fire Roll, a new spell for 5 Mana. This spell deals 2 damage to all minions, but has the additional effect of Overkill (meaning if a minion dies and would have taken more damage than it has health): Draw a random Mage spell into your hand.
A neutral Legendary minion is the well-known troll Gaunah, with stats of 4/5 for 4 Mana. As a Battlecry, the player discovers 2 cards. However, one of them will be randomly given to the opponent at the end! So choose wisely…
Druids can grab the Spirit of the Raptors, a minion for 1 Mana with weak stats of 0/3. Its strength comes from being stealth for one turn, allowing the Druid to draw a card every time they attack and destroy a minion with their hero.
Shamans also receive a spirit, the Spirit of the Frog. It costs a hefty 3 Mana but also has stats of only 0/3. It is stealth for a turn and ensures that every time a spell is cast, another spell is drawn from the deck that costs 1 Mana more than the previous one.
Also for Shamans is the new spell for only 1 Mana, the Totem Toss. This deals 2 damage, and as an Overkill effect, summons a random basic totem afterward.
Paladins are waiting for the new Legendary High Priest Thekal. This costs 3 Mana and has solid stats of 3/4, but an interesting Battlecry. It converts all of the hero’s health to Armor, leaving only 1 health! This is especially useful if you have large healing at hand afterward to effectively build a huge pool of health and armor.
In line with this, Paladins receive the Zandalar Templar, a minion for 4 Mana with just acceptable stats of 4/4. It becomes significantly stronger due to its Battlecry, as it gains +4/+4 and Taunt if the Paladin has restored 10 health in this game!
Murloc fans get the Murloc Gourmet for their collection. This Murloc costs 4 Mana and has only stats of 3/2, but has an interesting Deathrattle: Draw 2 Murlocs from your deck.
Priests probably get one of the coolest Legendary minions in Rastakhan’s Rumble. They can call Princess Talanji, who, for 8 Mana, only has stats of 7/5, but a devastating Battlecry: Summon all minions from your hand that were not in your deck at the start of the game. So those who have stolen many minions from the opponent or created them through other cards can flood the entire board.
What do you think of the new cards? Is there something cool for you?
Have you already seen that the big plague from WoW is becoming a Hearthstone card?
