Four fresh cards for Hearthstone reveal, among other things, the last old god, Yogg-Saron. Check him out here.
Yogg-Saron – The End of All Hope
In Hearthstone, the last old god has now been revealed, who enters the game boards with the upcoming expansion “Whispers of the Old Gods”. Those who enjoy building “fun decks” or just often win the lottery should take a closer look at Yogg-Saron.
If you would love to marry the word “Random,” then you will be very happy with the last old god. Yogg-Saron, Hope’s End is relatively weak with 7/5 for 10 mana, but his Battlecry will certainly decide one or another match and cause many laughs and cries of despair: Cast a random spell for each spell you have cast in this game (targets are determined randomly).” Yes, that sentence has to be read multiple times to understand it.
A little example: Let’s say you have already cast 10 spells in this game and then play Yogg-Saron. Yogg-Saron will then use 10 completely random spells – also from other classes. The targets of these spells will be determined randomly. A “Healing” might land on the opponent and a “Fireball” in your own face. Very likely, Yogg-Saron won’t even survive his own Battlecry. That is chaos in its purest form. And you know what? We like that.
To stay with the topic of RNG, the newest card for Warlock is also part of this spectrum. The spell Spreading Madness deals 9 damage for 3 mana, but to completely random characters. The spell is primarily offered when the opponent has the board full of minions or if you hope to deal the last points of damage. Between “The cheapest Fireball in the world” and “Oh my God, I defeated myself,” this card will probably create many memorable game scenes.
Just random isn’t enough for you? No problem. Warlocks not only love madness but also blood. Blood is life force. Exactly that is what the legendary minion for Warlocks Cho’Gall preys upon. A 7/7 minion for 7 mana is already quite good, but his Battlecry makes him especially interesting: The next spell this turn costs health points instead of mana. Unfortunately, the Warlock doesn’t currently have many spells that cost a lot of mana, but maybe there are some interesting highlights among the new cards.
As if the wild beasts for Hunter weren’t bad enough, a new spell now brings even more beasts into play. Call of the Wild summons all three of the Hunter’s companions at once – namely Huffer, Leokk
and Misha. In the best memory of my childhood, I will already call this card the “Devil’s Trio” – because who wouldn’t want to fight against a buffed charging wild boar that is hiding behind a tank?.
