Blizzard has revealed new cards for the upcoming Hearthstone expansion. Mages are getting a cool quest – with a lot of randomness.
The next expansion for Hearthstone will be “Saviors of Uldum”. Here, the story surrounding the villains of Ü.B.E.L. continues. As usual, there are 135 new cards, which are now being revealed piece by piece. In the meantime, new cards have been released, including the mage’s quest. We show you which cards have been added.
5 new cards from Saviors of Uldum
Mages receive the quest Temple Souvenir. The task is to play at least 10 spells (the quest itself does not count). If successful, the mage receives “Mythical Scroll.” This replaces their hero power and allows the mage to draw a random mage spell for 2 mana that costs 2 mana less. Thus, the mage can generate a spell each round.
Shamans get a powerful new spell, Earthquake. For 7 mana, the spell first deals 5 damage to all minions and then 2 damage to all minions again. This is particularly useful, as any summonings through death rattles can be defeated. It can also destroy numerous minions that would need to be dealt with through a Divine Shield first.
The Weaponized Wasp is also for shamans, but a beast minion. For 3 mana, it has stats of 3/3, but has an interesting effect as a Battlecry. If the player controls a minion, it deals an additional 3 damage to a target.
Druids also receive a new spell with the friendly name ARGH! BEES!!! For 3 mana, the druid can select a minion. Then, they summon 4 bees with 1/1 stats that sequentially attack that minion.
Warlocks are also getting a new spell. For 4 mana, they can cast the Implications spell. This destroys a targeted minion but also shuffles 3 worthless Imps into the warlock’s deck. Worthless Imps are 1/1 demons that cost 1 mana.
What do you think of the new cards? Do you find them cool and interesting? Or is it too much RNG again? Let us know in the comments!
