Hearthstone

Every time you summon a mech it gets DS. Can you imagine if it lives a turn? Summon a mech, trade with a Yeti/Ancient of Lore/Sludge Belcher/anything with SIX health for free. Summon another mech, DS again. Most classes don't have one free damage to deal with DS. Granted it depends on how good mech decks are going to be for Paladins.

No, I can't imagine it living a turn. Because it's a 6 cost minion with 3 health. There is no version of reality where I can imagine it living a turn.

It depends on if it gets a DS from itself. Which I'm assuming no, it doesn't. Which means then you have to wait until you can play it + a mech on the same turn anyway and it STILL has to live past that.

It costs 5.... Also you can't imagine it on a clear board? Behind a taunt?

It doesn't trigger for itself and start with a DS does it? I don't think it would...but sometimes timing in HS is odd.

Odds are it 2 for 1's most of the time, and has even more potential.

This card is lol though

If by lol, you mean really nice...I can see that in a paly rush deck. Especially since I'm expecting Paladins to get a Crusade card in this set.

I'd rather get like 5 1/1s than 3 1/1s and a lights justice. Interesting but ultimately bad card imo.

Its 3 mana with 2 mechwarpers out meaning you can potentially play it on turn 3 if you've got coin (you can also get the DS up if you have any 1 or 2 mana mechs in hand that you can now play for 0 cost)

5 mana Cobalt Guardian > 5 Mana Upgraded Repair Bot combo gives it a bit of survivability to it late game though probably a bit slow

Yes, I can see many potent combos out there when you can combine Priest and Paladin class specific cards.

D'oh yeah I missed the class border on that when checking out the mech page, was still a meh combo anyway for a turn 10 play. Pretty much agree that the 3 health at 5 mana make the card prohibitive in most games.

Cobalt Guardian is bad. Are you guys serious? How long does Knife Juggler live? or the Shaman overload creature, etc? (oh and don't even start on about how "those cards are still played... because that's totally irrelevant, they are ~<3 mana, it's fine if you don't get their bonus or it only goes off once... the same isn't true for a 5 drop). You seriously think you can set up a line of taunts just to benefit from a few divine shield tokens that are only crated upon summoning a mech? And then utilizing those DS "tokens" beneficially with a 5/3? Not going to happen. It's going to die to 2 drops/2 mana cost cards and you are going to weep. Bad. Highly situational, very low and tiny potential. Only good card in past few days is the Druid one, and they don't even really have room for a 2 drop, unless the rest of the unreleased cards warp the meta so hard the Druid does a 180.

The summon 3 squires and a 1/4 is interesting though. Won't reserve judgment just yet.Kinda funny that it combos so well with Sword of Justice tho. Altho I guess it'd only waste 1 charge at max, otherwise just refresh you with a fresh (albeit weak) weapon.

Also, might I add how annoyed I am with them making class specific cards interact with the Mech so heavily? Just doesn't feel right, feels stupid/bad for some reason I can't articulate?

Now if muster for battle was summon 3 silver hand recruits and say add a durability to your weapon? I'd be all over that like a fat kid on cake. Captain Greenskin is already borderline playable in control paladin.

Ben Brode on Twitter:

I have a Sword of Justice equipped and then cast Muster for Battle. What happens next? Go!


you get some 2/2's then it breaks your weapon.

Why would that even need clarification from Ben Chode? Seems like a pretty straight-forward interaction.

We've seen less than half the cards. Almost all bitching is unwarranted.

These cards seem like a hot pile of crap in many instances. I'm starting to wonder why I'm hoarding all this gold and dust.

Yeah, so far there aren't too many "MUST GET" cards. Naxx was pretty obvious with some strong cards shown but I have yet to be "wowed" by any card shown so far.
