Hearthstone - That other, other, other Blizzard game

Supposed leak of Naxx cards and bosses here.

Looks legit. Can’t read the text on that 6/8 legendary.

Looks like it says the following:

At the end of the turn, summon all friendly minions that died this turn.

As an 8 drop that’s a 6/8, that’s pretty fucking insane, especially when combined with deathrattles. Amazing effect that interacts with your shit that’s already on the board, and he can’t get hit by BGH!

I don’t understand, BGH is literary there to keep strong cards like that in check if you look at the likes of Illidan, Baron etc. But what is a WoW themed expansion without the immense powercreep.

That 6/8 is the only reason why I think that the leak could be fake. The card would be perfectly balanced if it was a 8/6 instead of a 6/8.

Wouldn’t be the first time Blizzard released OP cards.

You’re giving them too much credit, Blizzard is renown for terrible balance decisions. That 5 mana 4/7 looks really dumb as well.

The oddest thing is not using the last spot on the menu and instead putting it right in the middle

I’m terrified at the thought of what Thaddius is like and all the memories i had of raiding it with 3-5 fps lol.

Also as a note; the 6/8 legendary is Kel’thuzas, the last boss of Naxx in WoW.

So since blizzard wants the deathrattle theme, of course they’ll make him a bit overpowered to the point that people will definitely try to experiment with him.

Turn 7 Sir Zeliek + Master of Disguise anyone?

That’ll be soo stupid rofl, doubt it’ll work. It’ll be a great priest card though. a 1/7 turn 3 minion with a ability like that will fuck up aggro so bad.

Also seems that the 4 horsemen will all have 1/7 stats, well if this was real.

I’m pretty sure that Sir Zeliek is a boss-only card, since it’s being played by a boss character.

I’d assume those are encounter only creatures, no jewel indicating card quality.

Don’t kill my fatigue rogue hype guys :tdown.

Why does that 5 mana 4/7 look ‘really dumb’?

4/7 for 5 is some really good stats, since it has a big butt (doesn’t typically die to 1 card on turn 5). Typically, for 5 mana, an average card will have 10 points worth of stats, with some points being sacrificed for extra abilities. For example, the closest comparison to Feugen, the 4/7 is the 5 mana 3/6 with taunt, Fen Creeper (doesn’t see play due to not killing virtually anything that costs 4 mana in one hit). Additionally, Archmage is a 6 mana 4/7 with +1 spell power, yet it doesn’t see any play for the same reason Fen Creeper doesn’t. Additionally, Feugen’s extra card text can be potentially good enough to offset playing his crappy sibling Stalagg, while no one is rushing to play a 5 cost taunter or 6 cost dude that provides 1 whopping spell damage.

11 stats for 5 mana are nice but 10 stats and a useful text overcome it easily.
Don’t know how ‘usefull’ the text is, but I can’t see it ever being used in competitive games, as a 7/4 is pretty much… terrible.
Simply terrible, it’s pretty impossible to get any value out of it. Core hound value.
Compared to a Stranglethorn or Spiteful, which are situational but seen nowadays, a legendary with those stats feels meh.
Not even comparing the gloriousness of a 5drop that Druid of the Claw is.

Worth a legendary from what’s known so far? No.
Based on current decks, can’t think of one that would run one or even both of them

Stalagg’s best use so far is to trigger a 7 damage Shadowflame.

It’s seldom to get value out of Spiteful Smith’s effect but she’s amazing at eating several cards when your opponent removes her, this card would do the same but better and filling a similar body role for classes without weapons. The effect is also unknown as of now so we’ll see about that I guess.
The quality of the card hardly matters and it’s neutral unlike DotC.
It being dumb is that I can see them gravitating towards having cards with 1 extra thoughness at each mana value, powercreep?

sidenote: Stranglethorn Tigers, have been testing them out with Druid and they’ve been really strong.
