[UltraVid id=63 ]hey guys how’s it going crane here bringing you guys another card review from the upcoming nights of the Frozen Throne expansion now I’m just going to go where I left off if you want to see my other reviews for the cards preceding these ones you just go back in order and the cards are going to be in the order that they were revealed in this last I don’t know four day period or something there’s been a lot of cards and kind of a contrast to what we’ve seen the last few weeks of releases it reveals I suppose these cards are actually somewhat good at least a decent number of them we’re starting to see some extremely powerful deck and meta defining cards and some of them are really exciting you know when the expansion was first revealed the hype level was relatively high because it’s you know Lich King stuff and then we saw the cards and we saw the second batch of cards and then was actually pretty low but once we started seeing these cards in the last few days things have been on the up and I am actually pretty excited to try some of these kick it off we got animated berserker 1 mana 1/3 that’s like oh no no more of these it’s for warrior o pirate over here but then after you play me and deal 1 damage to it is like wow that’s really crap in like just you know a curved deck you have to have massive synergy for a card like this to be good in an early game deck otherwise you’re using this for extreme combo activators and more of like a mid-range warrior list I can’t really imagine what that would be like but the effect is powerful a lot of the time you’d see control warriors and mid-range warriors wasting cards like whirlwind just to do one damage to the stuff that you’re playing now with this card you can basically do that as well and you have something on the board and it’s a threat to continue doing damage to your own minions which might not be a threat really but I think you can design that around that that would make sense that would actually have this card kind of like the key point of the deck kind of like Malc as our amp is to a discard warlock we have sanguine revealer another one drop warlock battle cry destroy friendly meaning gain plus two plus two so yeah it’s like a one-man of three three and some minions are pretty damn disposable but it’s not always the case that you can do that so it’s a bit of a clunky card it’s a pretty interesting though I think the best case for this card is you have like a divine shield or like death rattle II garbage minion in turn one you play this on turn two and a 3/3 on turn two plus maybe another one drop is actually a gigantic lead on the board I think it could help Zhu Locke certainly going to help warlock in arena a little bit not a lot but a little bit and maybe that’s good enough to see a bit more warlocks in that game mode and howling Commander 3 cos 2t a battle cry draw divine shield mending from your deck so this card is pretty powerful you get a card draw for three for a 2/2 that alone is fair I wouldn’t call that good but it’s fair all right people get all excited about you know drop it all man you play dis you get your tea really so what it’s going to have more divine shit and divine shield minions and tearing your deck you might not get Tyrion and even if you get Tyrion you definitely turn on the next turn you just had a crappy tempo play you can’t play this on turn 10 and then plate in because that’s a lot of mana this is like to cost zero one with that battle cry I think that would actually be stronger so it’s it’s interesting but you’re really going to have to make a like a deck full of divine shield minions full of shields everything for this to work and you basically are working off of the fact that you might be playing a deck with a lot of low drops a lot of divine shield minions and the fact that you’re sacrificing tempo to play this can kind of be made up almost immediately not just oh it’s Tyrion again but fairly strong card still venom strike trap when one of your minions is attacked some in a 2/3 poisonous Cobra it’s not that this is a pretty good secret a lot of people just lost their minds over this is nothing to lose your mind about it’s obviously a strong secret but when you’re playing a poisonous Cobra into a board that your opponent controls it’s often not going to be as good unless you’re running a lot of top minions you’re playing hunter running a lot of top minions I’m not so sure that’s going to work but who knows in the expansion new deck types and all this might actually be a much stronger card than they realize but I think it’s just – it snow flipper penguin yeah another one of these it’s a beast of Time shadow blade 3 cost 3 – lose the robe weapon and the battle cry gives your hero immunity for the turn so if you think about it on turn 3 may be responding to your opponent’s turn 3 you’re kind of like saving 3 damage attack into something be like for damage off the immunity effect there’s kind of like a mini truesilver it’s a little bit less of that because the truesilver sometimes you you can attack your opponent’s face and that to heal actually saves you from dying to burn damage so it’s a little bit worse than than true silver it comes out earlier in the class 4 has quite heavy weapon competition so it’s pretty tricky um could be good but mmm I have my doubts defile this is one of those really exciting cards you’ll one damage all minions if any die cast this again look at that so this card is obviously complete trash if your opponent is playing mid-range minions and upwards but it’s just it’s disgusting versus aggro decks like if you just think about most agra decks or most zoo decks or most like early game to mid game decks and they have like curve play style so they’re usually playing like a 1 or 2 health minion turn 1 2 or 3 health minion on turn 2 3 or 4 health mean I’m turn 4 this is like kill that one kill the next one kill the one after that kill one after that like wow it’s really good like Saul knows to get that first bump to deal to on the first draw card that another one card is ridiculous against those deck types obviously it has a lot to do with how many people actually playing agra decks but if the last like 3 years of kristen has taught us anything a lot of people are going to be playing at ago decks so there’s a really good card and it might be good enough to just the warlock on the map in many more States than just a control deck cryostasis talked about this card in want to yesterday’s videos how Freese works and all that it’s a lot better than it seems you can use this auto be played in the previous turn to attack with it so you kind of get like a form and a three-five with an ability card but it works off of your hero power so you have a dead turn it recovers you from a dead turn that’s some flexibility with freeze mechanics it can just be used as a freeze to stop your opponent from attacking the specific minion can be used with BGH so it’s it’s probably not like crazy good but it’s not bad and it definitely looks bad so you know be optimistic about this card to give it a try I think you’ll probably be impressed and yeah another freeze minion thing for shaman whenever another minion is frozen add a copy of it to your hand it’s six mana though and it’s 4/4 that’s huge huge drop in stats from what you expect for six mana six mana is a lot shaman has gigantic minions for the mana costs so this is not up against like boulderfist ogre this is up against some of the best minions in the game so oh man I don’t know we’ve seen some really crazy combo shamans in the past we’ve never seen them at Tier one so I mean this just feels as good as it might be as strong as it might be you feel like it’s not as consistent or strong as other purely combo oriented shaman decks and those have never been at the top of the ladder like ever except maybe for wild with like debt realm is lost but we’re talking about standard and rain and mostly and I don’t see it happening there it’s potentially a very fun card and it might it might create like a tier 2 deck who knows eternal servitude for cost discover a friendly minion a diverse game and some and oh my god this card is bonkers obviously you have to make a very specific deck you have to make sure you have very few minions and it always lands on a minion over for mana hopefully one way over for mana and the tempo lead ends up giving you the whole game extreme synergy with Barnes just crazy powerful effect but that whole deck is really weak against transform removal so again it’s going to be a meta defining deck hard to say that it’s going to be tier 1 because if you have everyone playing a deck works around this card then Shama I’m just going to run devolve in hexes and your decks going to be garbage so it creates a very powerful deck but that deck is very easy to counter and that’s really important to understand in arena though those counters are not always available and this card is probably going to be stronger in arena than constructed even though a lot of the time it’s going to pick up some pretty bad minions because you still have to curve out in arena it’s just that in arena if you can play like a five drop and maybe a six wrap and then read the five drop and a six drop with this card maybe even sneak in a hero power or something you know it that’s just that’s so hard to come back from if you’re playing against the priest so we’ll see doomed apprentice mage card three men at three to the opponent’s belt cost one more nothing crazy looking but I feel this effect is very powerful spells are generally fairly well balanced at their mana cost and your opponent will generally save very key spells for very key moments and you can predict that and screw that up I don’t know how strong that effect is overall because we haven’t really messed around of the effect that’s kind of like a marginal up in the cost of spells but I think this effect maybe not this card this effect is very powerful Princeville in our forecast for for battle cry if your deck has no four cost cards game life stone taught it’s it’s not that difficult to make a deck with another four drops we’ve seen like mid-range hunter kind of like aggressive shaman decks a few other things that just naturally don’t have four drops so for mana for a 4/4 lifesteal taunt and kind of like a curved minion based deck yeah that might not be not be too bad it’s it’s difficult to see this card carrying any deck but you know if you happen to open it in your packs don’t feel bad if you open the other princes you can feel bad but if you could open this one and you’re kind of like a free-to-play player you can probably drop this in a few decks and it’ll be pretty good dead man’s hand this is probably the most exciting card I’ve seen in the expansion so far so it’s a to cost warrior spell that does basically nothing in waste the card what it does though is allow control warrior to go infinite if you just have a control warrior deck and you’re like at zero cards you have a hand with like seven cards and you have two of these in your hand you play one of them and the other six cards go back in your deck but one of the other six cards is the other dead man’s hand and then you can even wait until you have ten cards and double up on some of those and then use one of the two dead men basically if you use this card while the other one is in your hand you will never run two cards in your deck unless somehow your deck goes missing and I guess it might be possible you’ll see in the same okay so that’s ridiculous the reason that’s ridiculous is because the control where your archetype has actually done pretty well against Agra decks it just has I don’t know how to say this failed miserably against the modern control decks I have extreme card generation control where it just doesn’t have the card generation it doesn’t have the card value that it used to on a comparative level to the other control decks but this changes all of that you can play controller and run a ton of draw you can play controller and run a ton of wasteful card just give you armor like that other card that was released my last review you know ten armor and reduce the cost of your close minions hand by two it looks really crappy well this is what with that it’s pretty good those are you’re printing a card now I can totally see this deck working and this is the heart of that deck so I think I’m gonna have some fun with that spreading plague pot cost drew spell summon scarabs with toss probably beasts and you basically match how many minions your opponent has over you so if you have what two things your opponent’s four things this summons two of them I think it’s decent value if you summon two obviously not if your opponent has big minions but Jen this is an anti agri card as you can imagine it’s very good if you can you know bust them all with like plus one plus one even that would just be gigantic so is there with you combo that you can pull off with druid to make this really spectacular naturally really spectacular against aggro it just going to get a really flexible card on a high power level like if your opponent has five things we have none you’ve got 25 health worth of taunt you get a +1 +1 to buff on those that’s 5 to 6 tops your opponent might just never get through those might just instantly win the game from that so it really is pretty crazy even effect this is the hero card for mage frost glitch Jaina I think it was leaked a few weeks ago people didn’t think it was real well turns out it’s pretty real 9 cost 5 armored battle cry summon two three six water elemental and your elementals have life steal this game holy crap I also change your hero power that’s your hero power then nuts yes that’s not so if you hit something that your power and it dies you sum the water lentil wire lentils that elemental and it has life steel so I think this card is absolutely insane I think people are not realizing just how good this is so if you have a few elementals employee let’s say you have 10 attack worth of elementals you play this you heal for 10 and you gain 5 onwards you like seal for 15 it’s not a dead turn you know healing for 15 and playing a 3 6 water elemental and having like enormous threats on the board and on the following turn like that’s not small at all this card is crazy now the issue is we see a lot of very powerful control cards with the dead man’s hand with warriors with this it’s just that right now crazy control decks still get pretty countered by like quest mage so while these decks might be really powerful they might just get meted out still so we’ll have to see ice Walker 2 cos 1 3 you’re here power also freezes a target I don’t know how good that’s going to be but this is gonna be really annoying oh my god like in arena and value oriented game mode you play a big minion it gets frozen by this you play another small minion it gets like removed the big meaning its frozen again just being able to constantly stall out a favor abort to the position for board clears it’s just insanely powerful and the card and constructive is going to need a lot of work to try to understand the meta and make it work in that sense but I think in arena clear cut this Hart is going to be just super powerful with other board clears you know we talked about card sanitizing other cards this has super synergy with board clears it’s just ridiculous any board clears and you’ve played mage there’s quite a few to stumble upon meat wagon for cost one for mech death-rattle somewhat a minion from your deck with less attack than this minion so obviously if you don’t bust this card it’s not very good there’s a few exceptions but very few and not really exceptions they’re just kind of okay not too bad but the idea is you play this you give it like a cold blood and suddenly you can get a malygos from your deck and if you can do that unlike turn five well you’re sitting pretty yeah yeah that’s about it this is an extremely dangerous card in specific decks so much so that I think we’d actually maybe see play in adventurous combo deck probably in the tier 2 area very weak arena card though and cronic can guys but I know it’s not I don’t whatever okay the name is what it is six five thirty one of your other minion dies from the – – ghoul and presumably when the ghoul died they summoned more – two ghouls so extremely steamroll e card pretty powerful but just coughed a lot of mana and has no health so it’s difficult to imagine these cards in constructed play but it’s obviously fairly powerful arena card especially in what I imagine would be like a zoo like deck maybe like a temple rogue or maybe like a zoo warlock cobalt scale Bane 5 cost five five dragon in the common slot so another spices story in arena at least we’re going to get a huge bump and we’re just going to see a lot more of this card just being your expansion common slot play arena you’re going to end up facing this the end of your turn give another friendly random minion plus three attack so it’s kind of like five four and eight five it’s not anything more than that because it doesn’t actively buff it but if you can target the buff on specific guys it’s powerful this is a powerful card I don’t know maybe dragon priests maybe the extra dragon will help the old really powerful dragons with the discovers and stuff I don’t know other than that I’m not so sure but it’s very good marina known for a 2/2 cost two three battle crowded with the top card from your opponent’s deck so this might look innocent this is not innocent this is a really powerful card I mean I’m excited to see this effect but I’m also a little terrified that are sewn going this direction I really want to try it I think we’re going to have some amazing moments with cards like these but I just feel like if people like it Blizzard might make like 10 cards like this and then we’ll have another level of RNG to our games what cards is my opponent removed from my deck if I try to play it so but it is really interesting if you think about it if you played a lot of the control decks when you have very key combinations or very key cards that you required actually win the game having even one of those removed to just end it not think about playing against like freeze mage you see an acolyte and you know you can give them like three cards but if it discards one if you can draw three for them by like triple painting and acolyte just to mail one of their cards that’s often worth it it’s often a play you’ll do you’ll see like an tonightís mill their seed Alice draws a mill you actually win the game from that play just because getting rid of a very specific cards completely nullifies your opponent’s chance to win in some cases and depending on the meta that can be in a lot of cases so card like this can be very powerful my only argument against the card like this is that warlock is kind of like a very brutish class especially if you’re playing zoo like minions seems to be like a zoo like minions so if you think about it like you know if you mail a lost rasa when playing a freeze mage you’re still going to lose to the freeze mage because you’re playing the lock against freeze mage same with like an tinnitus you know you might you might not take an extra six or seven or ten damage but you’re still probably going to lose that match the zoo warlock decks generally do pretty badly or completely crush their matchups and that’s especially true for combo and control next so I think if this was like a priest card I would lose my shit but this is a warlock card and it’s actually pretty balanced I’m just a little bit terrified that there’s going to be a lot of cards as mechanic in the future but who knows welke your soul claimer three cost one for when this meaning survives damage survive not take damage survive damage some 1/8 – to Google so a powerful effect you know if you can get one ghoul it’s not bad but if you intentionally damage it yourself that’s not the same as absorbing damage you know so if you play like that one drop that build damage to your own stuff as you play it and damages this it’s kind of like playing a three mana 4 a 1 3 and a 2 2 and maybe a little bit of value after that but it’s pretty unlikely 3 health means typically die off so it’s it’s very unlikely you’re going to get more than one ghoul and if you self inflict that damage to get the one ghoul you’re looking at 3 metaphor 1 3 + 2 – that doesn’t like to break the game or anything I don’t know if there’s a if there’s like a specific use for the ghouls that could totally change that maybe there’s like some ghoul consuming card I mean it’s like the Lich King and shit after all right it could happen I don’t know but as a standalone card I think the power level is quite low stitched tracker 3 cost 2 – battlecry discover a copy of a minion in your deck this is pretty strong as a hunter card you can a fish for the very few other minions you have included in your deck and that might be a really big deal would be I think a bottle bow man that’s death rattle summons a beast random beef and dice game this is not a beast so you could run very few beasts maybe around like one other beast and two of the obama bow man’s and with this card you could actually make that work and line it up so your gigantic beasts get revived throughout the game and i like it i like a combo enabler on a fairly mediocre power level a decent Arena card for a class that’s kind of in the middle I think this is a very well designed card sunborne Valkyr five four five four neutral give a JSON minions plus two health that’s pretty good in arena though over talk about arena because this is obvious not good never consignment but in arena getting a little bit extra health and pushing that tempo is a really big deal this is certainly a valuable card probably in a similar level to dark iron and dwarf it’s just a little bit trickier to set up so if you’re playing a spell have you made your priest deck which often are it’s not going to be as good as like dark iron dwarf but if you’re playing a minion heavy deck probably more of the likes of paladin’s or druids or you know warlock there’s a lot stronger because if you can have two minions trade up at the same time as well as playing an attack oriented static card that is a huge tempo boost to the board so should be interesting and I like the fact that it again encourages people to think in advance or positioning even I’ve screwed up a lot all of us do it’s something that good players will often win more from than in newer players and I appreciate that okay so this is the priests legendary people lost their mind over this card they really did battlecry shuffle a copy of your opponent’s deck into your deck so that’s really insane it’s just that like if your opponent playing an aggro deck this card is like worthless so discard like you know often we talk about a card being good or not based on how the meta happens but there’s usually still some innate worth to the card so you know card like pretty good but it could be really good if the meta kind of makes it work well this card is just total ass if your opponents are all playing agar it’s just horrible unplayable it will lose you the game if you don’t play it it’ll lose you the game if you do play it horrible against control matchups you will go from probably close to a 50/50 to nearly automatically winning so it is one of the most polarizing cards based on the meta that we will see that’s what makes it basically impossible to really analyze but I did have a few other thoughts on the card as a whole I think it’s just overall going to be a really fun card very meme card having a ton of cards in your deck you see like Prince vs. Prince legendary matchups when you play this and you have like nearly 70 cards in your deck or maybe you can bounce this and constantly play it to have even more than that you know just some really crazy moments are going to happen and I love me cards like that the other aspect is I have a feeling that deck trackers are going to make this card a bit unfair and I worried that I really like deck trackers to be honest I think that Blizzard might take a stance on deck trackers because they are actually abusable with this card so think about it you know if you have a deck tracker and the deck tracker can actually track the cards in your deck I don’t know if they can do that but I’m pretty sure they can that could be a problem because if just by playing the game normally you can’t see that well that could be an advantage however that might not be the case it might be one of those cards where you can just hover over the effect on the left and you can see all the cards that went into your deck so it might be pretty fair but I think it’s something that Blizzard should have in mind hopefully it did have it in mind when coding everything embrace darkness another face card spell epic choose an enemy minion at the start of your turn take control of it so it seems like a powerful effect it’s it’s not as good as mine control you might think well it’s like mind control except your opponent injures the card more that’s not true it’s worse than that so if you’re playing this card compared to mind control yes you save for mana but one your opponent is going to injure that minion the best it can that’s a reality so it’s gonna it’s going to be like pre attacked that meaning is also going to kill something that you had in play most likely your opponent’s next turn after you play this is going to be set up in a way where he can kill the minion that you just took from him and also because you play this it does nothing then you take the menu on your next turn it won’t get charged so it will still do nothing it’s basically like a to turn delay on being able to use the minion versus mind controls one turn delay there’s a lot of disadvantages and honestly six-man is a lot kinder than 10 but that is a pretty stacked list of disadvantages against using this card now if we see just like some really hyper control meta that probably won’t matter just playing this just be as good as playing a mind control and maybe you’d want to do that because it’s slightly better in terms of curving up so you know maybe you’ll actually see play but it is a very clunky card and I do not think it’s better than mine control it it’s at best about as good just at the meta might make that a decent case then we have phantom freebooter for cost 3/3 pirate battle cried game stats equal to your weapons so a neutral card obviously unlike arena is pretty difficult to bank on weapons but if you’re playing rogue it’s at worst for for a 4/4 which is okay disadvantage is a pirate because it can get Galaga but that’s not too bad in the end obviously some pretty crazy combos but it’s still a minion that has a silence of effect it’s a pirate and has to wait a turn to attack make you some stats and it’s just stats so it’s not going to not break the game or anything then we have mind breaker 3 cost to 5 hero powers that are disabled man it looked like a custom hearthstone card without ever seen one I like it though it’s a different dynamic it’s a different approach to your game plan playing hearthstone and I have no idea how strong this is going to be I imagine it’s designed to be played against decks that rely on the hero powers that they’re granted from their new death knight hero version of hero cards because you know if you have like a normal hair powder on your phone has a really Opie Opie here to power then this card is really good 3 cost to 5 on curve that’s pretty good so yeah overall that might be all right now we have Crypt Lord 3 cost one-sixth taunt not bad after you summon a minion game plus one health so another one of those cards where it could just be so good if it had a little bit better attack but it’s still not bad three four one six taht is gigantic for that stage in the game it’s another like crazy anti agra card which seems to be the theme for Drude and of this upcoming expansion so far but again we have no clue how well that would fit into the meta all I can say is it’s a fair arena card for the moment hope you guys enjoy my review and that certainly looks like the cards are heating up and looks like we’ll actually have quite a lot of awesome decks awesome moments and just some really cool stuff coming so hope you guys are adding the increased hype and excitement and wait you [Music]
