Old Gods, New Tricks

4/25/2016

0 Comments

 
​​Whatever you're thinking heading into tomorrow's release of Hearthstone's latest expansion, Whispers of the Old Gods, you've got to hand it to Blizzard, they went for it. They really went for it. 

This set doesn't have any of those foot-off-the-gas vibes that accompanied last year's Grand Tournament. Lots of these cards share the creative, deceptively powerful kind of effects that were introduced in League of Explorers, which changed Hearthstone in a lot of unexpected ways. With a good chunk of LoE being slept on (and another sizable portion seeing zero play), I don't think there's ever been a set that is coming with as much anticipation. 

A baker's dozen from THL weigh in on what they love, what they hate, and what's going to surprise us from The Old Gods. There's plenty of worry mixed in with the excitement, perhaps best expressed through the very divisive Yogg-Saron, Hope's End the old god that casts a buttload of random spells at random targets.

Will this card be fun? Will this card be infuriating? Will it make you question the very validity of this game from a competitive perspective? I'm pretty sure we don't have to wait for tomorrow to know the answer to those questions, it's an answer which applies to so much of this great game, it's yes. 
​

Cards THL Loves

Picture
​​
​Cho'Gall, whilst probably not powerful, it fits the theme of warlock so organically and still breathes new life into the class. --Killajive

I love Cho'Gall. I think his card text and design is super cool. Enabling Warlock to health for tempo is neat. Not sure if he'll be playable but I dig him. --Mainge

Evolve, it's a full on heal and it makes your minions even stronger. Its like a spare part gone Super Saiyan. --Detrucci

Darkshire Alchemist. Auchenai Soulpriest is one of my favorite cards, and this puts a Flash Heal on a very decent body. --Gideoneko

​I love Fandral Staghelm. It reminds me of Brann in a way that it's still a solid minion even if you can't get the value out of it, however, if it lives, there are several strong combos you can pull off, such as 4 damage draw a card wrath or 4/6 taunt with charge. --cheesee10

Fandral Staghelm. 3/5 is decent for a 4 drop and the multiple choose 1 value could help druid with card advantage. --SmokedSalmon

Fiery Bat. It fills the much need 1 drop slot for midrange hunter with webspinner leaving. I think it will be an auto include in all hunter decks for the next two years. --MVParker

What Would You Do - The Hairy Generals vs Continuum

Well what a finals it was, stream was crazy and to end the entire season on a double deathwing and 3 golden monkeys...it doesn't get much more crazy than that. A huge pat on the back for everyone who took part in season 2. What a major success it was for the entire community and for THL.

PokeHer (The Hairy Generals) vs Alexstrasza (Those Filthy Roleplayers) 

Here we are put in the hands of a Midrange Druid, the current score for the series is 2-2 and this is the deciding game. But we have an interesting turn coming up.... Our opponent is a Warrior and has a Death's Bite equipped and an Armoursmith on the board
Our 5 Helpful Hints
  • The opponent currently has 5 cards in hand
  • The coin was used by our opponent for his current weapon which he used to hit our Pilotted Shredder. The result is our current 2 drop on the board
  • Loatheb would stop spells but if he is patron, It would not stop his weapon's whirlwind effect
  • Shade of Naxxrammus is an incredible card versus warrior as they have no real way of dealing with it.
  • There is the option of clearing the armorsmith  or ramping up with Wild Growth
Picture

HotAsianGirl (The Hairy Generals) vs ArbitraryArmor (Those Filthy Roleplayers)

In this match we have a Renolock and we are up against Control Warrior. Sylvanas Windrunner has been dropped on the board by the Warrior. We have quite a few options for this turn. What is the play you would make?
Our 5 Helpful Hints
  • The opponent currently has 7 cards in hand
  • The coin was used last turn to get the Sylvanas out by the opponent
  • Syphon Soul could kill it in 1 shot.
  • We pretend it doesn't exist or trade into it and play a minion with our mana in order to regain board
  • We could tap and see if we can pull out a silence or play the Defender of Argus + Mortal Coil
Picture

Mainge (Team Rank 5) vs Godsgift6917 (Noob Central)

2 Shredders at the same time? For many players, this would not be an easy turn. What is the best way to go about this one?
Our 5 Helpful Hints
  • The opponent currently has 7 cards in hand
  • We can use the Sludge Belcher to trade into one of them
  • Justicar on turn 6 is a great play, especially behind a defence
  • Lightbomb would kill both of them and leave up the Sludge Belcher
  • Cabal Shadow Priest could be an option if your really lucky after popping one of the shredders
