| metroid composite 07/15/20 9:05:28 PM #382: | UltimaterializerX posted... https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/11659/hearthstone-reveals-upcoming-expansion-scholomance-academy-14-cards-shown Nature Studies: utterly busted. It's like better Raven Idol. What? Lightning Bloom: Eh. It's net 0 mana for 1 card. Sure, moving the mana forward a turn is nice and all, but I don't see it in a tempo deck, and control decks don't want innervate anyway. Maybe for a combo deck? Malygos Shaman or something? Wand Thief: 1 mana minions with combo have typically underperformed cause you can't actually play them on turn 1. Devolving Missiles: Devolve is like...among the top 10 best cards in wild I think. The one card that really kept Shaman relevant in the meta long past when they probably would have gone away naturally. A 1 mana version that hits some enemies is probably...not as good, but playable! Transfer Student: wtf Wretched Tutor: Underwhelming...but neutral, so maybe has some relevance in classes that don't have board clears. Frazzled Freshman: Definitely has potential if there's a tempo priest. 1 mana 1/4 is no joke. Goody Two Shields: 3 mana 4/2 divine shield is...very playable with no extra bonuses. Paladin needs the help, though, so sure I guess. Libram of Wisdom is an easy activation of the spellburst too. First day of School: Super, super good. It's probably better than Fire Fly on average. It goes into pure paladin decks as the 1 drop they were missing. Also, technically an even card, so slamming it into my attempts at wild even paladin. That said, holy hell RNG batman. I thought they were toning down RNG on tempo plays from turns 1-3. Cult Neophyte: 2 mana version of Loatheb. But man, +1 mana is so minor. I don't really see this one going anywhere. Diligent Notetaker: If spellburst works the way I think it works (once only, but the trigger lasts until you cast a spell even if the minion dies) yeah, this is solid. Basically 2 mana 2/3 draw a card. I don't think it saves shaman in standard, but as a stand-alone card it's fine. Troublemaker: I don't think this makes the cut in standard decks, but man, there's going to be some highlight reels of streamers getting owned turn after turn by this card going full ragnaros sniper. EDIT: actually taking another look, I think I was wrong in my first assessment, this is probably actually just a good card. It's like ragnaros/priestess of fury. Like Priestess of Fury it doesn't have "can't attack" so it represents tons of damage if left alive. It's only 6 random damage at end of turn like Priestess despite being 8 mana buuuuut If the 3/3s it generates go face, you just get to keep a 3/3. Also 6/8, when Priestess needed to get nerfed to 6/5, so that's a lot of health. Rattlegore: Is this a way for warrior to outvalue Priest? Ehh...no, Priest just saves Plague of Death for it. What about outvaluing Gala Rogue? Hmm...maybe? Sapping this doesn't stop the value train, Fliking this is no good, Blackjack Stunner now only makes this cost 10 so it's still playable, yeah, maybe this is the card that makes Warriors not lose the value game against Gala Rogue? Shan'do Wildclaw: ANOTHER HUFFER?!? Yup! Also, there's a 10 mana play in Druid that involves playing Winged Guardian and copying it, so that's cool I guess. And in decks with enough beasts, this on turn 3 is like Keleseth. Seems...really good, but I might be imagining best case scenarios for it. It is narrow, and the keleseth effect requires you to be a beast build which...there aren't really any full beast decks in standard right now. So ehh...maybe this is not actually as good as it looks. --- Cats land on their feet. Toast lands peanut butter side down.
