Astromancer https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/astromancer/ Rating: Awful Comment: You need a hand full of cards, which means you're playing control. If you're playing control, you need to be doing things to thwart your opponent's aggression. You might have time to cast this in control v control games, but at that point aren't there better options, like Dragoncaller Alanna, which kinda just win you the game outright? Celestial Emissary https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/celestial-emissary/ Rating: Low Comment: It might get run. I might be giving it short shrift. I am imagining a deck I'll call Speed Mage, where you play as many cheap things as possible, as fast as possible, and maybe this buffs a cheap spell like Shooting Star enough to pack some punch, but you're paying 2 mana for a 1 mana minion just to get this extra punch, so it needs to be something more than just a fireball. (Also, I'm waiting for all the highlight reels where people play it and then their set-up spell, the way some rogues play double prep, or prep-coin.) Cosmic Anomaly https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/cosmic-anomaly/ Rating: High Comment: Evolved Kobold saw play. Granted that was in a very specific deck that can no longer exist. But I think there's a place for a +2 spell damage minion with stats that aren't god-awful. Plus it's an elemental. Luna's Pocket Galaxy https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/lunas-pocket-galaxy/ Rating: High Comment: This card could be a total flop, but I think it's going to have a place. Get this out, play Stargazer Luna, and play a crap-ton of cards. A variant on the "Speed Mage" I mentioned earlier, except that this is going to be more of a spiteful mage, I guess. Meteorologist https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/meteorologist/ Rating: Medium Comment: Better than I was initially giving it credit for. 6 mana for a 3/3 means I'd want to be getting 6 or 7 missiles before I'd even think I'd be getting equity for the cost. But I can see that being a thing in a control deck. Great board clear against odd paladin reloads, for instance, and maybe it's just pay 6 deal 9 in control matches. --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline <cite>azuarc posted [p:906331680] in Hearthston...
