Silvermoon Portal? I'm sorry but that is simply a pathetic excuse for a card. There is one specific alternative if you're looking for +2/+2...

I'm going to play Purify Priest.

cloaked hunter->lock and load-> 3424234234 secrets gg wp edit: nice shirt kripp

THERE'S ONLY ONE SECRET IN THE ENTIRE SET HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEED MY FAMILY?

First Direct powercreep over class card? WRONG. Let me prove that to you: Druid's Recycle

No brother for me... I'm not even mad, I'm just disappointed...

Guys,i lost to priest today :( my soul is crushed

I am gonna be triggered if they don't nerf Purify

I get it... I'm so meta breaking I need my own video :')

I think that this expansion might be the worst ever made

Moat lurker doesn't say enemy minion. So for example if you use it to kill your own Sylvanas you get the mindcontrol and a new sylvanas when lurker dies, amirite? Amiwrong?

cloaked huntress will make lock and load insane

Priest Card: 3 mana 5/5 Heal all enemy characters by 3.

Arcane Giant in Yogg decks PogChamp

god, i cant wait for EVEN MORE priest memes!!

I'm calling it now, the card Kripp is most wrong about is Violet Illusionist. That things going to be enormous. Especially in Warlock.

I can smell the yogg and violet illusionist combo.

avian watcher is bonkers with ice block

I think I will creat a yogg shaman with bloodmage thalno and malygos... hope it will work :D

First time we see direct power creep over a class card? What? It's happened a bunch of times before, for example: Holy Smite -> Living Roots Mark of the Wild -> Mark of Y'Shaarj

Kripp :"It is the first time in Hearthstone, that there is a power creep over a classcard." Entomb : shuffle an enemy minion into YOUR deck. Recycle : shuffle an enemy minion into YOUR OPPONENT's deck.

Moat lurker can be INSANE in N'Zoth decks if you target your own deathrattle minion, as the minion you target will trigger the deathratle twice, will revive twice, and this minion will revive as well. I'm uncertain if when brought back and re-killed will summon the minion again, but even if it doesn't, it will still be amazing instead of simply broken. I guess we'll have to see.

Moat Lurker Sylvanas. Sylvanas steals it now when you kill it do you get the Sylvanas?

Does Violet Illusionist and that weapon that has unlimied attacks work?

I love how I can rely on you to put out vids at noon most days. It's something I look forward to with lunch 😄

When you said "this is the first time we've seen direct power creep over a class card" ...did you forget about Dark Bomb -> Quick Shot, Kripp? :)

Um Kripp? Have you thought about the rotation AT ALL? Aggro Shaman will be DEAD after BRM, TGT, and LOE rotate out. Shaman will have to figure out how to use these slower cards just to survive. Try looking a bit further ahead in your next review.

Hey I'm pretty fast today

Cloaked Huntress: "Batshit crazy, will spawn new hunter archetype" See you in three months on a highlight reel Kripp.

People always seem to underestimate cards that draw you cards. It makes your deck much more consistent and lets you cycle to what you want. I think the Runic Egg is very good in something like Warrior. If the enemy removes it, you get a 1 mana cycle. If he doesn't, the egg is a threat in terms of Battle Rage value. I think it's one of the more underrated cards in the set.

tldr: One Night In Karazhan cards basically all suck. Don't use real money to buy.

No new trigger word = not exciting :/

Step 1: Turn one Spirit Claws Step 2: Turn two Kobold Geomancer Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit Edit: See also Step 1: Moat Lurker Step 2: Use best card in this set (Purify) Step 3: ?? Step 4: Profit

First power creep of class cards was Quick Shot over Dark Bomb.

Strictly better does not equal power creep.

On the topic of Arcane Explosion, Kobolt Geomancer and Arcane Explosion was an amazing combo in the Two-Card Tavern Brawl.

Regarding Maelstrom portal, it's not the first time there's a powercreep between two classes, Recycle for Druid and Entomb for Priest.

THIS IS HOW PURIFY COULD WORK IN THE UNICORN PRIEST DECK Turn 7: Arcanosmith, purify on the 0/5, opponent emotes you and doesn't attack it Turn 8: Divine spirit; divine spirit, inner fire, shield master, you now have a 20/20 with taunt

The ball is between Blizzard's hands and the floor. Blizzard has dropped the ball.

Maelstrom Portal isn't the first time seeing power creed over other class cards! Quickshot is strictly better than dark bomb.

I think Violet Illusionist is why they nerfed Master of Disguise. Imagine how insane that'd be in rogue. You'd have 1 damage gladiator's longbow every turn and ignore fatigue damage.

Turn 5: Cloaked Huntress. Lock and Load. 5 Hunter Secrets. Super value, guys.

Huntard VS Huntard: H1 plays Cat Trick, H2 plays Animal Compadre, summons Huffer, H1 summons Cat Trick, they trade... maybe. Rekt, giggity.

I have a feeling Blizzard is trying to make Secret Eater Valid.

Swashburgler being a battle cry is also good for a deathrattle + steal class cards deck. Because Huckster is a deathrattle on a 2/2, you're happy to pull it with nzoth, but a 1/1 you wouldn't want to pull (since your deck should be saturated enough with high-value deathrattle minions)

Genuinely curious, why the negativity of Nightbane templar, I mean it adds more minions to the board follows the paladin's curve on four and you get 4/5 for three mana. It allows paladin to confidently flood the board which they never could do after standard's rotation. It significantly helps out dragon paladin.

3:37 Officially my favourite card art in hearthstone

Kripp didn't say it, but here is what I thought based on several cards in this set. Eater of Secrets and Flare will become playable and probably needed once this expansion comes out.

Regarding the Maelstrom Portal power creep, we sort of saw this in reverse with Dark Bomb and Frost Bolt.

"there are arenas where I don't have spells" "Mages have around 2 secrets in arena" GG Kripp GG.

What if blizzard is telling us something. What if unicorn priest is shadow-priest with murlocs, beasts and dragons? What if they created *Moat lurker* so you would get *8 mana 3/3- "destroy a minion, draw a card"*? What if *Violet illusionist* is for *spawn of shadows*? What if they gave us* priest of the feast* so shadow-priest can survive?

Talking about my expansion is making me so happy!

Violet illusionist and the new warrior weapon that lets you attack unlimited times/turn seems like a pretty powerful combo

Moat lurker has interesting applications. Can save your important minions from board clears/removal. Or can save your whole (probably frozen) board from a freeze mage doomsayer.

When he talked about power creep relative to class spells, just wanted to point this out: (Frostbolt != Quick Shot) >> Darkbomb

The interesting thing about Moat Lurker is that it gets rid of all buffs on the minion it destroys. Kind of like a delayed silence.

Totally making a Yogg-Control-Secret-Hunter with Cloaked Huntress, Avian Watcher and Arcane Giants.

Eater of Secrets might see some play after the expansion.

I'll be waiting on the day Kripp plays someone who gets Flamewreathed Faceless out of their Ironforge Portal. That would be a neat video.

I'm not going to be able to resist the urge to play Secret Yogg Hunter.

Actually, frostbolt and quickshot are powercreeps of dark bomb, even if darkbomb was after frostbolt. My point: it's not the first time that we see powercreeps in class cards

I feel that Violet Illusionist will see some good play with Weapon Warrior, Fatigue Warrior, and some Warlock decks. Also, Moat Lurker could have some fun (e.g. Protecting a special minion)

I guess that priest sure isn't getting a museum curator this expansion..

About your purify; I think Blizzard has got a plan. You're seeing it in some other cards they released. Look at the Moat Lurker. If you combine it with the silence effect from the purify card, you're getting a very valuable combo that you can pull off with the only prerequisite being having both cards in your hands. Considering Assassinate costs 5 mana, this card combo becomes Assassinate + 3 mana 3/3 battlecry draw a card. Compared to the gnomish inventor's 4 mana 2/4 battlecry draw a card, it's slightly stronger. This also has a tendency to trade better into other 3 drops, unlike Gnomish which will die to 4/3 s. It seems like they're trying to push a self-silence meta for priest. Maybe we'll see a return of wailing soul in wild. We've actually seen self-silence decks in the past, although they didn't really take off.

I think Medivh's valet is specifically for the chinese players that like using ice block in tempo mage. I think nightbane templar will be amazing for dragon decks when they finally wise up and make cards that boost dragons once they are in play. No, not the menagerie ones.

That Thief card has guaranteed that I'll get Karazhan.

17:22 great synergy with 3/4 for 5 mana warrior weapon

The powercreep over a classcard i totally wrong - Revenge from Warrior was released earlier and is also obviously stonger than arcane explosion aswell

nightbane templar is 3 mana for 4/5 distributed over multiple minions, I think it's pretty good lol. This is a game that was dominated for months by muster for battle and this card is essentially muster but it trades the light's justice for divine strength.

Quick Shot was a direct power creep over an already used and almost auto include card. Arcane Explosion was rarely used anyway.

Lock and Load Hunter is going to be insane in the membrane. Moat Lurker + Shadow caster combo = fun times

the minion Pantry Spider summons is also a 3 mana cost minion, so it could possibly give evolve shaman a boost

The good thing about Priest of the Feast is that aggro really cant ignore something like that, especially shaman.

what we learnt: priest is getting shit on LOL

It's lovely how classes that are already healthy and performing well get cards that make them better and add diversity... while priest is on life-support at best and your only chance at something other than Dragon Priest or N'zoth (wild) is Reno.... but man... gotta say, losing to priest is soul-crushing. Maybe that's what Brode meant by unicorn priest.... never to be seen and doesn't exist.

Violet illusionist+Spawn of Shadows makes certain priest decks that use spells to deal damage to heroes more appealing.

Secret hunter. It begins.

They might give Purify as a reward at the Prologue and add this title when you get the card:"Ohh didn't you pay for the adventure? WE GOT EXACTLY THE CARD YOU WERE LOOKING FOR! (now you can imagine ben brode bursting with a cruel laugh )

I like how even though they power creeped over arcane explosion, they actually got the rarities right with it. Arcane explosion is a common, and maelstrom portal is a rare. Too bad they had to screw up more rarities than they got right...

I think Arcane Anomaly (15:27) might actually kind of sort of a little work in Priest in Arena. If you happen to go second and play this, Coin and PW:Shield, you'll have a 2/5 on turn 1 with the potential to get even bigger. Then again, Priest got Purify...

14:20 "First time we see direct power creep over class cards." How about Frostbolt/Quick Shot to Darkbomb? And Living Roots to Arcane Shot/Holy smite? There's already a few power creeps over class cards

You can't say it's powercreep if a different class gets the same spell but better. Mages can do 1 dmg with their heropower; that's why this spell in mage would be too strong but in shaman its fine(i hope).

Kripp the shaman portal is not the first power creep on a class card, Quick Shot creeped over dark bomb and there are several in just the basic set such as fireball and mortal strike

Un-veil. When you bring a baby deer back to life.

The way how Blizzard is buffing Priest for noob players, He is going to be absolutely busted (even more then now). Well, face the light babies. Face the light and die!

First time we've seen power creep over class cards? Ring ring, Bash called, he can't stop laughing at Drain Life.

14:01 Dark Bomb vs. Quick Shot, Holy Smite vs. Living Roots

Maelstrom Portal isn't the first powercreep found in class cards, unless you literally mean its "power". Fireball is a better Mortal Strike. While not "stronger", it is more consistent.

I think you undersold violet illusionist, seeing as the meta is dominated by aggro, weapon decks that run this will be much more favored vs aggro, because not only can you facetank a high attack minion, but then aggro has to spend damage killing a minion instead of you. I think this is an important card to look at with regards to control warrior vs any aggro, and even more important to look at the viability of control rogue increasing because of this card.

We've seen also a anti-powercreep before though! Frostbolt ---> Darkbomb

Silver moon portal, I can see the doomsayer spawn clips now.

Power creep over a class card has happened even in classic: Mortal Strike is an inferior Fireball.

To be honest. Maelstrom Portal might enable Midrange/Control Shaman. Shaman boardclears are usually too expensive to Combo with Halazeal. and this one could maybe do some serious work with Azure Drakes and a spell dmg totem here and there

What's wrong with purify? It's a 2 mana, draw a card that could target a minion which already has no effects, or it could target that 4/5 2 mana defender. It could also silence that big guy that makes your minions cost more. It could silence that 4/4 3 mana sword that draws your opponent a card on death. It could silence Zombie Chow or Corrupted Healbot. The best part is, you get the extra reward of drawing a card as well as silencing abilities that give your opponent the advantage. Other silence cards don't give the draw. It could even silence Majordomo if you somehow get him. I think it's good in a lot of situations.

Blizzard Hearthstone Master Design Doc: "Summon a random minion."

Priest of the Feast seems like a great card to me, same stats as water elemental and that is a really good card. And think about how many spells the average priest deck runs, its a lot, so you have potential for great value with the heals.

y buy one night in karazhan when u could buy one night in meee?

Imagine if Onyx Bishop read "DISCOVER a friendly minion that died this game". Not actually play it, which is a loss of tempo, but allowing you to pick the card you want could be good. Edit: Or just "Discover a friendly minion that died this game. then summon it."
