Scholomance Academy Card Review #1 - Devolving Missiles, Lightning Bloom, Rattlegore, Shan'do Wildwalker, Troublemaker and more!
I’ll reply to both comments at once.
Goody Two-Shields Spellburst might be good in slow matchups. Against Tempo decks when you fight back and forth with minions, it will most likely die in a single hit. But against slower decks, they might not be able to pop DS AND clear it at the same time. But yeah, overall I think that it’s only a bonus, not the main point of the card. It’s like a 6/10 as a 3 mana 4/2 with DS, and I added +1 for the Spellburst.
I thought about the interaction between Broom and Glowfly Swarm / similar token-summoning cards in Druid, but I don’t think so. Decks running those are spell-heavy and most likely want to run Fungal Fortunes.

It seems really good, but the only thing I’m afraid of is that 4/2 with DS is not very good in a faster meta with lots of early minions. Like against the current DH, the card would be pretty weak – they would have a rather easy time clearing it off.
But it still looks like a very solid card, of course ๐

They are their own type of packs, but I’m not sure if they have guaranteed Legendary in the first 10 packs. I remember reading different people saying different things, and it’s a bit hard to say, because we didn’t have many Golden packs so far.

Wait, 136? It’s 135 in the official announcement: https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/news/23453343/announcing-scholomance-academy-hearthstone-s-newest-expansion
Maybe we’ll get an extra card like Zayle, Shadow Cloak from Rise of Shadows or something ๐

Sorry, added it ๐
Scholomance Academy Reveal Schedule - Reveal Season Starts on July 22
Happy to hear that. I’m actually writing a review for the first batch of cards ๐ Not sure if I will be able to keep up with every reveal (since reveal season is always super busy), but I’ll try my best to at least review some of them.
Patch 17.6 is Now Live - Previously Announced Constructed Changes, Lots of Battlegrounds Stuff!
Are you sure that you downloaded the patch? It sometimes comes out later on mobile devices.
I can disenchant cards for full Dust cost without a problem.

And you need a spell to activate its effect. The card would be totally broken if it was a Battlecry like Cobalt Spellskin.

Maybe the steps? Like click them in the right order for something to happen? We’ll see ๐
List of All Transfer Student Effects - New Free Epic Card
No, the game board you play on. Each expansion introduces a new board that looks different (with new clickables / cosmetics). Depending on which expansion’s board you play, the card has a different effect.

I bolded the Standard boards and left Wild-only with regular text.

Unless we won’t get more Legendary cards to compensate for that, because the exact rarity distribution is still unknown.
But yeah, it’s really cool that it will be easier to get all the cards.

Yep, that’s right. You won’t have to craft them separately for different classes.

Both of them at the same time ๐ E.g. Lightning Bloom counts as a Druid AND a Shaman card.

It’s not Furious Felfin’s card artwork – it’s a snapshot from the trailer (but yeah, he looks a bit weird in there).

They said that it’s a class that focuses on aggression, not an exclusively aggressive class.
Being aggressive also doesn’t mean full face Aggro. For example – look at the (pretty weak, but still) “Control” Demon Hunter builds with Magtheridon. They take a more Control approach, playing reactively etc. but are still very aggressive. Some Combo decks might also be aggressive. Token / Midrange builds might also be aggressive.
Not to mention that they already have some support for Big Demons (e.g. Pit Commander), which are definitely not Aggro cards. DH can get mostly faster cards, but also some support for slower builds here and there.
In my opinion, Aggro / Tempo should be the “basic” way to play DH, but there should be other options available at one point.
Hearthstone Designer Alec Dawson on the Upcomig Nerf Patch
What do you mean? Alec said that they plan to push for other (non-Aggro/Tempo) DH archetypes in the future – so they plan to release e.g. more Token or Control support for Demon Hunter.
Tavern Brawl - Decks Assemble!
There’s a log of Brawls on HS gamepedia: https://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Tavern_Brawl
This one happened a year ago ๐ I’ve updated the post with that info.
Paladin is in a pretty bad state right now, so having a few strong cards won’t likely lead to the nerf. Unless the expansion is full of those, but we’ll have to wait & see ๐
Freshman – it would definitely get nerfed if it was Neutral, but I just can’t see it in Priest, other than some kind of Midrange/Tempo deck (and those were always pretty bad). And I mean, the class had Northshire Cleric for years, which was much stronger than Freshman. “Broken” 1-drops aren’t really that big of a problem in Priest.
