Bloodreaver gul`dan its a card only for wild in my opinion , where you have very strong demons like malganis who you can summon by voidcaller, and also you could use kaza/krul and RENO too. I once tryed out this deck and its works! , i managed to climb from rank 20 to 4 only using it, and adding this card + the new 5 mana demon ll make the deck even better.
The 1 mana skeletons are actually quite good for combo starter. You don't fill your deck with low cost as it will give you 2 for free, and 5 Mana 5/5 is not bad on curve
I think people are underestimating toxic arrow over arcane shot for the simple fact hunter often floats mana with it and it's used in conjunction with minions attacking...where're the minion would die anyways. So I feel it's worth wayyyyy more.
Not to say it's good, but you missed the important fact that Death Revenant doesn't look at friendly damaged minion, but at damaged minion period, so the comparison to battle rage and Frostwolf warlord is not correct. That said, yes if there is multiple damaged minions on the opponent's side and you play this, i can't imagine this going well. But it will be easier to get it to be big actually, thought i'd mention this.
One redeemable quality about Strongshell Scavenger is that it is a minion. When I play a bolster taunt warrior deck, more often than not, Bolster ends up being a dead card. 2/3 body > nothing in the late game draw of control vs control
Ev_olution theres an app called wallpaper engine on steam that lets you have the coolest wallpapers ever and are gifs, some even come with background music. And theres a Similar Lich king Wallpaper in there. Try to google Wallpaper engine Lich King and see what can you find
With bone baron why not run the guy who gives 2 1/2 elementals instead? Hes cheeper has the elemental tag gives you cards with better stats the the baron does and the 1/2s also have the elemental tag
Yeah, they synergize. It might be a combo or it might not be. If taunt druid is a deck, it will probably run this combo though it might cut out spreading plague. Only time will tell.
interesting note: gnash is actually the same value as claw + hero power, the only time gnash would be better than claw is when you already used your hero power and have at least three mana left
Zom if you give the wild pyromancer poison with the adapt paladin spell, it deals 1 damage to everything and kills everything. Poison on Baron Geddon would have the same effect (I know it seems wrong, but it's legit)
Peter Kotula it probably wouldn't be efficient. If your opponent has a full board and you were about to lose, maybe. But spending 9 mana for a board clear and a 7/1 isn't very good
Couldn't you combo Death knight Garrosh, his hero power with King Mosh? I know you can do that with Whirlwind. But now that it becomes his permanent hero power you don't have to run the whirlwinds and you don't have to hold the whirlwinds and king mosh in your hand at all times.
Хуйй Эвд I do see the problem in that. But with the hero power as long as you're not fighting say something like agro and you're fighting another control deck you could hero power, Taunt and then next turn King mosh.
Guys is it just me or does this expansion seem pretty boring? The death knights aren't all that much fun in comparison to other expansions. Sure some are strong with stats and omg you get a card that has value, but how boring the neutral cards are too is sad. Strong, but no fun. The closest thing that is 'fun' being the Warlock card that discards an enemy card. Tell me if I'm wrong. Edit: Rip Quest Warlock still
Bloatbat “what were they thinking?!”. It’s pretty clear they were thinking “let’s create a card for build-a-beast that can essentially poison everything”, while realising they had to keep such a powerful effect in check with a high mana cost... like quite a few collectible cards it’s not meant to be played on its own, but exists for such interesting situations to occur outside of your starting deck
I watched this live on Twitch, and let me say... Jens is a fucking wizard. It was not fun to watch live. On youtube, it's tidy and even makes it seem like Trump has a clear idea of what he's talking about. On stream, it's mostly silence.
Toxic arrow I feel should be deal 2 damage and deal 1 damage to it every turn. Just another alternative. And surely with the name and all the freeze pushing the snowfury giant should be for each character frozen?? Would give more incentive to play avalanche too.
Because they won't , in the long run. At least at high levels of ladder. Like no one is going to be playing enrage warrior at ranks 5+ with the current cards we have for that archetype. The mana costs aren't low enough to push it when we have stuff like pirates. Similar arguments for other interesting ideas they've promoted.
Im so disappointed seeing all those useless cards and just thinking bout those ratings where 3/4 of cards get 1-2 stars but they completely deserve it sigh .. What makes me more sad is the thing that I completely can't notice the card which definitely will see play unlike I was sure about Tar Creeper before :( I won't even remind about getting all those shjtty specific cards in arena ;_;
Side note: this minion could work. Since next turn is turn six where you could taunt these two 1/1 skeletons and give them + 1/1 making them 2/2 with taunt thanks to defender of argus.
Lol, Trump actually thinks Bladestorm was meant for the opponent's board? He dumps on a lot of cards, but we all know he'll be playing all the bad meme decks (Renounce Darkness?) Watch Amaz's upcoming ranking videos to see what "bad" cards will be the nuts in Arena. He's not stuck on comparing future innovative Competitive Standard meta decks to the established meta at the end of its life.
Bloodreaver Gul'dan is too weak because the pool of available demons is awful. Only 15 atm and 17 when the set hits and all but 3 of them have an innate draw back. 4 of them are 1 mana, another 4 are discard engines, yet 4 more will burn you on summon, and 1 is jaraxxus who wont be dying on the board. That's 13 out of 17 which can hamper your ability to play a large tempo swinging card. Your best bet is to use kruul to avoid the discard mechanic. But then you rely on random demon generating cards which carry the risk of instantly loosing you the game. Unlicensed apothocary will deal you 5 damage for each other minion summoned to your board, including minions summoned at the same time as itself. It did this with kruul i doubt blizz will fix it for Bloodreaver. Even if you kill it off before it kills you the first time Bloodreaver will almost guarantee your death on activation. Warlock is rarely over 20 hp thanks to life tap and hp burning effects like hellfire and felfire that are necessary to control the board. So just 4 minions will take you down to 5 hp. This card is only good is wild where warlock has access to its better demons.
Auctioneer into counterfeit coin x2 into prep evis prep evis into backstab backstab maybe coin if you've got it into whatever 1 mana spell then spectral pillager face! OP 19 damage combo!!111 :D... or just play other better cards at the end of that like van cleef :P
I think Death Revenant might be worth a little more than what credit it's being given. Basically you can combo it with a whirlwind effect to get +1/+1 for every surviving minion, even the opponents. Hitting 3 minions wouldn't be that difficult imo. Maybe it would make a nice tech card against a board-heavy midrange meta or even in Taunt Warrior.
"4 mana 8/8.... that's not too bad." I like watching your reveal/reviews, but sometimes I wonder what kind of power creep you're always hoping for in each expansion.
Dark conviction with devilsaur egg... 5mana 8/8 and good vs aoe and brawl. Ill take that. Finally a really good way to trigger the eggs yourself and deal some damage as well. With 1/4 buffs not so good, since it was only 1 damage.
"4 mana 8/8... not too bad"

I think Scourgelord Garrosh works with the quest. You get three distinct stages, first you taunt and armor up, then board clear, then finish.
No comment on the fake dual-wielding leak, Trump? :p
Obsidian Shard seems pretty good with doomerang, since you could play it right away if you've reduced the cost
best part about doomerang is that it allows us to see atiesh and lights justice in card form
coopawesome and ashbringer
Yup, that's what I meant. Thanks
I think people are underestimating toxic arrow over arcane shot for the simple fact hunter often floats mana with it and it's used in conjunction with minions attacking...where're the minion would die anyways. So I feel it's worth wayyyyy more.
After watching the stream I think we all need a moment of silence to respect Jens. Because this editing job had to be a year's work.
If doomerang could be played as an interrupt to weapon destruction... maybe as a secret that triggers when the weapon is destroyed...
So many of the cards look like the artwork hasn't loaded...
That's because they were screenshotted from the live stream.
NOT AVAILBLE IN MY COUNTRY
ENGLAND IS MY CITY BTW
Dank Sans What isn't?
IS ENGLAND IN AMERICA?
The video
NO, IM NOT FROM COMPTON
Strongshell is interesting because it's a bolster that isn't a 100% dead card without a target
Trump can you try this Murloc Deck?:
0:
1: 2 Grimscale Oracle, 2 Hungry Crab , 1 Unite the Murlocs, 1 Youngful Brewmaster
2: 2 Bliefin Tidehunter, 2 Ice Fishing, 2 Murloc Tidehunter, 2 Primalfin Totem
3: 2 Coldlight Seer, 2 Murloc Warleader, 2 Primalfin lookout
4: 2 Call the Finishers, 2 Gentle Megasaur
5: 1 Cobalt Scalebane, 1 Finja, The Flying Star
6:
7: 1 Curator, 2 Sated Threshadon
8:
9: 1 Ysera
10:
"Debuff" - not a word. And check out that 8 mana warrior weapon.
5:54
Blizzard, have you ever heard these words before?
Make cards go beyond...
*PLUS*
*ULTRAAAA*

Not really feeling this set tbh bit underwhelming bar a few cards any predictions for this meta?
One redeemable quality about Strongshell Scavenger is that it is a minion. When I play a bolster taunt warrior deck, more often than not, Bolster ends up being a dead card. 2/3 body > nothing in the late game draw of control vs control
Is there a way to download the background used in this video as a gif?
(Asking as a favor for my desktop)
Also description says Bloodreaver Gul'dam
Ev_olution theres an app called wallpaper engine on steam that lets you have the coolest wallpapers ever and are gifs, some even come with background music.
And theres a Similar Lich king Wallpaper in there. Try to google Wallpaper engine Lich King and see what can you find
I can't find the specific one used here though. The description links to a still image of it, but I can't find an animated version

It's not the same but it's decent too imo.
kanaru92.deviantart.com/art/The-Lich-King-130772161
i would love to play this game again if it wasnt because its so expensive to get a decent deck
Will there be a full rating of the entire set?
Ah, the man they keep talking about in the news, hi Forsenlol!
Tempo warrior is back baby
YOU SAID WARRIOR WAS GETTING DUAL WIELD, YOU LIED
GuitarJK1988 no it'll override the weapon you have equipped and like trump said the hero power is trash.
also 05:53 *PLUUUUUUUS UUUULTRAAAA*
After watching this live all I can say is: GIVE JENS A BONUS :rage:
he looks at the camera a lot now..... *blushes*
Can s1 explain to me why all the new art is this blurry in the vids?
Datamined?
Does Jens play HS?
Control Warlock strong again?
I DEMAND MORE CAPS
That troll about the warrior death knight
Skeletons, a means to finish quest rogue without needing to be super bouncy oriented?
Gnash rhymes with bash it's no coincidence :^)
With bone baron why not run the guy who gives 2 1/2 elementals instead? Hes cheeper has the elemental tag gives you cards with better stats the the baron does and the 1/2s also have the elemental tag
Stronghold Scavenger
What happened to that dual weilding weapons-Garrosh *cough* *cough*
Wtf is the resolution on the exploading bloatbat
damn not a single good card in the entire set
Go Beyond Plus Ultra!
5:52 Plus ultra? nah, PLUS ULTIMA!!
LET ME GO TO SLEEP JENS!!!1
It's 3:30 am :(
Sleep is entirely unscientific and therefore you should disregard it.
Aleks this is an intervention. Go to bed.
Meth head Aleks cyka brother
tell normal aleks to upload
Wouldn't Spreading Plague work very well with strongshell...?
That's a 9 mana combo
Chronoz0 Seeing how protect the king and bolster isn't that good yeah that's not gonna be viable
Yeah, they synergize. It might be a combo or it might not be. If taunt druid is a deck, it will probably run this combo though it might cut out spreading plague. Only time will tell.
Oh shit waddup
Sure, if you have 9 mana, and want to waste a slot on a halfway decent 9 mana "combo"
Trump you told us that the warrior DK card had dual wield, explain yourself *babyrage*
I was just thinking the same thing.
PRANK'D!
Blizz changed the card last second to save face.
Jebaited
Lethal Pigeon
Meaning... Trump MADE THE CARD WORSE!!!!
interesting note: gnash is actually the same value as claw + hero power, the only time gnash would be better than claw is when you already used your hero power and have at least three mana left
Toxic arrow + Baron Geddon = board clear turn 9 for hunter
Peter Kotula that's bloody brilliant
Peter Kotula Barons damage isnt direct tho. Poisonous only connects if the damage is thru contact
Zom if you give the wild pyromancer poison with the adapt paladin spell, it deals 1 damage to everything and kills everything. Poison on Baron Geddon would have the same effect (I know it seems wrong, but it's legit)
Zom that's where you're wrong, kiddo
Peter Kotula it probably wouldn't be efficient. If your opponent has a full board and you were about to lose, maybe. But spending 9 mana for a board clear and a 7/1 isn't very good
PLUS ULTRA!!!
Sorry, I just had to.
Dissapointed that there's no Lord Morrowgar legendary - Battlecry: Deal 50 whirlwind damage to all minions and heroes. My dream is over.
Ras Kam No Lady Deathwhisper either
Couldn't you combo Death knight Garrosh, his hero power with King Mosh? I know you can do that with Whirlwind. But now that it becomes his permanent hero power you don't have to run the whirlwinds and you don't have to hold the whirlwinds and king mosh in your hand at all times.
Derpy Muffinz 9+2=11
Trump doesnt see the potential in this hero power, which if he watched the stream, he wouldve.
Хуйй Эвд I do see the problem in that. But with the hero power as long as you're not fighting say something like agro and you're fighting another control deck you could hero power, Taunt and then next turn King mosh.
6:33 A huge incredible finisher on the face...Kappa
2018 trump sayed guldan, 1st look? Dust, but then i realized....
2019 still domonating the meta untill it rotates out
where's the dual wielding? :(
How about playing the Garrosh and then compliting your quest, so you have a good weapon ans heropower
now imagine a zombeast which combines exploding bloatbat with stubborn gastropod...
Trump fibbed about warrior
Guys is it just me or does this expansion seem pretty boring? The death knights aren't all that much fun in comparison to other expansions. Sure some are strong with stats and omg you get a card that has value, but how boring the neutral cards are too is sad. Strong, but no fun.

Hey player you might have heard these words before but let me show you what they really mean. Go value! PLUS ULTRAA
He doesn't seem to think a lot of cards will see play...
Blizzic yes every expansion only a hand full of cards see play
Because they won't , in the long run. At least at high levels of ladder. Like no one is going to be playing enrage warrior at ranks 5+ with the current cards we have for that archetype. The mana costs aren't low enough to push it when we have stuff like pirates.
Similar arguments for other interesting ideas they've promoted.
Blizzic each pack usually got like only 1-2 class cards in constructed
Very true, but he's been wrong before. All of the pros and streamers have been.
Blizzic i don`t know why, but he seems to hate every card in this expansions. If you want a neutral opiniom, go to another hearthstone channel.
Doomerang also effectively gives your weapon windfury - you could envenom a dagger and then kill 2 minions in one turn with it
Does Doomerang work with Frostmourne? So will I get the minion killed by Doomerang when I throw frostmourne?
How did you escape Blizzard jail
Discard is a broken mechanic, discarding your cards makes no sense. Discarding your opponents cards is less consequential
Hunter is the new meme class now. Lovely.
Jens, you should do a video of all the times trump messed up making these reviews ;)
so with all new cards you dont see a way druid can flood the board with taunts? rly? *cough* scarabs *cough*
5:53 PLUS ULTRA!
any boku no hero academia fans? :D
14:37
ScourageLord Garrish...
You make my heart hurt, Trump
Looks like there will be a lot of 1 Star cards this expansion...
11:42 First time I saw that card it was milled.
Plus Ultra!? I know what show Trump likes ;)
I just don't know about Spectral Pillager ...
Gul'Dan Hero at 12.44
My Hero Academia reference on Bone Baron. Much appreciated trump
I knew after watching the stream the green screen on his glasses would look weird.... Why u no listen trumpu :(
I've seen worse.
fairly underwhelmed with this set. Alot of the deathknight heroes are cool, most of the rest of the set sucks.
I mean.... You cant say the cards suck until you play the cards and see how the meta is.
agreed
when a lot of them are crappier versions of cards we already have, it leaves me with little hope, but who knows
Scourgelord Garrosh looks like he's getting his mugshot.
5:52 PLUUUUUUUUSSSSS UUUUULTRAAAAAA!
WHERE THE SHIT IS THE KING EXAMINE
And arfur?
This is just the class cards, the neutral cards will be in the next video I presume.
Im so disappointed seeing all those useless cards and just thinking bout those ratings where 3/4 of cards get 1-2 stars but they completely deserve it sigh .. What makes me more sad is the thing that I completely can't notice the card which definitely will see play unlike I was sure about Tar Creeper before :( I won't even remind about getting all those shjtty specific cards in arena ;_;
05:50 Reference to my hero academia. MHA references game is strong with trump.
Side note: this minion could work. Since next turn is turn six where you could taunt these two 1/1 skeletons and give them + 1/1 making them 2/2 with taunt thanks to defender of argus.
Wow. Jens really saved the mess that was this live stream.
what happened to duel yielding warrior?!?!?!?!?!

1/1 Spider (1mana) + Dinomancy (2mana) + HeroPower (2mana) + Toxic Arrow (2mana) = 3/1 Spider with Poisonous bby (7mana used)
I think Death Revenant might be worth a little more than what credit it's being given. Basically you can combo it with a whirlwind effect to get +1/+1 for every surviving minion, even the opponents. Hitting 3 minions wouldn't be that difficult imo. Maybe it would make a nice tech card against a board-heavy midrange meta or even in Taunt Warrior.

For supposedly one of the best expansions in wow these cards are super underwhelming
I miss gvg
I could hear the wind this time it was nice
