I absolutely love your reviews man. Instead of rating a card and saying wether it's good or bad, you talk about what it can do and what are the positive and negative. This is how cards should be reviewed.
There are a few decks I'm excited for. I'll play some Imp Warlock, maybe some Dude Paladin, then Celestial Druid will rise to the top again and I'll wonder why I bothered playing.
Then they will nerf it after a couple of weeks. balance team has been really constant with nerfs, you have to keep in mind that it is a bad idea to nerf just before the expac.
@@miaikel Nerfing before the expansion is a bad idea, I agree, but the balance team also has a track record of nerfing cards that aren't the main concern. Example: All the changes to the most recent Quest Warlock. They nerfed everything around the Quest that wasn't the Quest, hoping it would fix the Quest, but everything around it wasn't the problem, it was the fact that the Quest enabled all of these cards to be incredibly dumb. It got to the point where they had to nerf then BAN Stealer of Souls. (Rightfully so.) They were not willing to see that the quest was the issue, even when they were told. They changed it eventually, but that deck was a menace. They've nerfed Alignment once, but making it cost one more isn't really a nerf with all the Ramp that Druid has, it's the fact that it causes such a disparity between the Druid and the opponent. (Whom we're assuming is not a Druid.) Druid plays Alignment, then plays Anacondra + Nourish for Mana + Guff + Jerry Rig + Split Nourish for Mana + Split Nourish for cards + Miracle Growth for cards and big dude, Etc. until the rope burns out, and now suddenly the Druid is at 8 mana crystals and has a threatening board the SAME TURN THEY CAST ALIGNMENT! Deal with all that with the one mana you have. Even if you Twisting Nether, they'll build the same board next turn, because they have 9 mana next turn, you'll have two. The problem with these kinds of decks is that the Meta devolves into a 2 Deck Game. This nonsense vs. Hyper Aggressive decks that can manage to kill the Alignment Druid before they cast Alignment, or put them under enough pressure so they can't cast Alignment without dying. I hope the Balance team can see that Alignment is not healthy for the game, but I wont hold my breath. Druid looks terrifyingly strong in this new Expansion, and I hope I'm wrong, but Druid has three cards that are ridiculously strong going in.
In my opinion the hearthstone team should never let minions become 0. They should go back to making things cost 1 instead of 0. The new druid build is absolutely overpowered.
I'm actually wondering if some of the Demon Hunter shuffle cards might see play when you're running builds with Caria and Zihilag as your only demon. I've had a ton of games where I draw Zihilag before Caria, which makes Caria pretty awful, especially when they're both in your hand at the same time. Being able to shuffle Zihilag back in to turn Caria back on line seems pretty helpful.
I like that the cards are in the sort of flavor I would expect from Artifacts from MTG but with their own spin on it to keep games flowing quickly by giving them limited uses. Perhaps in a sequel expansion we will see cards that "Resurrect" location cards that you used in some way?
Given what I saw in the theorycrafting streams, I think you're underestimating just how powerful Convoke can be. It's not powerful like how similar spells in Mage were, but it's still powerful.
I'm a sucker for linear archetypes (my favorite decks have been Jade Druid, Libram Paladin and Quest Hunter :Y), so I'll probably try to make Relic DH a thing.
Parasitic packages are necessary because has a relatively shallow design space. I prefer it over the 100th permutation of battlecry/ deathrattly/ spell class archetype
Casino Mage meet Casino Druid. Only with Casino Mage they are limited by the cost of the spells. Druid is getting 8...(doesn't matter the cost) spells. They can either be super good... or it could be a random celestial alignment. Either way druids Casino just demolished mages
Celestial Alignment is one of the best outcomes of that spell. One of the weaknesses of Alignment is that it takes your entire turn. The fact that you get to do potentially 7 other things alongside Alignment, including ramp and making a board, makes it super strong. There's a simulator of Convoke the Spirits outcomes and on average its pretty strong.
Kryxis sounds interesting in Wild, I don't think there's much targeted discard effects running around so playing him and getting out a Silverware Golem sitting in your hand or whatever sounds pretty fun.

Sinful Brand scares me. It just feels like something that'll break at some point and people will not be happy over it.
+Denathrius is lol death for sure
Kibler reviews are my favourite - could listen to this glorious man talking for hours
Love the insight, I’ve been watching people review the cards as they come out but not as a whole set yet. Keep up the great content
These videos are the best! So glad they're back.

Pure Paladin will be cool aswell

Kibler review series coming up? We're eating good tonight, boys.
let's take a moment to appreciate the naming of these Druid cards: 'Planted Evidence', 'Natural Causes'... that's awesome!

if u want to just pay the cosst for cards then play arena i guess

This video was a pleasure to watch :)
I hope relics get realisticly draftable in arena.
Loved drafting jades when it worked out.
This is all that i hoped for
I'm excited for the paladin review. I'm sure he's excited to play dude paladin again

Can some one please tell Me when the castle nathrea miniset comes out I got my gold ready
20:00 for druid
Do we just play Kryxis is deathrattle dh? Getting him off blackthorn is insane.
Given what I saw in the theorycrafting streams, I think you're underestimating just how powerful Convoke can be. It's not powerful like how similar spells in Mage were, but it's still powerful.
I don't understand, the relics don't have any of the keywords on them?

sinful brand + stheno + kurtrus hero power is spooky
Relics are hot sh*t, but I think that deathrattle dh will return and it'll be very good
Finally!
I feel like most Convoke the Spirits plays are gonna be "summon three treants buff your opponent's minions for 12/12 draw 3"
19:22 relic decks arn't aggro, their tempo.
Casino Mage meet Casino Druid.
Only with Casino Mage they are limited by the cost of the spells.
Druid is getting 8...(doesn't matter the cost) spells. They can either be super good... or it could be a random celestial alignment.
Either way druids Casino just demolished mages

I want your review for Warlock and Priest.
26:47 this card sucks most of the time but its got a 1/20 chance to ruin someones day
Kryxis sounds interesting in Wild, I don't think there's much targeted discard effects running around so playing him and getting out a Silverware Golem sitting in your hand or whatever sounds pretty fun.
Kryxis is a demon hunter card :O
@@Venezuela386 Oh snap I thought he was neutral lol.
locations seem to further push HS in a direction where each player plays with themselves and makes the game more noninteractive
druid is going to be busted this set if they don't get rid of that damn hero that gives them 20 mana and infinite draw
Anything that supports Celestial Alignment more just makes me sad.
Sinful Brand - 1 Mana cost, use another 7 cost card, deal 14 damage to enemy hero if they have minion with 7 or more health
expendable preformers is not in standard
Enchantments...huh...lol
