Love the new reveals. Loving the Godhammer in particular.

:heart:

Unrevealed cards were rather … underwhelming. Lottery Grimes? The expansion in total though looks quite solid.

Bolder Breacher, hello you. We are going to become good friends here really soon.

Iceshatter Gauntlet and Godhammer look very interesting, I also like Wind Striker’s design, not sure if it will see play though.

All of these cards look sick, Blood Echoes is going to revolutionize the Mega Sarlac deck

blood of echoes, OMG

Godhammer looks pretty damn good imho.

Some very interesting cards… I really like the set that Magmar got this expansion. Godhammer looks reaaly solid (and fun!) at first glance, we’ll see though.

Abyssian is my least played faction, but I’m getting really hyped to try to build a sick NecroNysts deck
Also Hammer makes my mechhorn deck happy…almost too happy

It is interesting, but is it good? Think about it, how many minions are normally left on board for your next turn in this fast meta. Not many if any, and that is when they will get the +1/+1. I suppose you can make some sort of swarm magmar to take advantage but it still will not be amazing.

I just realized we still didn’t get the magmaster… and no magmarcanysts either!

Grimes seems like another dice roll. Other cards look pretty interesting on the other hand, especially boulder breacher. The artifacts in this expansion are all pretty niche, which is better than just raw power. I do fear, however, that magmar may end up being the strongest faction, since their share of cards are all solid by themselves, not necessarily needing to take advantage of bond, unlike the other factions.

need to make a RNG deck with grimes

war blade looks like they threw war surge on a golem, considering both cost the same, it actually looks decent.

wind striker looks really bad = 2 mana for the artifact + 1 mana silverguard squire + 1 mana flying
it might see some play in bufftruvian decks?

blood echoes? NECROBYSSIAN SHALL RISE

god hammer? 1 mana artifact that comboes well with anything on board AND combos with moloki huntress? growmar is starting to look much better

iceshatter gauntlet is definitely going in my artivanar deck. coldbiter+winterblade just got a new combo piece. wait a minute, INSTANTLY?? does this mean if a minion is stunned, you can freely attack it without counterattacks? i need to know

loreweaver? looks like a solid arcanyst. its inconsitent but its card draw and you can always just replace the second spell

the boulder looks awesome with electric sparks. the boulder looks like a staple for golem decks.

Excellent cards, from new cards i like LoreWeaver and GodHammer.

Anyone else notice that death knell now only pulls non-token arcanysts? I wonder if you’re actually going to be able to play enough arcanysts for it to be that strong now. How does it work with arcanysts that died and were resummoned, and then died again? Are they pulled twice?

i believe wind striker is for support to artifact vet. I wouldnt say strong but it synergizes well with the concept. If opposing general doesnt die from your auroras tears combo, you can use the body + second wish to delivery the final blow. Its sounds a bit good on paper :smiley:

to add to this. Do burnt arcanyst cards count as being destroyed?
