How cool is Winter’s Wake? I really love Wall Decks in Vanar and having this card is just wow. In conjunction with the new Artifact and Gravity Well… My body is ready.
All legendaries though, so kind of expensive.
Also Inquisitor Kron. Replacement decks are surely a bit gimmicky, but this can get interesting.
I’m stoked to try these!
I get where you’re coming from, but I actually do feel like you might want dancing blades or KotV over this in some decks (tempo decks like blades, no 2-drop mag likes keeper). Besides, in your scenario it might pay to run the alternatives as hollow grovekeeper becomes a staple. Also, we haven’t seen if there will be any more insane 5 drops coming, so I’m not so pessimistic. I do fear you might be right though.
But trying to predict the unpredictable is difficult. Let’s hope we’re wrong.
Love the gauntlet break down few reply in terms of gauntlet impactful cards. Well played
Finally! Finally I see that these characters belong animations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEkr5G80z-o
I can’t wait to make a entire mechazor without even needing to bring any parts 
I am so curious to see what the figure at 00:20 is going to be 0__0 https://youtu.be/GEkr5G80z-o?t=20s
That might actually possible if you are running Magmar with Nature Confluence and Hypnotoad. If they both pull Zor (4 in the 2x2 area and another one from hypnotoad’s OG), and all the Zors don’t get Alter Rex, than you could theoretically get a Mechazor without putting a single mech in your deck.
Either that or Khymera…
The card says: Put a random mech minion in your action bar. Since Mechazor itself is a mech minion, I assume it can be placed in your action bar as well.
Zor :pretty bad bad body for the price, slow because of dying wish, don’t necessarily gets you the mech piece you want (Rex :)) , battle pet so you won’t be able to control it and suicide it that easily (unless the pet AI is super aggressive).
Bad
Ironcliff Heart : I hate this card, that being said this card is very good , basically a 4 mana ironcliff with rush but needs a body to be casted, bloodtear which is already very good with holy immolation will combo very well with this card. The combo with DB could make this card OP, just because it is almost impossible to play around and will hit very hard . With the cost of DB being increased it might be OK , we will see.
Very good
Nature’s Confluence: Depends a lot on the battle pet but if we assume that they cost 2 in average then the card is very good , 8 mana worth of minions with airdrop (very relevant with battle pet) for 5, and 4 for 1 in term of card advantage !
Good to very good depending on battle pet
Arcane Devourer: CP give us fairly quickly a good way to use Blood taura , will see if it will be enough. The card is obviously very good in a big abyssian deck with spectral revenant/vorpal reaver…
Good
Battle panddo: Essentially a 3/4 for 3 but better, good with inner focus ,insane with deathstrike seal. The only bad thing about this dude is that it makes Songhai even worst against zen’rui.
Very Good
Pantherian: Seems too situational, 6 mana 6/6 is pretty bad on its own , having to play all 3 wish in the same deck is a huge building constraint , it is pretty hard to pull off and even if you do the pay off is not that great.
Bad
Winter’s Wake : Seems like a good kill in a wall deck. Yes it is situational , but very often you have some barrier/gravity well left over is the later stage of the game and having to kill all of them is very annoying for the opponent. Unfortunately there is so much AOE effect in Shim’zar that I hardly see a wall deck being a thing in the future meta, but if the archetype is pushed enough I can see this card being played in 1 or 2 exemplar.
Good in the right deck
Inquisitor Kron: Excogitator sums up perfectly what I think about this cards, it is very very strong (probably too strong for a neutral card IMO), the provoke is especially relevant on this dude since it allow him to protect his fragile 2/2.
Excellent
I like how they bolstered uncommon synergies and tried to answer some in-faction problems (Battle Pando possibly being an alternate option to Lantern Fox, Arcane Devourer supporting ramp, Pantherian supporting Scion’s Wishes, Winter’s Wake supporting Walls, and Nature’s Confluence supporting replicate minions). While Ironcliff heart is debatable, and we really don;t know how strong/effective these cards will end up being, I think we can all agree that Inquisitor is a strong card, and it supports replace decks (just think what this card could do with 3 Aethermasters). I feel that it’s a bit cheep for its strong effect (maybe 6 or 7 mana would be better for a cost, when you compare it to Pandora). Overall great card concepts, if only I had money to buy the presale packs 
.
Judging by the artifact we saw yesterday, I expect wall Vanar to receive some buffs.
Or it coult be trash, who knows.
Nothing would satisfy me more than being able to play a very controle oriented Vanar wall deck. I’m a control player, I love it, and the idea of setting a field of block of ice to set up a powerful kill hypes me to no end.
But I doubt we’ll see such a thing unless we have more “bonechill barrier” kind of cards, except, better, and some things to protect our walls.
Right now, they pretty much suck. (like Obelysks)
Looks like CP is giving wall vanar some support with the new artifact and this card, so I expect it won’t be too hard to have at least 2 walls on the board by turn 8. Vanar does have the best single target removal so she can set up the board appropriately. In that case, winter’s wake means “deal 8 damage and have two beefy minions left over”, if your walls are close enough. It does seem highly situational though but I expect it will see use.
My brain hurts enough already…and there are SO many more cards we don’t know about. 
I can’t wait!
BTW…how will moving Walls look like O.O (please transform them into weird contructs)
Has anyone else looked at the vids on the Steam page for Duelyst? There’s a video that shows the attack animations of units, many of which are not in the game yet. Some of them look epic!
You’re referring to this one, right?
And yeah, CP likes to spoil an expansion months before the official announcement…
One of the Facebook comments when pcgamer shared this article on Facebook was " I think you misspelled Heathestone."
So many people see duelyst as a hearthstone clone lmfao
I feel like people want to see hs clone is everything. I can’t believe one could say it’s that similar to hearthstone. I would agree if it’s ES:Legends, but Duelyst? On the other hand, maybe because of this more people will try Duelyst and see that’s it’s superior.
