Hearthstone

I don't disagree on the card, but I also remember this board saying mustard was garbage too.

Muster for battle and Quartermaster are both GvG cards and will rotate out

New Pally card probably see some play as replacement for Muster

Not at five mana unless there are some token enablers or the meta is really strange.

I wasn't far off!

First reaction is that Hogger doesn't look too bad. Decent body and ability and you should be guaranteed to get one Gnoll off of him.

With that said I remember Troggzor and he could easily be another one of those. If you're behind than the opponent can ignore him and keep applying pressure (or just win the game as a lot of decks are able to do by turn 7).

Cautiously optimistic on him.

Could find a place in Grim Patron warrior with whirlwinds, inner rages, and taskmasters.

Well he's arguably better than Troggzor since your opponent has to give you at least one dude unless they can kill him with something like swd/siphon. And if you can't kill him in a single hit he gets even better. This might be standard playable considering how much power is rotating out. Obviously he's no boom, but that's a respectable generic 7 drop.

Giant Sandworm: Hunter Epic. 8/8 for 8 mana. If this minion kills another minion it may attack again.

Way too slow for Hunter. It doesn't fit their class at all. It also has zero board impact the turn it plays (even with Standard this is still, almost, a requirement for an 8 drop). It really seems that Blizzard wants to create a Control Hunter archetype but I just don't see that happening unless they change the Hero Power and get rid of things that are extremely aggro oriented.

Well I think it's more that they have to be super careful about giving hunter more aggro tools. Doesn't take much to flip the deck from shit tier to top tier.

Combo with Bestial Wrath for a turn 9 board clear!

Or play aggro and win on turn 6!

really disappointed in most cards so far, no new keywords and 90% of them are just rebranded old cards with +stats

That's a really, really strong effect. It's funny that it's coming as Belcher is going away. I wouldn't rule it out completely, but yeah there would have to be a hunter meta switch for it to see use in any decks.

Wonder if we will get the corrupted Garrosh

Would be sorta interesting. I assume it would have to be either a hero replacement legend like Jaraxxus or something that changes your hero power like Shadowform.

Probably a hero replacement legend since it wouldn't make much sense for Magni to be getting corrupted. Maybe have his hero power be +1 hero attack permanently. Maybe make him quite a bit cheaper than Jaraxxus too.
