![]() ![]() This year Blizzard is rotating a staggering total of six Priest cards in order to further establish the class' identity. Some Basic and Classic cards will go to the Hall of Fame and only be viable in Hearthstone's Wild format, together with all the old expansions and adventures. With the Year of the Phoenix, another Standard rotation will occur. Plus I’ll get 800 dust for the 2 non-gold legendary cards I’ll dust. The Priest party train doesn't stop there though. By crafting the gold legendary cards, and the reimbursement of the 6400 in gold, I’ve gotten 2 free gold legendary cards. In the game data, Legacy is technically a representation name of two separate sets, coded as LEGACY and EXPERT1. Legacy is made of cards from the former Basic, Classic and Hall of Fame sets. It is the largest set in the game, containing a total of 425 cards as of Patch 27.54. The biggest targets are Leeroy Jenkins and Mountain. ▲ Power Word: Shield now costs 0 mana (down from 1) ▲ Holy Smite now deals 3 damage (up from 2) ▲ Shadow Word: Death now costs 2 mana (down from 3) ▲ Thoughtsteal now costs 2 mana (down from 3) ▲ Shadow Madness now costs 3 mana (down from 4) ▲ Holy Nova now costs 4 mana (down from 5) ▲ Temple Enforcer now costs 5 mana (down from 6), has 5 attack (down from 6) Legacy is a special Wild format card set implemented in Forged in the Barrens. The Hearthstone Hall of Fame 2020 rotation lineup was revealed alongside the new Hearthstone: Ashes of Outland expansion, and it's a doozy. ![]() The Hall of Fame format also allows Blizzard to move Classic cards that. Hopefully, with these changes, Priests will be a bit more powerful on their own. Hearthstone is a free-to-play online digital collectible card game developed and published. As a result of this, Blizzard had to release extremely powerful cards to make the class relevant. It's a measure in line with feedback the development team often heard over the years: Priest's core set is too weak. Except, in this case, Natalie Seline gets all the health while the targeted minion gets squat.To combat this issue, the Hearthstone developers are changing (mostly buffing) seven Priest cards from the Basic and Classic set on March 26. She's another big removal tool, and somewhat reminiscent of Goblin vs Gnomes' Vol'jin.

In case your opponent overwhelms you with large minions, you can pull the trigger on Shadow Word: Ruin and clear them all. Though in the past the Hearthstone developers have defended Leeroy's existence in Standard, it seems like now is the time to wave goodbye to the charging maniac. The five-cost stood the test of time for years as the card for aggressive decks. In the spell department, Power Infusion is a lighter version of Whispers of the Old Gods' Power Word: Tentacles, still giving a pretty significant buff. The standout, most well-known card entering the Hall of Fame is Leeroy Jenkins. Scarlet Subjugator is a cheaper Shrinkmeister, while Kul Tiran Chaplain is Power Word: Shield slapped onto a River Crocolisk. Psychic Conjurer is the Battlecry-equivalent of Journey to Un'Goro's Crystalline Oracle. Whereas previously Blizzard only rotated one or two class-specific cards to the Hall of Fame, with not a very notable gap in the collection, six cards rotating is a different beast. That no longer fits the design philosophy Blizzard has for the class, so out they go.įor the six aforementioned Priest cards leaving Standard, the Hearthstone team is bringing in replacements. With the exception of Northshire Cleric-who has been an auto-include in just about every viable Priest deck in Hearthstone's history-all Priest cards going to the Hall of Fame directly seem to have a common theme: they allowed Priests to deal a great amount of damage. It's part of the large overhaul the Priest class as a whole is receiving-read more about that here. ![]() The largest amount of cards entering the Hall of Fame are Basic and Classic Priest cards. ▲ The 11 cards entering Hearthstone's Hall of Fame. Spellbreaker, mostly added to decks to neutralize one enemy card's oppressive 'Deathrattle,' aura or repeated effect will become Wild-only too, making Ironbeak Owl the only evergreen, neutral card in Standard. Mind Control Tech, a direct counter to board-flooding strategies, is on this year's chopping block and is cut off from his Classic set buddies. Another target area of this Hall of Fame wave is tech cards: cards you include in your deck to counter specific strategies you might face online. ![]()
