![]() And Thrall, Deathseer could evolve minions twice.īlizzard offered a couple of examples of how the Clockwork Automaton would work with Baku. Frost Lich Jaina, under the right circumstances, could end up with two Water Elementals from killing two 1-health minions with her power. For Uther’s, you can summon two of the four Horsemen you need to win the game. You’d get two sets of Wicked Knife for Rogue, too, but again, you could only attack once. The automaton’s power works with Mage, Priest, and Warlock … but watch out with Gul’dan, because if you use it to draw a card, you’ll deal 4 damage to yourself.īlackwald Pixie’s Battlecry also works well with the Death Knight hero powers. ![]() You could use the Druid’s twice, but you can only attack once, so you’d need to make sure you attack on the second use. Maybe because they are made using wood from the Witchwood.”īlackwald Pixie’s Battlecry works with every hero power, but some aren’t as good as others. The Toymaker in Gilneas is one of the ‘good guys’, but for some reason his toys are coming to life and walking the streets. The Clockwork Automaton “is creepy, like one of those toys coming to life that you might hear about in a ghost story. That's it for now! Keep it on Shacknews for the next few weeks for more card breakdowns for the Witchwood, leading all the way up to the expansion's release in mid-April.The new cards are: Blackwald Pixie and Clockwork Automaton.īlackwald Pixie, as Blizzard’s lore reads, “was turned dark and spooky by Hagatha the Witch of the Witchwood.” Hagatha is the new Shaman Legendary hero, and she figures prominently in the lore behind the expansion. Whether alone or separate, the Blackwald Pixie and Clockwork Automaton will be formidable minions, especially with that odd-Cost deck synergy. If the Mage has double damage Hero Power, the Automaton means the Mage can ping anything on the board for 4 damage, which could knock out a good number of mid-tier minions. The Automaton could also slide right into a Mage deck. That means they can armor up 8 in a single turn. The Pixie may also find a home in the Control Warrior deck, where Warriors can armor up even faster. Either of these minions could be a powerful finisher for the Hunter, so start preparing for this painful combo now. The Pixie means the Hunter's Hero could strike twice in a single turn, also for 6 damage! And both of those plays would only cost 7 mana. The Automaton, in particular, means the Hunter's Hero Power is going to hit for 6 damage while it's on the board. If you put these with an odd deck, they have the potential to hurt a lot.īoth the Blackwalk Pixie and Clockwork Automaton, in particular, are going to hurt a lot in Face Hunter decks. ![]() It's because the principle behind them is exactly the same. Although there is a good reason that VentureBeat revealed both of these at once. The dragon synergy in that instance would be a pleasant bonus.ĭouble the damage and healing of your Hero Power.Īnalysis: I want to cover these last two in a single entry and it's not just because they were both covered simultaneously in a single reveal. Its 4/4 stats for 4 mana will make it a strong Arena pick, however. But for now, Scaleworm doesn't feel like it fits, nor will it fit particularly well with the game's other classes. The Dragon Priest, as a whole, is losing a lot of valuable minions in the Standard change, so maybe this will all be a moot point and that deck won't even be viable. But that lack of dragon synergy does make this feel a bit off. It's an interesting Turn 4 play for the Dragon Priest that has something on the other side of the board that's just barely outside Duskbreaker's reach. ![]() (Though it won't matter too much in Standard, since Netherspite Historian is about to rotate out.) That means no pulling it from dragon-related RNG effects. Battlecry: If you're holding a Dragon, gain +1 Attack and Rush.Īnalysis: The Scaleworm is an interesting minion, because it clearly has dragon synergy, but isn't a dragon itself.
