New Hearthstone update will give many, if not all classes Legendary Weapons. Now that all classes can run weapons, it is highly recommenced that all decks you run have at least one or two weapon removal minions. Harrison Jones, the classic legendary minion, will see a MAJOR usage% boost. In case you don't know the Harrison Jones card, it is a 5 mana 5/4 minion whose battle-cry destroys your opponents weapon and you draw 1 card for each durability removed. For 5 mana, assuming your opponent has a weapon, you can draw anywhere from 1 to 4 cards. I personally have never had a game where my opponent had a weapon with more than 4 durability. The 3/3 gluttonous ooze is not recommenced because when it destroys the weapon in question, you gain armor equal to it's attack but many of the new weapons have 0 attack.

Whats the new Meta? What is the new easy Legend ranking deck? I have no clue but I sure as hell am going to lose at least 20 games to it.

The new Hearthstone expansion is expected to be released sometime as early as late December or early January.

More posts will be added to this as more Hearthstone Cards are released.

For now however, I recommend that you watch out for the new Mage Weapon, Aluneth. It does not look like the weapon loses any durability each time it's effect occurs and it's effect is that you draw 3 cards at the end of your turn. Any non-aggro mage deck that runs this card is definitely going to regret it. Non-aggro mage means that they are always going to have a lot of cards in hand. There are a fair amount of cards that specialize against High Cards in hand decks. Depending on what you are mainly going against, if they are handlock decks, then your best bet is to run cards such as Cold-light Oracle (Both players draw 2 cards, if either players hand is full, the card is discarded), for 3 mana, you could essentially remove their win condition cards by sheer luck alone and since Oracle is a rare minion, you can play 2 of them and make your opponent discard up to 4 cards. Your other option is to ignore their weapon and hope they draw themselves to death via fatigue.

Edit for math:

Malygos + Azure Drake = +6 Spell Power

Baron Rivendare = Double Deathrattle

2 * 6 = 12 Thaddius minions that the game attempted to spawn.

Just curious how many of you would be interested in a Hearthstone tournament.

If more like 10 of you guys would be up for that I will contact leadership and see what I can make happen with them.

I'm willing to arrange rewards to people who place well in said tournament and would try to stream it if possible.

Post your battletag here if you're interested and want to add me
