Set Release Date: Aug 7th

Cards Revealed So Far:

Omega Defender – 4 mana, 2/6 Epic Neutral minion, Taunt. Battlecry: If you have 10 Mana Crystals, gain +10 Attack. (V: Great card for Arena, Shudderwock and Ramp Druid decks. Also would excel in wild with C’Thun and Shudderwock. Oh and with Lady in White)

Electra Stormsurge – 3 mana, 3/3 Shaman Legendary Elemental minion, Battlecry: Your next spell this turn casts twice. (V: Probably an auto-include in just about every Shaman deck. Imagine a Shudderwock Shaman deck with this for double activating Far Sight, Healing Rain or Lightning Storm. Keep in mind, that it will double overload. Just imagine this plus Bloodlust, which adds +6 Attack to EVERY friendly minion for 8 mana.)

Myra’s Unstable Element – 5 mana, Legendary Rogue spell, Draw the rest of your deck. (V: Incredibly powerful AND incredibly dangerous. Togwaggle synergy (Togwaggle: Swap decks with your opponent. Give them a ransom spell to swap back.)  Maybe with Dollmaster Dorian (Whenever you draw a minion, summon a 1/1 copy of it.).

Spider Bomb – 3 mana, Hunter Mech 2/2, Magnetic. Deathrattle: Destroy a random enemy minion. (V: Mixed bag. Depends a lot on what else we see with this expansion. In Wild, it has more functionality due to more Mechs and ways to utilize deathrattles more.)

Biology Project – 1 mana, Druid spell, Each player gains 2 Mana Crystals. (V: You get 2 full mana crystals, that you can take advantage of right away. However you give the same to your opponent. Will be interesting to see how this works with all the released cards.)

Stargazer Luna – 3 mana, 2/4 Mage Legendary minion, After you play the right-most card in your hand, draw a card. (V: Can you say, Miracle Mage? More useful in a Burn Mage type deck versus Big Mage. I’m curious how this will work with Echo cards. Does the Echo card end up as the right card?)
