![]() Granted, not all of the Hand Druid synergy cards ended up being actually good, but damn if the archetype isn't badass.Ī lot of the other cards that they pushed ended up just sort of not really working out, but honestly? Druid had enough super-powerful cards as they are with the little boost they got from this expansion. Easily the biggest surprise for me personally. Most surprising is that Hand Druid actually worked out as the newest iteration of the monstrous Token Druid that ends up playing out like a fun little deck that plays like a midrange/control hybrid. Malygos's a pretty good deck, too, which only really survived when the nerfs curbed the stem of aggro, allowing Malygos to really shine. and everyone was just freaking out over silly old Witchwood Grizzly! And I am genuinely bamboozled and pleased! Hadronox isn't a card that was on my radar when I was reviewing these cards, and to realize that getting him back with Witching Hour is not only powerful, but straight-up bonkers with some of the Taunts currently in standard. While Spiteful Summoner's nerf has surprisingly knocked her down from her perch, Druid ends up dominating the top tiers with a mixture of Token Hand Druid, Malygos Combo Druid and Hadronox Druid. I'm going to rate these cards as they are post-nerf, but will leave 'honorary' rankings for cards that were good pre-nerf but not so good afterwards.ĭruid proves, once more, to be one of the most versatile classes, and had a lot of decent work back in the pre-nerf era with Spiteful Druid. Still, I've played enough to have a neat feel for a good chunk of the new cards introduced. I've not been playing as much Witchwood as I did some of the previous expansions, although that's not Blizzard or the game's fault - real life has been pretty demanding and I've not been getting the energy to play the ladder. Witchwood's going to be a bit of a hard expansion to do this for, though, for the simple reason that there were a couple of very significant nerfs around halfway through the expansion which really knocked down top-tier decks like Even Paladin and Cube Warlock, and brought up the rise of what's easily the most control-dominated meta in Hearthstone's history.ĭon't really have that much to talk about here, honestly. It's around that time again in the Hearthstone expansion cycle that a new expansion is on the horizon, and it's well time to look back into the cards released from the previous expansion, and see just how accurate or inaccurate my predictions back then has been.
