While there are Overload cards that also fit the theme of “elements”, Nature spells and Elementals are IMO far better fits since Shaman doesn’t have much in the way of Fire or Frost spells in Standard. This Questline is the one I feel is the most at odds with the flavor. There’s obviously the opportunity for some to be added to Core while the Questline is in Standard.Ĭommand the Elements (Shaman): Change two of the steps from “Play 3 cards with Overload.” to “Play 3 Nature spells.” and “Play 3 Elementals.” last Standard year), so they will leave Standard when rotation happens. Unfortunately all Standard Rogue Secrets are from Year of the Phoenix (ie. If the Rogue Questline is to be changed, this seems like the only reasonable way to do so. Seek Guidance (Priest): This Questline already has a varied play pattern that doesn’t dictate more than “Make sure you have a reasonable curve”.įind the Imposter (Rogue): Change step 2 from “Play 2 SI: 7 cards.” to “Play 2 Secrets.” This will also let the opponent interact with the completion if the Paladin doesn’t hold back a lot of minions. Rise to the Occasion (Paladin): Change step 3 from “Play 3 different 1-Cost cards.” to “Have 5 (or maybe 6) minions in play.”Ī Questline that wants to reward you with swarming the board, but can be completed without ever having a single minion in play doesn’t feel right to me.

This change will also move the deck from Pure Spell to a hybrid deck that offers some interaction. Changing the reward from step 1 is mostly to aid in completing step 2, in the same way most other step rewards do. While they do have a Hero Power archetype, the vast majority of support cards specifically for that archetype are non-typed minions. If they’re to be asked to do anything but play spells, there’s really only one thing to do. Sorcerer’s Gambit (Mage): Change the reward for step 1 from “Draw a spell.” to “Draw an Elemental.” and the task for step 2 from “Cast a Fire, Frost, and Arcane spell.” to “Play 3 Elementals”

Changing the second step to look at the Hero Power should change up the play pattern. The rewards of the Questline focus on the Hero Power, while all three steps focus on spells. Step 2 is named “Defend the Squirrels”, changing from Attack to Armor puts a bit of variety into the Questline and keeps the flavor of the step.ĭefend the Dwarven District (Hunter): Change step 2 to “Deal damage with your Hero Power twice.” Lost in the Park (Druid): Change step 2 from “Gain 5 Attack with your hero.” to “Gain 5 Armor.” (not counting the reward from step 1). There’s precedent for having minion deaths linked to portals in the single player content. So to make the Questline not be “every step is the same” and to have it be closer to the flavor, my suggestion is destroying minions instead. The name of step 3 is “Close the Portal”, drawing cards doesn’t fit that in my book. The only Questline that changes in any meaningful way is Seek Guidance, the rest just feel like “Repeat the same mini-quest 3 times” instead of offering an interesting way to play the game.įinal Showdown (Demon Hunter): Change step 3 from “Draw 5 cards in one turn” to “Destroy 3 minions.” This is as far as I can tell due to both the requirements for each step and how they play with the individual and final rewards. It adds a new Infuse keyword that absorbs anima from your friendly minions, a new card type named Locations, and more.The biggest issue I have with the Questlines as they exist is that the decks are forced into extremely linear play patterns. Murder at Castle Nathria is Hearthstone's latest expansion. Deathstalker rexxar seems to prolong the game long enough to be useful but Rhokdelar hasn't managed to fill my hand with anything particularly game changing in any of the games i've managed to play it, and i usually end up losing a turn or two after it gets played.ĭropping animal companions, the 6 cost summon 2 AC's and spellstone wolves has worked wonders, rhokdelar has been disappointing thus far. I dunno, i really like this deck but the power of it seems less in the cards that are supposed to be finishers and more in curving into a fully buffed emerald spellstone on turn 5 while landing at least 1 cat trick or wandering monster between. The new hunter secret from K&C Wandering Monster is not totally bad because (imo) there are a lot of 3 cost minions with decent stats able to kill the attacking enemy minion and possible survive it.īest not to play Spell-Only-Hunter, I guess :D Sadly all hunter secrets are bad, not really good or too situational/unreliable, cat trick is definitely the best hunter secret.
