![]() Honestly, the card itself is not bad at all: with some deck restrictions Devout Dungeoneer becomes a 1 mana 2/3, and even if you don't run just Holy spells, it's a card draw effect for Priest, a class that doesn't have that many cycle tools available. It's card draw for Priest, so it should become a core card from now on. Maybe future Paladin will receive swarm support, but for now we think this is a hard pass for constructed.Ĭonsidering what Priest wants to do, you may as well read Cleric of An'she's effect as a "Battlecry: Discover a spell from your deck" which means that we're talking about Thrive in the Shadows on a stick and locked behind a very light condition. a bad card for Paladin? Or am I dreaming with my eyes wide open? Seems like a less expensive The Forest's Aid but with no Twinspell and in a class that cannot capitalize very much on swarm effects. Seems like a very solid weapon to run together with Sword of the Fallen in a Secret build, be it either Aggro or N'Zoth Menagerie. #WAILING CAVERNS MAGE DROPS FREE#However, this Divine Shield wave will now come when you want it and is essentially free since all you will have to do is hold the last weapon swing and proc the Deathrattle whenever you're ready to exploit it. The effect is the same as Righteousness, a spell that never saw a bit of play. We wouldn't be surprised to be wrong on this one though. It is very unlikely that Freeze Mage will work as a standalone archetype (at least for now), but we can see a word where it can be combined with other packages (maybe the Hero Power one? Wildfire is a Fire spell and messes up your Frostweave Dungeoneer, but sometimes you gotta take some risks) in a bigger game plan, probably control oriented.Īs some people stated, it is basically a Reckoning 2.0, with the difference that with Reckoning you let the enemy minion attack and then you destroy it, while here you debuff it before the attack and then you let it live (unless it was going to be traded into one of your units, in which case all the better for you).ĭefinitely not a bad Secret at all, but Paladin appears to have better choices right now. The discount effect is based on the enemies that are currently frozen, and not on the ones you froze throughout the game, but even going Flurry (rank 2) into 2 mana Floecaster into Shattering Blast is more than decent. This is also a great spell combined with Varden Dawngrasp: for 7 mana you'll cast a one-sided Twisting Nether and develop a 3/3, which is great since Mage does not have access to unconditional removal.įloecaster is pretty much what Kabal Crystal Runner is for Secret Mage. Sure, 2 card combos are not insane, especially if the two spells alone do little (or nothing), but you're guaranteed a clear, no matter if the enemy minions are small, big, have Divine Shield or whatnot. The hinted combo with Flurry (Rank 1) is blatant. Now that there are more Frost spells and Freeze support available, Frostweave Dungeoneer might actually have a chance. We're talking about Nightbane Templar type of card, even though the requirements are different. Since Mage has many good cycle tools, you won't ever play with unit unless you'll be able to guarantee the Frost spell to be drawn and therefore to summon the Shards. With that out of the way, let's jump right into it!Īs we predicted, the mini set brought Jaina some Freeze support. Our reviews were written prior to the launch of the mini-set, so it'll be interesting to see how they hold up over the next week. The Wailing Caverns mini-set has just released and we've got some thoughts to share on the new Mage, Paladin, Priest, & Rogue cards. ![]()
