With the arrival of the free expansion, Goblins vs Gnomes, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft was given a new lease of life. The introduction of 123 new cards (from which can result another 20 items created by the circumstances of the battles), turned Hearthstone inside out. New mechanics, new decks, new tactics. We had to relearn how to play Hearthstone, but if you are still at the beginning of your addiction, look no further. Below you can get a good idea of the characteristics of the new cards and some examples of competitive decks for the new expansion, created by the best players of Hearthstone.
Crazy Inventions
If you are familiar with the Warcraft universe, then you know that there are similarities between Gnomes and Goblins - in addition to their reduced height. The both have a passion for inventions. Most are great, but some have the potential to be magnificent - if they don't blow up in your face, that is. Translating that into the Hearthstone format, this means a new type of card - Mech.
As the name suggests, Mechs are a new type of mechanical minion, who benefit greatly from interaction with other Mechs. Some are stronger if others of its kind are in play, other lower the mana cost of the Mechs that follow after. Another element that distinguishes this type of minion is the Spare Part.
The Spare Parts are items that players can win after the fulfilment of certain conditions. The Clockwork Gnome, for example (below), offers a Spare Part to the player when he dies. These items cost one mana crystal and ensure various effects, from either adding +1 to the attack or defence of a minion, to granting the Provoke skill.
Not all new cards are Mechs. Each class received several unique cards, from spells to minions, that look to complement the different styles of play. Altogether there are eight new cards for each class, including a legendary. There are also several new neutral minions, and only a few are Mechs. This includes 11 neutral legendary minions.
The introduction of the new cards and game mechanics that come with them are naturally the big focus of the expansion, but there is another new feature that deserves to be mentioned - the Spectator mode. This way you can watch the matches of other players in your friends list. This is a good way to learn some new tactics.
The expansion brought various new combinations of cards and some impressive Decks. On the following pages you can find examples of Decks built by some of the best players of Hearthstone (and one of my own). These decks also include cards from the Curse of Naxxramas adventure. Try them and see if you can make them fit into your style. Good luck!
WARLOCK
Creator: "IHU-Impact"Concept: Most Warlock decks are built based on zoo-tactics, quickly populating the board with low cost minions. This deck follows that same premisse, taking advantage of the new Mech cards to improve the effectiveness of this game plan. Another plus point of this deck is that it's not particularly expensive to create.Card List:
Warlock (8)
Neutral (22)
HUNTER
Creator: "Chakki"Concept: Leveraging the Hunter capabilities to apply consistent damage, particularly with his heroic ability, Chakki created a deck with the goal to quickly eliminate the enemy - the most expensive card costs 4 mana crystals! Win or lose (preferably the former), it is almost certain that the fighting with this deck shouldn't last long.Card List:
Hunter (14)
Neutral (16)
DRUID
Creator: "Dog"Concept: This deck takes in some of the most popular concepts of the pre-expansion Druid class, and complements them with a series of Mechs, forming a sturdy deck that can can put minions in play quickly and then improve them to crushing effect.Card List:
Druid (17)
Neutral (13)
WARRIOR
Creator: "Ricardo C. Esteves"Concept: My favourite class is the Warrior, which is one of the classes best suited for control decks. This deck in particular focuses on a style of play designed to prevent the opponent from taking control of the board early on. In the later rounds it wins the game using the legendary cards at your disposal.Card List:
Warrior (19)
Neutral (11)
ROGUE
Creator: "XiXo"Concept: The new expansion introduced a series of pirate cards, which fit perfectly with the nature of the Rogue. There is great synergy between the deck, and if the opponent does not deal quickly with the minions on the board, it will be over quickly. This deck can also pack a punch mid-game.Card List:
Rogue (14)
Neutral (16)
MAGE
Creator: "Zetalot"Concept: This deck created by Zetalot is nicknamed "Medic Mage" and focuses on a fervent control of the game. The idea is to prevent the opponent from doing anything effectively in the first rounds, until you can eventually dominate and crush the opponent with your spells or legendary minions. A perfect deck for those who like a methodical and slow style of play.Card List:
Mage (14)
Neutral (16)
PALADIN
Creator: "Ekop"Concept: This is a rather balanced deck, capable of causing a decent impact in the early rounds while maintaining good intermediate control. You can run into difficulties if you let the game drag long time, but the goal is to not to let that happen frequently.Card List:
Paladin (14)
Neutral (16)
PRIEST
Creator: "Savjz"Concept: Although it includes some cards from the expansion and The Curse of Naxxramas, this is still the basis of the most popular decks for the Priest. It's one of the best options for those who are crazy about control, but it can also cause some damage in the early rounds. A well balanced deck with good answers for each stage of the game.Card List:
Priest (21)
Neutral (9)
SHAMAN
Creator: " Charliegotskills"Concept: This Shaman deck focuses on Murlock and Totems, created by hero skill. It is a fierce deck, which benefits from the bonus of Murlocks when together and all the Shaman skills to improve his lackeys. The legendary minion Neptulon is the icing on the cake.Card List:
Shaman (15)
Neutras (15)
