On stream on Monday, Frodan and Hearthstone developer Matt Place revealed a ton of new cards for the next expansion, Mean Streets Of Gadgetzan and announced it’s coming later this week, on Dec. 1. We now know every new card included in the set, which you can check out at the Hearthstone Facebook page.
Jade Lotus golems, exploding police officers and powerful potions are just some of the amazing cards that will change Hearthstone forever. The real winners of this expansion are the Legendaries, Gadgetzan has some of the most powerful cards to ever be produced in the game. Here are the top four Legendaries revealed on stream for The Mean Streets Of Gadgetzan:
4. Krul, The Unshackled
Summoning every demon in your hand? Sign me up, please. Dump those Malcheezar Imps and Imp Gang Bosses that were clogging up your hand for zero mana. You can’t have any duplicate in your decks, so this is just another amazing tool for Reno Lock, which was already a top-tier deck in Hearthstone.
3. Genzo The Shark
Playing Hunter, you tend to lose hand advantage a lot. This sneaky gangster plans to alleviate some of that stress by adding up to three cards in your hand everytime he attacks. I doubt he’s going to see a lot of play; helping your opponent is usually not a good thing, but his stats alone make him a pretty good card in Arena and in casual games.
2. Wrathion
Draw cards until you hit one that isn’t a dragon, I think the Hearthstone developers are mad men. This card, even if it only draws one card, isn’t bad at all. A 4/5 for six mana isn’t amazing, but that extra draw pushes it over the top. Draw two or three cards that are dragons, combine them with Deathwing, Dragonlord, and it’s GG.
1. Hobart Grapplhehammer
This little goblin is going to change Hearthstone forever. Gaining +1 attack to every weapon in your deck for two mana is a deal too good to pass up. Coin this little guy out on turn one, drop a 4/2 Fiery War Axe on turn two and just watch your opponent cringe in disgust.
