20 DAMAGE PYROBLAST USING PRIEST

Hearthstone player peripheral was about to lose the game, being down to two life points and facing an Argent Commander and a 9/9 Ethereal Arcanist. To the surprise of his opponent, Bombaklap, who gave him a "well played" emote, our priest protagonist got a Pyroblast from him and, together with Prophet Velen's ability, allowed him to surprise Bombaklap with a 20 damage Pyroblast.

VOIDCALLER: New Warlock Card From Curse of Naxxramas

Exciting! Hearthstone's Twitter account has just posted a new Warlock card from Curse of Naxxramas. Voidcaller is a 3/4 demon that costs four mana with a pretty interesting deathrattle ability. Imagine having it killed and dropping down a free Doomguard! That's right, you wouldn't have to randomly discard two cards if you put it into the battlefield through this demon. Would this deck become part of Zoolock, or will a new kind of Warlock deck emerge? Curse of Naxxramas is near, so prepare your gold!

"Rebirth" Shaman Card Renamed to "REINCARNATE"

Hearthstone Community Manager Zeriyah has just stated through Twitter that the Curse of Naxxramas Shaman card "Rebirth" will be renamed to "Reincarnate" because of the feedback received. This has probably something to with Warcraft lore, as Rebirth is actually a Druid spell in World of Warcraft. On the other head, Reincarnate is a Shaman spell in WoW. So, will we see Rebirth reincarnate as a Druid card in the near future? For now, goodbye.

Today I Met Tinkmaster Overspark, It Was A Good Day

I played three games using your typical aggro paladin deck. Two of those games were mirror matches, with one seemingly wanting to get rid of me quickly because of he emptied his hand immediately and dropped Avenging Wrath against me and and my 2/1 Bluegill Warrior. Still, the highlight of my day is that I finally saw the legendary Tinkmaster Overspark. It was my first time seeing it in play and I didn't know how to react. Especially when my 1/1 Silver Recruit became a freakin' 5/5 dinosaur by turn 3. This led me to victory. Thank you, Tinkmaster. Thank you, RNGesus.

DRUIDS, Do NOT Use Your Hero Power BEFORE Attacking: Here's Why

I just realized that I am one of those players who like to do it the wrong way. But why is it wrong? Apparently, it's better to kill of a 4/2 or any minion that you can kill using Claw alone, without having to use your hero power. The same thing goes for killing any minion with 4 health using Bite. The reasoning behind this is pretty simple: to lessen the risks. But what are you being careful for? Well, it's actually because of the probability that your opponent will be playing Alexstrasza, and of course, your life total might be picked down to 15. So what does this have to do with the hero power of the Druid? Moreover, what does this have to do with armor? The answer is this: Alexstrasza only adjusts your health, but not your armor.

Here's an example:

Situation 1: Your opponent has a Knife Juggler in play. You decide to use Claw and your hero power to have an attack power of 3. You hit the Juggler, and you lose your three armor. Your opponent then plays Alexstrasza a few turns later and you have 15 total health.

Situation 2: Your opponent has a Knife Juggler in play. You decide to use Claw and then attack the Juggler with your 2 attack power. This causes you to lose 1 life point. After attacking, you use your hero power to get 1 armor. So, you lose 1 life point but you gain 1 armor. A few turns later, your opponent uses Alexstrasza. In this situation, you get 15 health and 1 armor.
