Hello everyone,
Last weekend was a little bit tough for me, I did not get a good amount of wins, as well as dropping back to Ethereal Diamond which took a lot of energy from me to get back to Mythic again. However, getting 7 wins was able to get me 4 packs, 3 rare and 1 epic which is a decent amount of packs but not that good in the quality department.
So as I said in my previous posts I will be doing such kind of pack opening posts whenever I get a good amount of new, weird cards that I did not see before so that we can all benefit together and get more knowledge of new cards and maybe it might inspire someone to create their own new deck!
So because of the good amount of packs that I got this week, there was several interesting cards that I did not see before, so here I am with a new pack opening post, let us discover together those new cards and what potential they might have in this game!
First Pack (Rare)
Warrant Issuer
With aggro light decks all around now, this card being 5 mana is a bit too expensive I would say. However, it is interesting because it can also give you another 1/1 creature that you can buff or make your enemy use mana to kill it. The only downside is that this creature does not have any ward or protected to increase his chances of surviving a turn.
Aetheric Repulsor
This card reminds me of the Flying Carpet which is a 1 mana 3/1 creature and you can choose ward or foresee. This card is a very close copy in case you can not afford the previous one and you needed it in a deck!
Intimidating Uplifter
This card work brilliantly in aggro light decks and I even recently added it and it did wonders! The buff on it is so great as well as having a 2/2 creature in board and all for 3 mana is very valuable!
Single Combat
This card was very interesting to me when I saw it because I felt there can be plays made with this in some war decks. Maybe it would work best with this new armor meta with the war and empower god power. It is more effective against Light and nature I would say.
Vengeful Surrepite
This card is a little bit week I would say. Bad stats and not very useful effect with the empower for 4 mana that's a lot. Also there are much better anubian choices out there in case you wanted to play anubian deck.
Second Pack (Rare)
Territorial Dominion
This card is very similar to the war cards I talked about earlier, and I would say it fits nature a lot with the strong beasts it has, their creatures are usually very likely to survive an attack. Especially used with a strong 5 mana creature can make it work well!
Excitable Evangelist
We can say that this is a +2/+2 buff with 2 1/1 creatures for 4 mana which is not that amazing since there are a lot better buffing options in light that can get you a lot more value!
White Fur Guard
The only place this card would fit is in control War decks which we are not seeing much these days, and also there are much better option for war in late game than this.
Humble Benefactor
Simply a very good card, widely used in almost every aggro light deck now and can give you insane value, was happy to get it in shadow as well!
Savage Strike
We are seeing this card being used quite well now in relic aggro war decks and it makes sense, it is an amazing card to clear especially with a deck where you only have relics and you can not afford to use all their attacks for clearance!
Third Pack (Rare)
Lady of Whispers
With the many cards that can give you creatures from another domain in deception, I wonder if this card can be viable for this. However, I would the problem here is the low chance that these creatures might survive with no hidden or ward or protected.
Blade Borrower
We all know and see this card now in every deception deck. It is used in every strength steal deception deck whether it is control or aggro. Good card to get although it is common.
Lykaios Postulant
I can not see why this card can not be a viable option for war if it came back into the meta somehow. For 3 mana a 3/4 creature is pretty good almost like a Rabid Bear. The only thing missing here is for it to fit in a certain deck that needs creatures like this.
Cunning Challenger
This card is similar for the 6 mana, 7/6 creature I got in the previous pack. Again only good for control war I would say but there are also much better options that this one!
Enlightenment
This card is basically to get rid of a strong enemy creature. However, with the wide variety of options to get through strong frontlines, with a lot of order cards in light and cheaper options to get through strong creatures, I could not see this card being used a lot at the moment and I think it should be changed.
Fourth Pack (Epic)
Lucky Devil
In this meta it is very tough for a low HP creature with no ward or protected to survive 1 turn even if it was a backline. Also being a 5 mana creature is a bit too much for it. I do not this it will be ever used unless it was somehow changed!
United Reinforcement
I do not know if the recent change on this card made it better or worse, however, we do not see a lot of nature decks out there anymore and this has certainly effected the usefulness of this card. But I would say if nature came back to the meta this card will be one of the core cards in many decks!
Hopeful Druid
I never saw this card being used before in any nature deck. Now I think 4 mana is a bit too much for it, maybe if it was a 3 mana it would be much more useful and not broken IMO because there are a lot of stupidly insane buffing options out there.
Furious Felid
This card was used against me several times, I do not know though and I can not see how it can be useful. Maybe against Light and Deception where there is a lot of echo creatures thus a lot of 1/1
Final Thoughts
So these were my previous week packs, not a lot of exciting catches but definitely some new cards that I never saw before, and this is the purpose of such posts to meet and see new cards that we might not know existed in hope you can see potential in them and maybe use them somewhere!
I did hope for more exciting better catches of course but I also do not feel I deserved them this week especially that I did so bad in it but this is how the game works! So I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe learned something from it, it would make me much happy!
That was it for this one, stay tuned for more posts like this if you like them and like seeing new cards in the latest expansion, if you do make sure to drop a follow I would really appreciate it and good luck for everyone on their journey in this weekend ranked event! See you all on another one!
Mad Love, Peace out <3
