    What are the power FoH cards?

    Hi,

    Your opinions here please kind sirs and madames.

    If you were Drafting, or playing Limited, which FoH cards stand out to you as keepers?

    Cheers.

    Good one.

    I'd go with the obvious Hesriana and Taste of Divinity also.

    Cheers.

    That truely depends on if we are talking rares that we would love to pull, or commons/uncommons that we would love to have passed : )

    A few I would love to pull

    Carnage (Almost a board wipe for your opponents)

    Pin

    Find Treasure Alies

     

    Rares

    Taste, Hope Ender, Dundee, Blessing of Kings, Maddocks, Dimzer, and Gnomeregan...

    Re: What are the power FoH cards?

    Would Pin be a good choice? I find the effectiveness questionable, since it does stagger the early tempo slightly but the usage is hit or miss as it gets closer to late game IMHO.

    Re: What are the power FoH cards?

    Bombs wise, Yula the Fair on Horde's side if you have one of the locations for counters. Zalan Ragewind is powerful too, with a very useful effect and solid 3/4 protector for 4. Sergeant Pugg is a machine, huge for a 5-cost, as Dethvir is at 4-cost. Blood Knight Haelath and Windstriker Larun deserve a mention too I thin, Larun just because of his large body on a 3-drop.

    Alliance doesn't have as many imo, Zumbly Fiddlespark seems solid and Endina the Haunted could be very handy paired with some combat tricks if nothing else. Dimzer and Royal Guardian Jameson are huge, Adam Eternum would be a pain to deal with no doubt, and Iravar is an efficient board clearer if you've got one of the good locations.

    Weapons: Some very nice ones this set. Hope Ender, Blackout Truncheon and Vengeful Gladiator's Cleaver, Wub's Cursed Hexblade for casters, Jinrohk as a finisher, Steelhawk Crossbow pretty good too. Heartless and Firemaul of Destruction I'm not sure about.

    All 3 arena armour sets seem powerful. The Priest one is gamebreaking with its triple ally bounce but the other two both supply a powerful tap power in limited. Bonefist Gauntlets support previously mentioned weapons well.

    Call to Arms: Arathi Basin I think is the most bomb quest we've seen in a while. Towers and Bunkers is very solid if you've got a location, and on that note, Alterac Valley is powerful, you'll probably pull it off once every game and some games twice. Plus its the best for fueling previously mentioned honor allies. Eye of the Storm seems great, Arathi Basin solid but not quite as gamebreaking.

    Class abilities - Celestial Shard, Grizzly Defender, Dundee, Explosive Trap, Holy Strike, Blessing of Kings, Convert, Uplifting Prayer, A Taste of Divinity, Tithe, Carnage, Backlash, Hesriana.

    There's my theorymonz for tonight :P

    Thanks WIMB. Lots of food for thought for the Release event tomorrow.

    Re: What are the power FoH cards?

    I found Tithe awesome in sealed/draft. Since most of the dmg is from allies, tithe can kill two of their most powerful guys in one swoop.

    Re: What are the power FoH cards?

    Dominate is really great

    ~

    Best ranking at weekly draft : 4th (5 showed up and I got a bye :D)
    Number of weekly drafts : 44 and counting.
    0-4 drop at worlds (pairings suck)
    Once won a game in DMF, my opponent didn't show up.

    Re: What are the power FoH cards?

    Eye of the Storm.

    Re: What are the power FoH cards?

        I agree, Eye of the Storm is a huge card.  Adam Eternum is a bomb as he a is a pain to remove with an active EotS.  I really like Roaring Blaze.  I believe that Horde got it a bit better in Sealed this set.

    I think that you Leonard have as much of a chance of having a sexual relationship with Penny as the Hubble telescope does of discovering at the center of every black hole is a little man with a flashlight searching for a circuit breaker.

    Re: What are the power FoH cards?

    I second that Hesriana & ToD are really good. Hesriana's price seems to be going up quite a bit on EBAY and other sites.

    Others that I like:

    Whiteout Staff seems retartedly good with Blizzard, especially for the cost of both
    Hesriana super-good with Soulstone, IMHO
    Heartless seems pretty good
    Wub's Cursed Hexblade = very, very nice

    Re: What are the power FoH cards?

    Eye of the Storm is HUGE

    Celestrial Shard is good as well

    Like the quests in geneal of this set
