Hearthstone mini series "Onixia's Lair" All the cards have been announced, and the last two orange cards announced, Harrin and The leader of the group, Onixia, can be said to be very polarized, from the current point of view, Halrin has no chance to appear, and Onixia is a lot of supermodels.
Guardian Hallyn
Mage Legend Retinue, Dragon, 8 costs 4/12, deals 4 damage after you cast a spell, randomly distributed to all enemies.
Guardian Halrin is on a hilltop in world of Warcraft on the south side of the town of Yongwang in winter spring valley, and she transforms into a blood elf. To meet her, you need to find the teleportation rune through a cave with many blue dragons, and of course you can choose how to climb the mountain. In the game, Halrin makes the Dragon Fire Amulet, the key to the copy of Onixia's Lair, for the players.
Speaking of hearthstone, the effect of guardian Hallin is really unsatisfactory, from the effect point of view, it is an oversized fire demon, or four magic blue frogs that can punch the face, but this card that requires follow-up spell combo is naturally the lower the cost, the better, the standard means of reducing the fee for the entourage is very small, and this version does not have a dragon card like the dragon king's spouse to give the dragon card a fee reduction, and it is really a little difficult to use Halrin to output.
In fact, the designer himself admits that Hallin is certainly inferior to the dueling master Mozacci in the current environment, but the dueling master faces a problem that is about to retire from the environment, and the designer may want Halrin to replace Mozac as the mage's explosive killing method? But to be honest, the cost of Halrin is too high, if it is changed to 6 fees as a double version of the Fire Demon, it may still be used, I don't know if the designer is limited to the racial flavor of the dragon to design a high fee (but there is a 5 fee of the weaving dragon Marigos Ah), if so why not design a blood elf version of Halrin?
At present, the best place for guardian Hallyn may be the Druid's Senario Junction, the little De has a 20 fee, if Harrin is summoned, the subsequent hit damage may be quite high. The other is the Dragon Fire Talisman made by Halrin herself, but whether the Dragon Fire Talisman card can enter the mage's construction is still two questions. More controversy about this card will be mentioned later.
The leader of the regiment, Onixia
Neutral Legend Retinue, Dragon, 10 Cost 8/8 Raid. When you control the chicks, you have immunity. Battle Roar: Summons six 2/1 dragons with raids.
Compared with Halrin, the effect of the new version of Onixia is very supermodel, want to know how supermodel the model of Onixia body is, you can compare the druid's new Kaonikosia scales, you can simply deduce that onyxhia body is equivalent to 4 costs 8/8, raid, but also immune. Unlike the illidan wargame partner who is immune to the offense, if all the young dragons are not solved, onixia's immunity is always there, and it can even eat all the non-directed random damage such as the Egg Cthun Mask, which may reflect the characteristics of the World of Warcraft quest to clean up the dragon mobs and then hit Onixia's body.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the controlled "young dragon" in the Onixia effect not only includes its own derivative "Onixia Dragon", all the cards and derivatives with the dragon in the name can make Onixia immune, that is to say, the old version of the dragon that fell out of the dragon egg is also counted, and even the designer clearly stated that the mechanical dragon is also a dragon. Of course, there is one exception in the Chinese: the fierce chick, because the original English name of the fierce chick is "Fledgling" (in fact, strictly speaking, the chick), and the Effective "Chick" English word is "whelp".
However, although the new Onixia is a supermodel, it seems that there is no special need for her deck at present, because the dragon system deck is still more difficult to group at present, and the best way for her to appear at present is to be found by the Druid's Free Pocket, but the Random Pocket will soon be retired with the four ancient gods, and can only look forward to whether it can be cooperated in the subsequent version. In addition, although this card can be seen at a glance as an arena god card, the designer agreed with the idea of "forbidding Onixia to enter arena mode in advance" on Twitter, and it seems that arena players do not have to consider her.
Designers respond
The lead designer of this mini series is Cora, who also led the design of the breakout version of Otranc, and the controversy of this mini bag is very large, especially after the launch of the guardian Hallin, many players have expressed dissatisfaction. In fact, the Otranc version designed by Cora before is still quite good, pulling back a lot of stormwind city deformed environments, most of the slot points of this mini series are actually focused on the mage, deep breath, dragon fire talisman and Hallin These three very stalked cards are given to the mage, but the intensity is very controversial.
After the guardian Hallyn announced, in the face of everyone's scolding, Cora's Twitter sent a grievance expression, and after some mage players expressed their dissatisfaction with this card, Cora said "I don't want to argue with you, if you feel dissatisfied, then I'm sorry", quite a "ah right right" sense of pendulum. In fact, when Halrin was just announced, the watermark of the original English card surface was even printed wrong, and the card picture looked very similar to the 3D original painting of the screenshot, coupled with the strength of the crotch, giving people a sense of temporary rush to work together, so it aggravated everyone's dissatisfaction.
Of course, as Cora said, the third version of the mini-series faces a retirement environment, so many cards need to take into account the things that will happen after the retirement environment, and some of them will be general now but will only be useful in the future. Some players said that this mini card package is likely not to even change the current environment after it is launched, but to be honest, looking back at the previous mini card package, there are also many cards that have only shined later, and after the previous high-intensity versions have retired from the environment, these cards may also have more room for use, and the designer may also plan to slow down the version that is too supermodel.
But to be honest, the four orange cards are not very actively crammed into the mainstream construction card in the current environment, but many cards in the mini series are still useful, such as the three cards like hunters that reinforce the three mainstream construction systems. Buying with gold coins is certainly not a loss, if the gold coins are more nervous, you can wait and see, the gold version is still counted.
