Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft V4 - We're gonna be RICH!

Here is the C'Thun Tutor you all were waiting for.
Both cards look slow to me, but I think Ancient Harbinger looks like the more interesting card here. It's an Old God/Sea/Frost Giant/Deathwing snatcher.
Y'Shaarj is passing the vanilla test and has an ability of putting something from your deck into the battlefield - looks powerful, but I don't know if I want to get Y'Shaarj under a dwarf's sights and lose massive amounts of tempo. I don't think his effect will be strong enough, he only provides raw board presence and minion power, but he is very easily removed via spells. I think he faces a similar problem as Varian Wrynn, being simply unforgiving for it's cost as this might screw you up if you put super-control minons like Doomsayer into your deck, it may also consume battlecries such as Alexstraza.
Ancient Harbinger, not much to say. It has weak stats for it's relatively high cost, but if your opponent cannot answer it you basically go a full step closer to victory. I think it will be run mostly in C'Thun decks, cannot see myself using it anywhere else. It depends on what we see with Yogg-Saron next week.
how is Y'Shaarj pronounced?

Y-sha:rjsh or something like that.

It's a good thing BGH is getting nerfed.
[QUOTE=Vmonkey;50040710]how is Y'Shaarj pronounced?[/QUOTE]
I mostly hear it pronounced something like ya-sha-raj.
Y'Shaarj definitely seems like the worst of the old gods so far
Still seems fun

I wonder if the tome can spawn other tomes

Kinda makes me wonder what the chances are for getting 3 Cabalist's Tomes from a Cabalist's Tome, then using one of those Cabalist's Tomes to get 3 more Cabalist's Tomes, all in one turn.

Ridiculously high when you are exactly one damage off lethal and the enemy will kill you next turn.
I was expecting Y'Shaarj to have a really cool golden animation with all the claws, tentacles and his green flaming brain.
I get that the final breath was his thing, but he looks really rigid.

Y'Shaarj seems like it'll go REALLY WELL with Entomb Priest strats
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;50040078]With the Priests running around with Mindgames in their deck (aka me), there's a good chance you never get to play your Archmage, they do :v:[/QUOTE]
Fair point
although just pop malygos in and a few other big minions. That way there's less of a chance. You can afford it by not needing stuff like doomsayers in the deck

compare it to eth conjurerer
you pay 5 mana to draw a 0 mana spell that summons a 6-3 and discover a random mage spell
this card is 5 mana, you draw completely random spells and don't get a minion on the board
The fact it's mage spells is what makes this card interesting, the chance of good shit is super high. Worse thing would be mirror image/arcane explosion.
Even if you get 1 mana spells, that's just more fuel for FlameWanker

I been pronouncing it ee-Sharjh in my head but wiki says
Y'Shaarj (pronounced Yah-Sha-Reej)[citation needed] is an Old God,
the article says it's ya-sha-raj
it's pronounced steve
The effect seems exceedingly powerful in the right kind of deck - like the ability to pull out 20 or more power in one turn for 10 mana - but what would the shell for that kind of deck even look like? It would require multiple slots for huge things, possibly clunking up your draws or even nullifying Y'Shaarj's value if you happen to draw all of your huge things before turn 10.
All these Old Gods have exceedingly powerful effects, but take a huge toll on deck design. It reminds me exactly of Reno Jackson decks.
For Y'Shaarj in particular, I think that some kind of Entomb Priest strategy might be most effective. But that's my 2 cents.

I'm going to call it now while I can: the most competitive Old Gods decks will also be in fact Reno Jackson decks. Mark my words. Limit your deck design space down to a T.

Reno C'Thun won't be a thing because you'll definitely want to put two copies of the good cultists in your deck (plus cards like Klaxxi Amber-Weaver). No point running C'Thun if you only have a couple of cards that interact with it.
Reno N'Zoth is kinda the same, though there are more deathrattle cards than C'Thun cards so maybe there are enough good ones to fill your deck with without too many duplicates.
Reno Y'Shaarj seems infeasible. Y'Shaarj needs a deck without small minions, but you can't have duplicate spells either so you simply won't have enough early game stuff to put in your deck.

I wouldn't this in the same deck as a flame waker. This is way too slow, conjurer is better as casino mage is an aggressive deck.
In reno, if you run one flamewaker then sure. That'd be sick.
Daily Arena run going just as planned.

This is some good stuff
It just occurred to me that they've shown off less than a third of the new xpac cards
Think they'll ramp it up to get them all revealed before it comes out or does "late April/early May" actually mean "May for sure"

That gave me a bigger laugh then just seeing it correctly would have.
