Hearthstone - Achievements

I've recently gotten these 3 achievements.

Chicken Dinner is awarded for winning 100 games in any mode, including against the AI the "Innkeeper."

"Crushed Them All!" is awarded for defeating every Expert AI Hero.  There isn't a good way to keep track of which ones you've beaten and the last ones remaining.  So it is best to start at the top and work your way down.  The hardest AI for me was the Hunter deck.

My Journey to 10 for each class will get you the achievement "Got the Basics!"

These 3 achievements came around the same time.  It was nice to get 500 extra gold.

Arena Mage Deck (7 wins)

This is my 4th attempt at Arena and I got this deck and won 7 games.  I got 1 pack and 185 gold.  Key seems to start with several minions that are 2 and 3 mana.  The early game will make the mid and end game difference.  The games I lost on, I didn't trade well and lost focus and just started auto playing without thinking much about the next play.

This is the top half.

This is the bottom half.

Hearthstone - Journey to 10 - Rogue Leveling Deck

Card draw and board control is how I won with Rogue.  I added some Kobold Geomancer and Ogre Magi to increase the spells damage.  This is my last class to level 10.  I think I have learned a lot and will still play.

Hearthstone - Journey to 10 - Paladin Leveling Deck

New daily quest for today, led me to get my Paladin to level 10.

My basic decks have been playing a lot of the same lately.  Play all of the good removal class specific spells and then add the best of the Neutral cards.  You'll see the progress of the decks below.  The first one isn't bad, it just isn't as good as the second. 

The deck below doesn't have any card drawing, but it has a lot of 2 for 1 cards.  So by the time you get to round 8-10, you have virtual card advantage and some bigger creatures.  The Argent Protector and Youthful Brewmaster definitely help out with the card advantage.  Then play the standard good basic cards - Acidic Swamp Ooze, Shattered Sun Cleric, Chillwind Yeti, Sen'jin Shieldmasta, Boulderfist Ogre, and I exchanged the Stormwind Champions for the class specific Guardian of Kings.  The heal by the Guardian of Kings just took out the steam of any rush decks or those who thought they were close to winning.

Good luck, have fun!

Hearthstone - Journey to 10 - Warrior Leveling Deck

I got a daily quest that encouraged me to level my warrior and paladin.  I went with Warrior first.

Since you smash face with your Fiery War Axe, I added the Voodoo Doctor and the Darkscale Healer.  I added the Gnomish Inventor because it lacked serious draw and answers to issues.  The Warsong Commander would straight up win some games for me.  I'd play Taz'Dingo and other 3 attack or lower  creatures to clear up the board.

Hearthstone - Best Basic Neutral Cards

These cards will help you win when you first start out to play.

Good 1 Mana Cards
Elven Archer - 1/1 Shooter.  If played correctly, it will help with card advantage.  You often can take out 2-3 mana drops by the opponent.

Voodoo Doctor - 2/1 Healer.  It will also take out some 2 and 3  mana drops.

Good 2 Mana Cards
Acidic Swamp Ooze - 3/2 that destroys hero weapons.  This is one of the best neutral cards for tempo and value.  6 of the 9 classes can play weapons - only WoW cloth classes can't.

Bluegill Warrior - 2/1 Charge.  This little guy doesn't look like much, but he is great.  I look at the Charge minions as board cleaners. They cost some mana and a card, but help your board position.  The are like Shock or Lightning Bolt from MTG.

Novice Engineer - 1/1 Cantrip.  This is the little sister of the Gnomish Inventor.  It helps thin out your deck and provide a minion.  At 1 health, it is only good at dealing 1 damage to another minion.

Good 3 Mana Cards
Ironfur Grizzly - 3/3 Taunt.  This guy eats up most of the previous drops thus far.

Raid Leader - 2/2 Buffer.  This is the little brother of Stormwind Champion and helps clear the board in your favor.  All your low drops can now trade up.  The 2/1 healer (Voodoo Doctor) can now kill the 3/3 Taunt (Ironfur Grizzly).

Shattered Sun Cleric - 3/2 Buffer.  Like the Raid Leader, it helps you trade up on card value.  Play this buff on a 3/2 minion and then you are killing the opponents utility minions.  Utility minions usually have lower damage and higher health; for example Nat Pagle.

Wolfrider - 3/1 Charge.  Like the Bluegill Warrior, it helps clear the board.

Good 4 Mana Cards
Chillwind Yeti - 4/5 Big Guy.  With 5 health this helps your board position, it'll sometimes eat up 3 cards of the opponent to get rid of it - that is value.

Gnomish Inventor - 2/4 Cantrip.  Helps thin your deck and get you answers.

Ogre Magi - 4/4 Spell Buffer.  Par for the course on damage and health, it helps your spells.

Sen'jin Shieldmasta - 3/5 Taunt.  Affectionately known as "Taz Dingo,"  this guy can clear an entire board of Mulocs.  The 5 health and forcing to be the target of attackers is really valuable at this stage in the game.

Good 5 Mana Cards
Darkscale Healer - 4/5 Healer.  Play this after attacking the board in your favor.  Now your minions get healed for 2 as well as your hero.

Frostwolf Warlord - 4/4, but usually much bigger.  For 5 mana, it doesn't seem like a good value.  But if you have only 1 other minion it is a 5 mana 5/5 and from there it only gets bigger.  He usually enters the battlefield at a 7/7.

Gurubashi Berserker - 2/7 Enrage.  Every time it is dealt damage it gets bigger.  This plays really well into the Mage ability - damage it for 1 on the next turn and now it is a 5/6, next turn 8/5, 11/4 and so on.

Good 6 Mana Cards
Boulderfist Ogre - 6/7 Big Guy.  From the IHearthU's Legendary Replacement guide, this guy is a beast.  If you are low on legendaries, which most of us are, just play him in your deck.  He really is just that good.

Reckless Rocketeer - 5/2 Charge.  Board cleaner or finisher.  This isn't as good as the rares (Argent Commander) or legendaries (Leeroy Jenkins) but is a nice option available to everyone.

Good 7 Mana Cards
Stormwind Champion - 6/6 Buffer.  Giving all other minions 1/1 helps your board position.

Good luck and have fun.

Hearthstone - Journey to 10 - Shaman Leveling Deck

This is the Shaman deck that took me to level 10.  The goal of this deck is to take control of the board and then play Bloodlust and end the game.  Most games go to round 10 or more, and you have staying power with Boulderfist Ogre and Stormwind Champion.

This deck plays some of the stronger neutral basic cards and some of the commons I opened up.  The Imp Master and Bloodlust were a nice combo, if it happens.  Things to learn, the Flametongue Totem's abilities and how it impacts your current minions and summoned totems.

I'm noticing at the early levels of rank or casual play, that people are playing a lot of 1-4 mana costing cards.  So if you are able to outlast the onslaught of a few minions and plays, you can stabilize and win out.  This deck is 2-1 today.

Hearthstone Open Beta Review

First Impressions and Review

The game has a really nice intro, it gets you through the learning phase of the game.  That only takes a couple of hours.  Then you are off to make your own decks and to level the 9 classes.  Mage, Jaina Proudmore, is the class with which you start.  Those first interactions against PVE type of decks were fun.  You get to do your first arena and experience that.  After that it is casual, ranked, and arena play.  There is really no valid reason to play against the AI, except to get the gold bonus achievement and unlock the other classes.

As a Free 2 Play (F2P) player, this really doesn't have sticking power in the long run.  I'll keep playing for the next few weeks and possibly months, but I can easily see another game coming and taking me away from Hearthstone pretty easily - Blizzard's Diablo III Reaper of Souls expansion, Trendy's Dungeon Defenders 2 release, and/or a new season of my favorite TV shows.

Overall Review:  Okay but not great.

Hearthstone - First Week Progress

This is my first week of play.  I started open beta on 2/6/2014 according to my posting on this blog; it might be a couple of days longer.  As you can see, I have 4 classes to 10 and a few others half way there.  I usually let the daily quest determine which class I'm going to be playing that day.  The current daily is for Hunter and Druid victories, unfortunately they are already 10.

Hearthstone - Journey to 10 - Warlock Rush

The idea of this Warlock rush deck is based off of this post in Reddit by the Ark.  I don't have all of the basic warlock cards and not nearly all of the commons and rares.  This is a simple smash face deck.  Put in all of the basic/free Charge cards - Bluegill Warrior, Wolfrider, Reckless Rocketeer.  Try to control the board, but mostly just hit face and win in 7-9 rounds.

Hearthstone - Journey to 10 - Priest Starter Deck

This is the deck I used to get my priest to 10.  It is slower than snot, seriously.  2 of the games went like this.

  

Versus Warlock - opponent ran out of cards and I let the "Fatigue" kill him, I had control of the board, but wanted to get a win by "Fatigue."  

Versus Warrior - I ran out of cards and used Holy Nova and taunt creatures to stabilize at the end.  I used my Lesser Heal (Hero Power +2 heal) to keep myself up.  Either way, these games lasted a lot longer than the Murloc deck.

The strategy is to stabilize at the beginning and take control of the board for victory.  Ironbeak Owl does break Corruption on one of your own creatures.

Hearthstone - Journey to 10 Hunter

This basic hunter deck has some good synergies.  The beast help each other out.  This didn't win as much as the Druid Murloc Deck, but did fine for the Daily Quest.  The Reckless Rocketeer was the champion.  If it was in your hand come 6-8 mana, you'd more than likely win; breaking through the defenses or hitting them straight to the face.

Hearthstone - Journey to 10 Druid - Murloc Rush

This is my Druid Murloc Rush Deck.  It, like my other decks, is meant to win/lose in a hurry.  This won more than it lost.  Good luck to anyone else that tries it.

Hearthstone - Journey to 10 Mage

Mage was my first class to 10 with the following deck.  I included some cards that were opened in the first few packs.

Hearthstone - Weapon Card Text

Name	Rarity	Class	Cost	Attack	Health	Description
Eaglehorn Bow	Rare	Hunter	3 Mana	3 Attack	2 Health	Whenever a Secret is revealed, gain +1 Durability. First Lesson: Put the pointy end in the other guy.
Gladiator's Longbow	Epic	Hunter	7 Mana	5 Attack	2 Health	Your hero is Immune while attacking. The longbow allows shots to be fired from farther away and is useful for firing on particularly odorous targets.
Ashbringer	Legendary	Paladin	5 Mana	5 Attack	3 Health
Light's Justice	Free	Paladin	1 Mana	1 Attack	4 Health	Prince Malchezaar was a collector of rare weapons. He'd animate them and have them dance for him.
Sword of Justice	Epic	Paladin	3 Mana	1 Attack	5 Health	Whenever you summon a minion, give it +1/+1 and this loses 1 Durability. I dub you Sir Loin of Beef!
Truesilver Champion	Common	Paladin	4 Mana	4 Attack	2 Health	Whenever your hero attacks, restore 2 Health to it. It Slices, it Dices. You can cut a tin can with it. (But you wouldn't want to.)
Assassin's Blade	Common	Rogue	5 Mana	3 Attack	4 Health	Guaranteed to have been owned by a real assassin. Certificate of authenticity included.
Perdition's Blade	Rare	Rogue	3 Mana	2 Attack	2 Health	Battlecry: Deal 1 damage. Combo: Deal 2 instead. Perdition's Blade is Ragnaros's back-up weapon while Sulfuras is in the shop.
Wicked Knife	Free	Rogue	1 Mana	1 Attack	2 Health
Doomhammer	Epic	Shaman	5 Mana	2 Attack	8 Health	Windfury, Overload: (2) Orgrim Doomhammer gave this legendary weapon to Thrall. His name is a total coincidence.
Stormforged Axe	Common	Shaman	2 Mana	2 Attack	3 Health	Overload: (1) Yo, that's a nice axe.
Arcanite Reaper	Common	Warrior	5 Mana	5 Attack	2 Health	No… actually you should fear the Reaper.
Battle Axe	None	Warrior	1 Mana	2 Attack	2 Health
Blood Fury	None	Warrior	3 Mana	3 Attack	8 Health
Fiery War Axe	Free	Warrior	2 Mana	3 Attack	2 Health	During times of tranquility and harmony, this weapon was called by its less popular name, Chilly Peace Axe.
Gorehowl	Epic	Warrior	7 Mana	7 Attack	1 Health	Attacking a minion costs 1 Attack instead of 1 Durability. Grommash Hellscream's famous axe. Somehow this ended up in Prince Malchezaar's possession. Quite the mystery!
Heavy Axe	None	Warrior	1 Mana	1 Attack	3 Health

Hearthstone - Spell Card Text

Name	Rarity	Class	Cost	Description
Bananas	None	Any	1	Give a minion +1/+1.
I Am Murloc	None	Any	4	Summon three, four, or five 1/1 Murlocs.
Power of the Horde	None	Any	4	Summon a random Horde Warrior.
Rogues Do It...	None	Any	4	Deal 4 damage. Draw a card.
The Coin	None	Any	0	Gain 1 Mana Crystal this turn only.
Excess Mana	None	Druid	0	Draw a card. (You can only have 10 Mana in your tray.)
Claw	Free	Druid	1	Give your hero +2 Attack this turn and 2 Armor. The claw decides who will stay and who will go.
Healing Touch	Free	Druid	3	Restore #8 Health. 8 Health, no waiting.
Innervate	Free	Druid	0	Gain 2 Mana Crystals this turn only. Some druids still have flashbacks from strangers yelling "Innervate me!!" at them.
Mark of the Wild	Free	Druid	2	Give a minion Taunt and +2/+2. (+2 Attack/+2 Health) Not to be confused with Jim of the Wild.
Wild Growth	Free	Druid	2	Gain an empty Mana Crystal. Grow your own mana crystals with this Mana Crystal Growth Kit, only 39.99!
Mark of Nature	Common	Druid	3	Choose One - Give a minion +4 Attack; or +4 Health and Taunt. Druids call it the "Mark of Nature." Everyone else calls it "needing a bath."
Moonfire	Common	Druid	0	Deal 1 damage. "Cast Moonfire, and never stop." - How to Be a Druid, Chapter 5, Section 3
Naturalize	Common	Druid	1	Destroy a minion. Your opponent draws 2 cards. Another one bites the dust.
Power of the Wild	Common	Druid	2	Choose One - Give your minions +1/+1; or Summon a 3/2 Panther. Never look a panther in the eye. Or is it 'Always look a panther in the eye'? Well, it's one of those.
Savage Roar	Common	Druid	3	Give your characters +2 Attack this turn. What do they roar? Nobody can quite tell, but it sounds like "Elephant Macho Breeze". It's probably not that, though.
Soul of the Forest	Common	Druid	4	Give your minions "Deathrattle: Summon a 2/2 Treant." "Reforestation" is suddenly a terrifying word.
Starfire	Common	Druid	6	Deal 5 damage. Draw a card. Balance is important to druids. This card is perfectly balanced.
Swipe	Common	Druid	4	Deal 4 damage to an enemy and 1 damage to all other enemies. When a bear rears back and extends his arms, he's about to Swipe! ... or hug.
Wrath	Common	Druid	2	Choose One - Deal 3 damage to a minion; or 1 damage and draw a card. The talk around the Ratchet Inn is that this card is too good and should be a Legendary.
Bite	Rare	Druid	4	Give your hero +4 Attack this turn and 4 Armor. Chew your food!
Nourish	Rare	Druid	5	Choose One - Gain 2 Mana Crystals; or Draw 3 cards. Druids take nourishment from many things: the power of nature, the songbird's chirp, a chocolate cake.
Savagery	Rare	Druid	1	Deal damage equal to your hero's Attack to a minion. It is true that some druids are savage, but others still enjoy a quiet moment and a spot of tea.
Starfall	Rare	Druid	5	Choose One - Deal 5 damage to a minion; or 2 damage to all enemy minions. Is the sky falling? Yes. Yes it is.
Force of Nature	Epic	Druid	6	Summon three 2/2 Treants with Charge that die at the end of the turn. "I think I'll just nap under these trees. Wait... AAAAAHHH!" - Blinkfizz, the Unfortunate Gnome
Arcane Shot	Free	Hunter	1	Deal 2 damage. Magi conjured arcane arrows to sell to hunters, until hunters learned just enough magic to do it themselves. The resulting loss of jobs sent Stormwind into a minor recession.
Multi-Shot	Free	Hunter	4	Deal 3 damage to two random enemy minions. You see, it's all about throughput.
Tracking	Free	Hunter	1	Look at the top three cards of your deck. Draw one and discard the others. For the person who just cannot decide what card to put in their deck!
Animal Companion	Common	Hunter	3	Summon a random Beast Companion. You could summon Misha, Leokk, or Huffer! Huffer is more trouble than he's worth.
Deadly Shot	Common	Hunter	3	Destroy a random enemy minion. Accuracy is not a highly valued trait among the mok'nathal. Deadliness is near the top, though.
Explosive Trap	Common	Hunter	2	Secret: When your hero is attacked, deal 2 damage to all enemies. It traps your food AND cooks it for you!
Freezing Trap	Common	Hunter	2	Secret: When an enemy minion attacks, return it to its owner's hand and it costs (2) more. "Dang, that's cold." - appropriate response to Freezing Trap, or a mean joke.
Hunter's Mark	Common	Hunter	0	Change a minion's Health to 1. Never play 'Hide and Go Seek' with a Hunter.
Kill Command	Common	Hunter	3	Deal 3 damage. If you have a Beast, deal 5 damage instead. "Kill!", he commanded.
Snipe	Common	Hunter	2	Secret: When your opponent plays a minion, deal 4 damage to it. A great sniper hits the spot. Just like a delicious flank of boar. Mmmmm.
Unleash the Hounds	Common	Hunter	2	For each enemy minion, summon a 1/1 Hound with Charge. You must read the name of this card out loud each time you play it.
Explosive Shot	Rare	Hunter	5	Deal 5 damage to a minion and 2 damage to adjacent ones. Pull the pin, count to 5, then shoot. Then duck.
Flare	Rare	Hunter	1	All minions lose Stealth. Destroy all enemy Secrets. Draw a card. Not only does it reveal your enemies, but its also great for parties!
Misdirection	Rare	Hunter	2	Secret: When a character attacks your hero, instead he attacks another random character. Sometimes it's as simple as putting on a fake mustache and pointing at someone else.
Bestial Wrath	Epic	Hunter	1	Give a Beast +2 Attack and Immune this turn. The seething wrath is just beneath the surface. Beneath that is wild abandon, followed by slight annoyance.
Snake Trap	Epic	Hunter	2	Secret: When one of your minions is attacked, summon three 1/1 Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?
Arcane Explosion	Free	Mage	2	Deal 1 damage to all enemy minions. This spell is much better than Arcane Implosion.
Arcane Intellect	Free	Mage	3	Draw 2 cards. Playing this card makes you SMARTER. And let's face it: we could all stand to be a little smarter.
Arcane Missiles	Free	Mage	1	Deal 3 damage randomly split among enemy characters. You'd think you'd be able to control your missiles a little better since you're a powerful mage and all.
Fireball	Free	Mage	4	Deal 6 damage. This spell is useful for burning things. If you're looking for spells that toast things, or just warm them a little, you're in the wrong place.
Polymorph	Free	Mage	4	Transform a minion into a 1/1 Sheep. There was going to be a pun in this flavor text, but it just came out baa-d.
Cone of Cold	Common	Mage	4	Freeze a minion and the minions next to it, and deal 1 damage to them. Magi of the Kirin Tor were casting Cubes of Cold for many years before Cones came into fashion some 90 years ago.
Flamestrike	Common	Mage	7	Deal 4 damage to all enemy minions. When the ground is on fire, you should not stop, drop, and roll.
Frost Nova	Common	Mage	3	Freeze all enemy minions. Hey man, that's cold. Literally and metaphorically.
Frostbolt	Common	Mage	2	Deal 3 damage to a character and Freeze it. It is customary to yell "Chill out!" or "Freeze!" or "Ice ice, baby!" when you play this card.
Ice Barrier	Common	Mage	3	Secret: As soon as your hero is attacked, gain 8 Armor. This is Rank 1. Rank 2 is Chocolate Milk Barrier.
Ice Lance	Common	Mage	1	Freeze a character. If it was already Frozen, deal 4 damage instead. The trick is not to break the lance. Otherwise, you have "Ice Pieces." Ice Pieces aren't as effective.
Mirror Entity	Common	Mage	3	Secret: When your opponent plays a minion, summon a copy of it. "You go first." - Krush'gor the Behemoth, to his pet boar.
Mirror Image	Common	Mage	1	Summon two 0/2 minions with Taunt. Oh hey it's Mirror Image! !egamI rorriM s'ti yeh hO
Blizzard	Rare	Mage	6	Deal 2 damage to all enemy minions and Freeze them. This spell can be very Entertaining.
Counterspell	Rare	Mage	3	Secret: When your opponent casts a spell, Counter it. What's the difference between a mage playing with Counterspell and a mage who isn't? The mage who isn't is getting Pyroblasted in the face.
Vaporize	Rare	Mage	3	Secret: When a minion attacks your hero, destroy it. Rumor has it that Deathwing brought about the Cataclysm after losing a game to this card. We may never know the truth.
Ice Block	Epic	Mage	3	Secret: When your hero takes fatal damage, prevent it and become Immune this turn. Ice is nice, and will suffice!
Pyroblast	Epic	Mage	10	Deal 10 damage. Take the time for an evil laugh after you draw this card.
Spellbender	Epic	Mage	3	Secret: When an enemy casts a spell on a minion, summon a 1/3 as the new target. While it's fun to intercept enemy lightning bolts, a spellbender much prefers to intercept opposing Marks of the Wild. It just feels meaner. And blood elves... well, they're a little mean.
Blessing of Might	Free	Paladin	1	Give a minion +3 Attack. "As in, you MIGHT want to get out of my way." - Toad Mackle, recently buffed.
Hammer of Wrath	Free	Paladin	4	Deal 3 damage. Draw a card. A good paladin has many tools. Hammer of Wrath, Pliers of Vengeance, Hacksaw of Justice, etc.
Hand of Protection	Free	Paladin	1	Give a minion Divine Shield. This spell has been renamed so many times, even paladins don’t know what it should be called anymore.
Holy Light	Free	Paladin	2	Restore #6 Health. If you are often bathed in Holy Light, you should consider wearing sunscreen.
Blessing of Kings	Common	Paladin	4	Give a minion +4/+4. (+4 Attack/+4 Health) Given the number of kings who have been assassinated, are you sure you want their blessing?
Blessing of Wisdom	Common	Paladin	1	Choose a minion. Whenever it attacks, draw a card. Apparently with wisdom comes the knowledge that you should probably be attacking every turn.
Consecration	Common	Paladin	4	Deal 2 damage to all enemies. Consecrated ground glows with Holy energy. But it smells a little, too.
Eye for an Eye	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When your hero takes damage, deal that much damage to the enemy hero. Justice sometimes takes the form of a closed fist into a soft cheek.
Humility	Common	Paladin	1	Change a minion's Attack to 1. This card makes something really damp. Oh wait. That's "Humidity."
Noble Sacrifice	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When an enemy attacks, summon a 2/1 Defender as the new target. We will always remember you, "Defender!"
Redemption	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When one of your minions dies, return it to life with 1 Health. I am not sure how you get demptioned the first time. It’s a mystery!
Repentance	Common	Paladin	1	Secret: When your opponent plays a minion, reduce its Health to 1. Repentance often comes in the moment before obliteration. Curious.
Blessed Champion	Rare	Paladin	5	Double a minion's Attack. This card causes double the trouble AND double the fun.
Divine Favor	Rare	Paladin	3	Draw cards until you have as many in hand as your opponent. This is not just a favor, but a divine one, like helping someone move a couch with a fold out bed!
Equality	Rare	Paladin	2	Change the Health of ALL minions to 1. We are all special unique snowflakes... with 1 Health.
Holy Wrath	Rare	Paladin	5	Draw a card and deal damage equal to its cost. C'mon Molten Giant!!
Avenging Wrath	Epic	Paladin	6	Deal 8 damage randomly split among enemy characters. Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham!
Lay on Hands	Epic	Paladin	8	Restore #8 Health. Draw 3 cards. A grammatically awkward life saver.
Holy Smite	Free	Priest	1	Deal 2 damage. It doesn't matter how pious you are. Everyone needs a good smiting now and again.

Draw a card. Sure the extra protection is nice, but the shield really reduces visibility.
Shadow Word: Pain	Free	Priest	2	Destroy a minion with 3 or less Attack. A step up from a spell cast by many beginning acolytes: "Shadow Word: Annoy".
Circle of Healing	Common	Priest	0	Restore #4 Health to ALL minions. It isn't really a circle.
Divine Spirit	Common	Priest	2	Double a minion's Health. Double the trouble. Double the fun!
Holy Nova	Common	Priest	5	Deal 2 damage to all enemies. Restore #2 Health to all friendly characters. If the Holy Light forsakes you, good luck casting this spell. Also, you're probably a jerk.
Inner Fire	Common	Priest	1	Change a minion's Attack to be equal to its Health. Good idea: Buffing your minions. Bad idea: Starting a conversation in the Barrens.

Conceal	Common	Rogue	1	Give your minions Stealth until your next turn. Rogues conceal everything but their emotions. You can't get 'em to shut up about feelings.
Eviscerate	Common	Rogue	2	Deal 2 damage. Combo: Deal 4 damage instead. There is a high cost to Eviscerating your opponent: It takes a long time to get blood stains out of leather armor.

Shadowstep	Common	Rogue	0	Return a friendly minion to your hand. It costs (2) less. Rogue dance troops will sometimes Shadowstep away at the end of a performance. Crowds love it.
