In addition to this, even though Hand of Fate and Mystery Box are generally random, you are still likely to swing the game in your favor due to the power of random spells. While Yogg-Saron’s half of Yogg’s effects are more random (Curse of Flesh, Hand of Fate, and Mysterybox), the other half of the wheel (Devouring Hunger, and Mindflayer Goggles) are nigh-guaranteed to swing any board in your favor. Despite being in the game for only only a month, Yogg-Saron, Master of Fates has been included in multiple decks and allows players the opportunity to break otherwise losing games wide open in their favor. In a triumphant return for capturing the true essence of Hearthstone, Yogg-Saron’s newest iteration brings an exciting way to alter the outcome of each match.

1) Yogg-Saron, Master of Fates Image via Blizzard Entertainment Unless Druid receives even more potent ramp in the following year, expect to see Overgrowth in a majority of Druid decks going forward in Standard. Since the average turn this is casted is turn four, it allows the class to accelerate to seven mana, which helps enable other cards like Bog Beam and Ironbark. For only one more mana than Wild Growth, the effect is doubled, providing an insane amount of ramp which helps later-turn plays occur sooner than expected. Introduced in Ashes of Outland, Overgrowth has solidified Druid’s direction for ramp going forward throughout the year. As the best dual-class card from Scholomance Academy, Lightning Bloom deserves recognition as one of the most impactful cards of 2020. While the opportunity cost is something players must note, it can usually be circumvented by accruing a massive lead due to the two mana advantage you used. Lightning Bloom brought back Druid’s pre-nerfed Innervate at an immense price of not having access to the same amount of mana on the following turn due to Overload.

5) Lightning Bloom Image via Blizzard EntertainmentĪs the final dual-class card to appear on the list, Lightning Bloom has encapsulated the themes of both of its classes, Druid and Shaman, in addition to being a high power level of a card in its own right. While Paladin will lose some potent Pure Paladin tools, like Lightforged Crusader and Zealot, in the following Hearthstone year, Aldor Attendant looks to be a consistent force for the class for the remainder of Year of the Phoenix and beyond. Once buffed to only costing one mana, Aldor Attendant gave the class something it was sorely lacking: a proactive one-drop.Īside from its fine stats for its cost and its ability to make future Librams less expensive, the Attendant is also a fine target for buffs on the class’ curve, like Hand of A’dal and Blessing of Authority. 8) Lord BarovĪs the only card on the list to receive a buff, Aldor Attendant has helped push Paladin forward to its current viability in Standard. When used by Warlock, Y’Shaarj allows multiple uses of Tickatus and Cascading Disaster, which can burn multiple cards from the opponent’s deck while destroying their board at the same time.Įven if he’s not the most popular of the Old Gods, this retrained version of the largest god has overall been an exciting reimagining of his previous self. In Shaman, Y’Shaarj brings the potential to deal an overbearing amount of damage due to the ability to garner multiple copies of Dunk Tank and Circus Medic and blast the opponent for lots of damage. While his success has been specific to mainly Warlock and Shaman, Y’Shaarj’s impact on the meta has been apparent already. According to HSReplay, in the initial weeks of the new set, Y’Shaarj and Yogg-Saron have been the two most-played cards of the expansion.

As one of the more recent cards on the list, the newest iteration of one of the Old Gods has had an explosive start ever since Madness at the Darkmoon Faire’s official release over a month ago.
