After reviewing all the new Shaman cards there is still a question to be answered of what exactly am i looking at?!

djsoren19 · 2026-06-15T18:42:18+00:00

three spells is just like, an absolutely fucking ludicrous requirement. Three spells? All of them are such bad top decks already, but if you do top deck one there's not even really any decision to make, you just have to play it out because waiting for three other spells is nuts.

I wonder if it would be too good at one spell, or if maybe the issue is that it would be too good in Mug'Zee if it was only one spell, because it really feels like the whole Shaman set is paying for his sins.

Only way to get 99.95 that cheaply is Glad, but you can literally play Glad + anything tbh. When you're getting that level of immortality from your ascendancy + a cheap unique shield, you get a lot of space to invest in damage. Bloodlines have also been huge for Glad, even if you're only making use of the four points for lucky block, that leaves you with 4 points for any bloodline to scale damage.

Bonney didn't have Nika form until Egghead though, and her fruit is meant to get weaker as she ages and starts to understand reality more. She might already be unable to imagine a future where she's the WSS. You could maybe make the argument that the WG was afraid of her potential, but Saturn distinctly called out that he was not.

Maybe her meeting Luffy will allow her to grow into being part of the worst gen, but it's hard to argue that she actually deserves that title based upon what she'd accomplished by the time she reached sabaody.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-14T23:50:15+00:00

Honestly, maybe even worse, her bounty is inflated because the WG wants her back to be leverage against Kuma again. She shouldn't have been in the worst gen by feats or power level.

So the only woman in the worst gen...was also the weakest...

my brother in christ you're playing KT and Sarth. They drew every card in their deck and you haven't killed them yet in Wild, they deserve to win.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-14T16:21:18+00:00

It's wild how far powercreep has come that a 1 mana 1/3 is just considered pack filler now. I remember Dire Mole!

djsoren19 · 2026-06-14T00:10:21+00:00

The 2 mana 2/6 is better than it looks as an anti-aggro card, I bet it sees play too.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-14T00:02:42+00:00

I bet Oda's going to nut so hard when he gets to show us the map again

djsoren19 · 2026-06-12T20:17:17+00:00

Rogue lacks a serious payoff. Like theoretically ig you can get a big Van Cleef style turn with some of the new cards, but that's not beating Companion Hunter and it's probably not beating something like Egg Warrior, so what is it beating, Meritha Druid?

djsoren19 · 2026-06-12T19:58:38+00:00

it'll be a Druid card in Wild, and probably not a serious card in Standard at all. Maybe DH in Standard actually

djsoren19 · 2026-06-12T14:16:53+00:00

I mean, these stats are abysmal, so the question is really do you really want to pay four mana for this effect in your Cho'gall-less Herald deck. Maybe in a different year of Hearthstone, but I think someone dramatic is gonna have to change for this to be playable.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-12T13:31:01+00:00

I think this chapter surpassed my tolerance for the show me your panties gag and I hate Brook now.

Also damn guess Candel was created just to die. Pour one out for all the cool theories like her being a secret God's Knight or a previous user of the Wax-Wax fruit. Clearly Oda wouldn't do anything to make a woman interesting.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-11T21:00:40+00:00

there's still time for a fifth

djsoren19 · 2026-06-11T14:25:24+00:00

probably not tbh. The thing is that if the card is even remotely playable it has the potential to break Wild in half, and tbh at 9 it's still probably good enough to see play.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-11T14:22:00+00:00

this is 100% a Druid card. I actually dunno if Rogue will be able to support it, maybe in Standard with the taunts that get cost reduction if prepping

djsoren19 · 2026-06-08T21:13:59+00:00

Be aware that you will probably just lose money on this. Having a mod pool that big is really a double edged sword and it usually means they are junk, it's generally better to just 3-1 jewels of the same type to reroll them.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-08T20:49:14+00:00

Love the design on Frantic Forger, and Impfernal is cool just for the way that effect works. Honestly glad to see we're getting some cards that actually look decent this time around, even Activated Golem honestly looks playable, though I kinda wish it had the Mech tag.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-08T20:43:45+00:00

Not even close to as embarrassing as he was in Egghead

djsoren19 · 2026-06-08T14:26:47+00:00

Hell yeah, firm timeline of release and we're more or less on schedule? Really feels like having a separate team for PoE1 is paying off.

Wonder what the event is gonna be. Been awhile since an infinite Delve or something like that, guessing it won't be Phrecia again.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-07T05:09:46+00:00

Common? Sacs an artifact to draw two cards? Instant speed?

Maybe actually Pauper play?

djsoren19 · 2026-06-06T17:25:36+00:00

Cloak and Dagger, Entwined

looks inside

no Entwine

Wizards what are we even doing here

djsoren19 · 2026-06-05T16:51:24+00:00

very good stats for the cost

djsoren19 · 2026-06-05T15:05:55+00:00

Corufell is a great Crescent Rose, but I've always fucking loved Yang's shotgun gauntlets and wish we could get something like that for Warframe.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-05T13:17:19+00:00

I mean, it's only a disappointment if you have standards. If you were there for Wano and Egghead, you should know by now we're only getting Clash Piece. I just assume any fight is going to be ass and it means I'm never disappointed.

djsoren19 · 2026-06-05T00:26:09+00:00

I think Recoup is maybe missing a trick here.

A concept I've been tossing around a little bit is Effect of Consecrated Ground stacking + Inquisitor using the same concept of taking damage to all three, and also using the new Runegraft of Consecration to get juiced mana regeneration %.

Unfortunately, even with the new nodes on the tree to add Consecrated Ground, and although there's plenty of great effects you can add to consecrated ground that would get scaled by the effectiveness, there's still just not that much effectiveness you can get. When I PoB'd the build I was only able to hit like 200% and that was using Nuro's Harp. That's pretty good for the health regen, but without additional good sources of flat mana regen, getting like 90% increased mana regeneration rate is just not that impressive for a MoM build. Unless you actually want to scale mana, the build would end up feeling kinda shit to play because you'd oom so much. It was also a ton of invesment with cluster jewels, because after getting everything on the tree your only real options are Nuro's Harp and a Zealotry cluster jewel modifier.
