Hearthstone Journey to Un’Goro: Awaken the Makers

Hello everybody, Geek Generation here. Blizzard has announced that the next Hearthstone expansion is Journey to Un’Goro. Along with the announcement, they also reveal some cards to showcase the new mechanics.

Of the revealed cards, i’m most excited about the quest cards. At first glance, it’s easy to assume that Amara would replace the role of Reno Jackson quite nicely. But that is not the case. The requirement to play 7 Deathrattle minions would mean that Amara is unlikely to see play even on turn 8.

The other reason it doesn’t replace Reno Jackson directly is mainly because existing decks that use Reno Jackson are highlander decks. And the highlander requirement would have to remain if the Priest player intends to continue to use Raza and Kazakus. If the Priest decides to do this, then the number of good Deathrattle minions in the deck would go down. That would make it harder to Awaken the Makers.

Considering that Sylvanas and Museum Curator are leaving Standard too, it would seem Amara would not be joining the ranks of Raza and Kazakus. Pure N’Zoth decks would love to have her though.

Ok so much for now, Geek Generation out.
