Two new cards revealed: Savage Combatant and Clockwork Knight

MOAR TGT Cards! A new mech and the first TGT druid card revealed.

The reveals just keep pouring in. With 132  new cards in total it doesn't seem like Blizzard has any problem with just pouring them out. This time it is IGN getting to reveal two previously unseen cards.

With [Card]Savage Combatant[/card] Druid continues to be proposed as the class that uses beasts without being overly aggressive. 5/4 stats are not really impressive, however the Inspire effect is one of the more aggressive ones we have seen so far. It can be played at 6 mana as a 5/4 that deals 3 damage on summon, effectively a small fire elemental. It also curves wonderfully with a turn 4 [card]Maiden of the Lake[/card] allowing the Druid to utilize the very anti-aggressive stats of the Maiden against lower drops and still have a strong move against bigger threats like [card]Piloted Shredder[/card]. Overall it is probably the most intriguing Inspire effect we have seen so far.

It should of course also be noted that this card will become a possible spawn out of Webspinner, allowing hunters to get even more aggressive with their hero power - as if they needed that.

[card]Clockwork Knight[/card] comes off as an interesting card. Its stats are perfect and its effect is immediate. Usually the recipe for a good card. We haven’t had any really solid 5 mana mechs avaliable for an actual value play, with the only options before being [card]Fel Reaver[/card], [card]Blingtron 3000[/card] and [card]Antique Healbot[/card]. Cards that are either too volatile for use or not relevant for a tempo deck like Mechs. Now every mech deck has access to a solid 5 drop with all the benefits from cards like [card]Mechwarper[/card] or [card]Powermace[/card] but without any of the significant risks or randomness that plagued previous 5 drops.

It is also nice that it is common, keeping mechs one of the most accessible decks out there even for players who can't afford to invest a lot of money into hearthstone.
