Lead Game Designer Ben Brode revealed the two Neutral cards on Hearthstone's Taiwanese Twitch channel.
It's been two days since the announcement of Hearthstone's upcoming adventure, One Night in Karazhan, but the steady flow of new cards keeps on going. Whereas yesterday two class minions were shown, today two Neutral cards cashed in their invitation to Medivh's party. First up is Book Wyrm, a Neutral rare dragon. Its effect is reminiscent of [card]Rend Blackhand[/card], although Book Wyrm's stats are far better for its cost. Book Wyrm looks for a place in a more Control version of Dragon-oriented decks, but the question is whether in the current state of the game a Dragon Control deck can find its way. Dragon Warrior is one of the strongest decks at the moment, but has a more aggressive nature. Moreover, it already has a strong 6-drop that suits its nature more: [card]Drakonid Crusher[/card]. One also has to wonder what minion with 3 attack or less will be up on the board by turn 6, and is threatening enough for it to demand removal.
The second card to be revealed is legendary minion Moroes, a servant of Medivh. It's end-of-the-turn effect is somewhat similar to [card]Hogger[/card], with the downside of Moroes being that he summons 1/1's without taunt, but with the upside of Moroes having stealth. The Stewards summoned by Moroes could become pesky over time, yet still it will be hard for Moroes to immediately find its place in the meta. Having only 1 health makes it incredibly easy to remove, even with stealth. With Warriors (running [card]Ravaging Ghoul[/card]) and Token Druids (running [card]Swipe[/card]) found everywhere, let alone Shamans that have a copy of [card]Lightning Storm[/card], Moroes is killed easily. Some combination with [card]Steward of Darkshire[/card] might make it more sticky, but Moroes probably would have benefitted most from [card]Hobgoblin[/card], had the latter been still in Standard.
