In this article, we will review the new cards coming on Tuesday, January 13th. Remember that we are very good at evaluating cards once we see them being played live, but without data, the process becomes educated guessing. Keep that in mind.
Our next Data Reaper Report for Standard is scheduled for Thursday, January 22nd.
We’ve assessed cards based on their potential strength and scored them accordingly from 1 to 4 based on the guidelines below.
4- Meta-defining, or an extremely powerful card we have great confidence will see play. Translation: Busted!
3- Very strong card that we’re confident will see play. Translation: Nice!
2- Decent, or niche card with potential to see play. Translation: Okay!
1- A card we don’t believe will see competitive play, for whatever reason. Translation: Meh!
Death Knight-Demon Hunter-Druid
We’ll see you again soon!

After testing, it turns out that with Acceleration Aura, you do get 3 activations of the aura per card. Playing on 4, you have 6 mana on 5, 7 on 6 and 8 on 7. I agree that this is not how auras have worked in the past, but, well, consistency is not one of Hearthstone’s characteristics. Note that the extra mana also stacks, so if you have two auras active, you get two extra mana, as expected.
Another miniset not worth buying it seems..
