Rise of Shadows Mana Curve Breakdown All Classes

Wanted to see the mana curve for the new expansion so I plotted it out.

Thought someone else may enjoy so here you go.

Edit: can't get this working so you can view it here

Oh boy, that's a ton of late game.

thanks for your service, this is interesting

It seems that Team 5 is trying to move HS gameplay to a more value based game, instead of heavily relay on aggro/tempo solutions.

I would love if the entire game shift more toward long-term plans instead of ending at turn 5 or 6 because of smorc.

Yes and no. They give a lot of heal/end game but in same times push aggro for at least 4 classes so its like the meta will be aggro vs control. No tempo and no combo anymore.

I think you will also see some fusion decks which have more than one win condition. Take for instance the mage conjurer variant. You could call it a combo deck when you hit giants etc. you win. If you hit on an insane spell refill turn with cyclone you could start a tempo play. And then you could win the late game using fireballs and Antonidas.

Add some more freezing to it (like a lot have done to improve it) and you gain more "control" aspects...stalling the game for a few turns so you can unleash your conjurer spells. But still, aggro will remain popular because if you win you win fast :) and with the mech-astation of late aggro gets a boost using the magnetic stuff which when in control of the board can turn any mech into a charge minion.

I wouldn't take this as a long-term goal. It can change in a heartbeat when the next expansion drops.
