New Card Soul Split Accidentally Leaked in Press Release?

Submitted 4 years, 1 month ago by
When looking through the Skull of Gul'Dan press release video, it looks as though we got to see one of the cards not revealed otherwise. It appears to be a 4-mana (before discount) spell with the text shown. Just a head's up for those interested. 

The screenshot is on the tweet I sent a bit ago at https://twitter.com/SunsetAlchemist/status/1240011862080618502?s=20

    Lol, I couldn't actually see the link paste the first time... Sorry for the messiness! It's just the part at the bottom of the post.

    Not really a big fan of another class recycling Warlock spells

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    It does look as though there will be a lot of overlap with Warlocks/demon synergies. The class seems to be a hybrid of hunter smorc, warlock demons and sacrifice mechanics, and maybe priest clears?

    I'd say it's a Warlock/Rogue hybrid (lots of self-damage with limited healing but big card draws and tempo plays) and the gaps are filled with leftover Warrior, Druid and Hunter synergies.

    So far it doesn't really feel like it's its own class but rather just an amalgamation of ditched mechanics (their main selling point is literally an abandoned Druid theme. Gonk should have chosen a different team I guess).

    On the other hand it's at least good to see that those mechanics might get time to shine in a class that's actually dedicated to them.

    I really don't like the focus on demons though it just seems to similar to Warlock. Druid and Hunter both use BEasts, but they feel very distinct from each other, meanwhile it's like "Oh hey you like Big Demons? So do I."

    Most of the Demon stuff could have been printed for Warlock and you wouldn't even notice it.

    That's a good point. I was focusing on the smorc aspect of hunter, but rogue does seem to have more similarities.

    On a different note, I'm curious if their hero power will be upgrade-able with Justicar Trueheart, and if so, will it be 2 damage for 1 mana, or something else? If so, will Sir Finley of the Sands be able to discover an upgraded hero power for Demon Hunter?

    Lot's of questions... :D But for now, I'm just happy to potentially know another card!

    Yes, Justicar Trueheart and Baku the Mooneater upgrade your Hero Power to "+2 Attack this turn" for 1 mana.

    Linkblade91, that would be what I would hope/expect, but has it been confirmed?

    I wonder if existing heroes and cards get new voicelines relating to Illian.

    Neferian needs one :)

    And Tyrande and Malfurion surely :)

    All generalizations are false.

    Linkblade91, awesome!! Thank you!

    And og0, yes they definitely need voice-lines for him! It would really surprise me if they don't have them.

    Genn gives you memes XD of course your hero power already costs 1 so..

    Baku looks really powerful, here's a reason to play wild huh..

    I wonder if they initially decided on releasing DH this year instead of the last cause they had baku in mind and since baku should've rotated now..

    It'll be kind of like the overlap of beast synergies between Hunter and Druid I guess but for Demons.
