The reveal season for Mean Streets of Gadgetzan is in full swing, with 132 cards set to be revealed in Hearthstones next expansion. Will Priest be a playable deck? Will Midrange Shaman stop making us cry? Will we finally get a Control Hunter? Why does Harrison Jones destroy things he thinks belong in a museum?With 132 cards to review -- 131 after our Grimestreet Pawnbroker card reveal -- we better skip the exposition and get moving with the first big chunk.Lets start out with the class that needed the most help: Priest. I doubt it was coincidental that Blizzard very quickly showed off some powerful Priest cards, given how little-used the class has been in competitive Hearthstone in the past six months or so.Suffice it to say, both Control and Dragon Priests get a lot to bite into here.Potion of Madness is a cut-rate Shadow Madness, which does the same thing for a minion with three or less attack, but one mana vs. four mana is a very serious discount. Control Priests have trouble in the early game and ramming an enemys 2/3 into a 3/2 or stealing a Loot Hoarder and drawing a card for one mana can be quite useful. Probably not a two-of.Pint-Size Potion is another utility card, one that manipulates the board to give interaction with other key Priest cards, such as Shadow Word: Pain, Cabal Shadow Priest, Potion of/Shadow Madness, or the little-played Shadow Word: Horror.Kabal Talonpriest gives Priest a strong three-drop that buffs health, similar to the Dark Cultist, a 3/4 that gave a minion the health after it died. Here you get the health up front and while Dark Cultist wasnt always played it was never poor.Drakonid Operative and Dragonfire Potion are essentially love letters to Dragon Priest. A five-mana 5/6 is playable on its own, but being able to Discover a card from your opponent is a valuable effect up until you hit fatigue. Most Discover cards give you some sort of random selection while selecting from your opponents deck ensures a higher quality of card. Else they wouldnt have put the card in their deck in the first place! Dragonfire Potion gives Priest a truly powerful board clear thats been missing since Lightbomb rotated and its even playable in Control Priest, which needs a catchup mechanism and is happily playing Excavated Evil as it is.And here were have three defensive tools for Warrior. I Know a Guy isnt the sexiest effect, but there are a lot of times early on against very aggressive decks in which a Warrior really needs a Taunt card early so they can start building up the armor totals. A one-of when the meta commands it.Stolen Goods gives a Warrior using Taunt minions an additional tool to buff them early. Non-aggressive builds of Warrior dont always have Fiery War Axe on Turn 2 (I swear Im not lying) and rather than just taking the two armor, activating a Fierce Monkey into a 6/7 on Turn 3 is a worthwhile turn.One of the cards it can enable is the Alley Armorsmith, expensive for the stats but a great stalling tool that will either block attacks and restore health or eat a removal spell. The latters not so bad for a Control Warrior since those builds tend to run giant threats; youll come out ahead in the long run if your opponent is spending resources to remove this card rather than Ragnaros or Grommash Hellscream.One new mechanic in MSG is the tri-class cards, cards that can be played by three of the games nine classes, keeping with storyline theme of three competing factions.Grimestreet Smuggler is a bit understated as a three mana 2/4 and while the effect gives a de facto 3/5 worth of stats if you have a hand, its a bonus thats a bit difficult to control and when you cant control an effect, it has to be extremely overpowered to be worthwhile (hello, Yogg-Saron). This one isnt.The Grimestreet Informant, Lotus Agents, and Kabal Courier have a lot in common in that theyre straight Discover cards for the three classes in which you can play them. I think the Informant is the most likely to see play, simply because its early enough that the tempo loss to Discover a class card is hardly fatal. Its about equal to the Jeweled Scarab, which discovers a three-drop - class cards tend to be better, but Scarabs ability to guarantee an on-curve play on three is quite underrated.The Kabal Courier is trickier to play on three, though will probably see some Arena play in Priest and Warlock (the Mage is less inclined since it already has access to Mage class cards, which are the best of the three). Lotus Agents? Probably not at all. By Turn 5, playing a card that can be dealt with by many two-drops isnt worth the Discover. Youd have to flip the stats for this to be playable.Kazakus is an interesting card and one thats hard to evaluate due to its novel effect, similar to Reno Jackson in League of Explorers. Essentially, you make your own spell, first choosing whether to make a one-cost, five-cost, or ten-cost spell and then Discover two effects out of the ten offered. The spells are less valuable than the mana; the benefit is, however, that you get to tailor the spell to the exact situation. Im already thinking of a Kazakus/Renolock deck. Custom Larry Bird Jersey . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. Paul Pierce Jersey Large .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras. http://www.customcelticsjersey.com/custom-danny-ainge-jersey-large-197e.html . Marincin has played in two NHL games so far this season with two penalty minutes. The 21-year-old has three goals, four assists and a plus-5 rating in 24 games with the American Hockey Leagues Oklahoma City Barons this season. Custom Reggie Lewis Jersey . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. Custom Dennis Johnson Jersey . How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif. Evergreen Australia skipper Cameron Smith claims he feels fitter than ever and has no plans to call time on his glittering representative career just yet.The 33-year-old will make his 49th appearance in the green and gold on Sunday against New Zealand in the Four Nations final - 10 behind Darren Lockyers record.With the Rugby League World Cup in Australia just 11 months away, theres a real possibility Cooper Cronk, Matt Scott, Greg Inglis, wholl all be over 30 when the tournament kicks off, could follow Johnathan Thurston into representative retirement.Smith admits hes unlikely to play again in England after Sundays Four Nations decider against New Zealand at Anfield, but is open-minded about the possibility of playing on after next years showpiece and eclipsing Lockyers milestone.I think Ill just carry on playing, Smith said.I havent really looked to the future and put an end date on my representative career. Its a huge year next year, having a World Cup on home soil.I want to give myself every opportunity to be involved in that and after that tournaments finished theres a whole off season to think about continuing on the following year.Im still contracted to the Stormm in 2018.dddddddddddd Ill probably think about that after next year.I am sort of doing the opposite to other players, I am as fit and as strong as I have ever been.Probably because I look after myself a bit better now. I eat a fair bit less junk food.Physically I feel great and mentally I am enjoying the game as much as at any other time in my career.Despite being on his fourth Kangaroos tour of the UK, Smith said he feels as pumped as he did ahead of his first in 2009 when he scored a late try to earn a 20-all draw with New Zealand in the opening match - the only match on English soil hes not tasted victory in.Im still excited to get a jersey and have my name read out at the start of each week when Mal names the team, he said.Its a bit more difficult now because Ive got three young kids and my wife at home and its hard to leave those guys for six weeks.I love spending time with my family.But as far as playing and being around the team and playing in great stadiums and having victories, its still as enjoyable as when I debuted back in 2006.
