Hearthstone 4 drops with deathrattle1/23/2024 ![]() ![]() The reason deathrattle is such a strong ability because it inherently fights against removal and minion combat, which is the nature of the game. However, when that 6/5 for six is a beast in the Hunter class that gives you two 2/2 bodies (that are also beasts!) it pushes it from good to incredible. The card that is singlehandedly responsible for the existence of any non-face Hunter deck, Savannah Highmane may very well be one of the best cards of all time (along with every card on this list). That was very important for most of the decks that teamed up with the arachnid, such as Aggrodin and Zoo. In addition, it also gave two bodies upon death instead of one. ![]() Yes, its attack is much worse than Totem Golem, but sticky bodies are almost always better than a single shell. However, it was actually better than that because it was three bodies instead of just one. It is hard to make a 1/2 for two to good, but very few cards have ever held down a board better than the spider.Ĭreeper earns number nine because it lived by a very simple rule: if you wanted early minions you played the spider. This card was apart of Token Druid, Flood Paladin, Zoo, Midrange Hunter, Aggro Hunter, and pretty much any deck that wanted some sort of early game presence. While the egg did push Zoo into the stratosphere, and while it was a key piece of a lot of aggressive decks, Creeper was loved by many more classes and for many more reasons. Just above its 0/2 brother, Haunted Creeper gets the nod to nine because it saw much more play than Nerubian Egg. There were a ton of options to give this attack, from Abusive Sergeant to Blessing of Kings to Rockbiter Weapon to Defender of Argus, and they all gave you a 4/4 after you dealt with the first minion. There are a ton of buffs in Hearthstone, but they are primarily held back by the fact that if the minion you use it on dies, you lose board presence (and thus card advantage). Zoo was the primary suspect for cracking the shell open, but the 0/2 also saw plenty of play in Paladin, Druid and Shaman. The fact you could buff the first half of the egg is what really pushed this card from good to great to unbelievable. It is very rare to see a card with so much power packed in such a small body, and there is a chance Blizzard will never print something this strong ever again. Power Overwhelming on this card gave you a chance to get a 4/6 that turned into 4/4, netting you 8/10 worth or power for two cards and three mana. ![]() As a result, it would be much better to see this card as a 4/6 that could also be buffed to get even higher (take that Millhouse Manastorm!). Nerubian Egg is a 4/4 for two that also come equipped with a 0/2 body that can be buffed to trade into other minions. Our list begins with one of the strongest two drops ever printed. However, as strong as it is, the fast, five health meta killed it off for over a year. 8/10 worth of stats for six is some of the best value the game has ever seen. The 4/5 was one of the best cards during the early days and it continues to be a very strong sticky minion for decks all across Hearthstone. Cairne Bloodhoof, one of the most powerful midrange minions in the history of the game, is confined to the honorable mentions. Just a classic case of good, but not good enough.Ĭairne, you might say. This card may seem very innocent but it was a very important piece of midrange Hunter and acted as one of the strongest one drops for a long time. A one drop that supplies a body, a card and also interacts with beast synergy is just incredibly strong. We start our honorable mentions out with a card that was an absolute Hunter staple for its entirety in the game. Webspinner just oozes value. When it comes to abilities, there is no doubt which one is king. This week is getting close to the Top 10 cards of all time territory. While some strong minions have battlecry or divine shield, man, oh, man have there have been some serious beaters with deathrattle. This week we cover deathrattle, the most annoying and most powerful ability that has ever graced this game. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to OP week! While we have covered some strong decks in the past, none have come anywhere close to the power level of this list. ![]()
