Mammoth of a New Year

The party is here! Work together with another player to decorate the tavern and kickoff a grand New Year of Hearthstone.

How it Works

• No deck creation this time, you get to play as either Valeera the Rogue or Malfurion the Druid – chosen at random when the game starts.
• If either of you get low, try and toss some heals out. Use them wisely!
• The game ends when one of you die. Don’t die!

Phase 1

• Your initial goal is for you and your partner to decorate the party. You do this by using your Hero Power to add decorations.
• The Hero Power uses all your currently available Mana to go towards the decorations. In total, you must spend 25 mana together.
• In this phase, Party Crashers (4 mana 3/5 with Taunt) will spawn each turn. They attack face so deal with them.
• Once the party has been decorated, a Boss (Pinata Golem) will spawn. He cannot be targeted by spells.
• Don’t use all your hard removal in this phase. The crashers are pretty easy to deal with and don’t hurt as hard as they do in Phase 2!

Phase 2

• The boss spawns! He has 85 Health that you must take out together with your partner.
• Your hero power has changed! You can now spend 2 mana to deal 3 damage to the boss.
• The Party Crashers continue to spawn but now.. now they gain +2/+2!
• Do not under any circumstance fill your board. You want to have a slot open, otherwise, you get board cleared to make room the boss.
• Sometimes you will receive a treat when attacking the Pinata. These can help you draw cards, heal, or destroy Party Crashers.
• There is an AoE that goes out which deals 2 damage to everything that isn’t a Party Crasher. Seems to happen either early on or later.

New Cards

It was really fun to hear your take on the new cards on your last stream. I’m really looking forward to hearing your experience next week with the new cards. First deck for me will be a hunter quest with a ton of one drops and synergize with Stampede to help generate some additional late game threats. Good luck with your pack openings!

PS I’m a past legend player who doesn’t have the time with a 1 year old daughter chasing the dogs but still loves to play.
