Denizens of Shim'zar Card Reveal Gallery [+Allomancer, +Pax, +Dreadnought, +Wild Inceptor]

[thematsjo]

I don’t know about you but I always appreciate those grand collection threads some people create to help keep an overview of all the currently available information on some new phenomenon. Denizens of Shim’zar doesn’t currently have on of those, and for all the leaked information it’s best to check out this amazing reddit thread detailing pretty much everything! So instead I decided to limit my scope a bit and post all of the officially revealed cards exclusively here so anyone can easily access them without wondering if they’ve missed a new reveal. I’ll update the title when necessary.

So until Shim’zar drops on the 31st enjoy this little gallery I’ve set up!

CP has revealed that DoS is going to contain 105 new cards consisting of 96 actual ones and 11 Tokens, we’ve seen that there are at least 3 Legendaries for each of the factions, and we’ve seen 1 Artifact and 1 Battle Pet revealed for Factions so far. The Faction Artifacts revealed so far have been Legendaries, and the Faction Battle Pets have been Rares (Neutral Battle Pets seem to be getting one of each rarity). Besides the Artifacts, each Faction seems to be getting a Legendary 8-Mana Spell and an archetype-support Legendary minion (Kron is a Neutral one). Each Faction is getting 13 new cards, and there will be 16 new Neutral cards (excluding season monthlies). All this leads me to suspect this kind of layout for the expansion’s structures:

For Factions

Common
‘1’
‘2’
‘3’
‘4’

Rare
‘Battle Pet’
‘2’
‘3’

Epic
‘1’
‘2’
‘3’

Legendary
‘Artifact’
‘Fat Spell’
‘Archetype Support Minion’

For Neutral Cards

Common
‘Battle Pet’
‘2’
‘3’
‘4’

Rare
‘Battle Pet’
‘2’
‘3’
‘4’

Epic
‘Battle Pet’
‘2’
‘3’
‘4’

Legendary
‘Battle Pet’
‘Archetype Support Minion’
‘3’
‘4’

And a little poll to boot:

Are you planning to spend money on Denizens of Shim’zar (DoS) Orbs?

• Yes, but only the Pre-Order Pack.
• Yes, the Pre-Order Pack and maybe more.
• Yes, but only Orb (Packs).
• Yes, but I’m not sure how.
• Maybe, I’m not convinced by the value proposition (yet).
• Maybe, I’m not sure I can afford to.
• Maybe, I don’t usually buy things in F2P games.
• No, I prefer to spend Gold to get Orbs (for players who do spend money on cosmetics).
• No, I’m a 100% F2P player.
• No, I’m not spending money on DoS (for other reasons).
• I haven’t made up my mind yet all.

You the man, <3 for the thread

[futthewuk]

I am so frustrated by the lack of Magmar reveals. Why cp, why do you hate me!

[thematsjo]

I’m sure they’re just counting on your Aspect-like patience T____T.

On that note: where be muh Lyonar CP, loveth ye only Vanar and Vetruvian players?

[phayze]

Ive always believed that Lyonar armour was made of shiny cheese :3

[barang]

thanks for summary

[perix]

So many strong cards with so much potential… Do you guys think that there will be some power creep? Or is it just something of my mind?

[locoblutaxt]

I wonder if Magmar gets it’s own expansion…

[thematsjo]

I don’t really think so; the only suspect cards in my book are Inquisitor Kron and Battle Panddo. Songhai could really use a bump imo, so only Kron has the potential to really push 5-drops in this game. And even Kron has to compete with some very strong 5-drops like Paragon and Zen’rui. What cards are you worried about?

[connery0]

Krons minions only have 2 health so without provoke, pretty much any 2 drop would shut his real power down

[zerafut]

his real power is to have an insane body paired with the ability to generate insane value.

provoke is just way overdone. Like Yodaprime said, the only reason why he has provoke is to shut him down with hollow grovekeeper.

[connery0]

Pretty much, and we all agree that he has INFINITE VALUE too…

obviously the keywords give them more power if they activate, but unlike zrix you don’t have as easy/cheap ways to give them more health (obelisks for BB)

[lordofpomegranates]

i like kron as he is a slower minion that pumps out power over time, this game plan favors slower decks which seem to be lacking as of now. Maybe the addition of the 8 mana spells and some more slow minions will push the meta to be more control based rather than burst mid-range.

[ziel]

@thematsjo Pretty sure Fiz is Lyonar rather than neutral?

[thematsjo]

By Jove you are correct; will fix.

[polinchi]

Those cards actually make me want to start playing vet. They all look so great.

Strong cards in everyfaction though, like it

[thematsjo]

CP’s really rocking this expansion so far

[thematsjo]

Aaaand Magmar gets some belated love!

[kratos88]

Don’t know if it’s just me, but there are only 4 Vetruvian cards on the list. The one summoning wind dervishes near obelysks is missing.

And I also got one question concerning Lava Lance: isn’t that card “unfair” in direct comparison with True Strike? So far, every card in the game, that has an upside in comparison to a similar card, also has a downside. This is the first time (I think) where this is not the case. It would be fair, if it would be like "1 damage and 4 when you have an egg. But in this case, when you have no egg, there is no disadvantage compared to True Strike.

[michelangelo]

It has a cost of having an egg on the board. With the rebirth mechanic rework (eggs hatch at the beginning of your turn) this means, that you either have to play something like Chrysalis Burst (lol) or suicide your minion, leaving an egg for the enemy general to kill.
