Today we are reviewing one of the better heroes from
the
set. He's an orc, like yesterday's hero, but he
actually benefits from Warmaster Hork, as well as
the Hidden Heroe's quest card. His flip effect is
also actually usable. His talent spec let's him use
Stormstrike, a very good card for his deck build. If
you happen to run Windfury weapon in a solo Shaman
deck, you can attack 4 times in one turn (attack,
windfury weapon, flip effect, stormstrike). If you
also run Rak, you can attack several times a turn,
providing you have the resources. The biggest
drawback of Haruka is that he doesn't get to use
Mana Tide Totem, but if you run him solo (maybe
running Rak and Hork as your only allies), you
really wouldn't get much use out of the Totem
anyway. Shock and Sooth also gives him Grennan's
ability, and at a lower cost.
Sealed: 5/5 (The use of Windfury Weapon, which I got
during the sneak peak and totally dominated with,
and stormstrike make him devastating in this
format.)
Constructed: 4.5/5 (He's definitely one of the
better heroes from the new set. A solo deck build
around him can be devastating.)
Casual: 4.5/5
Raid: 3/5 (Onyxia will probably destroy his
equipment before he get's too much use out of it.
But he can still pull off some decent attacks.)
Lazy Peon: 3.5/5 (An excellent hero choice, but the
lack of Windfury weapon and Stromstrike hurt him.)
Red Comet
Haruka Skycaller
Another Hero Today and one that really doesn't make
Shamans any better. For a cost 2 she does what other
allies do for 1 and she's limited to Melee weapons.
If you're running shamans there are better choices (
okay there's only one choice but he's still a better
Hero)
