Three new cards revealed from The Witchwood

Three more cards have been revealed from Hearthstone’s next expansion as we barrel towards the expansion’s release.

The cards from The Witchwood have been coming thick and fast, with many of the reveals featuring multiple cards instead of just one. The set releases on April 12.

Mossy Horror is a six mana 2/7. Its Battlecry destroys all other minions with two or less attack. That makes it, pretty obviously, a control tool against aggro decks. It will clear a board of small minions, maybe something Murloc Paladin. But by turn six, maybe minions with two or less attack will be the least of your problems.

Festeroot Hulk is a five mana 2/7, at least to start with. When a friendly minion attacks, this gains +1 attack. It’s a new take on the now-departed Enrage keyword, and could maybe have a place in a Rush Warrior deck.

Splitting Festeroot is an eight mana 4/4, that is really three new cards in one. When this dies, it summons two 2/2 Splitting Saplings. When those die, they summon two 1/1 Woodchips. That makes this minion pretty hard to clear, since there are three stages to take care of.
