How wrong were the Hearthstone experts about one of its best new cards? So, so wrong

One of the most exciting things about Blizzard’s popular digital card game Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft is that it is always changing as the developer adds new ways to play. And that can lead to even some of the best players looking a little bit silly when they try to predict the future.

Blizzard just added a few dozen new cards to Hearthstone as part of the Blackrock Mountain single-player adventure that it released over the last month or so. And one of the standout new cards is definitely the Grim Patron. This is a card that, whenever it survives damage, summons another Grim Patron. At this point, you probably know all about it because it is definitely a tough deck to fight against — especially when it is combined with a few other specific cards in a Warrior deck. But while we all know how popular and useful Grim Patron is now, many people — even some of the top Hearthstone players — didn’t realize it when Blizzard first announced the card.
