Hearthstone: The Best Neutral Cards Leaving Arena in 2019 - Part 1

#2 Fire Plume Phoenix

Expansion: Journey to Un'Goro

Fire Plume Phoenix sees no play in Constructed. But in Arena, it proves to be a card that can really turn the game around for you. Board control really matters. If you can deal 2 damage and clear out your opponent's minion to give you an advantage, you can win the game. It is a great way to kill off your opponent's smaller minions or even their 3-drops / 4-drops.

#1 Violet Wurm

Expansion: Kobolds & Catacombs

Violet Wurm is another card that sees close to no play in Constructed. It has seen some play in Recruit Hunter, but it turns out that King Krush and Witchwood Grizzly and other beasts are just a much better fit. An 8 mana 7/7 isn't all that great, but Violet Wurm's deathrattle is what makes it a very sticky and difficult to kill a minion.

If Violet Wurm is killed, it will spawn 7 1/1 minions (or less if you don't have the board space) which can be used to take down your opponent's minions or smash them in the face. Its stats are big enough to be a threat and its deathrattle is good enough for opponents to not want to kill it at all.

The cards in this list are not even close to the power level of some other cards in these sets. We'll show you the best ones tomorrow!
