We continue our review of the Hearthstone cards from Mean Streets of Gadgetzan with new cards from the Grimy Goons and the Jade Lotus, the names given for the factions that utilize the tri-class cards debuting in this expansion set. Chaussure Puma Destockage . Several Mage and Warlock cards have been revealed since our last installment, so we now have a better picture of what these classes will look like after the card set drops next month.We start out with three cards that go along with the Grimy Goons mechanic of buffing in-hand minions in order to make less linear styles of gameplay more practical, something thats necessary to keep games of Hearthstone from being tempo fights.The initial comparison of Grimy Gadgeteer may be the Screwjank Clunker from Goblins vs. Gnomes, a four-mana 2/5 that had a Battlecry of giving a friendly Mech +2/+2. But this card is better. Screwjank Clunker, while providing reach, required you to have something on board while the Gadgeteer only requires you to have something in your hand, a much easier condition to fulfill. So from the start, youre likely to get 6/5 worth of stats for your four mana and the card has quasi-Taunt, in that the effect triggers at the end of every turn, meaning this card must be removed quickly. Even without constructed buff decks, Arena is minion-based enough that this will see play.Brass Knuckles on the other hand, Im not so sure about. Getting the +1/+1 random buff has value, but its such a slow weapon and theres a danger in having too many weapons in Warrior. Youre obviously not cutting Fiery War Axe and Id prefer Fools Bane to this (you have to survive to get to your slow buffed cards after all). Is there room for yet another weapon, one that isnt directly dangerous to the board? I dont think there is.The 5/6 stat line for seven mana of Don HanCho is underwhelming on its face and demands sexy card text. And while the effect isnt too wacky or unusual, its strong enough to make the card at least interesting in slower buff decks. Five-mana 5/6 cards are playable and a two-mana spell with that effect would be also; additionally, having a two-card combo in one card -- at least when the two things arent that odd -- is quite valuable. I dont think this will be a must-include, but there are ways to exploit an effect this stat-heavy. This is a tri-class card (Hunter/Paladin/Warrior) and while this is probably too slow for the Hunters kit, Paladin and Warrior have the tools to survive into late game.The Kabal Chemist represents pseudo card draw, something that can be quite powerful even without it being a Discover card. This card draws a random Potion, a much more powerful group of cards than the spare parts that many Goblins vs. Gnomes cards added to your hand. There have been seven Potions released, consisting of three AOE potions, a minion buff potion, an enemy minion-weakening potion, a Secret, and the mini-Shadow Madness one. Most of these potions have some utility to a Priest, Warlock, or Mage, the three classes that can play this card. Discovering a Potion would be even more powerful, but then youd probably need a weaker minion than 3/3 for four mana to compensate.Two of the potions, for Mage, are the Volcanic Potion and the Potion of Polymorph.The effect of the Volcanic Potion is good enough, but the all minions disclaimer means that Mage decks that do rely on minions cant make much use of this card, so Tempo Mage is probably out. What this card does empower is the more control style of Mage. Not sure if it makes the Freeze Mage cut, but the conditions are there. I think where this card will see the most play is in a Grinder Mage that tries to get to fatigue and win there.For Potion of Polymorph, youll need a control-heavy meta for this to see play at all in tournament play. Most midrange and aggro decks will be able to play around this fairly easily, the same way Mirror Image can be played around. Actual Polymorph is only one mana more and you can actually choose when to play it - this card is only obviously better in situations where your opponent is playing a quick-impact card like Grommash Hellscream or Ragnaros. But if this becomes anything more than occasional surprise card, what are the odds your opponent will give you cards like that?Kabal Lackeys viability requires Secret Mage to be an actual played deck. While it looks good in isolation -- playing a three-mana secret for free is a lot of value -- theres already a card in the Kirin Tor Mage that also does this and that never sees high-level play. Secrets are weak enough that just being able to play a secret in hand for free just isnt enough of an effect, you really need to be able to play all of them, like Cloaked Huntress in Hunter, or be able to draw and play one like Mad Scientist enables for the card to be that great.While Lackey may see play in Arena formats that encourage you to have a few one-drops, Kabal Crystal Runner really needs a Secret-heavy deck to see play. I dont think this deck will happen, so I expect this card to be one of the least-played from this expansion. Menagerie Warden in Druid has the same stat line, a better effect, and in a deck that is actually viable, and even that card is sometimes just an overcosted 5/5. That will happen more often with this card.With multiple cards this expansion that activate if you have no duplicates in your deck and Reno Jackson rotating out sometime this spring, were going to have to find a new name for Reno decks. Chogall in Warlock hasnt worked so far because Warlock doesnt have a lot of big spells that you actually want to play. Thats not true for Mage, that has Pyroblast, Flamestrike, Blizzard, Firelands Portal, Cabalists Tome, etc. Reno Mage ... err ... Singleton Mage has been on the edge of playability and I think this could be the tipping point for it, which will enable all sorts of cards like Medivh that arent seeing a lot of play right now.For those more familiar with seeing Murloc cards in Paladin and Shaman, Warlock was actually the original Murloc-stacked deck, Warlocks hero power preventing your hand from running dry after you play a bazillion small-mana Murloc cards. Will Seadevil Stinger revive the Murlock archetype? Im not so sure about that, there arent high-mana Murlocs apart from Finja, the Flying Star and many of the times you get around to playing this card, youll be running out of cards, not mana. I think this may be a one-off if we see Murlock come back, but I dont think its that amazing without a few more large Murloc cards.Its hard not to wonder if Bloodfury Potion doesnt exist to make Kabal Chemist weaker. The least powerful potion released, even in the best case scenario, three-mana for a +3/+3 buff for a Warlock is decent, not amazing, and there will be many times you cant pull this off. And if you get this as Priest or Mage playing the Kabal Chemist, you might cry.A much better potion is the Felfire Potion and Control Priests and Mages will absolutely not weep in a corner after drawing this one off Kabal Chemist. Much of the time, youll be able to clear the board and even if you dont, you ought to be able to weaken it enough to ping off or remove remaining minions using other methods. A good, straightforward spell.This article is part of a series analyzing the cards in the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Hearthstone expansion.

The Huskies proceeded to go on a nearly 10-minute drive, capped by a Jake Browning to Aaron Fuller touchdown pass with just over five minutes left (in Washingtons fourth time converting a third down on the drive).Trailing 37-6, Stanford got the ball back but went three-and-out and punted back to Washington. Five plays later, the Huskies faced a third down at Stanfords 25-yard line, and were a first down away from being able to run out the clock. Lavon Coleman got that first down and more, as he scored a touchdown with 1:38 left that pushed the total over.Final score: Washington 44, Stanford 6 (Game goes over)SaturdaySan Jose State Spartans at New Mexico LobosClosing line:?New Mexico -10.5New Mexico entered the fourth quarter with a 41-20 lead, and was covering the 10.5-point spread by a couple of scores.

With less than three minutes left, the Lobos stretched their lead to 14 when Richard McQuarley scored from six yards out.Those who bet New Mexico needed one more stop, but they wouldnt get it.

In what turned out to be a thrilling finish, bettors who took the first half under might have called it a night at halftime.After all the hype about Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson, these two teams played a scoreless first quarter. You wwere sitting pretty if you had under 32 in the first half. Chaussure Puma En Solde. After Louisvilles Jeremy Smith scored the games first touchdown early in the second quarter, and there wasnt another score until less than eight minutes left in the first half.But then the scores kept coming.

Before Sunday, Washington was 0-6 ATS in those games, having lost outright four times. This game looked to be following that same script, as the Browns led 20-17 entering the final quarter.Cleveland couldnt get out of its own way, however, and turned it over on three consecutive possessions after taking the lead. Washington took advantage, scoring 14 points off those turnovers.The Browns, who led with less than 11 minutes left and outgained the Redskins for the game, still ended up losing by double-digits. Cleveland is the only winless team left in the NFL this season.Final score:?Redskins 31, Browns 20 (Redskins cover)New Orleans Saints at San Diego ChargersClosing line: Chargers -4The Chargers had covered in six of their past seven games dating back to last season, and were minutes away from another ATS win.Leading 34-21 with possession and less than seven minutes to go, San Diego just needed to hold onto the ball -- but that turned out to be harder said than done. Melvin Gordon had the ball stripped and the Saints recovered. Four plays later, Drew Brees and Michael Thomas hooked up for a touchdown on fourth down, cutting the San Diego lead to 34-28. On the Chargers next offensive play, Travis Benjamin fumbled and New Orleans recovered it again. Seven plays later, John Kuhn punched it in, and Wil Lutzs extra point put the Saints up one.
