There are many cards to play in Hearthstone, and while some are overrated, others don't get enough credit. Hearthstone Featured Through the years players have had with , many expansions have come and gone. From "The Boomsday Project" to "Knights of the Frozen Throne", there have been cards that take the spotlight for a while, and then fall just as quick.

THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

Underrated Conjurers Calling

Overlooked and underrated was the tale of this card. The fact it has two decks built around it proves that perfectly. The ability to double your minions is always an asset, and with certain monsters, it can turn an entire game around. If you plan it outright, you can sacrifice a high-cost monster and drag out two heavy hitters to turn the tables. The classic combination is with Khadgar, doubling up the effects of the summon. This strategy lets you fill-up the board with minions and either create a defensive wall or an offensive arsenal.

Overrated Spirit Of The Rhino

Continuing to let players down since their release, is the spirit cards! While this one may not be the worst of the bunch, it was certainly overstated in its effect. It solves the problem most of us have run into with rush minions for so long. The solution to the problem comes at too big of a mana and effort cost. The fact that the strategy only works on a small percentage of matchups comes to mind, making this a decent but overhyped option for the rush minded player.

Underrated Archivist Elysiana

Some players get a unique satisfaction out of enraging their opponent, the pinnacle of which being the rage quit. Players who don't quit should expect to be in it for the long haul. A one time use is annoying enough, potentially giving the opponent key cards and giving them copies. When it really takes a dive is when you can resummon Archivist Elysiana, creating an unending deck of cards.

Overrated Da Undatakah

If it were based on presentation, Undatakah would take the cake. His battle cry also presented a potentially devastating effect. Combine that with the big attack and solid defense and it's easy to see why everyone expected it to be a great card. Unfortunately, Undatakah does a lot more in theory than in practice. A little too slow, costing you eight mana to even get him on the field. Its effect of stealing death rattles is pretty specific, and it's pretty wide open to attack or silence. Overall it tends to sit in your hand and gather dust; no one likes a bench warmer.

Underrated Shirvalla The Tiger

It's hard to see why this was first rated in the bottom half of its pack since it is one of the most useful cards in the present game. It also provides an important factor for spell-heavy decks that lack firepower. For the players who are magic-heavy, Shirvallah can become a low-cost powerhouse with an array of abilities. The right strategy can deliver massive damage that will destroy most opponents, shields or not. It's rare to come across such a versatile minion that can add to your strategy, whatever it may be.

Overrated Potion Vendor

Another card that suffers from getting too big for its boots it Potion Vendor. After all, a low-cost healer is always an advantage in gameplay. The cards it has to compete with are heavy competition, especially considering its weak attack and defense. The one deck that managed to get some use out of the card is out of rotation, leaving our medicinal friend here out in the cold. Potion Vendor is a good card with better options, making it ultimately overrated when it was considered one of the highest cards in the pack.

Underrated Scorp-o-Matic

It might not look like much, but this little guy is the ultimate clean up crew for the more annoying opponents. Any sacrificial lambs your opponent is setting up can be quickly handled, which includes any eggs or activators that might pop up. That's not all. If you combine this with Aldor Peacekeeper, you have a low-cost eliminator of almost any minion in the game. It also comes in handy for mech activations and, if you must, a sacrificial lamb itself . This card is an all-around team player in an unsuspecting package.

Overrated Madame Lazul

When the effect of being able to see three of your opponent's cards went live, the hype train left the station. Not to mention, you get to copy one of those to your very own hand. While information is useful, you're copying the card not stealing it. Its body is relatively weak, giving players a 3/2 split that won't make a significant impact on the game either. It's a useful card, but for the wave of hype, it doesn't do that much when you put it to the test.

Underrated Stargazer Luna

Easy to miss, Stargazer Luna can serve the player well if she is played right. Giving you the ability to draw a bunch of cards from your deck every turn, she's perfect for the cheap cardholder. If players can pull off low-cost minions, a quick fill-up of the field is in sight. Also coming with a handy side card, Luna's Pocket Galaxy, that makes all your minions a one cost all but guarantees a takeover. The players that don't know will look over her, and the ones that do will waste firepower trying to get rid of her.

Overrated Revenge Of The Wild

Being a pretty simple, straight forward card usually takes you off the list of under/overrated. While this card gets a decent amount of play, its almost always outworked by a different strategy at most stages of gameplay. You really have to have a field full of beasts to put it to maximum effect. While this isn't unheard of, it only happens when you're mid-game, and players typically have a more strategized plan at that point. That being said, it's a good functional player in a deck, just not the star of the team.
