Stonehill Defender, on the other hand, is very dynamic in that it allows the player to choose three Taunt minions for almost all circumstances. Using Ravaging Ghoul or Bloodhoof Brave can also put players ahead when they are battling against slower decks.
"Hearthstone" has managed to remain popular and relevant because of expansions like "Journey to Un'Goro," and the new Taunt Warrior set is just the cherry on top. Blizzard's Team 5 is definitely working hard to come up with new things to shake up the gameplay, as senior designers Peter Whalen and Mike Donais revealed.
In order to go with the Taunt theme that they had opted for with the Warrior Quest, Whalen revealed that they had to think of new cards.
"Stonehill Defender came out of trying to make the Warrior Quest more fun to play," Whalen told IGN in an interview. "It was a little bit boring beforehand, so Stonehill Defender helped out with that a lot. It had some extra benefits in Paladin and other places as well, but that was the main thrust for putting it in the set."
