Awwwww man, Deathwing Warrior Hero Skin is sooo tempting ...
Must ... resist ...
Just go for it.
I feel you man. I want to have a warrior other than Garrosh SO BAD, but now both options cost money. Very tempting, but seeing as I regretted the only two preorders I've ever done for this game as soon as I finished opening all the packs, I think I'll learn from history and save money.
we can compare the invokes from the Galakrond classes we know:
Warlock: Summon 2 1/1 imps on board
Rogue: Get a random Lackey into your hand
Priest: Get a random minion into your hand
Remember, Each "Galakrond invoke" card is also the Hero Power of the classes Galakrond
if you ask me, warlocks Invoke seems pretty good, since you go aggressive/tempo style with those imps before playing Galakrond, and you also gain tempo when you play Galakrond too.
Rogues Galakrond seems pretty bonker when played, making up to 4 drawn cards cost 0 is very good if they didn't cost 0 from the beginning, you will though spend 3 mana to play a lackey from hero power to being played, could be worth it in longer terms. The invoke for rogue is pretty nasty, since you get a lackey for just playing an invoke card.
Priests Galakrond alone is super strong against control/tempo decks for it's minion removals, The hero power is great to generate minions when you need it but you lose the healing ability which could be critical against you. The invoke is okay, Bonkers if you get the right minions, terrible if you get the wrong minions in wrong timing, RNG Fiesta all the way. you can also get hand issues too from invoke/Hero Power.
According to this https://twitter.com/puffinplays/status/1190742388626427904 evil classes will have 11 cards
And here I thought they were being generous...
Well, I was planning on avoiding the $80 pre-purchase this time, but then I saw that Warrior skin....
Will the pre-order bundles be available in-game (using coins)?
Sadly, no
No, you cannot use in game coin on bundles.
Should be come Tuesday!
The question is; Can we play normal quests and sidequests at the same time ?
Are there any info about that?
No confirmation but I saw a stream and it looked like the side quest was to the left of the regular quest.
You can indeed!
Im pretty sure we can, i believe thats the main reason its called sidequest its because u can play them together at the same time
This expansion will be awesome! I love Dragons and so far the cards seem pretty good!
Is it just me or is warlock gonna be broken? So far Rafaams warlock cards seems pretty nuts and invoke two imps ON BOARD on most cards is a lot for sure, even grim rally is useful, or any cards that requires a sacrifice.
And drawing 3 cards is for tempo play when you really need cards, it even synergies with quest.
And the lackeys will support warlock too..
And those jumbo imps has super synergy with invoke minions when played...not to mention the hero card can summon up to 4 demons on the board...
Call me crazy, but I think Rafaam is gonna defy the meta with warlocks for sure, cause he is THE SUPREME ARCHAEOLOGIST after all.
alright so first of all, Warlock Invokers are all garbage. You're crippliing your deck for a worse Odd Paladin HP.
You can't use the Quest with Galakrond because he'll overwrite the reward once you play him.
They want us to play midrange Warlock, which has never worked because it's not nearly as good as just swarming the board early and it doesn't work as control either.
I remember Odd Pala to rule the meta so this HP can not be that bad. And how are you crippling your deck? You play a card that invokes and get two 1-1's on the board. I say that is good value. Your quest point is valid, although the quest can take long to complete so you might play Galakrond before finishing your quest and still enjoy the best of both worlds. And finally, we do not know the other Warlock cards so they could make a difference and I think it's too early to conclude your general final statement.
I hope warlock is really good. Rafaam is supposed to be the leader of the league of evil, but so far warlock hasn't had a single tier 2-1 deck this year. I hope Rafaam makes more of an impact this expansion.
