We're a little bit late this time (can you really blame us? There's so much great stuff going on), but it's time to bring back an old favourite this reveal season: The community bingo!
After a card is revealed that fits one of these categories, we'll cross that space off. If we get 5 in a line, we get a bingo. How many squares will we cross off by the time we see all the cards? A few squares are already crossed off.
Completed Card
And here are is the card with all of the squares we've completed so far.
| Al'ar | Secret Rogue | Replicat-o-tron | Shadow Council | Kayn Sunfury |
| Bulwark of Azzinoth | ||||
| Confirmed! | Astromancer Solarian | FREE! | ||
| Teron Gorefiend | Serpentshrine Portal | Uhh, a lot of things. | ||
| Netherwalker | Boggspine Knuckles (wording) | Ysiel Windsinger | Overconfident Orc | Burrowing Scorpid |
How many squares do you think we will we cross off by the end?
Square Rulings
Now some of these squares have some rulings to them.
- Year of the Phoenix - This square is crossed off once we get a card depicting a phoenix (thanks Al'ar).
- "This Will Never Be In The Game" - This square is crossed off once we get an effect that has widely been stated to never appear in the game. Technically the fact that we have a new class could cross this off, but I opted not to and only relegate this to card effects.
- Fan Creations Is Here - If something extremely popular in fan-made cards lands in the game in this set, we'll cross this off.
- So Much For This Rotating - Were you really excited about a card rotating only for it to be back in a different form in this set?
- Silverback Family Reunion - If we get yet another card that powercreeps Silverback Patriarch, we'll cross this one off.
- Elemental Synergy Card - A bit of a weird one, but Mage always seems to get a one random Elemental synergy card each set. Note that merely being an Elemental does not count.
- Rebirth - One of the main aspects of a phoenix is resurrection, so it only seems plausible that it might happen here.
- It's All Ogre Now - If a card (preferably an Ogre) uses the 50% mechanic, we can cross this off. Or maybe just some crazy ogre.
- Babbling Babbler - Any 1 mana 1/1 card generator will count (I'm not counting Psychic Conjurer as it isn't really part of this set).
- Mana Cheating - Hey, that's cheating! But we'll cross this off.
- Breaking Weaknesses - Did Shaman get another strong card drawer or card generator? Did Hunter get an insane card drawer? Did Demon Hunter get an amazing card generator despite the fact that it was supposed to be a weakness?
- C-C-C-COMBO!!! - Is this card integral to a strong buildaround or combo?
- Class Card in Disguise - Do you spot a Neutral card that would only be playable in one class?
Have fun!
Comments
Overconfident Orc fits into the Silverback thing and its effect is arguably a reverse enrage too.
I know Replicat-o-tron has been voted as the ultracutie, but... Living Rot
I could see Burrowing Scorpid in hunter just as much as rogue tbh, replaces Lifedrinker in face hunter.
I agree, Burrowing Scorpid doesn't really look like a rogue-only card. Sure it has stealth which is a thing for rogues in this set, but this could easily see play in a number of midrange decks across the classes.
I think that square would be better filled by Soulbound Ashtongue which will probably only see play in Warlock decks that want to damage themselves.
Our Bingo card is now complete.
One thing of note is that a card could only complete one square. So, while Overconfident Orc could've also counted for "Silverback Family Reunion", we chose this space instead. This way, you get another Bingo.
The only other square to follow this trait is "So Much For This Rotating" where Kayn Sunfury could've counted there.
Add the rogue 7/5 that summons a 7/5 with Stealth (power creep on Ravenbloodt Assassin) and move the Orc on the Silverback spot.
Class card vs Neutral, so it doesn't count
Wait Overconfident Orc doesn't have Beast tag, so technically he is not powercreep of Evergreen
Overconfident Orc for Silverback Family Reunion I guess?
Can we scratch that "Totally Not Enrage" with Augmerchant minions? or if that doesn't count, probably with Bonechewer Minions huh?
And Ruststeed Raider is quite similar to the old Militia Commander from Witchwood set. Not good enough for "Old Set Callback"?
And maybe Felfin Navigator can only be played in Shaman or Paladin decks, since other class doesn't support murloc.
And does Bamboozle count as an Ogre?
Totally Not Enrage is relegated specifically to "while damaged", as that was the Enrage mechanic
Well theoretically Overconfident Orc is both Silverback Patriarch family and Enrage -2 Attack
And an Orc
Well we got Old Set callback with a Serpentshrine Portal (callback to Karazhan)
Guardian AugMerchant is a Class card in Disguise, Very much more a Warrior card with how much they can benefit from the self damage.
Replicat-o-tron is definitely a cute boy. He collected all of those things for you!
Germination is defenitely crucial to combos, and if not that than Aviana 2.0 definitely is.
And don't forget the new druid legendary
That is Aviana 2.0
Maiev Shadowsong - silence rotate? let's print an even stronger neutral "silence" card (for buff purposes, and for taunt passing)
So much for this rotating check.
