"Every turn, you can activate the ability of your location card, for free"

So you can decide if to use the ability or to wait. Correct ?

and a skin for most of the other classes. It really isn't that dramatic.

Spell Tutor, which could make some Smokescreen shenanigans happen. Also good value if you have some decent cheap spell worth copying on the spot.

All use of Pirates, cheating out, Quest Hunter, and Druid ramping is Inappropriate Gameplay.

Nice callback, but a terrible card (except for Arena I guess).

Seems kinda nuts. Devolve + Evolve in one card, and both of those were really good. The only issue might be that it's too expensive to be reliable, but hten again....School Teacher exists.

THe ultimate Timmy card. Every casual player will get baited into playing this and then wonder why they never draw their good cards.

Although I'm curious if there's some kind of control deck that actually benefits from this. Maybe Quest Priest?

Seems kinda nuts? As long as the clues are reasonable to solve you're basically playing a 3-mana 3/4 that generates up to 3 (presumably) good cards.

Sounds weird, but powerful. With the new location card you can just plop this on 4, summon a random 5-drop and then they still have to kill this or it will just happen again.

Man, I'm really starting to hate these "lmao, I win" cards.

Does this not sound kinda broken? Just getting a free Evolve 3 times for basically no cost could be insane.

This looks really good imo. The ability to pay 1-mana to get 3 free Pings/attack buffs could be incredibly useful.

All depends on the deck it goes into I guess

Neat card but I wonder if it's any good. Like, on paper this could be an insane swing tool. You jsut Whirlwind and play her and she wipes the board and punches face (which she should hit first always unless hero cards are involved). The only issue is when the minions on board are too big and she just dies too early.

Seems okay? I don't know what you're gonna do with a random Leggy in Priest, especially if you might just hand it to your opponent as well, but there's worse cards.

Nah, that's just a report button for Priest players

Oh, this is already an exciting expansion. I already like a good chunk of these cards.

Oh my fucking god they actually added another mage hero. Are you kidding me.

I assume “inappropriate gameplay” includes using bots? I play a lot of Classic, and that mode is infested with zoolock bots, especially in the last days of the month — over about 20 games this past weekend, 12 were against bots!

I’ve previously used the [email protected] email to report them (along with supporting screenshots), but this would be quicker!

It's cute she has the same statline as her husband's angry mode (Mankrik, Consumed by Hatred). Someone should let him know she's still going strong... albeit dead.

Since this article mentions hero portraits, here's a decent place to say this: they finally added artist credits for the portraits! It was always so weird that wasn't said when we had it for cards.

No such info for mercs portraits, though they did add 4th skins for Tyrande, Millhouse and Xyrella for some reason. (They are just using skins that already existed outside Mercs, so probably just reasoned 'why not?')

I don't think so as they are an entirely new card type, like hero cards they'll stay around

Too early to judge on this one, as we don't even know how Location cards work.

Quote From aposteljoe

Mercenaries uses only existing art. Like the Cookie fish.

The mercs themselves don't. Most of them have skins that aren't used anywhere else, and quite often they make no sense lore-wise (e.g. lots of baby versions of the characters, such as Deathwing, N'Zoth and Azshara).

Being able to choose each time if and where to use the effect, while also having a 1 turn cooldown, are some pretty big differences, both between landmarks and objectives.
