Don't really care much for Mantid Queen. Even with 6 other minion types, there will always be a chance you don't roll a divine shield, and you're taking that risk every turn.
The real threat out of this article is that Nightmare Amalgam is returning as a Tier 3 minion. Going to be a menace to BG all over again!
You have to look at this like a Selfless that could bring you some value or close your menagerie build but it could always be bad. It is a Neutral, so it can't be easily buffed since buddies are out. It's not relyable since the effect it gains aren't permanent, only the Poison is. It could cost you the game if you don't get divine shield.
Well, DPE was called, so nice to see it's coming in fairly soon. Do any of these additions kind of make the banlist make a little more sense or is it still bad?
Lets remove Amalgadon, so ppl cant have Poison Divine Shield Taunt .. oh yeah, and here is a new minion, totally not a Poison Divine Shield Taunt. Me smart. Me like to bonk my head against the wall.
Also I dont get how they can say that there will be more diverse comps when a Tier3 amalgam is being reintroduced lol.
UPDATE 3: And yet another Elden ring boss join the Hearthstone Duels as a Warlock/ Shaman, which is Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, ruler of the Volcano Manor, and ties with Mogh as the most Evil and grotesque character of the game.
Rykard, as the other characters here, is a demigod, direct brother of Radahn and Ranni, which had an ambition to destroy the Erdtree and the Golden Order, and to achive that, he feed himself to the God Devouring Serpent, a monstrosity capable of devouring a being and absorb its powers and essence. But when Rykard got devoured, he fused his conscious with the serpent, and they became one. Now Rykard has an eternal hunger for champions, and currently rules the Volcano Manor, which is dedicated to destroy the Erdtree and gather the mightiest champions to feed Rykard and increse his power, so one day he can become powerful enough to devour the gods and became the new lord supreme of the Lands Between. He is know for his iconic serpentine quotes: "JOIN THE SERPENT KIIIIING AS FAMILEEEEEE. TOGETHAAAAAA WE WILL DEVOUAAAAAHHH, THE VERY GAAAAWWDSS!!!"

RYKARD'S BOSS FIGTH
BTW, this is one of the best fights of the game, I highly recommend you to watch this one.
Also, if trigore doesn't get a cooldown nerf on backlash I'll be very surprised. This one merc dominates pvp with none but one move and unsurprisingly it doesn't attack. That's what separates it from mr smite, which has nearly the same move. Wonder when team5 will start noticing that attackers are at a huge disadvantage in mercs.
You're so right. I've been abusing Trigore so hard by using the Long'Xin swap (using the equipment so it has no cooldown). Turn 1: Long'Xin swaps Trigore into the center, Backlash, then I run in with either Diablo or Illidan to force more Trigore damage. It was going great until opponents started figuring out how to play around it. If you know Long'Xin is about to swap, target him and you'll hit Trigore instead.
Attackers are often at a big disadvantage. However, those who can ignore taunt (Valeera and Krush, for example) can still do some serious damage.
There is still too much off-board damage in the game. I just lost 3 straight games and took a combined 8 damage from minions attacking me, and some of that came from Lady S'theno. I took over 100 damage from weapon attacks, spells, Pufferfist and Defias Cannoneer.
This so much.
The game has always been a bit dumb but it a fun kind of dumb. Now it just caters to lowest of IQ players (because they're the majority and it makes more money) who just play whatever is in their hand with no thought to the board state whatsoever. Keywords like 'taunt' are currently worthless as the top decks right now literally don't have to think about it.
If you scroll your merc collections for fighters, at some point your game will hang and then when its back you'll notice that slyvannas' portrait will be pitch black. I think this only happens with the normal, non golden portrait.
I notice the same for bluegill warrior too.

Quote From dapperdogAnd perhaps more importantly, bug fixes. A major problem as of late. Among which are both sylvannas in mercs, and blue gill warrior's pics being cursed apparently. All Im seeing are black pics, and whenever they come out the game hangs for about 10 seconds. That, and the infamous nellie bug. Can't wait to see what's next.
I'm not aware of the Sylvanas bug. What is it?
I think I encountered a bug yesterday where my Long'Xin swapped places with Trigore and took a hit, but Trigore's Backlash did not trigger. Has anyone else seen this? I've been using this strategy a lot in PvP because it absolutely dominates the early game. I wish I could remember what ability it failed on, as it works with everything else.

Can't remember when Buddies were introduced, but it seems they were only in BGs for such a sort time considering they must've taken a lot of time to develop and add to the game. Guess Team 5 didn't want to over complicate things with the introduction of Nagas.
First of all, I hope covid gets easy on you and you recover soon ❤️
Even if Windfury is usually a Shaman or Neutral keyword, I don't think it's much of an issue here. I mean, Rogues are known for enchanting weapons and exceptions to these soft rules exist (like Al'Akir the Windlord having Divine Shield) and Windfury fits a boomerang like a T. If you're worried about it, you could make it a Shaman card (boomerangs are sort of a tribal thing, so it'd make sense), but the card feels more Rogue to me.
My main issue is the lack of tools to pull the card, but I guess this hypothetical expansion could have a keyword similar to Dredge or even belong to the Year of the Hydra.
All in all, I like this better than your previous cards and I think it has a good chance of winning the comp.
About your feedback, I made a non-Beast version of the Manipulator, but I still think I'll go with the previous one. This one has an overall worse feel, I believe.
MrRhapsody
Both versions are more balanced now. I think I like the Warlock one better. The fact it's a Warlock card is sort of a good thing for this effect, as double trigger can be very strong for a class with a lot of good Deathrattles (I mean, look at how expensive Necrium Vial is.

Also, really excited for Eventide Brute. I want to play a dream comp of Captain Flat Tusk, Cap'n Hoggarr, and Eventide Brutes. Just buy pirates, play Blood Gems, and watch the stats soar!

One of the previous mentions of Mercenaries by the devs suggested that the next change would introduce a bunch of new characters.
That could be the Old Gods, or N'Zoth and his naga creations.
And some underwater bounties.
