Thanks for always adding european time, it's really annoying having to always look up in what time it is over here.

Hooray for any kind of recognition of arena! And I won't complain as much as many others cos it feels like arena is actually not forgotten but i think they have other priorities for the mode than hardcore players.

If we can believe the sequence of the animation then the new hero power will come first before the battlecry so if this repeats the Wildfire it should buff the new hp.

i think if you play just wildfire as fire spell or you get lucky to new hero battlecry and it will be recasted as fire spell it should give your new hp a buff or ? it change your hp after battlecry or right away ? and then it starts battlecry ?

I dont like raisins on my fruitcake, I want a cherry on top.

Well, this is a nice dragon to resurrect with N'Zoth, God of the Deep but if we want to see it more often, we'd need additional support

Commencement is still legal.

I don't want to sound like a party breaker, but Primordial Drake had Taunt, which is a big deal.

Someone is downvoting you all time but I think you're spot on with new cards thoughts so far.

Rez Priest in a mud

I like it because its basically a must kill, and its effect can damage face. The health gain is really just a raisin on top of a fruit cake.

But realistically, its a meta choice whether it'll ever be included into a deck. Its an 8 mana Consecration in most cases, because stuff like these just never stick.

Its powerful, but not nearly as tilting as Devolving Missiles at least.

Im still not sure if its a straight up inclusion, because a bunch of sheep is still damage to face, and its an arcane spell, which means you're technically 50-50 your Magister Dawngrasp pool assuming you'd have other arcane spells in mind, and mage does have plenty of those.

Still, I asked for a payoff for big spells, and this suitably answered.

Its not a value hero, its basically saying "games over in three turns or I fold". Because realistically you'd need a massive minion on board with more than 5 attack or you might as well just go face instead. The hero power, while nicely having an ability to gain armor, will nearly never trigger because your opponent is obviously going to play around it.

But it does gain you 5 armor, which means you're this close to triggering a 9 damage charge to the face. And for what its worth, this weapon still does 10 damage. And that may just be enough honestly.

Its basically big spell mage support. Because cheap spells is not what you want out of an 8 mana card. If this is played and the board isn't cleared or the opponent's face isn't dead, you're technically just forfeiting the game.

The hero power is cute, but not only are you investing in shooting minions (and therefore not face) it would be around turn 9 at that time, so what do you actually think the hp is really going to achieve when the base damage starts at 1.

Not sure if earlier Wildfire buffs actually transfer over. Chances are good that it does. I heard that something was done earlier to Frost Lich Jaina that basically resets the hp completely, but that may be specific to that dk and not to this.

First time I saw this I thought "here we bloody go again", and then I noticed that this doesn't have a spell school, and is specifically limited to mage spells.

So its basically a Solarian Prime in theory, but I wonder if this is actually limited to spells that actually do damage rather than something like Conjure Mana Biscuit because all things considered, you can absolutely just highroll into victory because of this card, and wouldn't that piss everyone (Im already shaking) off.

I have to lament the fact that team5 persist in designing casino cards like these, but thankfully this isn't the same bs that was The Amazing Reno. You'd actually have to spend mana on this and chances are good you'll draw a ton of cards or clear, and really nothing much else.

Its likely that strong minion for ping mage, or some sort of midrange secret hunter.

There's not much else you can do with this thing in standard unless there's a card that counters freeze. But it is a big boy, and maybe that's enough for this to sometimes see play, but I wouldn't count on it. Probably not consistent enough for ranked.

Hell YES! They're actually finally supporting control. All you brainless board spammers and face whackers can SUCK IT! 

OK they definetely don't want to let players play priest decks.

Rancor is run in Warrior decks. And this is a Rancor-sh effect at the end of every turn, it will run at least once on the first turn.  Also, hits face and enemies only. Can trigger multiple times for multiple enemies. We will see if these slow strategies can thrive but last year this would be an OK card.

Honestly, this is not bad. A lot of popular aggro decks run 2 health minions (mostly pirate warrior and taunt druid) so I can see this the cut as a one of.

Edit: The more I think about it, the more I think this card is bad. It is a win more card against aggro and midrange, and does not do anything meaningful against slower decks. Very meh. 

Yeah but now I have two nickels because paladin got two 8 mana minions that aren't battlecries and good if they're cheated out early.

I think you are reffering to Big Priest my lad.

This just looks awful tbh. The healing effect doesn't synergize with any of the Equality cards, Conescration for 8-mana is weak and there is no dragon synergy currently.

Idk what the point of this is.
