Really slow, but a extremely powerfull effect. I did hear some people on other forums and stuff say that Wing Commander Ichman makes Beastmaster Leoroxx unplayably bad, but i feel like both complement each other. Leoroxx summons big beasts from hand, and Ichman from your deck. Of course this archetype will need some big beasts in order to work, but i feel like it has a lot of potential. Especially if you also run Vanndar Stormpike.
Either way i'm happy to see that so many classes are getting these late game cards, this might actually make the meta slow down. And worst case scenario, all these card become good after the expansion because some of the sets with lots of key aggro support/card draw will rotate.
okay, this MUST hint towards BIG hunter alongside Wing Commander Ichman! Unfortunately we havent seen any big beasts yet, but considering BIG Hunter is apparently getting pushed hard, i wouldn't be surprised to see some really good big beasts revealed soon. I'm loving all thes late game archetypes, hopefully that will slow down the meta!
But back to the card, discover is amazing and gives you full control over which beast you ress. It's basicly a better Witching Hour. This card has a lot of potential.
3 mana 5/4 with stealth is amazing, and it can make a BIG impact if you play this on turn 3. (right after a secret on turn 2) Ram Tamer seems very solid and if the other secret support cards are anywhere this good, then i imagine secret hunter making a comeback for sure!
Hey all, I´m back after three weeks (very, very hard weeks) and I found myself at lvl 220. With the new mini-set achievements my count is 75% done - just starting to do them now, hoping to be done till the new expansion.
So where you´re all at? Where do you think/hope to end this time? Feel free to share. Thank you.
@NebuchadnezzarHS I just got my first Play a friend quest today in a half a year, still nothing on my second account. Still better than nothing I guess. How about you? Any luck yet?
Finally some decent token DH support, unfortunately it is a BIT late. Like serieusly, most token DH support rotates next expansion. Token DH will REALLY need some good support to be decent, otherwise it will remain unplayable this expansion... and next year. So lets hope Token DH finally gets the support it needs, because that deck always seemed interesting.
At first sight this looked like a worse Darkshire Councilman but on turn 3 Flag Runner is a much better tempo play provided you have minions in play already and that one extra health can go a long way.
Arena: There are better 3 drops out there, but decent tempo card notheless.
Constructed: Just a stat bomb. Probably won't see play.
Not surprised that Kotick knew, not the slightest. I doubt he will be forced out though. The pretty much only chance this will happen is if the stock price will dive further or he becomes a legal risk and the large shareholders start to perceive him as a liability. Only if Blackrock, Vanguard and their likes turn on him he will be fired. That being said I think it is wrong to pin the entire sorry state of Blizzard on him, but getting rid of him would be a start.
Edit: After reading a couple of articles I correct myself. I bet investors will force him out within the next month. That's simply too much. He has become a liability
I appreciate you (and everyone who liked your comment) for the kind words. I know, and plenty of folks on the team took over some duties earlier over the past few days. We don't have people for around the clock coverage with stuff though and not all of our card reveal tooling is very accessible to the team so I sort of have to be here (plus there are bills that need to be paid).
I am proud that we've got a great enough team that I can bow out if needed as proven earlier this week and past weekend. I'm hoping to take a week off come December, as I'd like everyone else on staff to as well, right around the holidays, where anything we do publish on the site will all be pre-scheduled - just a bit of a shame since December is the best month for ad revenue lol.
Since starting the site, I haven't had any time off even though I've had a few attempts to make it happen. At the end of the day though, we're behind in the grand scheme of things and any time taken off just delays stuff even more and its a bummer. I know how important it is to take time for yourself and I certainly don't practice what I preach, but it really does just come down to there is no good time. If I get deep into something that isn't immediately content related, which happens more than I'd like but that's also just the reality of wearing many hats, usually our front page takes a hit for the day.
Ow ow. I found this funny article where he told Fran Townsend to sent an email that he drafted, and later he was the one who told the media that it was tone deaf reply. WTF Bobby? 1 order for his resignation please.
What a weird card to put into HUnter of all things, but it's certainly decent. With stuff like Snake Trap or Pack Tactics this is a guaranteed 3-mana 5/4 with stealth. That's gotta count for something.
Oh, yes in that case it is kind of bs. However, the issue is not the card but rather Mind Tether passive combined with fireshaper. The card in a vacuum is a perfectly fine control/removal card. The card combined with all the other stuff in duels creates early games that are nearly unwinnable. It sucks the longer runs go on though due to deck dilution.
Wow 9 mana defensive hunter card that encourages trading. Because you really want to trade a lot at 9 mana playing as hunter, the trading control-class.

The only positive I can say is that this is better Flesheating Ghoul due to the higher health.
New Hunter Minion - Ram Tamer

Blizzard Reveals 3 New Cards for Fractured in Alterac Valley for Hunters and Demon Hunters
Sigh, I feel like I'm following you Sinti. But agreed. Turn 2 play secret. Turn 3, get a 5/4 with stealth. Seems broken... -_-

I thought I was missing something key that I had seen. Thanks for posting the link here, the situation really is more fucked up than I wrote.

So I guess, Fran couldn't do anything outside the box, and actually have to follow his superior doing dirty things. This is pure evil.

That'S a Witching Hour with DIscover. That'S actually insane. There's gonna be stuff to do with this.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Flag Runner
Not too bad in Token DH. Scaling 1/6 at 3-mana is hard to deal with.
Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!

I doubt anything will improve until these companies get broken up into smaller, more manageable (and less harassy) units.

I, for one welcome in our new Arena oppressors. It's that priest minion whose name i can't remember... But better!
New Demon Hunter Minion - Flag Runner
Token DH will be able to make good use of this. Glad it's not a Battlecry like we've seen in the past.
