So is this Lich person supposed to be Tamsin or is it a new character? Looks kinda masculine but I have no idea how Lich transformations work in WoW.
I guess at least they commited to her demise.
Hello WoW player here I have seen lady liches or at least a lady lich in wow VIA Margrave Sindane she is indeed a lady lich but she doesn't really have any of your favorite features. And it'd make sense for it to be tamsin since Kurthus is trying to kill her plus it's got her colour scheme so yes its most likely your Tamsin.
This trailer is super hype, i love the music! This really gave me some Uldum vibes, which is great. (Uldum is probably my favorite expansion reveal music.) Oh and the animations keep getting better with each reveal! The production has always been quite good, but it has been drasticly improving recently! It's amazing!
Here some speculation on some of the interesting things i saw in the trailer:
Varden Dawngrasp mainly uses arcane magic in the trailer, which might hint towards a lot of arcane spell school stuff in mage, which would make a lot sense. After all, barrens mini set had Freeze mage and Stormwind had Fire Mage.
Xyrella i think casted some kind of ress spell? Yay everyone's "favorite" archetype! (Tbh at this point i would welcome Ress priest with open arms, as long as it manages to slow down the meta.) but hey maybe we get a "holy spell" priest, kinda like Shadow Priest.
Bru'kan summoned the ice lord, but the ice lord isn't a shaman legendary if the leaked legendary is true. So either the ice lord has something to do with Bru'kans hero card, or its a neutral legendary.
We do see Kurtras cast Eye Beam but that doesn't really hint towards anything. (At most fell DH support, but thats a big stretch.)
And i think i saw Kurtras fight a lich who looks a lot like Tamsin? And honestly that might make a lot of sense. Think about it: In BoM Kurtras states that:"To summon Anetheron would require power to rival that of the lich Kel'Thuzad" Which kinda teased that tamsin is lich level of strong, and to me it always felt odd that tamsin just stormed into stormwind in order to summon anetheron without a REAL plan, outside of "Summon anetheron or i guess i'll die". If she was a lich all this time, then it makes sense that she wouldn't have cared about death... Because she resses infinitely as long as her phylactary is save. (At least i think thats how that works in WoW lore? Tbh i only know WoW lore from nobbel vids i watched quite some time ago, so i might be very wrong on this lol.) And even if she was not a lich yet, in lore they could always make it so tamsin is going to be rewarded by being ressed as a lich by Lady Prestor using a bit of power from some naaru shards, as thanks for creating the Anetheron distraction for her?
Either way i'm very hyped for this expansion, and i really hope we get some actual interactive AND most importantly: FUN gameplay again. (In b4 this comment ages poorly...) :[
What good are hero cards if you are dead on Turn 7? Most hero cards are 7+ mana and if their battlecry didn't have a very powerful effect you couldn't play them anyway. Bloodreaver Guldan filled your board with taunts and Malfurion let you continue to put up your unending scarab wall to stop aggro but the game is way too fast now, maybe even for those cards to have an impact. 20 mana is cool and all, but you have to be alive to use it. Hopefully, I'm wrong and they don't make the hero cards super OP and we have a period like after KoTF and KaC, followed by super weak expansions for the next year.
Feel like this expansion is a perfect time to add a little “faction” icon on all minions that would have a faction. Then you could have “Give all your Alliance minions X” as an effect. Then add those icons to Mercs too so people can stop wondering what faction each character is in, if any.
It might not seem like a big deal, but the physical TCG had these factions as well and either buffs, auras, or other effects that had synergies with certain factions. It would open up some design space and push the AvH fantasy more if implemented. Maybe they’ll surprise us with something like this when reveals start in 30 mins
Great deck as always from you. I’ve been having a ton of fun with Big Demon DH but I’ll definitely branch out and give this a try.
If I may be so bold as to suggest a very stupid idea for a future deck that I have been unable to get out of my head: Questline Mecha’thun Demon Hunter? Control board, complete quest and discount some combination of Mecha’thun, Voodoo Doll, and a spell to kill the board/the doll to kill Mecha’thun (ala MarkMcKz’s version of the deck from a year+ ago, now with questline support? Absolutely not a good idea but it seems like it could be fun if a smart deck builder like yourself put some thought to it. Just a thought!

Or in terms of these characters;
Cariel (Paladin), Scabbs (Rogue), Tavish (Hunter), Xyrella (Priest), and Kurtrus (Demon Hunter), would be considered Alliance
and then;
Rokara (Warrior), Varden (Mage), Bru'kan (Shaman), Gruff (Druid), and Tamsin (Warlock) would all be Horde.

FYI Ruined King in the Hungarian Epic Games Store is 30 HUF - around $0.10, it's basically free. All the DLC is like 1 cent also.
Edit: the price's fixed now, but the game's still in my library :)
