13th November update: MartianBuu's Blessed Shudderwock Shaman to Legend, ft. Cornelius Roame!

I played a MartianBuu deck to legend. Dirty Rats. Macaws. Cornelius Roame. Glorious!

I doubt it. The 2 legendaries each class gets usually support two different Archetypes.

November 1st?

But the shop will be almost empty without it!

Just kidding - I can't keep up with the shop's offerings anymore.

Thanks to OOC for making it clear when free stuff comes along :)

Well, yeah. It's been on ice this whole time.

So the biggest thing holding back Karma Ezreal was how combo dependent the deck was and reliant on lining up all the pieces to win.

But with Jayce he can win games on his own, and Ezreal can win games on his own, and together they super win games.

Pretty solid control package that also allows you to deny other jayce decks While removing their cycling pieces essentially for free with eye and ezreal.

The only change I'm making is Karma Jayce instead of Ezreal Jayce

Plays better into the bandlewood mirror where it's just like hey take all the time you need, my deck has infinite spell value to kill you, and you just have infinite board value which we don't really care about.

Despite the obvious story reasons for them, penta-class cards seem a touch overkill; they might as well just be fully neutral at that point. Nevertheless, you are of course right that we don't know what the main set mechanics are, and Drek'thar and Vanndar might be their flag-bearers. Let's hope they are.

I find it really hilarious when the IA smugly emotes even after making stupid plays. Like wasting valuable removal on your 1 drops.

Just wanted to point out how many cool and flavorful cards are there this week.

Popsicle Bru'kan

"Frostchampion Brukan" as hero?

Scabbs' arc hasn't even begun yet, since he's just been a tag-along who we know was sent by SI:7 to recover a naaru shard, but that's about it. I suspect his sleuthing exposing Onyxia as the nefarious driver of the overarching naaru shard stuff will kick off act 3 of the story. We currently have no idea why anyone except maybe Rokara and Tavish (both for clan reasons) would go to AV in the first place, so we're probably still in Stormwind for the next installment, and only Scabbs has anything interesting left to do there. It would mean breaking the alternating Horde and Alliance sequence of the story, but it would make sense that Scabbs is more or less solo for most of it, and in fact he might spend more time with the Horde crew rescuing Varden from the Stockades than his Alliance buddies who are all caught up with Tamsin's mess.

Back on Drek'thar, he's the biggest name in AV, and unlike Edwin or Naralex he's right in the thick of it, not siphoned off to a dungeon. Leaving him out of the main set makes me wonder what exactly the AV theme would be doing that they dismiss the biggest characters from the roster.

I think the story will continue without tamsin, cariel and kurtrus. All three have reached the end of their storylines, and theres no reason why any of them will continue on barring the usual power of friendship bs. It'll be especially weird if kurtrus went along, seeing that both Anatheron is dealt with, and Cariel's arc is complete. What, are they going to introduce another demon for him to vent his vengeance on just so he can appear in the third expansion?

Trade Only?: Yes

I'd be very cautious about Tamsin staying dead. She died once already, it just seems like a formality. It'd be really weird if all the mercs make it back except her and she just gets replaced by some complete randie.

Then again, I have no idea where this story is going in the first place so who knows.

Not gonna lie, I had to do a double take and make sure I didn't somehow miss April 1st (in the middle of November).

I guess it just follows that after Shadow Priest and Control HUnter they'd try to make yet another meme of the past happen.

Time flies really fast: it was actually 4 years ago when Knights of the Frozen Throne was released.

Kislev.

I could think of a few that do

While I would be praying that none of them would, it would be strange if there wasn't at least one frost spell from shaman that doesn't freeze. There's only so many things you can design as a frost spell that would not freeze or combo with freezes.

I'll be eagerly waiting for the reveals. But if they can print bs like Ray of Frost and Flurry (Rank 1), I wouldn't put it past them to do something similar with a shaman spell.

well ... he never really went anywhere ^^

Only like 2 years late, but Freeze Shaman is back on the menu boys!

I am kind of suprised to see this here. I wonder if there are a lot of people here who play the game? 

Frost spells don't necessarily have to Freeze. According to Dean Ayala, the reason Freeze Shaman was so laughable back in KotFT was the entire package was nerfed after the balance team realized that consistently freezing stuff was obnoxious to play against. I have a conspiracy theory that Thrall, Deathseer was a Freeze-based card at that point, given that card's theming and voicelines.

With Frost spells, they can just be regular spells with the Frost tag.
