I must say it was a nice surprise seeing this appear in the achievement log along with new coins for RoS and SoU (I'm not going to spend the dust to get the DoD and AoO ones though). Along with a nice and pretty sultry animation (if that's your kind of thing), it also gives me a nice 1600 dust in the bank if I ever want to dust my golden version.
I'm curious now though. Does diamond Jandice summon a diamond or golden Benedictus? Hmm. That might take a while to test.
1. Otterpus is annoying not OP the only deck that run him are darkness and shellfolk control both are just tier 2 decks.
2. That a good change.
3. Another good change.
4. I don't see any reason to change Stress Defense most of the time is just a worst Flash Freeze. Bandle City decks rarely run this and when they do it usually limited to two copies.
5. If your goal is make the card trash, sure. 2 health is a garbage stat line for any unit who want to trade especially a 4 drop and before you bring twisted fate don't forget that he has a play effect so he always give some value before dying the comparison to Ekko is not a good one either Ekko level up in your deck so most time you are playing Ekko as a 5/3 but more important is that he don't need to trade because of the quick attack keyword (not that he is a good champion to begin with).
If the shop on the main screen and within Mercenaries shows this Edwin bundle as “new” for the end of eternity, I am going to eat my hat.
R.I.P your hat. Honestly why do they do this, its so annoying. Even if you click on every "new" bundle, it will only stop the bundle from being promoted as "new" until you close the game. :(
WOW, that skin looks amazing! And finally a new alternate hero skin for rogue! I'm so happy Edwin is rogues first alternate hero since Maiev*, considering how important Edwin VanCleef was in rogue since basicly launch. Good 'ol reliable Turn 3 20/20 Edwin VanCleef, stealing games for such a long time. Also the skin itself looks amazing, i just hope the animations and voicelines will be as good! If so then this portrait might be the first thing i'm going to buy since the stormwind tavern pass.
*I'm not counting scabbs, cuz its scabbs and he has almost the same amount of portraits as valeera.
It looks like they originally had him with the mask on but then decided to remove it, but they didn't put in the effort to just redraw the whole thing and instead just tagged on the lower half.
The upper and lower part of his face don't match well imo. The lower part is too "torn apart" from the eyes/nose part, at least it feels like it for me. Rest looks cool.
So post patch as the meta begins to settle its become fairly obvious that bandle city is just good...and there's very little mystery as to why.
Having every card in your archetype just cycle, while also allowing you to buff those little dudes with midrange threats like poppy/tristana while also having the best control tools in the game...is maybe a little much.
I've seen bandle VI, I've seen Bandle Lux, I've seen Bandle Poppy, I've seen burn Bandle, Combo bandle tree, I've literally seen every archetype and every deck with just add bandle city.
Are all these decks amazing...actually for the most part they get people to masters and are good for climbing, but let's say they aren't for argument...they are still good enough to fill in the gaps of every archetype and deck.
I have a few suggestions for bandle nerfs that would be healthy:
1. Take away attune on otter, it already cycles and gives you hand disruption
2. Turn all bandle 2/2 cycles into 2/1 to put them on par with telescope or 1/2
3 Put minimorph to 7 mana to put in on par with vengeance
4. Put stress test to 4 mana and buff the dmg to put in on par with fury of the north
5. Put poppy to a 4/2 so it's basically ekko and you can attack make it a 5/3 and protect with burst like usual
This would essentially fix the just add bandle city to every deck problem. Now maybe this doesn't happen till the next expansion to make sure there are new tools for the region and it isn't just deleted but right now it's too good and too universal.
It is the region to beat right now absolutely, and while you can do it, it shouldn't always feel like an uphill battle where you're 10 times better than the opponent just to win the game.
Hi. I got one question: why does the Mercenaries -> Parties show me a list of decks, on the website?
Also, I don't seem able to complete the oozefest item of "visiting the mercenary parties list", even though i've accessed that section. Not sure if these 2 things are related or not.
So finally we have some progress. Having the task board fill up completely might eventually piss those who spent real gold on it (fortunately or unfortunately, I spent a total of 0 gold on this) but this is one step towards reducing the insane grind that is stranger hunting.
Getting you what you want: One of the biggest challenges in Mercenaries has been getting the players the things they really want, in an appropriate way. We like that Bounty Boss rewards provide direction to earning specific coins, and we think that system is working well.
Let us be real here. Has anyone with even a shred of credibility in terms of grinding actually grinded specific bosses to get specific coins? I did it for a while, but I can assure blizzard that a large majority of where I get my coins don't come from doing this.
And why would it be? You can spend upwards to 30 minutes clearing up Thaurissan for diablo coins only to receive none.
Okay, so the game's hardly perfect, but a step is a step. Still, more is needed blizzard.

The animation looks fine, but the card itself hasn't seen play since the FiB and I doubt it'll change before the rotation.
