Decent stats, nice removal with the Deathrattle, and can be traded if it's not useful at the moment it's drawn. I guess it's a good beast, but it depends on whether or not a beast heavy Hunter deck will see play
My favorite card of the new expansion! The art is amazing, and the flavor is just as good. Not sure it'll be good at the moment, as it may need more Fel spells in order to shine, but definitely and early craft given how cool it is!
A good defensive tool, that can be sent back into the deck when it isn't needed. It'll put a stop to many an aggro deck, so it might actually be worth playing once the meta starts shifting into that direction
I got to level 288, with the pass. In DMF, I got well over level 300, but played a little less HS this expansion because I was busy IRL and with other games. Happy with my haul, and lots of gold on hand to supplement my packs from the pre-orders as needed. I am really hyped for UiS.
I'm pretty sure Mage will get some sort of nerf bat too and I hope it's Incanter's Flow for good this time.
Also Priest is, as expected, probably the worst Quest of them all. It's actually quite bizarre how unplayably slow it is (although you can absolutely dumpster some slower decks). Thankfully too because not only does it feel awful to play but also awful to play against. It's just a really unpleasant deck.
Considering it not only reduces the cost of Elementals in hand but also in the deck, I'd say this card is looking quite strong. Hopefully Elemental Shaman will keep on being good, as it's actually a fun deck to play!
Shouldn't be too hard to complete, and the payoff is quite decent. Not the best of questlines, but not the worst either. It's somewhat balanced, I believe
I bought the arena ticket, played through both of my runs, and now have an additional 45 gold that will haunt me until the end of time. Thanks OutofCards, thanks a lot.
So I cracked all my new United in Stormwind packs that I was able to amass from the gold I've been saving over the past month and crafted a few of the decks for the quests and I gotta say this... Hunter and Warrior are not only ridiculously easy to do, but probably NEED to be nerfed.
I took the garden variety Dwarven Defense deck for Hunter with no changes and just ROFL stomped every single player I came across. This works even more viciously in Wild with Baku. I was able to accomplish it as soon as turn 6 and just destroy my opponent.
The Warrior quest was nearly almost as easy to complete. Once The Juggernaut hits the board, it's kinda GG for your opponent. I didn't even try to make a competitive deck, I just threw in some Pirates and Coerce into a deck and destroyed my opponents.
I've tried the Druid quest and it was lack luster to say the least but that was expected in the card reveal. I got 2-4 of the other quests that I need to try as well, but honestly, I was shocked at how easy it was to just beat your opponent with the quest rewards of those two so far, so even though the Hunter quest is the ONE thing that has got me liking that class finally after the passed 7 years of playing this game, it really needs to be nerfed as it is waaaaaaaaaaaay too easy to complete. Thoughts on this and your experiences so far?
Seems like Varian, King of Stormwind is not counting toward the achievement. I got it when I opened packs early and it allows me to disenchant it for full dust for some reason.
I got to 186 today (no pass) - did bgs to get up to the next level so my XP wasn't wasted. I agree about golden epics in the rewards track, some people love the cosmetic value but they are only good if you've not opened the non-golden already as far as I am concerned.
Had 5 quests on the edge of completion for the new track - and already claimed the level 20 legendary reward.
Had a good opening this time unlike last few expacs. And was lucky enough to win a mega bundle last night with less than 24 hours to go to launch.
So all in all, yay!
Good luck with your pack openings everyone if you've not opened them yet.
A lot of health, making it harder to remove, and the downside is actually helpful towards completing the questline. It might actually see play because of that
Peasant
I see he obeys the rule of 3s despite having two arms.
New Hunter Minion - Imported Tarantula
Decent stats, nice removal with the Deathrattle, and can be traded if it's not useful at the moment it's drawn. I guess it's a good beast, but it depends on whether or not a beast heavy Hunter deck will see play
New Warlock Spell - Dreaded Mount
Seems a bit too weak, but I might be wrong. Don't think it's worth playing it at 3 mana, honestly
New Demon Hunter Minion - Jace Darkweaver
My favorite card of the new expansion! The art is amazing, and the flavor is just as good. Not sure it'll be good at the moment, as it may need more Fel spells in order to shine, but definitely and early craft given how cool it is!
New Druid Spell - Best in Shell
A good defensive tool, that can be sent back into the deck when it isn't needed. It'll put a stop to many an aggro deck, so it might actually be worth playing once the meta starts shifting into that direction

New Druid Spell - Lost in the Park
Perhaps this will be the beginning of a new archetype. At first glance, it doesn't seem that great, but I might be proven wrong
New Shaman Spell - Investment Opportunity
A simple yet versatile tool, it'll probably see play in most Shaman decks, specially ones running the questline
New Neutral Minion - Deeprun Engineer
Guess it'll be okay in Wild, for some decks that run Mechs. I don't see how useful this could be, though
New Neutral Minion - Package Runner
Was never a fan of these types of cards. Seems too situational, and even when it gets to attack it's just not that great
SI:7 Skulker
I like the pun in the flavor text
New Warlock Minion - Bloodbound Imp
A lot of health, making it harder to remove, and the downside is actually helpful towards completing the questline. It might actually see play because of that
New Rogue Minion - SI:7 Operative
Since it has low attack and not that much health, it'll probably only be worth running for the Rogue questline
New Warrior Minion - Harbor Scamp
Simple and straightforward. Will work great towards the new Warrior questline, and that's more than enough
New Neutral Minion - SI:7 Skulker
Nothing insane, but still one more tool for the Rogue questline. Won't see any play outside of that, though
Blizzard President J. Allen Brack Leaves the Company After California's Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Filed & Employee Walkout
When the next scandal come along, people will be scratching your heads going "Huh, what happened? The villains were defeated!"
New Paladin Spell - Noble Mount
Divine Shield on a big minion is always great, and since it only costs 2 mana it might actually see some play
New Rogue Spell - Find the Imposter
Doesn't seem very impactful, but still a fun questline for sure. Hopefully a competitive deck can be made around those gizmos and SI:7 cards
