An interesting card for sure. Even if fire mage doesn't become a thing, it's still very nice against aggro to get that earlier Flamestrike, or help out with a Fireball finisher
It looks nice at first glance, but how often do Mages want to play expensive spells like that? Unless I'm missing something, it's not really worth running a 4/5 when you could just cast the spell instead
It has great art and flavor, but I don't think it's strong enough to warrant a spot in a deck. Perhaps if fire mage becomes an actual thing it might, but for now I have doubts about that
When I first saw this card I thought it was insane, but after seeing it played on the theorycrafting streams, I'm convinced it's harder to pull off than I initially thought. It might become a competitive deck, but then the meta will shift more towards aggro to punish Priests running it (like it usually does with any control decks)
It's an interesting finisher, but looks more like something that you discover in order to finish off an opponent than a card you actively add to your deck
Huzzah! The expansion cometh, and y'all have pulled off another reveal season in as fine a style as always. Pretty impressive, considering the shuttered card reveals and card reveal streams. Thanks for making it exciting.
Also, I'm flattered that my deck appeared among those community favorites. Even despite mentioning Jaina's hooters in the guide, haha.
It has good stats, and should be able to be played at a reduced cost rather consistently, so it might be a key card if the draw archetype for the quest becomes competitive
That's some pretty slick building! Where's the Hearthstone lego at to combine your previous passion with your new one? :D
Lego is awesome. A few years back I purchased some of the lego trains stuff since it was a childhood dream to have one of them. Being a member of the lego club and getting the magazine every month or two, those damn trains always taunted me. Relegated to a plastic bin because I don't have a dedicated space for them post building, I hope one day I can setup a dedicated room to build out a city, another dream.
Its such a relaxing activity building sets or creating your own stuff with the mix of pieces collected over the years, so congrats on revisiting the hobby!
This is the card with the most hype for me right now, I got got a golden Neeru Fireblade but with this you want to get into fatigue, damaging the opponent, it's almost suicidal but is very interesting to play it
I got busy with site stuff and made it to level 70. Also, Battlegrounds isn't great for farming experience so the Hearthstone that I did play last expansion, minus the first week, didn't amount to much in the rewards track.
Imagine running a Hearthstone site and not reaching level 100. OMEGALUL
How Many Arrows Do You Have?! - Deal 12 damage with your Hero Power in one turn as Hunter.
Can easily be completed without any Stormwind cards in Wild already. Use an Odd deck or Justicar Trueheart to upgrade the hero power, play Tour Guide or Fencing Coach the turn before the combo to make the Hero Power cost 0 and then either
New Mage Spell - Hot Streak
An interesting card for sure. Even if fire mage doesn't become a thing, it's still very nice against aggro to get that earlier Flamestrike, or help out with a Fireball finisher
New Mage Minion - Clumsy Courier
It looks nice at first glance, but how often do Mages want to play expensive spells like that? Unless I'm missing something, it's not really worth running a 4/5 when you could just cast the spell instead
New Mage Minion - Grand Magus Antonidas
It has great art and flavor, but I don't think it's strong enough to warrant a spot in a deck. Perhaps if fire mage becomes an actual thing it might, but for now I have doubts about that
New Priest Spell - Seek Guidance
When I first saw this card I thought it was insane, but after seeing it played on the theorycrafting streams, I'm convinced it's harder to pull off than I initially thought. It might become a competitive deck, but then the meta will shift more towards aggro to punish Priests running it (like it usually does with any control decks)
New Rogue Spell - Garrote
It's an interesting finisher, but looks more like something that you discover in order to finish off an opponent than a card you actively add to your deck
New Hunter Weapon - Leatherworking Kit
It doesn't look that great, honestly. The payoff is too little for this to warrant a spot in any deck
New Druid Spell - Composting
Very strong for token druid, since this along with Glowfly Swarm has the potential to be a hand refill

Wow thanks for featuring my deck - as always great job with the reveal season! Enjoy the first days of Stormwind everyone :)
New Druid Minion - Vibrant Squirrel
Even without drawing the accorns, a 1 mana 2/1 is still nice for token Druid, so I see this being a new staple card of that deck
New Demon Hunter Minion - Irebound Brute
It has good stats, and should be able to be played at a reduced cost rather consistently, so it might be a key card if the draw archetype for the quest becomes competitive
New Neutral Minion - Lady Prestor
Hard to imagine this card being competitive, but it does look fun and should make for some interesting moments with big dragons costing 1 mana
New Neutral Minion - Elwynn Boar
It doesn't look that great, and it's likely very hard to pull off the Deathrattle, but who cares? It looks awesome, and the reference is amazing!

New Warlock Spell - The Demon Seed
By far the most interesting quest, since it totally changes the dynamic of the game. Looking forward to trying it out!

New Neutral Minion - Elwynn Boar
Wow, just... For The Meme! (Charges at anemy)
5 stars
New Neutral Minion - Lady Prestor
I just want a 1 mana Alextrazsa with Lady Prestor, very powerful if Yogg bless you
New Demon Hunter Minion - Irebound Brute
Pushing the quest very hard, but for now it will be discounted just or 2 mana
New Druid Minion - Vibrant Squirrel
In a deck with some realiable draw options it will become a swarm deck in a moment
New Druid Spell - Composting
Very strong for token decks, and maybe get rid of draw spell mechanic
New Hunter Weapon - Leatherworking Kit
Very good for any beast deck, not just the quest or The Rat King ones

New Rogue Spell - Garrote
Is a reverse for your enemy Soul Fragment, and if you manage to discover it is a great delayed damage
Achievement Hunting: United in Stormwind edition

If you upgraded the Hero Power with Justicar, Garrison Commander can also be used instead of Pixie.
