What signals are team5 sending us? Is this card really so OP if it could hit face? 

Or, given that it can't go face, would 4 attack be OP?

I thought a baguette was a female bagel?

Why are we talking about bread anyway? Now I want a sandwich. 

This may be the card that gets me to play demon hunter. I love big payoff cards like this that encourage unique deck building. Hopefully this opens some doors for demon hunter to play some slower archetypes.

First Day of School is a single card that completes an entire phase of the quest by itself, so that is a plus. I imagine this could run into a similar problem as The Marsh Queen where your deck struggles from trying to complete the quest consistently with a bunch of 1-drops, but also not wanting to fill up your deck with nothing but 1 cost cards. Maybe with First Day of School that problem wont be as big, but I am still doubtful.

Honestly I think the 5 mana final reward is the big downfall of the questlines. I really love the design with mini rewards in the middle of the quest, but the final 5 mana just feels like too much.

Board presence implies having multiple units on board. As just stated the majority of the top tier decks go all in on one champ, usually a cheap one with quick attack.

There are two deck that play that way Zed/Sivir and Akhsan/Sivir and yes they are very annoying to deal with but two decks is not what I would describe as a majority.

It's also a 4/2 weapon; it doesn't need much upside to be good enough. Maybe copying the deathrattle of Sneaky Delinquent or Devouring Ectoplasm is already enough in an aggressive Rogue deck.

If a lion that has a boars deathrattle dies, i don't think that counts towards the total. It has to be the boar.  Same with Vectus.  All it will do is trigger the sword equip if you have already had 7 boars die.

I don't think zoo/demon lock will be a viable deck, but this is a step in the right direction. The extra board stability is nice, and you never have to be weighed down with a clunky 5-drop in your hand if you don't currently have a board.

@madcat: looks correct for me as additionally the first letters of each line are W-A-N-D.

Would Handlock even be playable in today's meta? Sure, it's not a bad card at all, but I feel like the days of Warlocks just stacking their hands is kind of long gone.

This seems a lot easier to trigger than [Hearthstone Card (mogu cultists) Not Found] since you can play them at any points throughout the game. I also don't think it will be nearly as hard to trigger as it seems. The deathrattle does specify that all 7 boars have to die, so I don't think you will be able to cheat it by triggering the deathrattles extra times. You also aren't able to bounce the cards with brewmasters and such, which may make it harder. But you could easily use Raise Dead and Teron Gorefiend to get enough copies. 

Do you reckon Bolner Hammerbeak would fit in this list? Would be great to double up on Fire Elemental or Primal Dungeoneer, or even Menacing Nimbus.

for anyone wondering what this is for, it's for random mechanics that involve some kind of evolution effects or random summoning minions to have a chance of screwing the person casting the spell

at least that's my theory on why do they actually print these cards that everybody knows from the start won't see any play otherwise

Nerf to Serpentshrine Portal

But would that avoid your death? I know that lifesteal is applied before the player death check, but I don't know about weapon deathrattles.

I guess it would have to be: if you copied the deathrattle from Deranged Doctor, you'd expect it to heal you before you die.

Maybe it would have been playable if it always decreased one card and increased another card every turn. Then you would be sure to get one card to play ahead of curve and you could play the other card on a later turn when mana is less tight. Even with that change, I think it would need to be a 3/4.

This reminds me of all the times I have played Mana Tide Totem and my opponent just left it. I then proceeded to overdraw and go into fatigue ten turns before my opponent.

Drawing a ton of extra cards sounds amazing, but 4 cards per turn is just too many to be able to keep up with. And even if you don't draw any additional cards, you will still go into fatigue after only 5 turns.

THat's better than Twilight Drake which is already a good card

WTF is this BS on the 2nd encounter! I don't draw any shaman spells to actually win ffs
