I think the main takeaway is that if I were to make a list of all Hearthstone cards in standard and ask players to pick their favorite one. I imagine Illucia would be high on the list. That has to count for something.

Really? Is there really a big illucia following in hearthstone? Far as I know, its either never mentioned in discussions, or spoken negatively because lets face it, no one wants to be illucia-ed.

Also, how many times is someone going to ask Iksar what his favorite anime is. Seems like this one gets in nearly every Q&A session. Is he bumping up some ads for fullmetal alchemist and/or naruto?

Easy math time card fans.

If you run a deck with 3 mystic shots what are your chances of having more then one in your opening hand?

How likely is it to have more then one combat trick in hand when you run 10 of them or more?

Therefore unless you have flock the only piece.of removal that combos with your other removal attempts you will always loose 9/10 games when this line of play occurs.

Pass pass, Zed

Pass Pass, Darius

Pass, Pass, thing, sivir, ruin runner

And the reason is that no matter what you play your removal attempts will be answered by the increasing number of cheap, efficient, and powerful burst spells being printed.

So what happens? Decks just start cutting removal entirely unless it's something like grappling hook, or whirling death, or single combat.

Like I think the devs need to understand one simple thing, for every combat trick printed there must be an equal and opposite piece of removal printed.

Otherwise it's just gonna be, play 1 thing, keep that thing alive when played, burst the opponent down to 0 after two swings...yaaah fun.

There are so many cool decks in this game, so many cool mechanics, so much intricacy and champions and deck building options

All to be boiled down to Pass Pass thing, combo out burst...why even design good cards when they will never succeed in that combat trick heavy environment?

I'm learning now that there are a lot fewer fel spells in DH than I thought

I like to imagine the token generated by Jace, Mirror Mage is actually Jace Darkweaver but he's so good at illusions that you can't tell.

Wow I already Fel for this card 

Questions...? Pretty simple if you work with what is given

IDK , i feel like this is kinda weak.  Though paladin has had it's day in the sun so not a big deal

No DH spells. Fury, Chaos Strike and Metamorphosis seem to be the closest things. Fury could be interesting if you can recast the higher rank versions

Being across the planet from California has allowed me to catch the card as soon as it's been revealed! It feels about as good as commenting "first" on a Youtube video: completely unsatisfying and providing no addition to the discussion other than indication of my meaningless superiority over all the other forum members. 

Oh I guess Jace is pretty cool too. I'm not good at rating cards.

This looks decent. Kind of like a mix between Solarian Prime and Zul'jin. I think with the right mix of spells you can end up with a consistently good result out of it.

This style of cards worked pretty well in Paladin and was ok in Mage (but those were random not replay, with replay you have much more control) so can be good if here is any kind of good combination of fel spells

So which fel spells can go face?

To my understanding, I think you have to play 3 different 1-costs 3 times, meaning if you play Argent Squire, Righteous Protector and Knight of Anointment to satisfy the first part of the sidequest, you can use those minions again to satisfy the second part.

I really like the Book of Heroes since it allows some of the lore developed in World of Warcraft to be put into Hearthstone, bringing the two universes closer together. Another fringe benefit is that by understanding the flavour behind the classes, custom content becomes better. It's a pet peeve of mine to see people attaching the "evil" stereotype to Death Knight or Demon Hunter custom cards since neither class is actually inherently evil. In fact, most people that become Demon Hunters are actually very noble, who then turn into vigilantes. 

Something else I enjoy is that within my friend circle that plays Hearthstone, I'm the only one that is also invested in WoW and its lore. Nobody believed me when I told them that Gul'dan is actually dead, which is why Demon Hunter gets his skull as a spell, and also why he says "alas, poor Warlock". That moment of reveal when they finally realised that not only Gul'dan, but Garrosh and Uther are also canonically dead was the best "I told you so" feeling I've had in a while. Yeah it's petty, but I take pride in my relatively poor knowledge of the WoW canon.

I'm getting The Marsh Queen vibes from this!... and that's not a good thing. It's good that it's not limited to 1-cost Minions, so 1 cost spells like First Day of School or Conviction (Rank 1) will count, but filling your deck with a bunch of 1-cost things runs into the problem of their value dropping off very quickly and needing to lots of card draw to pump them out.

Incoming first day of school nerf

So is it 9 different cards or 3 different cards 3 times?

3 different cards 3 times

Needs some additional support, but baseline is nice... we have already First Day of School to help with this

So is it 9 different cards or 3 different cards 3 times?

This could be an alternate win condition for Secret Paladin, you don't necessarily have to make dude pally to maximize this quest

Oh this is just amazing. No, not the reward. The fact that the second prize is to basically allow you to play odd paladin in standard. And what do we have to do to claim this prize? Play six 1 mana cost card. That's it?

So basically you fill your deck with fifteen 1 cost card/minions, get the upgraded hp hopefully by turn 3-4, and from then onwards your opponent will need to either kill you quickly, or continually respect your dudes on board because if they don't they just get destroyed either by a sudden Lightborn Cariel out of nowhere, or just plain Conviction (Rank 2).

After looking at the quests revealed so far, its amazing how slow everyone else's quests are and how ridiculously quickly you can finish up paladin's. One card alone, First Day of School, provides fuel to complete 1 tier of the quest. If there are downsides with this, the requirement is for 3 different 1 cost card. Not sure how the second and third tier requirement will interact with the first. So if I play first day of school to complete the first does that mean I cant do the same for the second and third?

Got anymore of them Tavern Crawls ?
