Yes, he indeed was announced here. Ragnaros as a bartender will be a part of the first Battlegrounds Bundle.
Right after the Fire Festival ends, we’re moving the party over to Battlegrounds! The first-ever Battlegrounds cosmetics go live on July 27 with the Battlegrounds Bundle: Beach Party! The Beach Party includes beach party themed skins for seven different Battlegrounds heroes, as well as the Tikilord Ragnaros alternate Bartender. Tikilord Ragnaros includes a new portrait AND NEW VOICELINES FOR YOUR BATTLEGROUNDS BARTENDER! AMAZING!
Discard aggro got Boom Baboon to compensate for the Rummage nerf so no wonder the decks still works.
Overwhelm decks do overwhelm things so no wonder they also work well.
decks run little interaction as people might have already found out time bombs do NOT stop aggro decks from doing their thing and are overall just too clunky to actually work.
Once we have that clear the effectivity of reputation deck should go down by a lot.
Deep kinda surprises me but I am quite sure the tempo decks emerging in this meta will find a way to stop them... they always find a way.
So nothing too concerning here and I think these decks won't stay at their high winrates
1. Deep has a 56 percent winrate suggesting in the right hands it will work just as well as turbo thralls, this is great the deck used to be unplayable
2. Discard aggro at a 55 percent winrate suggesting the nerf to rumage didn't really hurt it
3. Shurima overwhelm needs a deck list update, but is still hitting 57 percent
4. Thresh Nasus obviously, only got hit on it's aggro lines of play 55 percent
5. Leblanc Sivir , very scary now thanks to the new treasure seeker 58 percent
Honestly, these winrates would be top tier in any other meta and things are so balanced
New bartenders in town (Ragnaros and Ve'nari) are fully voiced just like everyone's favorite Bartender Bob, allowing him to finally be able to take that day off. Their attitudes are going to be just slightly different… Keep trying harder, INSECTS!
Wait, was already announced Ragnaros as a bartender for Battlegrounds??
I can stall other decks and fight them to a standstill but if I get the wrong cards I will be rushed down but I can win about equal with it. Still no idea what to do with Dragons vs Echo maybe kill him before he levels. I am happy to see a lot of different deck types.
While I'm not as optimistic as I may have sounded previously, I doubt it would be too close to miracle rogue given that was central to rogue's Barrens stuff. That said, a hypothetical coin deck would be asking to revive the more traditional spell-based miracle deck using Gadgetzan Auctioneer (who's still around) albeit with extra synergies sprinkled in.
A tribal theme would be very odd when SI:7 doesn't have a tribe to offer. For the sake of entertaining the idea though, Scabbs is a gnome and is seen on a mechanostrider in the UiS cinematic, which might mean a mech mount card, which in turn leaves the door open for mech rogue. Add in the fact mechs are in a weird spot where their only real tribal identity (magnetic) was also a set mechanic - meaning they would be looking for something new to do - and maybe there's some way to satisfy both "new decks we haven't seen" and "just Miracle Rogue again but with a random tribal theme instead".
All unlikely I'm sure, but I'm keen for anything to help me enjoy Standard again.
The problem with priest is that instead of it being an unfun 5 turn game, it is a unfun 20 minute game where the opponent spends 90 seconds generating random answers
Rogue's got some new decks that we haven't seen so I'd look out for those too.
Its always interesting to hear of a truly new deck, and doubly so when it's pluralised to imply multiple new decks. I'm looking forward to a lot of janky stuff in rogue then, which is good because rogue feels a bit too 'Classic' to me in Standard. We have the card Shenanigans, but the last year or so has been disappointingly light on actual shenanigans for the class.
As for speculation, I wonder if there will be a coin-based deck to tie in with the tradeable/market theme and make use of Tomb Pillager since he was added to the Core set. Presumably SI:7 drives a spy-based mechanic too. Perhaps some cards will be able to see the opponent's hand while others will make use of that somehow?
I don't think they mean a code bound limit. I think it more means design generation cards in a way where you can't go near infinite. Avoid situations where classes are generating enough cards that they generate more generate cards and go off.
yeah that literally sounds like "we fucked up and don't know how to actually fix this so we'll resort to insane bandaid fixes".
Literally the only problem with Priest right now is how small the random pool is so they almost always get good cards. I'm pretty sure by the time the mini set arrives the problem will have resolved itself and with the next rotation half of the randomly generating nonsenese is rotating anyways
I'd would like feed back on what yall think would make it better I really want a deck build that boost the attack and defense power of all cards like this one but I feel like it could have more potential I just don't know what else to do also im new to the game if not obvious
This is so weird since Mind Blast is no longer in standard, so making a burn deck is really difficult and the best priest cards are not shadow. Still I love cards that do something kinda new and this is it.

Screeching Dragon is your friend. Single Combat is also a good option, just be careful when using it on a 2 health unit since they can counter that with Mystic Shot and Hexite Crystal.

I mean they literally said "capping the nummber of spells that can be created" which very clearly indicates a hard limit which shouldn't be a thing
