I might be in the minority here, but I'm not too hot on that Ragnaros skin. Not enough flame animations for me, and I really don't like portraits where the hero is looking off to the side. 

I love the Inferno Uther one. He looks like a dwarf in that portrait. 

I'm no lore expert but isn't Sylvanas undead?

Also pretty sure Nemsy's a gnome.

The card looks fine, but needs more support actually the standar shadow spells are controllish, just Raise Dead, Auspicious Spirits, Psyche Split, Palm Reading, Insight and Thrive in the Shadows can fit in a aggro/midrange deck, and some of them are bad or not worth cards.

I hope that the new legendary quest sinergizes with Darkbishop Benedictus in some way, could be cool!

I would love for more non human/elf/orc skins of any class. The game has so many races and we only get humans with big teeth and humans with long ears and eyebrows. Where are the Worgen, Undead, maybe even gnomes/goblins? They made an Onyxya skin but she looks like Jaina with hair dye! Could have been first real Dragon skin.

They already have heroes from the adventures fully voiced and animated and all. Why not sell them? It's so frustrating, could be literally easy money and a great benefit to players, but they don't do it.

Does anyone know if the Tradeable mechanic is a one time effect? Or continuous and can be used multiple times on the same card

Yes, 3rd of August 

So it's Excavated Evil for 1 less mana and the new tradable mechanic. It's not bad and mage needs some lower cost AOE other than Flamestrike

Edit: That flavour text (Everything is 50% off now that our warehouse burned down.) hits too close to home man 🤦‍♀️

Quote From ElSabidon

Control priest is currently too dependant on Renew and Apotheosis for keeping themselves alive, both of which are Holy spells. Not only that, Draconic Studies is also in the deck to help fixing their curve.

So, while there is a chance control Priest switches to full Shadow spells (both Insight and Thrive in the Shadows, aka, their semi tutored draw engines), switching from a resource generation gameplan to a more proactive one where there is a clear win condition (like C'Thun, the Shattered), we need more support for that deck. Like I said, shadow priest loses their survivability and Palm Reading can only get you so far. Even Clown Priest, who actually uses the shadow draw engine, also includes at least Renew.

This is clearly a wait and see card, but the last two Start of Game cards that interacted with your Hero Power were deemed too strong for the game and removed from standard prematurely, which makes me very scared of Darkbishop Benedictus's ability to warp the meta.

I guess the Priest who runs this package may like the Panda Importer (which gives you a spell which was not in your deck) to get the necessar Holy spells.

What's the point of adding Shadowform to the core set then? This card is cool, don't get me wrong. Just feel there's a big misdirect, considering Shadowform is now useless 🤔

I see an "all archetype" WL on the horizon. This questline with Tamsin, Soulfragments and on top the Neeru package. May be greedy, but hey so much synergies: you play a Backfire and *bam* self-damage for the quest, draw cards to proc the new Weapon (edit: Runed Mithril Rod) - hey there was a Soulfragment to heal back up and draw another card and additionally the deck is thinned for Neeru. Five positve effects for your game plan in a three mana card!

edit: Small counter synergy with Neeru and the Fragments, though.

Easy 1-star rating. It will die to easily and you don't want a card the may draw you a card in 1 out 20 games. Also a bad top deck later on.

We don't know the Warrior quest line now. If its requirement would be to gain armor this will be judged differently. But right now I don't see it fitting in a deck. 

(And on the other hand I think the Warrior QL will be related to the rush keyword.)

This card is so much better than Spikeridged Steed and only for 1 mana more. Also with all of priest's mana cost reductions and infinite card generation, this spell will be quite difficult to deal with. Might even warrant running silence or more transform effects 

It's a good card, with lots of value, but that's not really hunter's thing. Also this at 3 mana screws up the Barak Kodobane and Olgra, Mankrik's Wife combo

I guess MarkMcKz will love this card! Up to 4 additional Thaurrisian procs for him and his expensive combos.

In Standard can be strong, too. It's nice that it synergizes perfectly with the big hand size you'll have when it procs. And you want many cards reduced.

There are many spells you don't put in you deck because they are to situational. On the other hand these cards are often good to discover because you are in that specific situation. And limiting the spell pool to those situational spells may be good. But the math has to be checked.

Nope on Arrow. Not sure if you saw it but the maiden voyage in May actually had a 3-way tie: I won it by guessing correct the first riddle into June where ALL tied were available to guess (I had to skip the first one because it was one of our turns or something).

I'll try to post the standings a week before a month ends. Remind me if it's getting close and I havent

EDIT: oh I see what you're saying. And I agree. When asked it is! Note that the tiebreaker question technically ends up counting for both months.

I kinda like this one. Priest can discount spells and therefor this could come down earlier in the game. Even if Not it is pretty ok for 7 Mana.

The only thing i want to know is what stats the Elekk has that gets summoned? is it also a 4/7 ? 

Yes, the Mount has (so far) always the stats of the buff. nd the effect.

Quote From Almaniarra

I would even love to have an Anub'arak skin for rogue, even it isn't really a rogue. Something different than valeera please ! Ok, reward track skins of Valeera is lovely but i don't mind some change after those years. Maiev was released on Year of the Mammoth and it passed Mammoth, Raven and Dragon and now we are middle of Phoenix and she was a warden, lol.

3,5 years without an alternate character for rogue. I will call this, weird. nothing more, nothing less.

Maybe some Ethereal hero or a Kobold maybe? Even Wrathion might fit to the role but an undead would be great but best fit would be Trade Prince Gallywix for sure.

And after those years, Where is Garona Portait Blizzard ?

Why do Blizzard forget about rogue mains i really can't get it.

Phoenix was last year. We're now in the Year of the Gryphon, so it's even worse!

Looking back at past rogue legendaries reveals just how easy it would be for them to quickly catch rogue up in a satisfying way. Gallywix, Lilian, Togwaggle and Hooktusk all seem like a waste not to have made into hero portraits (Hooktusk largely because we already know how brilliant her emotes were in Rumble Run).

As you said, Anub'arak is a solid oddball choice and wouldn't be the first skin that is quite distant from the class they're in. Meanwhile Myra would be a welcome addition as a master of poisons, and arguments can easily be made in favour of Aya, Akama, Edwin, Shaku and Wrathion too.

Add in major rogues from Warcraft lore yet to make it into HS, such as Garona and Shaw, and it really is baffling that they can't find a time to add them when there is no issue adding the likes of Horseman Uther, Firefang Rexxar and Annhylde. (I have nothing against Annhylde. She's just a good example of where these portraits can appear without needing any link to expansions. I guess her link was Shadowlands in WoW, but that's tenuous since she doesn't actually appear there as far as I know.)

I kinda like this one. Discovering something that is defenitely not in your deck could help you out sometimes. 

Meh .... will not see play.
