curious to see how many of those matches are actually gonna be Noz vs Noz. specially cause i can only play after work, so im guessing most have completed the quest and ill be playing a 29 card deck
Better than the Mage questline imo. I believe this works with Fatigue damage and they are continuing to push that archetype. If that's the case, this becomes crazy good. Probably don't run Jaraxxus anymore, favoring tapping to deal 2+Fatigue every turn. Excited to see what new cards are revealed to make a Delete-lock deck!
I expect the BG heroes pack to be real cheap. They don't need emotes which cuts down on dev work and the fact that you can only use them occasionally due to the way BGs hero choice works, its a tough pitch to try and sell them even $5 a piece.
I bet that pack is going to be $20. They'll then do bundles of heroes for BGs going forward, thematic to events or expansions going on, never allowing individual purchases (though gold could be used at some point).
I've been having the same issue with the quests not being worth as much as they used to, but the weekly quests existence outweigh the loss of daily quest value, making the whole system seem better as we are generally getting more gold by the end of an expansion... But it is more work
Alright this seems like a great card that we can enjoy using today already. It seems good for tempo plays by picking the adventurer, and the heal is also great for control decks. The Plaguelands thing seems really interesting, now that's a lot of damage!
I think both Control AND aggro decks will run Flightmaster Dungar just because of it's super flexible options. Also it's ODD Costed so some ODD decks might experiment with him at the very least. I expect him to see a lot of play in a lot of decks later today, AND after the expansion drops!
Honestly were getting so many great 3 cost legendaries like [Hearthstone Card (Archdruid Naralax) Not Found] and Mankrik. Sooner or later were going to have too many options for 3 cost neutral legendaries to add into our decks lol.
Super interesting card. It LUCKELY does heal you after each Questline, which is great but it still requires a lot of self damage. But with cards like Spice Bread Baker (the 4 mana 3/2 in the reveal stream) it might not be too bad. Also it works GREAT with some kind of Neeru Fireblade. Why? Because the end reward makes all damage you take on your turn, and deals it to your opponent instead. Well what burn/self damage can you use? FATIGUE. Fatigue is damage you take on your turn, and works really well with the Neeru Fireblade package, not only that but i'm pretty sure Fatigue damage can also finish the questline should you run out of selfdamage stuff. Not only that but remember Darkglare is still a card that is in standard!
Speaking about Darkglare, i'm not sure this quest sees play in Darkglare warlock because they kill you with giants on turn 4/5. But i wouldnt be surprised to see some versions with the quest show up.
All in all a really interesting questline that looks fun to experiment with at the very least!
*Note about the Fatigue stuff, i heard Regis killbin talk about it on the card review video, so don't get mad at me if that interaction doesn't work that way lol.
They give us a new free hero skin and your complaint is that they’re greedy for not giving us a better hero skin?
Yes, corporations are greedy and profit-driven. There are a lot of things I’d change about the structure of the world today. But I’m fine with a free game giving us more free stuff and a completely optional cosmetic purchase. Somehow, I don’t feel “squeezed“ at all.
Hmm hard to judge. This seems really solid in decks that play a more control style (and maybe burn you down late game, comparable to Soul DH?) Of course the deck does need to run spells from 3 spell schools, which isn't that hard. But it's still weird to see this after we got spell school support last expansion/mini set. Also the rewards are pretty nice, after completing the 1st step you draw a card, making up for the "lost draw" in the mulligan. The 2nd reward discovers a spell, meaning that you can probably discover a spell from a spell school that you still need in order to finish the questline.
Honestly these questlines seem so cool, another great take on quests! My only fear is that their going to be too slow, because FACEstone be FACEstone.. :(
First Legends of Runeterra releases a new mini-expansion along with the biggest balance patch ever and now this? Was Christmas moved to July without me knowing or something???
Hmm interesting card. Good stats and interesting for getting a coin, but it also gives your opponent one. The best uses for it are some kind of mill deck because you can fill your opponents hand with coins. (actually might be fun in Shudderwock shaman, even though you do get coins yourself.) Mailbox Dancer is definately going to see some.. interesting play.
This is tough to judge, but unless you have something else you plan on doing turn 1, you just play this and hope you get the cards required to make the payoff worth it. +3 spell damage can be nuts!

New Neutral Minion - Rustrot Viper
Rustrot Viper is straight up power creep over Gluttonous Ooze, with potential upside as a Beast (or possible downside with N'Zoth, God of the Deep if you prefer another Beast to return.)

I main Mage and even I'm sick of mage skins.
New Hunter Spell - Ramming Mount
Have a good sinergy with Trampling Rhino, but maybe is too slow.
That card isn't for face decks, but maybe can shine in midrange/combo decks.

Wow, the rag and runner up card backs are incredible. I like how they have been willing to bend the rules lately with card backs.

We get six packs and a Hero Skin for free. That seems like an odd way to "squeeze customers for as much money as possible" . . .
A better post would have been - "thanks for the free stuff Blizzard - I like that we get the option to buy some cosmetics, too! Hallelujah!"
New Warlock Weapon - Runed Mithril Rod
Broken card, warlock have tons of ways to draw a massive amount of cards, there will be an otkish combo for sure with that card.

New Neutral Minion - Flightmaster Dungar
I like this card. I feel like the 12 damage is the most appealing option, but this will probably go in all Warlock decks for the delayed +10 heal.
New Neutral Minion - Impatient Shopkeep
Meh, boring card. No more words.

When Spikeridged Steed was revealed the ppl said the same: "too expensive", and that card is similar.
It's a good target for discover effects and maybe in a hardbuff list.
