So now anchorm4n is answerm4n?

please no

I love the HS and really WoW in general for their art. Such amazing works. Always love seeing these different poses or designs artists tried. 

Agreeing with dylb's

Update on the monthly score: Anchor is ahead with 4 and if dylb is correct it means four of us are tied at 2....

As much as I love cards like Shudderwock or Jan'alai, I would want these Diamonds to be neutral. So for me I'd want:

Witchwood: I'd love both but if only one I'd want Baku the Mooneater. My favorite art in the game, or at least top 5. Also much more widely used than Genn.

Boomsday: Zilliax for sure. As much as this card started to annoy me in standard it is by far the most used Legendary from that set. Totally deserves the Diamond treatment. Mecha'thun isn't a bad choice but I think Zilliax is the clear winner.

Rastakan: I was with you for Hakkar, the Soulflayer until I remembered Oondasta exists. Who doesn't just love saying his name! Just a fun card and one of the best with the Overkill mechanic. While the mechanic isn't well loved, I think it really had potential. 

Yeah thats what I meant by printing opt from mtg. The whole draw fix draw thing that has been a stable of blue control decks for as long as I can remember. Now P & Z can do it and honestly it's probably good enough to run in something like ezreal Draven.

Yes you're right of course that Zillian will still loose hard to lissandra but her play rate is far lower so one problem at a time.

Also all the stuff you just said sounds like a meme dream. Like you basically were like oh yeah people will totally run a 10 mana slow speed spell without ramp. Hell you can't even do that with ramp these days.

MY MAN!!!  That's what I'm talking about!

I was originally thinking Westfall/Deadmines since the area is about the same level as the Barrens/Wailing Caverns.  But since they mention "you have leveled up" I start to wonder if maybe it's a place slightly higher in level than the Barrens and Westfall?  But then again, since they'll likely want to use an Alliance controlled territory, I could still see Westfall as the destination with the Deadmines to follow as the mini set theme.

November is 100% fall. This is not a matter of opinion. There is absolutely zero intersection between the month of November and the season of winter. Winter begins on December 21 or 22. November is also still Phase 2.

The Mercenaries stream could easily be put off until November according to the information in this article.

Oh, seriously? Dormant? I just made this yesterday. Ultimate removal tool and Archdruid Naralex combo. I'm not sure about it's cost. And maybe Naralex combo is too OP and it this card should target only enemy minions.

It was quite certain from his natural synergies that Zilean would end up in P&Z. Sure he also can work with Go Hard but cost 2 when drawn mechanic + Insightful Investigator + the plenty 2 mana cards from Zilean worked well together from the first second. The is no way that predict investigator won't be viable I think...

I have two variants of my classic card, Zelfrax the gargoyle; the original with some tweaks, and a brand new version:

,

The original (on the left) was designed to be like a Weeping Angel from Doctor Who: if you can see it, it turns to stone; if you can't see it, its true form is revealed and it tears you limb from limb. You can use a card like Leeroy Jenkins to purposefully summon a minion for your opponent after you attack with Zelfrax: Zelfrax will go Dormant, you clear out the Whelps, and then the gargoyle awakens to attack again!

The new one on the right is an attempt at disruption. Your opponent wouldn't know what minion you chose so they would have to be wary of playing their combo pieces or aura-minions, fearing that one might be subsequently killed. I wasn't sure on the cost, because what if the minion is never played, you know? You spent 3 mana to do nothing, at that point.

Seems like a pretty sound analysis!

Predict in P&Z, huh? Wonder how Zilean will like that...

Quote From Wailor

One question... "Dormant for 1 turn" would be equivalent to "At the beginning of your next turn"? Or would it be the turn after the next one? If it's the latter, then my card is definitely too weak.

Dormant procs starting on your next turn, so Yes, "Dormant for 1 turn" would be at the beginning of your next turn.

I find it strange that you name all the cards from today's reveal exept the most competitive of them Time Trick that has good chances to become a P&Z staple.

Sure anti aggro tools are nice but anti aggro isn't the only quality a deck has to have. 

Zilean has now more than enough anti aggro tools but we need more things to do than that. 

My guess is still investigator zilean playing around Chirean Sumpworker, playing a lot of 2 cost created cards that we turn all into 0 mana augment cards with the Glorious Evolution and Viktor as the lategame plan. Then a simple Arise! will then be enought to deal 60+ damage in one attack... from no cards on board but Viktor

Glad you liked it!
I tried to write it like a little tour guide, showing you around and stuff, with a little lighthearted joke here and there.

HS's art style is actually quite unique! There's thousands of artworks, that go for a "playful" look, but you can always tell which ones are HS and which are not.

I know this might be a bolt call but I think Pyke won't be that powerful of a champion because he is so reliant on strike effects while having no protection himself, being in a region with no unit protection tools. 

Like what does Pyke do against frostbite, spot removal barrier and the likes of that...

I have the feeling you gonna have to draw him 2 times in a game to reliably level him and all the struggle resulting from these conditions will make him quite unreliable...

I know I've been super meh about the card reveals so far, but today's 4 reveals are literally saving zillian as a champion.

Let's talk about everything they added to zillian as an archetype just today!

Anti- aggro deck thinning!!! This is literally a one of a kind card for Runeterra thus far and shows that somebody on the development team is doing his job.

Yes its just a do nothing 1/3 body for 1 mana, but it's a free body that comes down along side Zillian to chump block sandman against azir irellia and get you closer to finding the cards you want to play.

Time winder is literally a two mana static shock that forces a discard, guess what Zillian has card advantage for days what he needs is cheap pings along side his landmark.

Oh hey they literally just printed opt at two mana, fine by me!!!

Plus an actual good 3 drop to put in predict decks that duplicates and let's you find answers, and the body is infinitely better then that dumb 2/4 elusive.

God they should just call this card reveal timmies rejoice, we do want our game to be complicated and not just be a creature slug fest.

I take it all back Riot I'm so sorry ;)

One question... "Dormant for 1 turn" would be equivalent to "At the beginning of your next turn"? Or would it be the turn after the next one? If it's the latter, then my card is definitely too weak.

Congratulations to FenrirWulf!

This is super cool, love the art spotlights! The timelapse of Horde Operative is amazing as well.  

This was an awesome read? Where did you the text? Or did you came up with it yourself.

I love Hearthstone because of the simple, understable art on the cards. Most cards feature some jokes or small, funny actions.

Magic Trick's golden animation is one of my all time favourites.
