Man I was really hoping we would get Mercenaries before the 2nd expansion this year. At least they will hopefully release it at some point this fall, while it's polished which is a great thing as mentioned in another comment. A new card revealing cycle is still exciting though, don't get me wrong.
I play WoW aswell and the development of that game is a bit messy as well. It has huge competition from other MMORPG, but somehow it managed to create a contentdrought of 9 months. Shadowlands was so promising (still is).
For Heartstone I do think that the mini-set saved the meta, as the cards are pretty fun.
I'm glad they're giving it the polish it needs though. It would be such a mess if they launched another new mode that was subpar. I know Duels isn't everyone's cup of tea, and Mercs definitely won't be too, but at least Mercs has the potential to bring in some new players much like Battlegrounds has done.
I would have liked to see them talking more about the mode though throughout the past year. I know there are a lot of downsides to that - many players aren't as patient and you do have the issue of another studio beating you to the release of similar content, but damn it, I love my dev insights!
We definitely have to be getting Alterac Valley for the last expansion. I can't wait to get a new Chillwind Yeti friend from the Alterac region :D
We could even see a lead-up Hillsbrad event or maybe adventure chapter? There are just so many stories they could tell with the area.
So glad we're getting some news though. It feels a bit earlier than I would have expected, but I'm not complaining about it (aside from the Canada Day stream date) because damn, Hearthstone has felt like its been in a bit of a rut lately.
I like it at least. I always enjoy shuffling effects, so that will be amusing at the very least. The fact that this is on a body that isn't awful is a bonus as well since any of my past attempts at using Counterfeit Copies have ended with it bricking my hand.
I assume this can't target the same thing twice, and with that in mind I don't see why you would play this over Mystic Shot. I mean you could play both but I'm not sure why you would do that either. I feel like they could have made this without the discard and it could have been fine, maybe you make it only hit units if that seems too scary but I don't think this is worth it as is.
I'm not sure I like this design. A 1/3 can be small but it can also be massive in the right match up when you get it for free and don't even spend a card in hand to gain it. I just feel like having predict randomly drop stats on board by pure chance isn't something I'm thrilled by.
now THIS is a card that you should watch out for. In mtg this effect has been a staple in every single meta of standard and since Runeterra has a lower powerlevel I think this card goes straight into every p&z list

They said that the second expac will take place in the 40s. With the third capping off at 60.

Sealed Deck Generator.
This would definitely be a cool addition! I won't make any promises though just yet =)

Yeah, this makes it like a year delayed lol.

*sad mercenaries fan noices*. Atleast I can still hope for another expansion song, I really missed that in the FitB trailer.

I am expecting a leveling zone in the Eastern Kingdoms where you could level from 20 to 40, as the Barrens is in Kalimdor 10-20.
Means last expansion will handle Classic lvl 60 (Alterac Valley? Dwarfhype)

Pyke Champion & 11 New Cards for Runeterra's Rise of the Underworlds Expansion Revealed!
Ah okay!! Something in between Elite and Scout?
I thought on first instance it was something like Patches the Pirate but got nothing clear until now. Thanks for the explanation!!

YES!
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
None of those, but Sindragosa is closer.
Rewards Track: Current progress 2.0
I´m at 185 lvl (up from lvl 170 last week), 90% of new achievements done.
New Piltover & Zaun Card - Practical Perfectionist
I like it at least. I always enjoy shuffling effects, so that will be amusing at the very least. The fact that this is on a body that isn't awful is a bonus as well since any of my past attempts at using Counterfeit Copies have ended with it bricking my hand.
New Piltover & Zaun Spell - Time Trick
Yeah this is going to be strong I think. Even if not a staple it will find a place, and personally I think it could be a staple for sure.
New Piltover & Zaun Spell - Timewinder
I assume this can't target the same thing twice, and with that in mind I don't see why you would play this over Mystic Shot. I mean you could play both but I'm not sure why you would do that either.

New Piltover & Zaun Card - Dropboarder
I'm not sure I like this design. A 1/3 can be small but it can also be massive in the right match up when you get it for free and don't even spend a card in hand to gain it. I just feel like having predict randomly drop stats on board by pure chance isn't something I'm thrilled by.
New Piltover & Zaun Spell - Timewinder
It is Statikk Shock for 2 less mana and with 2 less carddraw attached to it... looks okay for discard aggro but nowhere else
New Piltover & Zaun Card - Dropboarder
Now this feels like a way less practical Jury-Rig for predict... it coulds see some play but 1 attack keeps being irrelevant often enough
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Sindragosa or possibly Bomb Wrangler?
New Piltover & Zaun Spell - Time Trick
