Congrats Demon! What a cool card to win a competition with :D
When I first saw your card, I was worried it might be too powerful in Paladin and Mage in a Flamewaker / Pen Flinger kind of way. But as it turns out, you've kinda applied the Pen Flinger nerf with Sheep Cannon! Once there are no more minions to hit, the Sheep are guaranteed to go face, so they don't die and voilà: the potential face damage is capped at 6 (as long as you don't kill your own Sheep. Which you wouldn't. Only a monster would do that.). Genious!
With the nerf announcements today, I decided to buy 5 Barrens packs hoping to get more copies of the nerfed cards for more dust. I didn't get any of them, but instead I got these two from those 5 random packs:
I mean, they're only legendaries from my two favorite classes, both of which I was already thinking of crafting after the nerfs, so yeah. I think I'm happy :)
Nope. Answer is in the riddle, early game card, Warlock, sucky card, super not worth its cost, also was a card I and many looked forward to and it tanked.
Anything that can help me complete Final Frontier?
I hate to craft Celestial Alignment just to complete it. I feel it's one of the card that won't be used in the future. And thankfully, I didn't open one in packs. Plus I don't have Brann to execute double Galakrond Rogue. So, it's kinda hard to just pull a 4 discounted cards when you need 5, and what's harder is you need to fill your deck with cards below 8 mana like Invoke cards. I'm thinking of combining it with Heistbaron Toggwaggle, but it will considerably worse because you need lackeys.
The thing with mage is spell mage is it's overall a pretty fair deck that loses to most decks in the game, even pre nerf. It was the high roll of lunacy that carried it and made its other cards feel more unfair. Now an already squishy deck needs to keep a 4 mana card do nothing card in their opening hand to guarantee early lunacy, and if it's not kept, the odds of the mage drawing through most of their deck before they ever find it again significantly reduces its impact when played.
I think it will be fine. It's neutered it's competitive advantage while keeping the the fun of the card in tact for potential high roll games that the dev team thinks we enjoy for some reason.
It's untested! In the few games I have played with it, maintaining tempo without wasting the 1 mana spells was tough, so it might need e.g. a secret package to help you stay alive without using minions.
I like the Jandice Barov nerf. Playing against this card in Wild, where the pool is bigger, putting more "bad" 5 drops wouldn't counter it enough. There would have to be a lot added on top of that. So hitting the mana is the right way to go. Not sure if 6 is enough but good start.
Deck of Lunacy is also the right direction. Slow down the problem card with out just breaking the spell mage deck entirely. Will be slower and less random. Still a strong deck and may even keep Lunacy for some matchups.
I've been running Horde Operative to fight secret Pally. Glad to see Sword of the Fallen not drawing as much. It was rated one of the best cards of the set by some of the reviewers I watch. I see why now.
Pen Flinger was just to good. Pushing it in one direction, board control, is a good thing. Doesn't kill the card out right but keeping it from being THE finisher will reduce people's frustrations.
Same with the watch posts. Very widespread use. Glad they hit these early. While I don't mind them, facing them nearly every game is annoying. Neutral cards are a tough balance. They need to have a much more narrow focus or risk being overpopulated/frustrating.

Definitely the best Paladin hero skin of all! I'm a huge fan of it and use it for every "cancer deck" (Hello, Odd Paladin!)

If such thing comes true - only in the form of core set. You choose a year or set and play against the player with the same set or year.

Refreshing not 1 mana per spell, but 2 mana if any spell was drawn. This nerf don't kill this card in decks with minions.

Howto: Win-5-Ranked Weekly Quest twice
Here's the link; https://playhearthstone.com/en-gb/news/23658923/20-0-2-patch-notes
"Fixed a bug where players could re-roll into the Win 5 Games of Ranked Play Mode weekly quest after already completing it that week."
A bug? This is no bug blizz. If it is, its made of chocolate and readily eaten by players.
Well, for those still hungry for that extra 750xp, better start rerolling today.
