If you can buff it to a 4/6 or more it's worth it, but by that time playing a 2 mana minion with no other effect than hurting yourself is not worth it so...
Only two caravans are worth it IMO, this one is one of them. Being in priest, a more combo/control oriented class, allows it to be played without much effort in tempo lost, since it generates value, but at the same time thanks to that it has a soft taunt.
IMO, this is the best expansion in Hearthstone's history. And that's not coz I'm biased towards dragons 😋 the power level of the majority of cards was insane.
That depends on your long-term plans. If you only want to play in Standard and not Wild or Classic, then sure, it's free dust. However, you won't keep Core set cards if/when they leave the Core set in future rotations, so you'll need your own copies (e.g. from the Classic set) if you want to continue using them in Wild and Classic.
So from what I've seen, most people who play Wild and Classic are keeping their copies so they don't lose the cards later down the line.
Obviously Battlegrounds is completely unaffected, and Duels wouldn't lose very much.
Once more I'm struggling to find art. Not sure about the power level either, but that can be easily adjusted via the Attack value of the targets (flavor wise, only small minions survive because the Pendulum Blade passes over their heads). What do you think?
Soul Rend will likely turn out to be Barren's winner of the 'Lady Liadrin Reveal' Award since its obviously a complete trash of a card before Neeru Fireblade was revealed, because let's be honest, this card will never see play without some sort of Neeru shenanigans involved. It'll likely be one of the key cards of this kind of deck, since you can just tutor Neeru out with Free Admission and then proceed to burn the shit out of your deck, and destroy your opponent's board in the process.
I assumed we wouldn't get a quest refresh as we'd have been told beforehand as there would be many players missing out on completing their pre-refresh quests otherwise.
So unusually my quest log is full ready for them to push the server side GO button.
Warlock's destroy your own deck archetype seems bad from the outset. Been wrong before though will be interesting to see what deck builders come up with.
One interesting side effect of all the spell schools and cards like Bru'kan is that they don't work when randomly generated by other classes. For example, if mage were to get Bru'kan, they don't have any nature spells, so he's just a 5/4 body. So basically with the introduction of the spell schools, it's a slight nerf to discover from another class or randomly generated effects.
Soul Rend has been voted before seeing the new archetype, i assume that now all the cards are being revelead it would not have a that bad note. That said, i still think it's a bad card since the archetype doesn't seems to work really good for now.
So from class highlights, DH got the worst batch of cards, on average. Team 5 clearly didn't want DH rampaging all over standard like it did last year same time.

Prospector's Caravan
Of all the caravans, this is the best one to me.
Soul Rend
I guess that it could be used to soften big minions... I'm yet unconvinced about NoDeck Warlock...
Soothsayer's Caravan

Apothecary's Caravan
Out of all the caravans... this is the worst one... Yeah... Imagine zoolock running this, so much tempo lost...

Question about core cards
Hi, if Core cards are going to be free, shouldn't we disenchant them before the rotation ?

As a Wild-only player, I'm quite disappointed with this expansion, as it literally brings nothing to Wild, except of even more aggro cards.

Have to agree on Scabbs, a score this high was quite surprising to me. I'm bad at playing Rogue though so my opinion should not be trusted.

Aside from Refreshing Spring Water, I pretty much agree with the top listed. Guff Runetotem should be in top 10 in my opinion.

Can always afk battlegrounds to get to the next level before expac launches (assuming you are already level 50+).
That's what I did - hate to waste precious XP :)

3/5 Magma Rager Award are caravans... And I'm totally agree.
I think that people are overestimating Scabbs Cutterbutter and Xyrella, Refreshing Spring Water and Mordresh Fire Eye are sightly better cards IMO, mage will be nuts that set.

Love how half of the magma rager cards are caravans. Blizzard really brought some new flavours into this rework :D

As stated above, it will help you getting the rewards a few days earlier. In a long run the results are the same.
