Interestingly enough, spell schools are not heavily supported in the expansion that introduces them. Some spell schools have no supporting cards at all.
I think that the concept of spell schools opens up cool design space, but as of right now I'm not seeing enough of it to warrant it as much of a deck strategy. A feature, not a core concept. Hopefully future expansions will lend more support to this idea.
They have stated that they wanted to start it off a bit slowly and then expand on it with the mini-set and further expansions.
So is this supposed to be the 5 mana deathrattle for Demon Hunters to be synergized with Blackthorn? I don't think that's going to work. Might even be too slow in Arena.
I'm thinking the same.
But looks slow and if you play a legendary minion on t7 you need more than a 1/1 on board.
I won't craft this card, but I wouldn't mind unpacking it. Anyone got an idea which class this Watch Post package is best suited in?
It's probably best to just play this on curve even if you've played only 2 or 3 Watch Posts by then. If you don't play this package as a tempo deck, I expect this package to perform even worse.
This is scary considering that this can enter play on turn three while you have two secrets thanks to Sword of the Fallen. Quite a few paladin secrets, such as Noble Sacrifice and Oh My Yogg! can protect Crossroads Gossiper and scale it up into a threat at the same time. You only need one secret to trigger for this to become efficient, although I don't see this much anywhere else outside of Paladin.
Adding, all cards should be allowed to be crafted using dusts and vice versa. excluding special one like diamond one.
Isn't that a better solution? All players whether now or in the future should be able to play it in the wild if they don't get the free uncraftable one this year. (Like crafting free uncraftable Marin the Fox)
New Neutral Minion - Mor'shan Watch Post
Probably the best of 3 Watch Posts. Sometimes, this one might even be the right pick in an Arena draft.
New Demon Hunter Spell - Vile Call
Dont know about this if worthfull
Forged in the Barrens
They have stated that they wanted to start it off a bit slowly and then expand on it with the mini-set and further expansions.
New Druid Minion - Thickhide Kodo
Solid antiaggro tool.
Beast tag, taunt, 5 hp and armor gain.
Great for a lot of archetypes.
New Neutral Minion - Burning Blade Acolyte
I'm thinking the same.
But looks slow and if you play a legendary minion on t7 you need more than a 1/1 on board.
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Tuskpiercer
Nice one
New Neutral Minion - Kargal Battlescar

New Rogue Spell - Wicked Stab (Rank 1)
Why is this card better than Eviscerate? You need to wait until t10 to deal 4 damage as Eviscerate does.
New Druid Spell - Pride's Fury
Pretty slow for a token druid.
New Warlock Minion - Kabal Outfitter
Pretty solid card for Zoo Warlock
New Demon Hunter Weapon - Tuskpiercer
Draw tutor is good, but DR DH package looks weak ATM.
New Neutral Minion - Gold Road Grunt
Yes to neutral armor gaining engines)
New Neutral Minion - Death's Head Cultist
Anti-aggro tool, as such can totally see this being played in a number of decks. Meta-dependend though
New Mage Spell - Wildfire
This is so OP card will be auto-included to any mage deck.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Gossiper
Meh, needs interaction with the enemy to get buff, so won't see play.
Secretkeeper saw play because just need to play a secret, not pop up.
New Warrior Weapon - Outrider's Axe
Super strong card and a huge candidate to be nerfed in the next patch.
New Paladin Minion - Soldier's Caravan
Another 'at the start of your turn'....
New Warrior Weapon - Outrider's Axe
Effect worth of a legendary....
Blademaster Samuro and Golden Mankrik to be Disenchantable for Full Value For 1 Week After Pre-Release
Thanks, I didn't know that!
Blademaster Samuro and Golden Mankrik to be Disenchantable for Full Value For 1 Week After Pre-Release
They have already said that you cannot get Mankrik or Samuro from those preorder legendaries, so it's all good.
New Neutral Minion - Crossroads Gossiper

New Demon Hunter Weapon - Tuskpiercer
This deathrattle package isn't worth it. The only Demon Hunter we will see after rotation is OTK Demon Hunter.

New Warrior Spell - Rancor
This may be nice survival tool.
