That all looks pretty sweet, and a large part of me is letting out a sigh of relief that only a few cards will have diamond versions. I don't think my dust reserves would have survived an upgrade to my all-golden rogue legendary collection :P
Still no rogue hero portrait though, so I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Mathias Shaw will be the pre-order hero in the (very probably) Alliance focused expansion in the summer. (C'mon Blizz. I can't be wrong yet again, can I?)
Looks like blizz wants to push Envoy Rustwix mechanic, but needs more shuffle/copy cards.
I don't understand what you mean, this wants you to have a small number of cards in your deck. This has direct anti-synergy with any sort of shuffle card
The idea is empty your deck quickly using your HP and cards like Soul Rend or Tickatus and refill it with extremly good cards like Envoy Rustwix does, thats why i am talking about shuffle/copy cards. Blood Shard Bristleback would work as a defensive tool when your deck is low on card and you didn't start to refill it.
Cool! One card pack and one tavern pass more! Really upgraded the rewards! (extra golden cards is almost no value for commons and rares if they can't be disenchanted.)
I'm not a huge fan of the design, but hey, at least they are so out there in comparison to golden cards that it won't look that awkward if you splash a few of them into a normal deck
This is a card you don't want to have in your first 20 cards. Most of the time you will. And then it's either just a 3 mana 3/3 or has to sit in your hand the whole game.
It's still a 3/3 with lifesteal, which is at least something, but I think there are better options
Look, I really love this idea of a self-milling Warlock deck that constantly balances on the edge of life and death...but the nature of the game makes it so you just don't have control over what parts of your deck you end up destroying.
NOt to mention...Warlock has Tickatus. Tickatus will win you the game just by making your opponent die faster than you. Why would I, on top of that, want to nuke my own deck, throw away that advantage, just to get a tad of extra healing?
10 cards is not a lot. There are 30 cards in your deck. Getting down to 10 will take a while, even if you aggressively melt your own cards.
I suspect the second Warlock legendary will synergize with this in some way, but it will have to be very good to justify this playstyle.
I don't see this being a thing. We have Fortune Teller and doesn't see much use. I think if we want a good taunt the Fairground Fool is the best way to go as it can get pulled back by Rally!
Man, those 3d animated cards look awesome! I think that will convince me to buy the Tavern pass just for the cosmetics alone. I also hope that the mini expansion will also have atleast 1 more diamond card.

Really like this. 3/3 life steal for 3 is alright. But the deal 6 gain 6 at the late game is nice. Warlocks can burn through their deck fast enough that this guy is likely to actually kill what he hits.
Good effect brought down by bad condition and overall costs. The 4 mama flamestrike is great to enable this, but the fact that this only hits a minion and you hit you own minions with the other spell and likely have no board to fight with means this won't see play until either an overpowered synergy card is printed or this is adjusted to go face

I prepurchased the preorders (both). It would suck if Samuro is one of the two free legendaries as it will be free in Reward track.

New Warlock Spell - Soul Rend
This got a payoff card now. But destroying more than 4 cards of your deck doesn't seem worth it.

That "generic orc hero" is one of the 10 mercenaries, the protagonists of this Expansion XD
Edit: she is called Rokara

Those golden cards? Looks like a 3 mana 1/3 with poisonous and battlecry: discover a spell.

DIAMOND PORTRAITS!!! I will finally buy the tavern pass this is nice
Don't like the generic orc hero skins though

Please change it to something more different, something "innovative", something that may benefit from Spell Damage...
Now we have lost Frostbolt perhaps something like:
· Deal 3 damage to 1/2/3 random enemy minions and Freeze them - 2 MANA

Finally some synergy for that self-fatigue Tickatus deck...
New Warlock Minion - Blood Shard Bristleback
A good card to save you later one, but if you are already winning, this is not the card to play. So something for extreme controldecks.
New Warlock Minion - Blood Shard Bristleback
3 cost 3/3 lifesteral is already good enough and now if you top deck it late in the game it is also creature removel. niceeeee
