  • Blizzard Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Hunter Card - Tame Beast (Rank 1)

    You can draw this with Barak Kodobane and have a 2 mana 4/4 with rush at turn 6 which is a huge tempo swing.

  • TrumpSC Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Rogue Card - Yoink!

    I see you edited your comment. You should of pressed delete.

  • New Hunter Spell - Tame Beast (Rank 1)

    Not a Hunter player, but this looks pretty nice for the class

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    Ok, fast riddle:

    Healthy Giant

  • New Shaman Spell - Chain Lightning (Rank 1)

    Solid card

  • New Shaman Minion - Bru'kan

    Strong card, I can see this in a lot of decks. Also it's a soft taunt

  • New Warlock Spell - Imp Swarm (Rank 1)

    I don't know. Seems a bit on the weak side. I doubt it makes the cut

  • New Hunter Minion - Sunscale Raptor

    It's a 1 Mana 1/3 Beast. That alone is pretty good already, the effect puts it over the top

  • New Warlock Spell - Imp Swarm (Rank 1)

    Trash.

  • New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Flame

    I dont know if it's good. But I always welcome more mechanics.

  • New Priest Spell - Condemn (Rank 1)

    Control Priest tool , pretty decent

  • New Warlock Minion - Tamsin Roame

    Difficult to rate right now, but certainly looks promising

  • Opinion on pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl?

    Quote From AngryShuckie
    Quote From Bluelights

    Platinum did a lot of heavy lifting for gen 4, I hope they take a lot from platinum. Mainly having more than 2 fire types in the regional dex.. 

    The remakes have tended to mix in the 3rd game for story and mechanics, but not the wild Pokemon, so you're probably stuck with Chimchar and Ponyta for fire types sadly.

    Having only played Diamond, could you give me some idea of just how much Platinum fixed? Because Diamond and Pearl have a LOT more problems than just having 2 fire types:

    • Team Galactic make no sense whatsoever (they all just follow Cyrus with no idea what his plan is. Even the admins!);
    • the animation and text speed is slow beyond the point of frustration;
    • there are way too many trainers with Gyarados, which is too strong with too few weaknesses to just give to every other water trainer;
    • too many of the new Pokemon are just evolutions of old ones, and too many of those aren't even obtainable until the post-game;
    • the story's pacing is way off;
    • the Elite Four ratchets up levels so much that you are forced into grinding for ages or cheesing the last fights by stalling with endless revives;
      • I like Cynthia fine, but her fight isn't actually enjoyable
    • why do I have to deal with the fog?! It's not even close to fun, but somehow isn't even the worst thing, oh no, that honour goes to
    • the damn swamp mechanic where you get stuck every other step! Just why? Who wants that?

    These are all little annoyances that can easily be fixed in the remakes though, if they weren't already fixed in Platinum. Certainly they had learned their lesson going into Black and White, which hasn't got a single one of those issues.

    The fire type thing was an example of the lack of diversity in the national dex, as I recall the electric types are very unrepresented aswell. Which is something that platinum improved heavily on, making sure that gym leaders and E4 members could actually use a full team of that type. I think platinum added like 100 pokemon?

    Anyway I will try to answer these to the best of my abilities! :D

    *The story of Team Galactic is still pretty much  the same, although fleshed out a bit more. (I would say the story of most pokemon games isn't that great)

    * The animation speed was improved on quite a bit, still fell short, which is more of a testiment on how poorly D and P were.  IRC it went from 20 FPS to 30 FPS

    * This was solved by having more variety in the dex. (That gyarados double battle ;_;)

    * Platinum fixed this partialy, by making those pokemon available in the maingame, a MUST in my eyes

    * I never really pay a lot of attention to the early pokemon game stories, but they add a bit more setup I would say, don't expect miracles

    *Both the E4 and Cynthia are similar levels, Cynthia is still quite hard on Platinum, but I feel you are able to better counter her with the expanded regional dex.

    * The Fog and the Swamp, I feel you, unfortunately platinum did not do much to change that. I hope they don't bring back HM's, but I fear the swamp sticks around as a feature.

    @KANSAS

    You might change it to 1 Mana or/and change it to whenever you cast a Nature spell reduce the Cost of a random card/minion/spell/Nature spell/Totem/Elemental etc.

  • New Neutral Minion - Shadow Hunter Vol'jin

    Tech card, don't expect to see much of it

    As a class card I would probably dismiss it, but as a Neutral ok

    Auto-include in control decks. Easy 5 stars

    Without the effects this is difficult to assess but kowing Blizz this will be interesting
