I don't think this will see serious play in Wild. It may find a place in disruption warlock, but that's not a serious deck. The meta would have to become very combo-heavy for this to be a good card, and Blizz doesn't seem to want to go that route. Even for bouncing powerful battlecries in Reno decks, this is too expensive and inconsistent, even if it is theoretically versatile.
Well, just finished this one and I have to say that that Cho'Gall fight has got to top the charts as one of the most difficult and bs laden battle I've encountered so far in book of heroes. We still have 4 more heroes to go, but lord save us if it can ever top this one.
So what happened exactly? First, your mulligan, draws and your opponent's draws are always 100% the same. Your only wiggle room here is your mulligan, which basically you get to decide on what three cards out of six you will start with. Your opponent has the exact number of removals, and exact play style which will usually end with a turn 11, 12/12 old cthun. The only random aspect (which baffles me, considering that everything else is controlled) is the demon you get when you hp after turning into a demon, which can range between completely useless (flame imp) to extremely powerful (voidlord). That random aspect here is what will decide whether you actually win or lose, because you're basically playing on a timer, with ChoGall's hp doing 2 damage to you every turn. I lost track of the number of times I lost simply because I couldn't race his hp, and considering that ChoGall starts with 100 health, its shirt-rendering to lose one turn too late.
Everything else is really meh. Just steam roll everything because its just how it is. One massive two-headed roadblock that chewed up time and that's about it.
Now he can be killed by challengers like Fleetfeather tracker. Also, now the Aphelios player has to cast Bastion to stop a Mystic Shot instead of something like a Get Excited, so even if Aphelios survives the trade is slightly more positive.
I honestly don't remember this card being played all that much. How'd it make the cute?
For real? It was a staple card in Face Hunter back in Blackrock Mountain.
Also, it's not about how good the card is, it's about what role it fills. This is a midrange board control or face pressure card to fill the gap Corrosive Breath and Kill Command are leaving.
I think you have to take out Thorn of the Rose and add either Whispered Words, or Trifarian Assessor, 'cuz right now you have no draw, maybe both if you also take out Might and Hopeful since it'll be probably too hard to play on turn 2, you're only running one 1 drop. Ancient Preparations could be a good addition too, since you kinda depend too hard on having LeBlanc on turn 3 when you don't have Thorn and also if you wanna level her fast enough, and just in case you don't find Sivir too. Would probably take away Reckoning too, but I'm not sure about that one since it may be your ticket out of Aggro (and for that reason having a predict and more draw will be useful too, since you're just running one).
I read in the official Blizzard Hearthstone forum that some people already reached it and there is nothing afterwards. Apparently, no more incentive whatsoever to continue playing since no more XP is rewarded.
I'm currently at level 328 and will reach the end in about 7 more days. Not really looking forward to it anymore nor will I try to repeat the same feat after the rotation hits unless there will be extra rewards involved (which I doubt).

True! I've went with Doombeasts for now, but I could see either card working.

And this chapter is, honestly, disappointing. Worst BoH gameplay so far.
Similar to Puzzle Lab, but much more dependent on RNG, and feels unfair. I managed to solve them all, now having awful aftertaste :/

You're not super likely to have casted Timelines on turn 3. Or you can wait to cast it if you have a Dredger.

It's from Rastakhan's Rumble.
I know, hard believe there actually were good cards in that set.
