Hunter's Pack for warrior? On first glance it seems really bad, but it is really good in BIG Warrior... oh wait that rotates for the most part.... Let's hope BIG Warrior will get more support, because the Scholomance stuff isn't enough to keep that deck viable in standard. In wild i'm not sure BIG Warrior even wants it. OH it's ODD Costed, so maybe ODD Warrior might TRY it out, in order to perhabs get some EVEN cost cards randomly? (But it would be pretty hard to make space for it.)
I remember reading that all these core cards are considered separate (which is why dusting cards is not a good idea) while the 'real' cards gets booted to wild.
So its entirely possible to have three versions of the same card.
And that is what people are putting forth in these articles - the idea that the Core Set will be stronger and more valuable than the Classic/Basic sets ever were.
Well, we know what's in Core now, and all I have to say is LOL.
Depends on how you are visualizing the 2v2 mode, it could have turns like you play and then you see your coop partner in your same board or whatever the hell they want to do, that's up to the game designers and the devs to see what could be done with the tools they have. Battlegrounds proves that the connectivity is possible, that's all.
Does anyone know if the devs have ever said whether these changes apply to non-Core versions of the cards? It will matter when cards leave the Core set, and matters straight away for a few cards who have been changed 'sideways' more than getting a buff. E.g. Bluegill now having rush instead of charge.
Also, good so see Mini-Mage again. It has surely been one of the rarest sights in all of HS's history, but I still always liked him.
Looking at the remaining Beast minions, Barrens Stablehand might see some play. There are still some small Beasts, but most of the vanilla Basic minions are gone.
Ironically king krush himself is still in standard when he's being completely objectively outclassed in every way by Alexstrasza and Illidari Inquisitor
That beast tag must be really carrying it for poor old king krush.
Seems really good. Finally support for BIG Demon Warlock. Also has a lot of synergy with Animated Broomstick, Kanrethad Ebonlocke and most importantly Archwitch Willow! Also it corrupts Tickatus so that's also good. I think Enslaved Fel Lord will see a lot of play! And this is the first non-neutral Warlock card with an cleave effect!
Looking at the remaining Beast minions, Barrens Stablehand might see some play. There are still some small Beasts, but most of the vanilla Basic minions are gone.
The fact that it has rush means you're nearly always guaranteed to hit face for 8 assuming you have a weapon equipped. Also a major soft taunt that practically wins the game if left alive for a turn.
Will this ever see play though? Well, it depends whether dealing 8 damage to the board and then 8 damage to face is well worth it on turn 8. And to think we once thought Ragnaros the Firelord was broken as hell.
Small point: This thing practically destroys arena single handedly.
Selective discover from deck and copy are really good, I think this will see a solid amount of play, maybe not in quick aggro but in some midrange hunter or a combo deck/buff a few beasts in hand if one appears.
Hmm this seems awefull. Zoo never really has that many card, and i think they rather have an actual minion in hand to play instead of a card that rarely does something. Still it is a 0 cost card and those SHOULD never be underestimated, but i feel like it has a way too strict requirment to be any good. However it might be a replacement for Sea Giant now that that is gone?
WOW, thats an AMAZING tempo/aggro priest card! Priest now has an really good target for the 3 mana slot of Rally!! This card has a lot of potential, and i wouldn't mind seeing priest getting a different gameplan than the one they have right now!
Edit: okay i don't know much about WoW lore and stuff, but shouldn't this be an Elemental? It seems like one.
I cannot for the life of me understand why team5 had to print this card with rush when it practically can already attack the same turn its played. At least we know for sure this is one card that will never survive its first turn without your opponent conceding.

Nah barrens is still gonna see 0 play. Core might have many big ones. But expansions bring many small beasts into game

Yeah, its mind boggling why they give mage a legendary like that and then proceed to remove all viable options to make use of that spell damage.

Baron Rivendare is back! Cairne Bloodhoof is also buffed which now seems decent and might be included in deathrattle decks.
New Demon Hunter Minion - Illidari Inquisitor
Its basically a very powerful card on its own with some combo potential with Raging Felscreamer and Soul Split
The fact that it has rush means you're nearly always guaranteed to hit face for 8 assuming you have a weapon equipped. Also a major soft taunt that practically wins the game if left alive for a turn.

It can go over taunt tho and if you need to trade with it, it keeps all health, it is better.
