You can only ever showcase one at a time and maybe 1% of players would ever take note and recognize it. If that. Then would proceed to shrug it off, because why care about random opposing player's cardbacks when you play against so many. And with hundreds of cardbacks now. I certainly never do, but then I barely even pay attention to my own.
It's a much better idea to offer them back for collectors and those who might wish to find a new favorite they might've missed by not playing back in the day. Personal aesthetic, nothing more.
Why would I ever put the original Deathwing to my deck when this one is just strictly better? With Ysera re-work one can argue, that sometimes the original is better, but here we have a buffed version of the existing card.
Finally, I don't think we know much about when the next rotations happens. It sounded like the Barrens set will be out whenever it is ready, which could be anywhere from mid March to late April for all I know.
Pre-purchase offers end March 22. To my knowledge, that has never been incorrect as an indicator of the launch date. It's pretty much always the very next day, or at least later that week.
Pre-purchase has always ended on the same day as the release, BUT these are not normal times and the deeper we get into the pandemic the more each set's development can be affected. I suspect the 22nd of March is when they want to release it, but as Iksar said in a Q&A, if they need to push it back into April they will.
While I like the idea, it would kind of delete the core of the deck and make it purely a Malygos OTK deck. In this version, Malygos is one of multiple win conditions (Dragon tempo, Vereesa). I'm looking forward to see your version of a Malygos Vol'jin OTK Hunter though!
What does “permanent +2/+1” mean? If I play a second-generation (3/4) Sunscale Raptor, does it stay 3/4 after it’s silenced or returned to hand?
No is certain yet, but I expect it changes the base stats of a minion. For example Horrendous Growth or Jade Golems. So it immune to silence or sap effects.
As for the card, I expect to see it in hunter decks even for the stats alone. As for the text, I am not too sold on it. I think it depends if they give hunter better card draws on the core set or the expansion.
The way I understood the text, it will be the base copy shuffled back into your deck. So 3/4 will be it's biggest form.
Do I recall correctly that packs like these do adhere to the no-duplicates rule, but they have their own pity timer? Meaning 15 packs would guarantee you an epic, but don't hold your breath for a legendary?
So, say I have collected all of Scholomance and all of Darkmoon, these packs would basically be the same as Ashes of Outland packs, but on a separate timer?
I didn't say "lack of communication." I said "poor communication." Self-contradiction is one form of poor communication. They've said it's "in the Slay the Spire vein" and then contradicted themselves by describing a game that's nothing like STS, apart from the map interface. (Not that I'm mad -- I actually don't care for STS very much.)
I'm sure it's not a case of intentional deceit. It's more a poorly considered offhand comment that has propagated. I've got no beef with Ben Lee. I'm more annoyed at everyone else who's talking about STS when there are more apt comparisons to be made.
If you had a friend who loved STS and hated Darkest Dungeon, and you told them about Mercenaries, describing it as being "in the vein of STS," don't you think you'd be setting them up for disappointment?
Curious that your list does not run Swipe and instead runs Starfall. I personally think swipe is better, and it does well with malygos more so than starfall.
Nourish and overgrowth is honestly to me a little too much. You almost never ramp with nourish since its almost always too little too late. Also, your list is very heavy and cycles too slowly for a combo deck. I'd remove the winged guardian, circus amalgam, and bone wraith for rising winds, 1x overflow, and anubisath defender.
Finally, I'd recommend you make some room for Resizing Pouch. This card doesn't get much love but if you play this with 0 mana remaining you'd get a chance at moonfire, lightning bloom, and innervate. All three options are very good in this deck. You can even dump that wisp, since this card almost always grant you either the three above or a 0 mana minion (theres two of them in standard, so its not too bad a chance)
Edit: Okay, so you inspired me to take up one of my older ideas and jump start it back to life with Vol'jin.

New Neutral Minion - Deathwing the Destroyer

New Shurima Spell - Ancient Hourglass
not surprising at all though, Zhonyas is a stample item in league mages always consider buying, and was in league since release if I am not mistaken.
and as a fiddle main it's one of my favorite items in the game :D
this card is 5/5 just amazing card to negate removals.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Okey dokey, I've had this idea for a little while, it might be way to easy or hard but here goes:
Dr Boom wants to combine these mixed up minions, it's a pity one of them isn't a mech.
1) Wrong-Lot
2) Shine Dim Old Bite
3) Grated Tummy
4) In Footy Palace
5) Stage Leerer

Rewards Track: Current progress
Nothing is official yet, but rumour has it that the release date is 22nd March.
On topic, I´ve just hit lvl 200, so I´ve made 20 lvls a week this time.

So now I want a Pandaria-themed expansion just so I can grab the very first Ranked Play card back.

Glad that got settled fast. Dial it back big-brains XD

Ok, if we shift the first letter back by one, the second by two, the third by three, and so on, we get Sylvanas Windrunner.

Come on, it's nice to try something new from time to time. If it proves to be too hard, I'll give major hints.
Here's something that might be helpful: the seventh and the eighth letter in the second word are the same.

Boooooo-urns.
I'm not into things returning. If you weren't around at the time.. then that's that.
If like me you were back when everything was peaches and cream and you got some sweet card backs to show it, then good for you.
