At first I have misread the card so it doubles the effect of a countdown landmark if it doesn't get destroyed in reaction... now this can be strong if we have really insane countdown abilities but so far the wasn't any aside of the sundisk which wins the game on activation more or less anyways... Overall this card looks super clunky and not worth it to play...
The typical garbage epic as we already seen them so often in LoR
Carddraw that cheap is crazy... like draw 2 for 2 already went wrong with Deep Meditation and this is more or less the same concept without the 2 spell condition but with a short delay...
I also thought Alterac for exp3 as I'm thinking it looks a little snowy, and if they are doing a Horde exp and an Alliance exp, and wanting to bring HS back to it's Warcraft roots, the loosely connected third exp makes sense to be in an epic WoW BG. And none of the original BGs in WoW are more epic than AV.
For the second exp I am thinking Westfall, and the mini set of 1 and 2 will revolve around classic dungeons in the zones. Specifically Razorfen Kraul/Downs and then Deadmines. Not sure what the mini set of AV theme might be other than maybe bringing in some reinforcements to the fight?
Has potential for sure but seems really slow to get going. It will need to have the countdown trigger multiple times to be worth it for the two landmarks we've seen.
Edit: Never mind, I forgot that countdown destroys the landmark....I don't see how this will be worth it in that case.
I didn't realize how serious this issue was to you! My bad!
But in all seriousness, yes, he looks a little different. The coloration may be an art choice as he has light from the spell he is performing shining onto his skin, making it a little different color. In most images I find of Vol'jin he actually has a bit more blue in his hue than Zekhan. But if you compare his skin tone in some cinematics (not his death scene) it's pretty much in line with Zekhan, in my opinion.
The main thing I can see in giving the image a little more analysis is that his armor is scaled down considerably. But in doing a quick search, he appears to be in his first Mercenary form in this card art. You can see the progression of his character art for Mercenaries mode here.
With that in mind, it does seem odd that they chose not to give him his traditional look, or at least maybe his second or third look. Even with his face covered in full war mode the Vol'jin riding a raptor would have been more appropriate for a legendary minion than lvl 1 Vol'jin.
So Zilean's level up will probably be predict X amount of times and level up… and in his leveled up he'll give you some bonus for predicting? Or perhaps the first time a unit dies return it to life, similar to his Ult in LoL? I'm curious and exited to see how he'll turn out!
Its appearance on the official roapmap doesn't count as confirmation? If you just want confirmation of the pricing, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. They are aware that the Races mini-expansion pricing was very well-received.
I did not checked the roadmap. Thanks, that is great news!

Spell schools is exciting. That'll add a layer of complexity and strategy for deck building.
New Shurima Landmark - Preservarium

This card is most likely going to be competetive.
NEW Taunt Warrior (video Guide)
Having a lot of fun with this one. Don't have Barista Lynchen, so I threw in an In Formation!.
Thanks!

Total stud that will be a huge boost to The Marsh Queen. I loved messing around with that quest...

Could be cool as a greed machine but I think it is exactly that....greedy.

Hilarious that this was voted so low and then turned out to be a staple for over a year.

I genuinely forgot this card existed. Someone could tell me this was revealed yesterday for Core and I would have believed it.

Desk Imp
One of those cards that's never in a deck but still seen all the time. Thanks, Devolving Missiles.
Imprisoned Sungill
Funny how this was rated one of the worst cards in AoO, and then it was used in almost every Paladin deck for months.
Soulbound Ashtongue
Funny how this was rated one of the worst cards in AoO, but is vital to so many OTK combos.

Th real question is, is this or Azure Explorer the cutest of the explorers?
