blizzard can still space out their content without shutting down twist for a month. going into this we expected to see a new format every month, not have to wait a month with no twist for every new format.
they without a doubt could have come up with something interesting for august and it wouldn't have taken away from the expansion because obviously people are going to be more focused on the completely brand new massive standard expansion than they will be twist regardless of what the new format is. twist also could offer new ways of using those new expansion cards. nothing about twist inherently takes attention away from the new expansion.
dungeon runs are completely unique content from traditional hearthstone; twist is traditional hearthstone, just with a less conventional format. there's absolutely no reason (other than laziness/greediness) to not make a twist format for a month. if anything, they're missing out on a potential way to further promote the new expansion.
Wow tutorring a minion from your deck and giving it stats. This is only good when rogue REALLY want's to tutor a mech. So IF the TITAN is good enough, people might run this in order to tutor it?
The problem i have with this card, is the fact that it's in rogue. Rogue has way better draw, and it's basically only good with magnetic minions so you can give a mech on board a explosive amount of stats.
2nd best rogue card in this expansion i.m.o. (Only Gear Shift being better i.m.o.) This is just a really good card, the sparkbots can give so many good keywords and the +1/+1 stats can help mechs trade better or preventing them from being killed by certain removal cards.
This card is also a bit more flexible than you might think. If a rogue deck has even a couple mechs, then this might be worth running already. And i feel like maybe combo rogue might experiment with this card, just because the sparkbots are cheap combo starters... Idunno about all of you, but when i play combo rogue i'm always stuck with only combo-cards in hand, and i'm always forced to play a combo card in order to activate the other ones. So having a bunch of 1/1s to start combo's with instead is really nice.
Also this might be pretty good on it's own, think about it. Your getting 3 sparkbots with random keywords, so if you magnetize them onto each other your getting a 3* mana 3/3 with 1-3 random keywords. (*Yes also +2 mana for the spell, but Preparation is a thing.) Also it gives 3 1 cost minions, so maybe miracle rogue might experiment with it? (Probably won't use it unless they can discount the 1/1s to 0 mana somehow.)
I think this might be a pretty good rogue card for multiple decks.
Wait a second, doesn't this kinda stealth get removed after you attack? So it's a slow magnetic minion that want's you to play this AFTER you attack in order to keep stealth? Why bother with this when you rather get a more agressive statted magnetic mech like Coppertail Snoop instead.
Hmm, this seems like a interesting card for mech rogue.
If you magnetize this onto a minion it's technically a 2 mana 4/3 buff, and if it sticks around it generates more coins. And if a Sparkbot with windfury gets magnetized onto the minion as well, then your getting a lot of coins.
Also a reminder that it's a magnetic minion, and thus can be generated by Flame Behemoth which might matter for some mech decks. And if one is generated by Flame Behemoth it's basically 0 mana after you attack.
Hmmm. On first look it's HORRIBLE, why would rogue want a card like this? But after thinking a while, this card will probably setup some kind of combo somewhere in the future. But that's in the future, right now this card looks like total garbage. These kinda cards are not something that rogues often play, unless it's required to do a combo/otk.
Also a thing to note is the fact that it doesn't specify opponents like Enchanter, which means that ALL minions take double damage during that turn. Weird that they didn't specify the ALL, considering they do that with similar cards. Making your minions take double damage is only good in some kind of deathrattle deck, so you can proc deathrattles. That's about it, why would any other rogue deck want THEIR OWN minions to take double damage unless their is some kind of pay-off?
I quit the game just before the reveals began, and I'm confident I made the right decision. That being said, the Death Knight's plagues, Shaman's Golganneth, the Thunderer, and the Warrior's Odyn, Prime Designate are definitely concepts that would appeal to me.
5 star card. 1 mana draw 3 is really good, and in aggresive rogue deck if your hands empty you can just draw 3 cards. This probably slots into miracle rogue already. Very good card!
Burgle rogue card. 5/5 star card because i'm biased, and it will see play because it's a burgle rogue card. Burgle rogue is a popular deck, so this will see a lot of play.
So the dream for this card, maybe: Turn 2 forge. Turn 3 Mimiron, the Mastermind. Turn 4 forged Lab Constructor? You don't get a gadget due to magnetising not counting as playing a mech, however this can really snowball... If your not dead because you did nothing turn 2.
But most of the time, this will be a SLOW mech card which might be bad considering mech decks often are aggresive decks. And rogue is NOT that good as a slower class, unless they generate tons of value in a deck like burgle rogue. (Even though those decks have often been aggresive as well.)
I still think this will be an alright card in mech rogue, simply because doubling a big mech is very good and can snowball out of control. But simply a friendly reminder that because it's a magnetic mech, there are a lot of ways to generate this. So you will occasionally see this show up, even when playing (against) a non-rogue mech deck.
This seems like the main pay-off for a mech rogue deck. The gadgets seem really good and Mimiron is a 3 mana 2/5 which has been historically Proven to be very hard to remove early, which means it WILL stick around for at least 1 turn when played on curve. This seems really good.
But then comes the bad thing about the card. Iirc magnetizing a minion does NOT count as playing a minion. So this legendary has anti-synergy with magnetic cards. And magnetic cards are often VERY important in Mech decks. I kinda hope they change this interaction, otherwise Mimiron will often feel kinda bad. Another bad thing about this card is that it's limited to mech rogue, which means it's not flexible. And rogues LOVE flexible cards.
So we got a TITAN that gives itself buffs... But can't use ANY of them until you use up ALL abilities. This seems so meh.
As for the abilities: Deal 4 damage ability is pretty good. Draw is nice, but rogue has so many better ways of drawing cards. Making the TITAN untargettable is alright, simply because it's safe and might make the TITAN stick around longer.
I see a lot of big problems with this card:
1: The fact that it costs 6 mana. This means it will often compete with Crabatoa for a deck slot and in most rogue decks Crabatoa is going to be better.
2: The untargettable option is super SLOW. Rogue often wants to go faster than this.
3: 2/3 Abilities are only useful as long as you ALREADY have a minion on board. No minion on board? You only get half of the effect. So if you don't have any other minions you MUST pick the untargettable option or else you miss out on value/stats.
I think this will be one of the, if not the worst TITAN. Which makes sense, after all they can't make a TITAN with OP abilities and stuff because of cards like Shadowstep. But really this? I really expected something a bit more rogueish than this. To me, this really FEELS more like a neutral TITAN than a rogue one.
Ratchet & Clank is one of my absolute favorites - I hope people buy it, directly increasing the chances that Sony brings the entire franchise to the PC.
Eh, i'm not sure about this card. It does seem like a fun card, and very similar to [Hearthstone Card (Pogo hopper) Not Found] except the effect is always there instead of this being a battlecry. But i'm not sure this kinda deck is fast enough. A lot of copy cards in priests are very slow, and even if the deck gets popular it will just get DESTROYED by control priests due to Whirlpool. I'm not sure this card is good enough, it needs some more support.
Hmm. This seems nice on paper, because it's another wincon for control priest decks. After all control priests can just survive and slam down bigger and bigger Student of the Stars. But i'm not sure control priests need a "wincon" like this, considering this is garbage in mirror matchups due to plenty of (generated) silence effects.
Also Aggro priests won't run it due to this being too slow.
INSANE control tool. If i understand this correctly the -2 attack is PERMANENT, otherwise the text should have said "until your next turn" or something similar to that. -2 permanent attack is HUGE for control decks, turning 3 attack minions into 1 attack minions is great for surviving longer and thus allows you to be greedier with other removal cards. (Or stalling until you can Whirlpool. This will be a staple card in any control priest deck.
Hmm interesting card. I don't really think this sees play unless the meta is really fast. (Which would be weird, considering they probably want TITANs to be playable, which requires a slower/midrangey meta.) HOWEVER your still gonna see this card get played often, because it WILL get generated a lot by cards like School Teacher.
