If someone saves Madness at the Darkmoon Fair card packs and then opens them after the mini expansion releases how do you know that there will not be any cards from the non-mini-expansion?
The problem with that idea is that all the cards were designed around different parameters and restrictions that comparing them to each other is very strange.
I wish everyone luck for the next season! I was busy for the last couple of weeks so the most I could do was vote, and it seems like that happened to be the same for a lot of people as participation was down, especially in the final weeks. Hopefully more people join in during Season 3.
I had this thought since the end of the last season, but what do you think about having a Card of the Season? The community could vote on the winning card(s) for each comp in Season 2 and crown a winner. It would work just like the voting and finalist phase each week. I think it would give people a chance to look at past winners and decide which one they like the most. The same could be done for Season 1.
Hey alright, I won with a non-Paladin card for once lol :D
This is the end of Season 2. We'll be back at some point, but we don't have an exact date nailed down yet. We hope to have more Big Comp information by then, as well. Until then, hopefully we'll see you around; maybe give some other Fan Creation projects a look, like griffior's Death Knight class, shatterstar1998's Detective, or my Alraune class :)
I guess I've misjudged how slow this is going when holidays are over. I'm sitting at 48 right now and I'm not sure if I'll make it to 50 this week, but I'm really looking forward to leveling up faster after that. I'm on the ftp track btw (I'm kind of a dolphin, but I wanted to see how this works out before spending money on it, especially since the Hero skins didn't appeal very much to me).
Not sure what to do about the mini expansion yet. I'm sitting on 15 packs I've saved up and about 5.000 gold. I'll definitely get that 15€/2.000 gold bundle if it proves to be real but don't know which of the two options I'll take. It's just insane value.
I am nearly done with level 127. Progress is 1-2 levels a day, except for Monday/Tuesday when the weekly quests provide a boost to XP. I will use gold or cash for the mini set once the details are confirmed (wondering how they haven’t announced it formally yet?!!).
I had hoarded some packs from DMF, but it seems like buying the bundle is most efficient.
... when you have to stay within the flavor theme of the set.
This point is pretty significant I think. Aside from GvG every expansion has been pretty well tied to the theme, making it difficult to find a place for a lot of major lore characters who aren't often associated with the sorts of places HS goes to. Heck, we only went to Dalaran so the League of EVIL could steal it, not for Dalaran itself.
Of course paladins have decided to ignore that issue lately and throw major characters into sets they don't belong in, but if we assume cards stay thematic, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the biggest characters are also some of the last that make it into HS. Depending on what exactly they do, the changes to the Classic set might end up allowing some big characters to appear when they would otherwise have never found a set to call a home.
This is a good point depending on how you look at it. Several of the characters have been legit people or creatures from WoW lore, such as The Lurker Below, Nithogg, Moorabi, Hallazeal the Ascended, and Zentimo. However, none them are what we would call "significant' to the larger story. Most of them are dungeon or raid bosses or even just NPCs connected to certain themes. The criteria for making them shaman legendaries seems to be whether they can be said to have a thematic connection with on of the elements, such as water or lightning. Since shaman work with the elements, it makes sense to expand these characters as "thematic allies" when you have to stay within the flavor theme of the set.
I took a look through the existing Shaman legendaries and... I have to predict we won't see any obvious candidates at all. Since Neptulon in GvG, they have only had 1 notable character from WoW lore: Lady Vashj. And she's not even a shaman in the usual sense.
It's a good sign that they won't run out of characters for a long time.

I feel like you're downplaying Thunderaan significantly. Lore importance, no. But meme importance?

You're forgetting that in hearthstone, the only qualifications to be a shaman is to either be a murloc or be able to shoot lightning from your hands.

Another cool win is winning against a priest turn 4 with a buffed windfury wolpertinger.
