Inspire makes a return, the flavor being that he uncovers some kind of breakthrough on his research. With enough magic (for the Spellburst), he can even double up on your Soul Fragments.
We mention this at the bottom of the competition page, but I think I'll reiterate it here: mechanics and keywords reappearing in a one-off capacity - like Omega Devastator in Rise of Shadows - is not enough to disqualify them from the list of potential options. In that way, Reborn and Twinspell are not ruined just because they reappear in Galakrond's Awakening. When we think about mechanics and keywords that'll get you disqualified, we're talking "evergreen" stuff like Lifesteal, Discover, "if you're holding a Dragon", "if you played an Elemental last turn", etc. You can use them, but don't rely on them as being one of the two mechanics or keywords for the prompt.
This guide is pure gold for us who have no idea about WoW lore. I´ve read it with great excitement, thank you :)
One question, is this the end of Jainas story or is/could possibly be there more? Like when they release new WoW content, or is the story closed as a whole allready? Just curious :) (Sorry if stupid question, I´m an WoW noob :D)
Stuff is rolling out slowly today for the holiday event.
If you want any of the headers, don't worry, you can safely spend your snowflakes. Unlike the Oozefest event, I'm expecting people to obtain at least a couple of thousand snowflakes during the event which will run until February 1.
Once everything is live for sure, there will be a news article detailing everything.
You're just stating facts. I wouldn't be apologetic about it. It's not your fault that Blizzard isn't pretending fixes that they implemented are holidays deals.
Keep calling things as they are. You shouldn't feel responsible for how other people react to the truth.
I can tell you that Deathrattle Hunter has become viable in Standard and Wild. While it's certainly not top tier, the combination of Secrets and Deathrattles has finally come to fruition. Cards like Maxima Blastenheimer, Oblivitron and Flark's Boom-Zooka have found a home and the archetype is super fun AND competetive.
I've been playing mainly Wild these days, where Sylvanas Windrunner is mvp against Big Priests and Warlocks. I can provide a list tonight if you're interested. It's quite close to the one of clawz161, but also features Sneed's Old Shredder (fun card, might try out Oblivitron with Tonks instead of it), Barnes and Master's Call to avoid Barnes and Maxima hitting each other. I've also cut Deathstalker Rexxar in favor of Flark's Boom-Zooka which is crazy good in this deck.
gl&hf!
Then you should check out dane's maxima hunter it sounds very similar to what you're looking to do
But it runs Petting Zoo and i REALLY don't like the card, you don't get to Zul'jin often but when you do your board is usually full of 3/3s from petting zoo instead of from jewel of n'zoth which you would prefer anyway.
As of today, I reached level 100. At the current rate of gaining 20 levels each week, I should be able to attain level 350 at the very end of this expansion cycle.
Also, since choosing Nightslayer Valeera I have been playing Rogue a bit more. Really liking this sweet new hero portrait.
I think they only nerf something if it has a high winrate and a high play rate. I’ve personally never played against that deck you think is OP, which likely indicates that it isn’t a huge part of the meta like Lee Sin was at its peak. It doesn’t matter how OP the deck is, if it has a low play rate Riot likely won’t nerf it.
Also, I’m not sure if the deck you’re talking about is really low on interactivity. Those regions don’t have access to much protection, so I assume something like vengeance or ruination could stop Swain and Sejuani from winning the game, and adding healing to your deck makes it better against burn. I have never played against the deck so I don’t know if those are true counters, but pretty much every deck offers some interactivity against it (except maybe the old Ionia Elusives deck with crazy amounts of protection tools).

My first idea. It's kinda lame and hard to balance, so I'll probably try with something else.

My first idea.
It's a tiny, mummified dragon, but it comes with two Invokes!
I thought of making it a 3/1 because 2/1 seemed weak, although the staff pointed out that 3/1 was too strong.

If you're really in the holiday spirit, why not try and design a card which meets all the requirements?

If the limit is 20, then I am currently collecting other member's snowflakes also, lol 🤣
Also, I think the limit has increased since the "pricing" for the cosmetics has also increased significantly.
Snowflakes
I think the limit is 20 per day
Also, items arrived to shop. Snowballs which looks like consumables. And some headers.

Seems like the upper limit of gaining daily snowflakes has increased. It used to be 13 and today I already collected 31 (and counting).
