Blackpaw was way too busted and I think people still hold a negative bias against Jade in general. A version of Kragg is in standard so he unfortunately does not qualify for the contest. You could try to port the effect or a similar one to Captain Hooktusk, but I know that I at least have a negative view towards anything 'Charge.'
Why exactly does he not count? The rules stated:
You must create a Legendary minion for a Hearthstone Original Character not in Standard
Any character that started in Hearthstone counts, including those that eventually made their way into WoW
Your character must have been in Standard at some point - adventure characters don't count!
The one in standard (the General) is not the Captain it was before and the Fallen One i made is also a different version. It isn't stated anywhere that we cannot choose a character that has another version in standard right now ??!
It's ok if you're not a fan of cards with Charge, but to simply dislike it because it has Charge is in my opinion not fair.
I'll see what others have to say and maybe i will change it again.
I got a bunch of 50G rewards on login yesterday, and have already recieved the 5 "Apologising" Darkmoon packs right after the patch. As far as I know we haven't got the rewards for "Choose your Champion" yet.
There are also legendary quests active now where you can get Darkmoon packs.
I got the 5 "apology packs" already and got the 4 legendary quest packs, but yesterday I got additional 4 DF packs. I picked Jarla, so this should be it, most likely. I believe. Or some other free packs?
EDIT: I just made a quick recount.
I have 23 DF packs I'm storing for mini-expansion.

Since this one event is rather important lorewise I doubt it would be passed on simply because it has been played out in the previous adventure. So them repeating this scene can hardly be said to be cheap, though I hesitate to call it smart. Since we're obviously going to be the winner of this match, I don't see why they didn't just ramp Jaina's power level and give you the mana bomb in hand (maybe 7 mana and can only be played once the walls are down) to end the match. Instead what transpired is a simple 'reduce your enemy hero to 0' match where its clear that you're being given the upper hand as Garrosh in this one. For example, the hero power is no longer defunct once the walls are down and can sometimes be even crucial in maintaining tempo. Also, Jaina's gameplan seems a little off. She would frequently play Kirin Tor Tricaster over her much more powerful hero power on 4 for some reason.
I'd expect to see the same final match in Garrosh's story when Thrall's story comes along, but how'd they manage it is another thing entirely since he's supposed to lose to Garrosh the first time.
Regarding the skins. I'm not really a collector though I really like Garrosh's hero skin in this one. Much more so than both Jaina's and Rexxar's. But 10 usd for 5 packs is not exactly what I call value. Not sure if there's any unique voicelines even, but the concede voiceline in the adventure made me laugh. 10 out of 10.
Testing out some better art or naming since I think the card is otherwise pretty good to go. Speaking of feedback, I finally post some (sorry for late)!

I feel like this card could be dangerous just as a '3-of' for any big value generators. Any spell that summons big minions, board clears, or generates value is guaranteed to be good. That said, it does create some potentially interesting play-around turns where the opponent knows exactly what will occur if you do play her. I think its ultimately fine and a cool design for sure, but bumping up the cost and stats to compensate is a good conservative change.

Honestly not a huge fan of either of these designs. Kun is clunky and a late game mega-bomb in the right circumstances. Shudder needs a better name and the text is also clunky. Shudderwock is very grounded in Battlecry mechanics in every iteration and should stay as such.

I dig the Sherazin effect, although I'm on the fence about whether or not Sherazin is the right character for it. I will say that I think you should play it safe and go for the Voraxx instead, since Sherazin is technically in WoW. I also think the wording of the second sentence could be changed to 'It awakens when this leaves the board.' to be more consistent with other Dormant cards.

Face is established as a Rogue character, so making it Shaman doesn't fit. That said, Bamboozle does set a precedent for 'evolve' mechanics in Rogue. I like the idea of Myra, but I'm afraid that Necrium Bomb might be too spooky of a card. Spiritspeaker Umbra cost 4 for the same effect and still enabled some crazy stuff. Admittedly Rogue could use some Deathrattle love, so I think adjusting Myra to be just a battlecry and buffing her back to 4/2 could be a fine alteration.

Zavas unfortunately is not Hearthstone exclusive. "Discard card" also isn't a phrase that is properly established in the game, does it refer to cards that do something when they're discarded, cards that discarded, both? KofT would also be too early of a set to put her in since it's immediately after the OG card.

I like seeing Genzo get some love, but this card is super spooky. High cost corrupt cards like Carnival Clown are balanced around being difficult to corrupt and this can severely push them over. An on curve clown or Tickatus could be devastating and feel really bad to play against. If you really like this effect, I would say maybe bump up the cost to 5 and/or make it a class card.

Minions straight up costing 1 is way too dangerous, and the "downside" isn't even always a negative. Costing x less maybe, but even that can be dangerous.
Unfortunately, the Wolf doesn't work with Ozolith as it just blows it up. That being said I do feel like the card might be able to find a sweet spot since it's basically just Pernicious Deed on a stick, which is a very nice card already.
As for Kaya, she's super cool but I also am not sold on her viability-wise. I hope she's playable because I love the whole ghostform mechanic. Unfortunately again, it doesn't work favorably with the Ozolith given that the whole existence of the counters is to remind players of the revive thing.
Genuine question for those who have played the Garrosh solo adventure and done the Jaina fight. For Thereamore, the fight is basically the same as in Jaina's chapter in the first book of heros story. Main diffrence is that you switch sides using Garrosh's hero power to destroy the gates. The voice lines are very much the same, although with a few small additions. Overall, do you consider this to be clever as we see the same scenario from the other side, or a cheap reuse of assets? Perhaps both somehow? I'm undecided myself, so I'm curious to see what people think.
Also, additional question, How many of you think the warrior pack is worth buying now that we have more skins in the game overall?
How well is this deck performing? I've got all the cards for it, but... I've got to delete a deck to make it, and well, All the decks I have I have fun with and enjoy, but I've always thought that Dragoncaller Alanna never got a chance to shine. and would like to add this to my collection of wild decks, if it works.
You can get to 16 attack with a demon hunter, if you can get in hand and then have mana for up enough of Marrowslicer, Soulshard Lapidary, Twin Slice, Chaos Strike, and Relentless Pursuit to get to 16. I'm not sure if that is supposed to work or not, but that's how I got that one.
I wish they’d make class packs a thing. Way better for those of us not dropping hundreds of dollars on the game who want to just work on a class or two.
Yea, these totals are only using the lowest reward for the dailies. (now 900). NO xp bonus from the Battle Pass. And are a bit low on the 400 an hour. It seems to me that if I am winning and playing well, I get more than that in ladder.
They did this on purpose so people are more likely - by far - to get a better total XP. Better to estimate low and be happy with the results. :)
I may not have been clear, or I don't understand what you are saying.
I am referring to Total XP. Which apears to be total XP earned when achieving that level.
When you look at level 2 in the chart, Total XP is 250. (100 + 150). It does not take 250xp to go the next level. Nor have you earned 250 XP at level 2. So I do not understand what the 250 Total XP at level 2 is trying to tell me.
I guess is it is "Total XP earned by the time you reach the next level"? or "Total XP you will have to have earned in order reach the next level?" Not really what I want to see when I look at my stats for, say, level 35. I want to know what I need to earn for the next level, and what I earned to get to that level.
When I get to level 50 I want to know what my total earned XP is. Now I have to actually look at level 49 to see what the total XP is for level 50.
Just confusing to me. I love having the information. Well worth the effort of the admins to do. :)
I think the soul fragment version is better but I understand that spending 1600 for the Soul fragment payoff legendary can be tough so this is a good variant without it.
Achievements can reach a total of 27300XP (14800XP from DMF cards + 12500XP from Duels). That's 18,2 levels (post level 50) or 900G. Like you said, it's not a lot, but it's something (also, there is a certain satisfaction on going to wild ladder and simply troll your way through losses to get those achievements).
I agree with what you say and will eventually work on getting the Achievements. But also agree that they are not a significant portion of XP to keep someone from reaching level 50 and beyond.
That being said, I now have a strange urge to shoot you.... where is my nerf gun.... :)

Getting lethal with Oh My Yogg and Yogg Saron plus getting all 6 results of spin (that's too random).
As for the rest, I mostly can't get it because I don't have the necessary cards.

The XP on the chart is showing what you need to move from that level to the next.
So the level 1 XP of 100 is saying you need 100XP to reach level 2.
This is accurate, but it's a confusing way to present the information.
I agree about the totals.
