We're gonna get there one day. Big Hunter on the horizon.

In many cases, the reasoning given here for changing/not changing various cards only confirms what I've suspected for a long time now -- the live team's idea of fun and my idea of fun share very little common ground.

I assume therefore that when duels heroic is launched, we can have active runs left at 2 losses for both arena and duels heroic, and when each rotates we get a free pack.

There is a good dream of going infinite, but it looks more likely to get carefully cleared.

The AoE benefit comes online on turns 5-6 at the earliest, putting it in competition with Hagatha's Scheme, Earthquake, and Tidal Wave. The only application I see for this is the Y'Shaarj, the Defiler combo with Circus Medic in Quest Shaman, but that seems slow and fringe at best.

2 Mana Draw 2 seems good, and if you're playing Shuffle Rogue deck with Ticket Master, C'Thun, the Shattered, or even Shadow of Death and Waxadred, it's basically draw 2 and summon a Minion, since the Cast when Drawn cards are all Spells.

This is the kind of card K'thir Ritualist wanted to be.

This is way too slow.

Big Priest is going to make a comeback. I can already hear people re-crafting Barnes.

If you are missing C'Thun: it's spelled like this: C T H U N

Drop this and then Expendable Performers to push 36 damage into the opponent's board. Then question why you picked up demon hunter if you weren't going face.

Pretty consistent unconsistency. You can "cheat" your deck in order to have a high chance of getting a cheaper Mind Control.

Anyway playing against it, seems the final ingredient to be finally tired of RNG plays.

Should go face :(

I feel like literally every Priest will run this card.

Seems too slow.

I like that there is at least one option to play in standard for potentially countering Polkelt decks. Does this card ever get played uncorrupted? It says remove the cards, not discard them so it won't even fit into any mechanics if is played vanilla.

Seems a bit slow.

First drop 7 mana Expendable Performers to corrupt this, then plop him down to run 25 damage into the enemy board and have a 4/5 left over. Then ask yourself why you didn't just run Marrowslicer + Lapidary and go face.

Competition Theme: Old Gods, New Tricks

Quick, the Old Gods are coming! We'd best design a card to appease them...

• You must create a Class minion with the Corrupt mechanic
  • Thankfully, Y'Shaarj isn't too picky - we don't mind if you leave out the Corrupted version of the card, given how tricky it might be to find appropriate art
• Your minion must be of a minion type not typically associated with your Class
  • We need to make sure N'Zoth has enough fuel! Here's a list of the minion types we think are normally associated with each class:
    • Show Spoiler

      • Demon Hunter - Demons
      • Druid - Beasts
      • Hunter - Beasts, Mechs
      • Mage - Mechs, Elementals, Dragons
      • Paladin - Mechs, Murlocs, Dragons
      • Priest - Elementals, Dragons
      • Rogue - Pirates
      • Shaman - Elementals, Murlocs, Totems
      • Warlock - Demons
      • Warrior - Mechs, Pirates, Dragons

MathU and grumpymonk both gave us some great options for the competition this week, so we combined them into one Old God celebrating theme!

As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

Discussion Thread Rules

I think this is a fine "I win now" card for a lot of control decks, most of the pieces seem fine to play as is.

The issue with this is that it's not aggressive enough for Zoolock or defensive enough for slower Warlock decks. Although a great pull from Archwitch Willow, Ring Matron just doesn't offer enough inherent synergy by itself and can't be consistently discounted with Free Admission.

I know Arena at the moment its not the main subject of discussion, and its far from the glorious days as a game mode, but I am one of the few ones who still enjoy it a lot, and still play it for at least 4-5 days per week. I was refreshing this forum a lot this  to find some thoughts on the upcoming meta, and upcoming rotation, or cards, and nothing, I know that we have the Arena impact, but even that one if not full. I know I am not boozor, sinti or some other of you favorite Arena contend creator, but I still decided to write a post about this to share my opinions, and to ask what to you guys think about the upcoming set to Arena, it will be impactful enough? it will change the meta? is corrupt cards good for Arena? Below I had few videos in which I show my thoughts for the upcoming expansion.

Playlist, with meta analysis, card review, and best classes.

Arena card only.

True Yoggsanity. Two options that seem good for consistent board control, one option that hearkens back to the original card, two options that leave your hand or the board full of randomness, and one option that will absolutely end the game that turn. What's not to love?

Really strong draw option.
