I'm inclined to disagree due to it being a 7 mana Mind Control. As long as you can control the board a bit, which is what Control decks do, there shouldn't be an issue with grabbing your opponents stuff.
Super fun card. 10 spells is a piece of cake for cyclone mage. Priest should be able to get there without too much trouble, too. Paladin might take longer but Libram with Liadrin certainly does the job.
Card seems pretty cool. Hard to evaluate how swingy The turn you play this would be since we do not know the rest of The corrupted cards, but I can see this being at The top end of some control deck fitting The same role as DQ Alex played before she got nerfed.
One thing that I'm not a fan of is how this card just capitalized The. What The heck blizzard, this alone made this card The worst in the set and I'm not down to negotiate this.
As of now, we do not know. As we get closer to the launch date of them on November 12th, we'll most likely get more information but until then, everything would just be speculatory. I personally think it might tie into the whole progression tree, earning you new stuff whenever you'd get certain milestones of points, but we'll just have to wait and see.
The "new" playmode is a big disappointment to me. I was hoping for something fresh (2on2, 3on3).
On Top of that, the whole old god thing feels like recycling+tweaking old ideas. I loved them back in the days, but to get confronted with them over and over again is just boring.
Thanks for everything Blizzard. Had a lot of fun with your games, but it feels like i have hit the end of the road today.
Anyway, i wish you all a lot of fun with HS, had a good time with the community here.
Typically achievement points are just a measure of comparison and not a real currency. They didn't announce anything specific, so I can only imagine that will be the case here too.
Please say they've taken the low-hanging fruit and gone for Wild with a set rotation (once a month, or maybe even less ideally). They asked about whether people would be interested in it earlier in the year, it's super easy to do, and will make thousands of cards have a chance at being relevant again.
Come one Blizz, I know doing the easy and obvious thing that is guaranteed make the players happy doesn't always come naturally to you *cough* rogue hero portraits *cough*, but you can do it this time surely?
I get around 1-2 quests from friends each week (it used to be every other day before the latest quest change to reroll 50 into 60 and vice versa). It felt like a stealth nerf already. If that "economy" is missing, I lose about 2k gold per expansion. Already saved up 5k by the end of this week. I'm sure the new system won't grant me about 10k with questing daily and occasionally receiving a challenge a friend quest.
It has its potential in many decks. Can turn the tides pretty easily if done right. I think aggro/midrange decks could love this card. Cause a single taunt can be easily stolen in late games for aggro/midrange decks to find their lethal or just steal it to give your opponent even less options.
This card is probably weak against aggro/ midrange cards as they go agressive all the time though with smaller minions.
Control decks will love this card as they can abuse it against other control decks.
It might not be strong against combo decks but there is good potential to steal a minion they might need for a set up.
Sounds like you're a victim of your own expectations. If you enjoyed playing Hearthstone yesterday, I really don't see how introducing a bunch of fresh content makes it suddenly suck today.
I like Valeera as much as anyone, and will happily collect the fifteen thousand variants of her I'm sure will appear over the next year or so. But the devs are well aware the community has been waiting on another rogue character for ages because they told us near the start of the year. So to pass some of the few prominent rogue characters WoW has to offer, only to be handed throwaway skins like Horseman Uther or those only tangentially related like N'Zoth, makes you wonder what twisted process they go through when deciding which skins to make.
No disrespect to the N'Zoth skin - it's probably one of the better ones - but it's standing in someone else's shoes and I was so much more interested in the person he took them from.
So, same as Battlegrounds, they'll be nerfing and buffing hero powers and treasures on a regular basis to keep things interesting. Given the massive number of permutations this mode introduces, I'm not worried about the Duels meta growing stale. If it does get bad, they'll just change things. Give the devs some credit! They've been very proactive with Battlegrounds, and they have every incentive to be equally involved with Duels.

The expansion launches nov 17 we get the pre patch nov 12.
And the 35 cards are not something we get, they are added to the newest expansions card pool.
New Neutral Minion - Darkmoon Rabbit
Maybe a new toy for Rez Priest? It being in ping range removes a lot of other options, such as pulling it with Commencement.
New Neutral Minion - C'Thun, the Shattered
This in Wild Shudderwock Quest Shaman.

It feels a little bit like a repress of a limited edition vinyl...
New Druid Minion - Kiri, Chosen of Elune
For the Survival combo, you could play Kiri the turn before, making it a 10 mana combo.

New Shaman Spell - Dunk Tank
Oops. My bad, I misread the card.
I still think it is pretty good though. It's like a mini The Lurker Below.
Silas Darkmoon

The card just deal 4 damage.
If you play it corrupted adds a Consecration effect.
