That is great stuff, well done community! I’m especially happy for Uther, that bad boy wasn’t cheap and the low effort voicelines flew under the radar.
I get the philosophy behind no additional voicelines for the Book-of-Heroes characters but then they should have been accessible through gameplay.
Keep cool dude, adding a new class was a huge thing that won’t be done again so quickly. I bet we have to wait at the very least another 2 years for an 11th class.
I only ever play Arena when rotation hits and I can grab a free run. I guess that explains why I'm so abysmally bad at this mode. This time I seem to have done something right, though: I've picked Demon Hunter + Mage and have gone 5-0 already. Robes of Protection and Bonechewer Vanguard (especially if combined with Immolation Aura and/or the Mage hero power) are my MVPs. Vulpera Scoundrel is a great addition, too and already won me a game by providing a Pyroblast. Even if I should lose the next 3 games, this has been an awesome run!
Bye, Guardian Animals. The nerfs seemed to have killed you. I hardly knew you, but we'll always have this turn 2 concede by a hated Mage to remember by.
Standard is now teeming with Face Hunters, Tempo Mages, Paladins, and a smattering of Priests. I played a lot yesterday and these were the only classes I faced.
I just have to say, any person who plays Face Hunter deserves a huge slap to the face.
I would be shocked if the third expansion isn't the Darkmoon Faire. The aesthetic on the teaser and aesthetic on the Darkmoon Faire cardback are identical. Like, so identical anything else would be Blizzard straight-up lying.
I also feel like Blushroom is more of a coincidence that a purposeful tie-in. AoO drew from Hellfire Peninsula and Shadowmoon Valley more than any other zone. There's bits and bobs from all over Outland, but all the promotion really focused on those. Compare Blushroom with the actual Hellfire Peninsula card back from last December together, and tell me which one screams 'Ashes of Outland' more.
I mean, I've wanted a Pandaria expansion for years now. This reasoning seems a bit flimsy to me, though.
Blizzard Post - Update on Scholar Jaina and Horseman Uther
I hope they put Jaina up for sale again, but I somewhat doubt it. I would have bought the bundle knowing this.
November and December Card Backs Revealed - Autumn Leaf & Valorous Virtue (Plus Some Speculation)
Valorous Virtue is really nice! I feel it's time to review my cardback collection again and not just use "random" on every deck. :)
