I guess we'll have to wait for tomorrow/Monday to know for sure :/ I think you might be right, but at the same time it seems super weird to me to include Soraka's face on a card and not have her in the game (yet).

Yeah but what if they are just using her support cards as filler because they wanted to have a few more cards in the first expansion? No other champion has had any of their support cards revealed alongside other reveals, which could be because Soraka has too many support cards to fit in their 10-ish reveals per champion schedule, or because her support cards are being released in a different expansion than her. Also, given that Aurelian Sol and Shyvanna will likely have dragon synergy, they could decide to either split them up to give Dragons two waves of support, or they could save both of them for one expansion. I really hope they release Soraka though, I’m excited to see how they are going to make a heal deck function and be interesting in LoR.

No, I don't think so. I'm almost 100% sure evasion was deliberately chosen instead of ice block...

It was indeed. waiting made me think of Rogues sneakily lying in wait. Nice on Live4vrRdieTryn! :)

Cygnus seems incredibly weak to me. 6 mana for a 4/2 with elusive only for 1 turn, if you can trigger the nightfall. Yes, granting an ally elusive is good but the effect already exists in ghist and the piltover map. Why run this when you can get the same effect for 1 or even 0 mana?

Hmm...we really only have one more space for a champion, don't we. I thought we had two left, for ASol and Soraka together, but I miscounted (stupid Nocturne). It's got to be Soraka, though...right? They've been showcasing Soraka cards throughout the week D:

This seems pretty bad. For 1 more mana you can play rummage, discard 1 more card and draw 2 actual cards from your deck instead of Daring Poros. If discard decks really need a lot of discards to consistently discard their discard synergy cards then I could see this seeing play. This is the only way to discard at burst speed other than rummage, so maybe that gives this some hope. In a Poro or Von Yip deck, the Daring Poro is good enough that you might even want to run more than 3 of it, so in that deck I could see it being viable. Finally, as a zero mana spell it could be useful in a fizz deck.

About Soraka, I really hope that she’s coming next, but I’m scared that it might be Aurelian Sol instead. Aurelia Soll’s theme is used in the Targon trailer, the coloring of the background to the last constellation matches his color scheme, and he is a very popular champion that riot might want to use to promote the expansion. However, if Soraka doesn’t come then we’ll have a bunch a heal cards that won’t really make a deck until the second or third expansion of the set, which would be annoying.

This seems pretty good in any deck that runs non-elusive 3+ Power units and wants a finisher. The 4/2 elusive body is worth somewhere between 4 and 5 mana, so adding on a Ghost for 1-2 Mana seems pretty good. I like that they’re printing an elusive card that doesn’t work well in pure elusive decks (this is far worse than Windfarer Hatchling in an elusive Ionia deck).

Was not expecting Diana to be so small, but I like it. The combination of Quick Attack and Challenger will work out nicely, although she really needs to be leveled up if you expect her to kill anything.

Also Hush might be the most blatant example yet that Soraka is coming up next (or last). It's got her face right on the card lol

Drawing cards is so valuable in LoR, I think this will definitely see play. Even without the Draw a card it’s almost like a halved Fury of the North! With all of these Targon draw cards (guiding Light, Zenith Blade, and this card), TF Targon could be a real deck!

This can silence champions! Sure it’s only for a round, but the ability to have this be relevant in more matchups is important. One thing I wonder is if Silencing a champion resets its “I’ve seen” requirements (for example, if you silence a TF that has seen the opponent draw 6 cards, when it becomes unsilenced does it regain its progress or go back to 0?). Also, can a champion progress its level up or level up while silenced?

That's NOT card generation, but body generation.

Also, Murgur Murgurgle and Murgurgle Prime are NOT the same card, despite being clearly tied to each other.

Recent hotfix "only" prevents cards from generating directly themselves into your hand.

Anything else can still happen, with body generation, and with indirect generation (via a middle-card).

I see the meaning in your words, it should be so.

Right.

I think the point should still be given to Dermostatic.

Ice Block? 

Just played a game where my Mugurgle Prime produced two Murgurs. Pretty sure that should fall into line of cards not generating themselves.

TOTEMS!!!  My pretty TOTEMS!!!

22nd August update: Evildevil's Beast Jade Druid Part 2: Mindrender OP? (Scholomance Academy) (1080p)

Part 2 of our showcase on Evildevil's Beast Jade Druid. Whilst Yogg didn't go off in any of these games, the final game against Reno Quest N'Zoth Priest was fun. I forgot Mindrender exists in Reno Priest!
