6 mana at slow speed sounds like a deal breaker to me--it calls to mind Trueshot Barrage and Winter's Breath, both of which sound incredible on paper but in practice no one runs them due to how awkward they are to use.
Both of those spells are very situational, requiring opponent to have multiple weak (or weakened) units on board. For that reason, they aren't really worth the mana cost even though the effect is very powerful in a perfect world.
I know it feels wrong to drop Anivia, but I think at the end of the day you either commit to running 3x Trundle + 3x Tryndamere or you keep the historic 3x Anivia + some combination of Tryn and Thresh. Decks that try to "hedge" with 2/2/2 usually don't do as well.
The new problem which occurred is that the meta is becoming face race. Nobody trades, including me. Which is sad, because trade aspect of the design is very important for this game. Face decks make the meta diverse for now, but we can expect raise of anti-aggro decks, soon. Like Enrage Warrior. For some reason, that obnoxious Druid hasn't been recovered yet. It sure will, eventually. GA is a meta warping card.
Haha. "new" problem. Face decks have existed since card games were invented.

But... this is all fine. The worst thing in HS currently is the newest iteration of Priest. It's not good (I win 63% of the time vs. them this season), but a single match-up against it ruins my day, makes me quit. Those are non-games. Complete nonsense. You just play whatever, because there's no any reasoning behind anything, maybe you win in the end, maybe not... It's never because of your decision, though. The better your decisions and cards are the worse are your chances to win. Good plays are never rewarded. Awful experience.
The revamp of Priest is a complete failure, imo. It's impossible to go back from this gen/yoink garbage, because they printed so much of it and obviously think that direction is fine. The only hope is if they obliterate Galakrond. There are numerous ways to design win-strats for a class, but they still went for yoink, obviously to feed toxicity of sadist players. No other sane reason why would they continuously design such strats instead of some others.
I'm probably way off, but Windspeaker? For the windfury, for him giving the windfury (not himself), and also I think the answer is something that rhymes with "killer".
I've made a dedicated section for European Merch. This is also linked at the top of the Merch Store under "European Catalog". Anything there will ship from Europe.
For other countries around the world, fulfillment is only in the US and Europe (Though Stickers and Mugs can be fulfilled in Australia too) so if you're worried about import taxes, my suggestion would be to only order an item to possibly skirt through the customs process. For what its worth, when I ordered samples of everything, they came from the USA and I wasn't charged any import duties when they came over the US/Canada border. I also received each of my items one at a time which was sorta frustrating, but that likely helped with that too.
I was one of the many victims of this "turn skip" bug and i'm glad it won't happen anymore. This is a good change in the short term but they should definitely do something about this card. Nozdormu has been an issue for a long time and it's not even a competitive card. It should be reworked. It NEEDS to be changed.
There you go! That's the list I hit legend with (I think that was the standard one), but I switched out the Whirlwind and Plague of Wrath with two copies of Awaken! because I'm facing a lot of Aggro Rogues recently, just to immediately clear their stealthed 1-health minions and hit them in the face for 3. It's got mixed results so far, I think this list I posted is still kind of better.
Goal is to tutor Wrenchcalibur then re-equipping it Hoard Pillagers and buffing it with Doctor Krastinov and Upgrade! You can shuffle up to 10 bombs in your opponent's deck, if they don't die first from getting hit in the face constantly :P
I understand why they do this, so that you don't randomly lose time on your turns. But it still feels like a very weird, random, arbitrary exclusion for just one specific card to be removed from the pool. Dream Portal can now summon any Dragon except this one specific one.
It's like if they removed the ability to generate Pyroblast (or any other Mage spell for that matter) from Primordial Glyph or some other random Mage spell generator. While we're at it, let's make it so that all those 1/1s can no longer be evolved into. Or make it so that Totemic Call can no longer summon Searing Totem. To just have one random card excluded from a generation pool just feels weird.
Fulfillment is either in the USA, Latvia, or Spain. It will ship from the closest available source unless it happens to be out of stock. I wish there was a way we could automatically display that information to everyone because I know how much import taxes can suck.
Thinking about it though... I could probably set it up so we had different products based on your region. I'll have to dig into that.
I just played a 40-minute game against this Suicide Warlock who kept roping the entire game. He always waited until the rope was halfway through before making his move, and I got pissed off by turn 4 that I started roping him too. It wasn't until turn 10 when he decided to stop screwing around, but he still took his time.
I did end up winning the game (pretty satisfying too, he got me down to 6 health but I was able to armor up and he drew like 3 consecutive bombs and suiciding with two Crazed Netherwings), but man, what a WASTE OF TIME. I hope I wasted that idiot's time too and made him feel bad that I beat his ass at his own game.
The problem is I don't really enjoy Mage that much...I'm actually undecided between crafting Astromancer Solarian and Murozond the Infinite since they're the legendaries I'm missing for highlander Mage and Priest decks. I'll wait to see how the meta settles before deciding, but you're right, Solarian does look more flexible.
Yeah but not from portals which is the only time I ever saw him.
I played a lot of Ysera in wild (dragon jade druid) and it was always fun when he popped up.
Admittedly it screwed me sometimes, and perhaps was less fun for my opponent especially if it meant they couldn't do their turn properly, so I can see why the change is happening.
Would prefer it to be fixed, though their current implementation of their server + 2 x client model makes this problematic. So like many are saying perhaps a new effect would be nice.
Might as well just fix that Nozdormu effect or better yet, just make animations no longer cost time. Even better, just have the option to remove them altogether. I think some pros were asking for stuff like that for years.
If ever there is a card that desperately needs a redesign its Nozdormu, and I'm not entirely saying that because I still have a golden copy of him gathering cobwebs in my collection.
I'm not too upset tho, while Nozdormu's helped me win some late games he's also screwed me over a game or two as well, especially when my opponent makes some interactions that last longer than the rope, that cuts in on my time.
Is this really a nerf though? Not sure it is a buff either, more like a non-event. Although I don’t these type of targeted change, it seems like a hack solution.
New Targon Spell - Sunburst
On top of this, as has been said above, a lot of the reaction options to try and avoid this damage won't even work
Hearthstone Hotfixes - Ysera, Unleashed Can No Longer Summon Nozdormu
His mechanic just doesn't work anywhere, considering that in the past it even broke the game (like killing Nozdormu resets the turn timer..).

They could change his effect to something different entirely, something better and less problematic.

Would be nice if this smallest of indie companies just fixed the code instead of settling for workarounds like this.

Thanks. By the way, while I was waiting for someone's answer, I wrote a few more.
Windspeaker not even close to answer. (Look at the first line of the riddle).
Yes, the answer rhymes with "killer".
Warmother's Trundle
I know it feels wrong to drop Anivia, but I think at the end of the day you either commit to running 3x Trundle + 3x Tryndamere or you keep the historic 3x Anivia + some combination of Tryn and Thresh. Decks that try to "hedge" with 2/2/2 usually don't do as well.
Priest and Resurrect
I agree 100%.

The problem isn't getting Noz, the problem is that each portal animation takes half an hour to complete.

Floors exist at 5 and 10 of each tier. You get notified when you cross a floor because it pops up and adds stuff to your end of season chest.
