Well if this isn't a lead up to Lulu I don't know what is.

Agreed--5 out of 5.  I don't even know if it will be any good, but damn if it doesn't make me smile every time I look at it

I'm kind of shocked to not see Tour Guide in EVERY odd deck. 

Tour Guid in EVERY odd deck? Sounds great in Odd DH...

I didn't have any deck ideas to test him in. I didn't lose anything and can craft him later if I do.

One thing I will make note of on this thread is that as annoying as some cards (or classes) can be, the nerfs that come down the pipeline seem to be consistent on a couple of things:

1) A limited ability to disrupt it,

2) The majority of the meta is dominated by decks focused on that card and really abusing it

This is what I am battling with currently.  Cards like Secret Passage, Lightning Bloom, Kael'thas Sunstrider, or even the burst of use of Tour Guide in Wild Odd decks are examples of how a card can disrupt game play quickly and almost without recourse (granted Tour Guide is on the lower end of the pool in this reference, the other card are VERY much obviously on the list for a reason).

With that in mind, what else has anyone seen that seems to inspire images of a digital plague?

Oh I guess you may be right.

Great write up on this.  Kel'Thuzad has always been my favorite character in WoW and I have made a number of D&D characters based off of him.  Good work. 

I'm kind of shocked to not see Tour Guide in EVERY odd deck.  I wrote about how much of a killer card it is for Odd Paladin and Rogue, but in that Shaman build, it would allow you to get spell damage on the table specifically for the Arcane Watcher for only 1 mana.  

Yeah, with the Mindbreaker test findings I'd say there seems to be a yes/no value in the code to say if the hero power has been used.  As you mentioned, refreshing or replacing the power sets that back to "no" and Panthara is looking for a "yes" value.  Mindbreaker I would assume just disables the power without changing that value, and the hero power flipping over is just a cosmetic change in that instance.

So that makes me think Coldarra would also interfere with Panthara's effect as it resets the hero power after each use.  Always fun learning more about interactions like this.

Oooo, that would be a great idea! Not sure they'd spend an entire novel on it, but they could use a novella or shot web story like they've done for other things to help flesh out the world a bit. It's not out of the question for them to tell more details about a past story either, since they went back and wrote a novel all about Illidan in Outland to share some more info about him before he returned in Legion. Kel'Thuzad is going to appear in Shadowolands, so it's not impossible that something could happen. I wouldn't count on it, though. 

If the deck tracker is part of the game, why would it not be allowed?

If it wasn't (and it was approved), then I think it is fine, as you can do the same thing a deck tracker does manually.

Must have been quite some work. Well done.

Agreed. MTGA's Historic is so much more expensive than HS's Wild because of various reasons. In HS I play Wild only, but in MTGA... It's Standard once in a while but not being able to keep up.

Rotating sets were one of my favorite additions to HS so I'm glad they might be returning.  Personally I would be fine with them having the first 2 months of each expansion be Standard cards in Arena and the last 2 months rotate to a mixed set.

You can use a pencil to track everything a decktracker does, so, no cheating. Even % of drawing x card can be done with a calc, its not cheating

Looks interesting, but as a relatively new player I rather concentrate my resources on standard.
