For a second I wondered why Blessing of Targon was more expensive than Fury of the North.

Then I realized the buff is permanent. Dang.

The thing is, for some of the combinations of tribes, there outright might not be enough room on the bottom of the card to write it out. Murloc already takes up a lot of room on it, even having Mech there as well might be a bit too much

It's not a keyword because there are no cards with more text or there are no cards with more text because it's not a keyword?

Poisonous became a keyword with Mean Streets of Gadgetzan. Let's take a look:

Cards with the keyword Poisonous released before Gadgetzan (9 sets*): 4 (0.44 average per set)
Cards with the keyword Poisonous released after Gadgetzan (13 sets): 30 (2.3 average per set)

*8 if we count Classic and Basic as only one

I may have made some mistake when counting or classifying, but it's obvious that it became more common after it became a keyword.

To turn your first point back around... Or it was made a keyword because they were planning to make it more common. Remember that they are several expansions ahead behind the scenes, so if they make a keyword now and it turns up lots in the next few expansions, they already had that cooking. 

This seems truly outrageous!! 

It’s an old Brawl from before Raza was a card, ya dingus

Arthas is a paladin both in WoW and HS already so probably either Ner’Zhul or Lich King.

Same with you: ‘I don’t agree with your comment so it must be a lie’

Does anyone know if Inspire effects work? I put in Manafeeder Panthara and can confirm that the card draw effect does not work.

Moved to Custom Hearthstone.

The start of the next season is still in the air. We are trying to come up with a good plan.

A plan for the competitions themselves? Or are you throwing something new into the mix?

Also, is there anything community can help you guys figure out?

I'm excited to hear what they'll do with the Basic/Classic Set. If they're going to bring back some older Cards, I really hope we'll see Whizbang the Wonderful again. 

Not sure, but I think I would be quite willing to pay 2 mana to remove the restriction from Take Heart.

I'm just so glad to get another region with decent buffs!

Dropped Raza on Turn 5, my opponent conceded after I hit the hero power button like 8-10 times. Almost felt bad. Obviously the team put absolutely no effort into this. 

Is this better or worse than Mentor of the Stones? Hard to say.

Gems are kind of a weird animal, and I'm not sure how many you really want. I mean, Arbiter of the Peak obviously loves them, but you can't ignore the mana cost -- essentially 2 mana per gem when you add up what it takes to generate and cast them. The gem's effect itself is not worth 2 mana, so you have to be sure it's commensurate with whatever ancillary effect you hope to achieve. With Arbiter, that's a mana cost reduction of 1 ... kind of a wash, really. On the other hand, leveling up Taric is invaluable, but you hardly need to use a 4-mana Slow spell to make that happen.

I am on the fence but slightly pessimistic about this one.

Without Megasaur, they are dragons but worse.

I would replace Murloc Tidehunter for any non-token murloc. Tidehunter + Brann (and sometimes Khadgar) makes transitioning into murlocs late game relatively easy, making their bad early/mid game mostly irrelevant.

Quote From Vino

1 health is immidiate yellow card... but it generates 3 cheap spells (which is great) and if it lives, it grants +2/+2 on support.

Tough to judge.

1 support and 3 spells will reduce the cost of Arbiter of the Peak by 4, it also helps with leveling Taric up.

I think the way to think of it is as a slow-speed +2/+2 buff and 4 progressions for Taric/Arbiter with a free 1/1 body--9 times out of 10 the body won't mean anything, but every so often it let you chain with Mountain Sojourners / receive a support buff that would have otherwise gone unused / buff enough to trade with its blocker / use defensively as a clutch chump block / attack twice / etc.

But it's not even that because the support buff will be thwarted by a ping in so many instances. How many resources are you going to expend keeping this alive long enough to attack? For deckbuilding purposes, you should just assume the support buff never happens.

However, three cheap Burst-speed buff spells from one card? That's incredible value you can't afford to ignore if you are running Taric, or maybe even Ezreal. So basically, it's a must-include for a specific archetype (or two), and worthless everywhere else. That's three stars in my book.

So, I toke note of all possible heropowers, and since a lot of them summons for you, or stalls your opponent, I made a token druid. I am 3-0 with it, even one against Kael'thas Druid, and a control priest whose spell cost was reduced by 3.

(summon 3 whelps, , summon Tron, summon 2 2/1, , summon 3/3, one damage per enemy minion+summon slimes, random spell from opponents class, random destroy enemy minion, random Sap,  summon minion from deck, draw card and get 1 mana)

Didn't want to think a deck and just build something quick, this worked perfectly, thanks!

I agree with Vino and 40--this seems OK for expedition, but in constructed you're going to find better early-game units.  Reminds me a bit like Vanguard Defender: fine on paper, but in practice there are 40+ other cards you'd rather have in your deck.

Not as broadly useful as the Gift Giver, and you'll have to work a bit too hard to get multiple gems out of it.

Even in a buff/support deck, there are much better options for 2 mana.

Allows you to contest the early board while supporting many key archetypes. Excellent.
