It saw play in some Rogue decks in Knights of the Frozen Throne since many Rogue decks at the time didn't run any 4-Cost cards anyway, except for maybe Sherazin. Therefore it didn't really warp your deck to put it in there, and it was Taunt and healing for Rogues which they appreciated.
When Fal'dorei Strider came out in the very next set, it stopped seeing play. Its glory was short-lived, but it was there.
I am super happy with the new Discard card support. Hoping to see them push it to the next level. Hopefully they give us a Legendary minion that will let us pick what gets discarded. :D We can dream...
The reason why is because if a new player starts tomorrow with the expansion, they will open up 4 Legendary minions. Due to the guaranteed Legendary that comes within the first 10 packs of a set.
They didn't mention this in the patch notes, but apparently the reason why these patches are pushing out is because Riot is declaring a week-long company holiday for the week of August 10th off to “disconnect, recharge, and reboot."
As much as I dislike the delay of get new toys, I have to say I really appreciate them caring about their employees' mental health--especially now during the pandemic when there's so much additional home stress and fear about losing / seeking alternative employment.
You just ticked me off to something that I can't wait to try! The main issue with Preparation has always been that running it makes your hand very small very quickly, but Secret Passage lessens that risk. Finally, I might be able to play Prep again.
You know, this one could actualy see some potential. Not only does Divine shield make it stickier, but it could be buffed with cards like Rallying Blade.
I was so shocked when they revealed Elise Starseeker at Blizzcon 2015, like I was mind blown I think I cried with so much excitement :P
Same thing happened during Un'goro when they revealed Elise the Trailblazer. Whhhaaaat?!?! You get to open a card pack DURING a game! :O OMG how is that even possible? xD
Interesting to see warrior get some card draw. I can see this being played as a combo with, or in the turn after, playing a weapon. With rogue weapon buffs, it could easily become a 0-cost.
I"m always happy to see my stealth synergy, and this looks like it could be really good for helping to possibly build up the archtype thanks to it being sticky and also with deathrattle synergy.
Yeah, I remember people discussing if it was going to be only from your minions and that would have made it a lot worse. Even in Baku Paladin playing it on 3-4 for 0 mana was a big deal but if it didn't count opponent minions it would not be played that much in anything else.
I think Corridor Creeper gets a pass from me because it was revealed in the final dump of cards - it was for sure widely panned, but I want to be generous and say that perhaps people weren't completely understanding how it would work.
I remembering being way wrong on both CC and To My Side!, but TMS always felt more insane because No Minion Hunter was not a thing at all before that expansion really, and the picture the cards painted of the deck just didn't feel good. How wrong we were!
I'm looking forward Diligent Notetaker followed up by Tidal Wave for late game shenanigans. The squelching that would happen immediately after that would be worth it. Granted, that may only really help you in situations where you were able to drag it out a long time without dying and you opponent having a rampant low health board... it still would be pretty satisfying to get off even if only for the meme.
I love these word searches, but for some unknown reason this time the swipe behavior (on Android) was quite dreadful. Was the same puzzle JS code plugin/library used as before? I did finally manage to complete it though.
