I always see Sylvanas and think, "Rogue opponent" until I realize the hero power is Steady Shot. I know the lore, she was a ranger, so Hunter is a fit, but I see her and don't think Hunter for some reason. Color scheme perhaps?
They've never ever done that. I guarantee it won't happen - you don't need official confirmation for something like that. It might actually be illegal in some municipalities.
The animated Garrosh portrait at 500 wins is pretty nice, honestly. With the flames all around him. And Scholar Jaina... so Jaina in her younger, college years?! Maybe her WC3 look.
I do like the fact that people can obtain cardbacks from 5 years ago. Although I do think that there has to be a red stamp on them to differentiate from the Month-reward.
To keep it more unique. I am pretty proud that I have all the cardbacks from 38 consecutive months!
lol, and when i had said that for Ragnaros card back, back then in this site, I got 200+ downvotes. Same with Tyrande.
New poison animation but no actual balance changes to Murlocs who still steamroll everything in the late game. The cat hero seems interesting but not great. You get to discover a minion from a dead player and it keeps all enchantments and everything but you can only wait and hope you can live until someone dies. If that person was too weak then won't get a lot from the first death then you have to wait again. Seems really tricky. The Battlegrounds meta has been quite brutal since the introduction of Pirates. You just take a lot of damage very quickly.
Wish they'd just add the Dalaran Heist chars as alt heroes (default hero powers obviously), they even have the emotes and all. I'd pay good money to take Ol Barkeye, Rakanishu or Squeamlish to the ladder
Some spell dmg shaman with bloodlust in his deck might be interested in this one. Otherwise, elemental synergies are long gone for standard shaman. Gone, but not forgotten.
Rogue has some weapons and ways to buff them, but ye warrior is just superior.
Nonetheless, both classes can use some extra cheap card draw, so it will be interesting to see which deck will include this one. I like the design, the name and the artwork.
Man, I'm getting more impressed with 2020's ranked card backs! I, too, am quite curious on finished package for Faerie Tail - it's even better than I expected! The Breaker is darn dope too - with this and Scholomance, I really like the return of ranked card backs based on structures/architectures.
Nice one. Even with the new 1/4 rogue weapon. Your opponent needs to spend a rush minion or some spell to remove this one asap, otherwise you can just swing with those daggers every turn for 3dmg at least.
I'm really intrigued by Horseman Uther and Annhylde, looking forward to when or if more on them gets revealed.
On another note, if the variations of the original heroes are achievements rewards, I do hope they get a hero tray of their own. It's because of that factor that I'm not very interested in the 1k wins portraits.
Too many good cards. I think a lot of refinement will go in to every deck and every class.
And while the studies are good for every class (especially with the discount), I think this and some of the others just won't find an available slot. It's just too much RNG and unless you want to use the discount for some funky "combo", you will just include the stuff that you want and not try to get it this way.

New Warlock Spell - Demonic Studies
Interesting arguments about discounting Lord J. It actually might work. But will it be competitive enough in standard?

New Mage Minion - Firebrand
Spider Tank Stats are always nice. 4 Health on T3 should be enough (most of the Time) to make it to the next Turn and have the Effect go off.
New Shaman Spell - Tidal Wave
The idea for this spell to cost 8 is just beyond me.
But nice, spell shaman has a way to stabilize late.
The Cupcake Card Back (April 2015 Ranked Reward) Appears to be Returning to the Hearthstone Shop
Glad another card back is returning, the road to certain stuff that I want is hopefully drawing near!
Though it's not one that I would use, I'll still buy it to add to the collection.

New Shaman Weapon - Rune Dagger
This is so much better than, let's say, the hunter legendary minion that gave you tho'ridal. I belive this will see some action.

Definitely didn't expect a free class legendary or even six Scholomance packs. A welcomed surprise for sure!

New Druid Minion - Gibberling
I think when the new Gibberling is summoned it will have Spell Burst.
So this + Lightning Bloom x2 + Innervate x2 + Moonfire x2 will give you a full board and 6 aviable mana for Blessing of the Ancients x2.
28/28 board for a 9 card combo. Not that bad lol

New Mage Spell - Cram Session
Honestly, I think „2 Mana draw 1 Card" alone might be good enough on it's own.
And with the Spell Damage Support Mage got, it's also very easy to take Advantage of the Upside. T1 Lab Partner into T2 Cram Session.
New Rogue Minion - Vulpera Toxinblade
Nice one. Even with the new 1/4 rogue weapon. Your opponent needs to spend a rush minion or some spell to remove this one asap, otherwise you can just swing with those daggers every turn for 3dmg at least.
Commencement
A very powerful tool for a recruit big warrior.
Just imagine a Scrapyard Colossus with divine shield, gg well played.
New Rogue Minion - Shifty Sophomore
Stealth synergy is what you want off of this card. If your deck is requiring stealth minions - sure, include that.
But the spellburst and the stats for the cost are nothing amazing to say the least.
Wave of Apathy
Enabling Cabal Shadow Priest to steal any enemy minion
New Mage Minion - Wyrm Weaver
Summoning 2 Mana Wyrms could be really good, but they can't attack immediatly, and 3 Health at T5+ is very hard to stick.
I'd guess on average you'll get 1 Turn with 1 Wyrm left.

I got him and tied for 8th place with one other player. Great hero power :D
