Besides the obvious Combo cough*Malygos*cough , there aren't that many Targets for this, at least in Standard. Maybe you just play a t5 Abyssal Summoner or get a cheap Zzeraku the Warped?
At the end of the day, while it's clear Demon Hunter has stolen most of its cards from the Neutral pool - which is cool, as most neutral cards are just pack filler either way - one thing actually changed:
There are now MORE LEGENDARIES each set. It's apparent that Demon Hunter hasn't taken away any legendary spot from the neutral pool, so... Oof for that.
It appears however that the set has actually lost epic slots - previously, the total epics for a set was 27, in this expansion, the number is decreased to 23 - which hilariously enough means it will be faster for big spenders to earn the full epic collection of a set, thus making the epic duplicate protection they just introduced less relevant, but only for big spenders
I mean, looking at what has been announced so far for the new year, things are already looking much more affordable. Yes, you can still spend as much money as you want, but being able to complete the common and rare sets of cards so easily now it adds so much to the affordability of the game.
I have 3 copies of all Demacia Champions, and Demacia is my active road.
I just opened a platinum chest at level 18, and one of the capsules upgraded to Champion. I figured the Champion would turn into shards, but no! It became my second copy of Ashe instead!
So there you have it: a Freljord Champion from a Demacia chest when no more Demacia Champions are needed.
Random rewards are stupid, period. If they are so keen on player agency in both gameplay and collecting, they should just rework the system to hand out only wildcards. They might have to give fewer cards overall, but at least you'd always get something you want.
Maybe also let us trade wildcards for coins, even at a super steep exchange rate, so we can use them to buy boards and stuff.
Instead of running mediocre Removal, that requires another Card to become good, and a Minion that does nothing on its own, I'd just... run Removal that's good in general.
This art reminds me of Stormhammer, where it looks like a shaman card, sounds like a shaman card, but then was a hunter card. Except in this case, it looks like a warrior card, sounds like a warrior card but ends up as a priest card.
Aside from me hating this card for almost everything it stands for, it looks pretty fun and definitely shouldn't be slept on. Given the new 2 drop that priest got in its classic set, there's a chance a tempo focused priest deck sees the light of day. All that's really missing, in my opinion, is something to fill in the boots of Northshire Cleric, less in that it draws a ton of cards and more just that a 1/3 stat line that you can play on one. Sure the 1 mana 2/2 is strong and all but just for the sake of consistency some sticky minion that isn't dead weight on its own would be needed to push this style of deck into relevancy.
Artwork aside, if priest can stick minions in the first couple of turns this can be very strong, and will certainly feel crazy when your opponent cannot get rid of it. The requirement of actually having another minion, and it only totaling 4/4 stats the first turn means it should be fair in reality, especially as a 3 mana 2/2 doesn't feel nearly as good on its own as a 2 mana 2/2 (I'm looking at you Shadow Ascendant).
I want to know how Spiritsinger Umbra would work with this. If it responds the same way as Carnivorous Cube, then the trigger stack would make it really awesome. However, Hearthstone doesn't seem to utilize the order of a trigger stack so I'm thinking that it would only really be useful in swarm decks if you can kill it the turn you play it.
That is his Booterang. There are many like it but that one is his. As an overseer he uses that Booterang to sow terror into the hearts of defiant peons. Proper use of the booterang instills obedience and ensures subservience.

I'm soooo happy priest is getting the makeover it is. It was becoming very hard to play that class (my favorite) any longer....

Not trying to make the game more expensive. I wish that were true. Every year the game has gotten more expensive.

Meh...

What Does Stand United Do?
Any Spells targeting one will also then target the other instead. So if your opponent casts Vengeance on your unit you can change the target
What Does Stand United Do?
So if I swap my 2 attackers. They will exchange blockers. Pretty much?

Quite comparable to Shadow Ascendant, with the difference that it costs 1 more and has its buffs doubled.
New Warrior Minion - Kargath Bladefist
I wonder how it'll work with Sweeping Strikes.
New Neutral Minion - Kael'thas Sunstrider
I can see Mage using this with Kalecgos. It just seems like a good segue into Big Mage again.

Well that's a card we'll se in BG, guessing 5 star unit tbh.

Could be good when OTKs are back in the Meta.
What Does Stand United Do?
"swap 2 allies"
What does this mean?
New Priest Minion - Dragonmaw Overseer
that's some weird artwork for a Priest card
still a good card, Tempo Priest is taking shape. You can also protect this with the new PW:Shield (if you actually run it)
