Why are some of you guys angry about this? This is for the people that only play BG and doesn't care at all about constructed or arena. At this point I'm sure most of them already have more than 2500 gold.
He was a little awkward the first time out (I forget if that was before after Ben Brode left), but has gotten better each time to the point where he's legitimately hilarious. The nine minute video is easily their best production yet. Everyone involved deserves praise.
I wonder how this interacts with Archmage Vargoth, it should keep the two uses but what would it swap back to? If it swapped back to itself that would be a good meme.
@Wailor: All three of these cards are well designed. It's difficult to say how 'well' any of them would function because Dragon Shaman / Elemurloc / Elemech decks have never truly existed. Personally however, I think Magnetite Shard is the best. Even if the condition is… weird, a 5/1 Divine Shield buff for any Mech is nothing to laugh at. Guardian of the Tides seems powerful, but you're not often in a situation where you want to use your big board of Murlocs to clear the opponent's big board when you could go face.
@Demonxz95: Fun name. The effect isn't bad either, considering it targets ALL Demons. I know the Outcast effect is shiny and new but this could also work as a Start of Game effect for (1) mana more. All in all, a cool split-tribe card with funky art and flavour to boot!
@anchorm4n: If you want to go (7) mana then I think a 4/4 statline is appropriate. Personally, a (6)-cost 3/3 would also be playable, or even a (5)-cost 2/2 if you want to keep it cheap. However, the earlier played, the bigger the potential swing (try the (6)-cost version, see how you feel).
@KANSAS: This effect might as well be a meme considering how many people have mentioned/tried it over the years in custom card design. Someone has already designed a similar one for this comp (theirs buffs as well, but I think it's too wordy). I think you'd be better off trying something more original.
@linkblade91: Reiterating my support for Living Forge. Windfury effects are far and few between and this one is both interesting and not overpowered IMO.
I've reworked the terrible wee warlock slightly...
I've made it Rare (Murlocs for Warlock aren't exactly common), reduced the attack to 1 (it shouldn't be able to value trade and I don't think evil books hit very hard) and have added the stats of the Nightmare Amalgam to the effect text after checking a few other "similar" IRL cards. Was it fine as a 2/2? Anyone viscerally despise seeing a Murloc in a cloak?
I'm confused by all this (besides shocked by the price tag they put on).
They say they include the pass in the 90-pack bundle. They exclude it for the 55-pack bundle. You get the perks by buying 30 packs. So... 55 packs isn't > 30 according to Blizz? Real money doesn't count all of sudden when when you pre-order, except for spending big?
And not pre-ordering and just buying 30 packs for gold (or trough Arena), I get the perks anyway?
To me, this seems vague and arbitrary, and a blatant disrespect to players who can't afford to drop €80 on the same game every 4 months. Even €50 is a LOT of money to be dropping on a pre-order, and then saying "Yeah, the 'small' pre-order isn't enough money for us to give you access to the cool stuff." a giant slap in the face imho.
Better to not open packs right now until the duplicate protection is in place.
Great for rares but especially epics as we all hate that feeling when you need like 10 epics from a set but just get your 3/4/5th of an epic you don't want at all.
They didn't touch on their expansion their paid adventure strategy as far as I know (or I missed it). I'd like to know so I can budget for it.
Dave is seriously the best. I'd love to spend a bunch of time to write an entire article about how amazing he has been in all the Hearthstone videos he takes part in. Would be time well spent.
I assume the rewards are cumulative? That is, if I go from Bronze 10 to Silver 3, I get the rewards for Bronze 5, Silver 10, and Silver 5 (totalling 3 standard Rare cards and one card pack)? That's what I'd assume but it isn't clear to me.
Are the cards golden? Pity if they aren't, I like the golden cards and looked forward to getting a few every month...
I don't see it being too powerful. „Big Minion" Swarm is not really common, especially in Standard. The only Exception to this that comes to my Mind rn is Embiggen-Druid. In this special Case this Card is great, but outside of it, it's probably just alright.
But it's good to see Priest getting a potentially powerfull AoE for their Core Set.
Edit: You can get it from Zephrys the Great, so Highlander Decks will have better Chances against Embiggen-Druids.
This is for people who does not want packs but might want play Battlegrounds and Arena.
Yes pass will reset every expansion, the same as bonuses from packs to BG.
As far I understand this is another way to unlock full BG for season. You can choose, do you like packs (like me who play Wild/Standar) or you dont care about Packs and prefer Arena tickets.
It is fine as it is. I have almost every card around and it doesn't bother me. You will get a bunch of crytals and tokens to spend in the new expac when the time comes.

New Neutral Minion - Teron Gorefiend
Seems weird... Don't think it's meant for Tempo Decks. Like, a boardwide Buff is great, but you'd have to play this Card and then ALSO destroy it.
I think it's better as a Mass-Deathrattle-Activator, kind of like a neutral Feign Death.
