For Blizzard or the players? I consider it as a "test balloon" to check out the interest in class bundles. If we get a Demon Hunter bundle players might buy it even if it's bad value like the mage one.
DH seems to get more cards from Outland than the other classes, probably as compensation. I don't think cards will be added to the old sets, that's just unfair if you're done buying those. Maybe we'll get a class bundle like the Mage bundle recently?
Makes sense. Maybe that's why they were dry running the class specific pack.
Except Mage bundle did not make any sense financiall

I remember, several years ago developers told, that they are not going to add an additional class. I'm quite happy they changed their minds about it.
That's real hype. Not a typical kind of update (new set of cards, HoF update, dungeon type thing), but a new class, hopefully they will not stop on it.

Sounds fair. I'd like to see Inner Fire stay as I think the combo archetype should be a viable option for Priest. Divine Spirit on the other hand could be problematic so if one of those cards are going to HoF it should be DS. As long as you can play other Priest decks than that life-draining resurrect BS...
There is absolutely no way the Divine Spirit - Inner Fire combo survives in standard. Since there is no new common card I guess Inner Fire is sticking around, but I'm sure Power Infusion is the replacement for Divine Spirit.
Not quite, because thew changed Nova to not hit the opposing hero. Besides, the Fireball / Mortal Strike has always shown us not all classes are created equal, and in this case I am happy for Priest AoE to be better than Paladin's. Also, Consecration hasn't been made any worse by this...
Buuut, all those damage dealing spells in the core sets for Paladin stick out like a sore thumb when you realise the class hasn't had a single one in all the years since.
@linkblade: Both are good cards, but I think Forge Elemental is the more interesting and flavorful of the two.
Alright, I'll go with that one for now. I spruced it up a bit with some light editing; giving it a better name for starters:
I would've said the exact opposite than Hordaki :D I guess I'm too scarred and scared of aggro Mech decks, giving Windfury and attack buffs to a tribe that can be sticky and go wide fast could be problematic. Not to mention magnetic buffs. The "Blizzard balancing" of Wildfire Dragon was way more appealing to me. Honestly, since there's not much synergy between the tribes right now, you could easily add +2 Attack or Health or +1/+1 and it would still feel fair to me.
At first you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention Blizzard. So excited for a new class, Following the success of last year in terms of storytelling and Blizzard making actual progress as a company and doing a lot of things right, the priest overhaul was definitely needed and it’s about time too
Otherwise, I wonder what other priest cards vill be HoF:d except Velen (which i recently opened...). Will we still have Inner Fire and Divine Spirit to combo with..? So far I really like the changes like steal prist getting a boost. I also see that Batterhead (for Demon Hunter) and Power Word: Tentacles are being remade...
Happy to see Illidan also, can't wait to see what else is in store for him. Probably my favorite character/class from Wardraft 3. :)
It will see play, but I often raise an eyebrow when I see a 1 drop that needs another minion in play to be useful. In this case, to maximize its potential this cant be a turn 1 play . You'd need another 1 drop or skip the first turn. If your opponent has a 1/2 on turn 1, you get to remove it and develop a 2/1, which can be pinged easily the following turn.
Dont get me wrong, I still think its good. But not as good as most people might think. Considering that Twin Slice does the same but better, and that the hp is only 1 mana, I think there's better 1 drops than this.
Its an exclusive dhunter Waterboy for 1 mana. Its health is probably why this is not going to see much play, in my opinion.
It'll see a lot of play. If you go second it's a 2/1, ping a 1 health minion. If you got first, you can hero power and play this on turn 2 for a 2/1 and to ping 2 health minion
New Expanion Leak and much more
"The first piece of Ashes of Outland will drop Tuesday, March 17". Well, that's today! :D

This is far from crazy. 2/1 for one mana will die to ANY damage and +1 damage to hero will kill only 1 health minions while damaging your hero.
Will DH be a 1 set class?

Except it doesn't hit face… none of the reworked spells do. So it's not exactly better than Consecration.

Exactly, it doesnt make sense, they have to do something with Consecration

My hype meter just hit the roof. Can't wait for april 7!
Will DH be a 1 set class?
And if so, do we have to buy the old packs again?

Just wondering, will DH be a one set class?
Since it will be introduced in the next xpac, will it only have 1 set?
Whereas all the other 9 class will have 4 (3 from year of the dragon, 1 from new xpac).
Or will blizzard retroactively print new cards for the year of the dragon for the DH class?

I hope that Paladin gets a rework too, cuz oh boy. That Holy Nova just killed my heart. It's a straight up better Consecration.
