When you suceed, your victory will be short lived once realized you can't block anymore

Assume Second Slice is another 0 mana: Give your hero +1 attack this turn? So a more versatile, and even more Auctioneer-friendly Pounce. Seems very decent.

Quote From dapperdog

I thought dhunters was supposed to be weak to draw.

They specifically said that one of demon hunter's strengths is card draw.  Their weakness is card generation.  No discover effects, no thoughtsteals, stuff like that.

Rekindler Garen is currently a S tier deck variation born from the Fiora Barrier deck.

Its going to stay top tier until:
1- Rekindler gets nerfed; OR
2- A better variation arises; OR
3- A big change in meta due to buffs delivered to other cards.

And an other crazy good 1 drop ...
History repeat itself

Its still a silence, with a possible card draw for 1.

I'd play it, maybe as a one-off. If dhunters cant clear big minions, then staple early big minions like Edwin VanCleef gonna go to town without this card.

A new class in hearthstone and priest is potentially usable?! It really is the end of the world huh.

Joking about a new class addition or Priest rehaul? They wouldn't go as far as pulling such a deceptive move on the community. Like MurlocAggroB said, April fool's are more obvious and inconsequential, see Fluxxflashor avatar as alternate art for Deathwing as example. Teasing us with something we actually wanted for a while would be a bad PR.

Listen, this was a big oopsie on Polygon's part.  A lot of people are mad at Flux like he wrote some hit piece on Polygon or that somehow he's to blame for their mistake.  OutofCards had no NDA since they weren't at the HS summit, so this leak was fair game.  I'd actually argue that it would be lazy for the site not to report on this as it's pretty massive news for Hearthstone.  Plus, any news that isn't associated with coronavirus is welcome at the moment.  Hopefully that's something we can all agree on.  Exciting stuff in the leak and keep up the good reporting!

That countdown for the announcement on the main page 

We're too far away from April Fools Day, and the actual content will be announced tomorrow anyway. Besides, none of the cards are funny AND all the art looks official.

An April Fools joke would be a Bard class or something. Or 4 mana 7/7s for every class. Something injokey that nobody would actually want.

It could be a leak of an aprils fool article...

Maybe they'll HOF sac pact.

Salty Dog is actually one of the better hits off Firelands Portal, since most 5 mana minions have some sort of Battlecry.

Quote From DoubleSummon

and this class is gonna need to heal a lot or have tempo to justify using such cards.

I think this is intended to be the main weakness of the class. Its supposed to clear minions with face, so do it too often and get yourself killed.

Maybe that's how team5 justify this. At this point in the game you either already won, or you've lost the game from low health.

Its an interesting card for control though.

Quote From Hordaki

@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:

As for your cards, I like the Bronze Mechadrake more. I was thinking of using that Curator image myself, but it doesn't fit the beasts in the image-slot very well and the card overall feels forced to me. Bronze Mechadrake on the other hand fuses Dragon Paladin with Mech Paladin to make an appealing late-game minion. Hopefully people see that it's different enough from Sleepy Dragon to warrant existing.

It's a Firelands Portal that always gives you a Salty Dog though. Given that Firelands Portal isn't all that overpowered, a consistently bad version for cheaper isn't game-breaking.

HOF

Yes

I know right? Fucking assholes.

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

Pretty strong on paper, but without self damaging tools it doesn't seem that great.

Why is it a demon though? None of the other Illidari have a demon tag

It isn't self-damage, it's attack based. "After this minion is attacked". That certainly makes it worse, but it's an interesting new mechanic at least.

Also, I already replied this on the article comments but I'll restate it in a more visible spot. She's a Demon because she's in Metamorphosis, which is a DH ability that turns the user into a demon temporarily. There's a separate version for each spec - Havoc has it as a DPS stim and grows wings while using it. Vengeance has it as a survivability tool and grows spikes. This is a Vengeance DH using Metamorphosis.

Damn, really angry with Polygon right now.

This card is essentially a 6 mana Firelands Portal, since the Hero Power costs 1 and deals 1 damage.

More to your point, the hero power synergizes very well with Hench-Clan Thug. Also, the demon hunters themselves have a wide arrange of very powerful tempo odd-costed cards.

Will Velen be moved to HoF?
