I don't understand how giving your opponent renos hero power is better than having it yourself. A random spell cast on random targets is still a random spell regardless of where it came from.
It's mainly to remove their hero power if it's really good. Like say Frost Lich Jaina.
You want to summon big minions with druid sidequest so putting these small ones is contraproductive
I was afraid of that when creating the deck, but it turns out that if you have 4 minions, of which you'll typically catch one in your opening hand, in a minion-rich deck, the chances of summoning a small minion are pretty low. And if you do summon one after playing Embiggen, you get a yeti in stats, which isn't bad for a 1-mana investment.
Its a win more card to me. It doesnt help against its bad matchups, but if it gets out against a slower deck like highlander mage there's very little they can do aside from playing reno to get rid of it.
However, if it ends up in your hand before Zerek's Cloning Gallery is played, I fear it may be a bit difficult to find a whole turn to put it in play without suffering consequences. The first thing that came into mind after thinking this was adding Blatant Decoy to the deck, but then it would even be worse...
True, but since she's coming out later she shares a spot with Thresh.
At 3 mana and 2/4 the bonded is a 'flavor' mechanic. It's more important before she levels but is not as detrimental when she levels.
Also the bonded does NOT come back when it dies in either form. That's why she has the means to reforge bonds. If she dies, and revives, the bond remains. And more importantly the bonded gains a +1/+0 for her doing so. If the bonded dies first in a 5 death train, she gains +5/+0 after her level up.
Or until she dies and revives. Then she's back to 2/4 again.
You can use her first in a death train. She'd die, the bonded gains the +1/+0 for it. The next 4 gives both of them +1/+0. If the bonded lives, she gains the +4/+0 and the bonded gets +5/+0. If this was a defense round and nothing else happens. You can open attack with a 6/4 kalista and a +5/+0 bonded. That is burst and nasty.
It also can be stopped. Frostbite ensures she doesn't strike. Cutthroat can kill her outright. Vengeance, dravens ult (can't remember what the spell is called), quick attack, double mystic shot, thermo beam, etc. All still can kill her so she can be removed. There's endless ways to remove her like every other champion.
Adding her at 4 mana though puts her behind a bit and also overlaps other champions who are later. Now at 3, you could bond to an elise initially. At turn 4 you can block/attack with her. If she lives she has the revive remaining. Ancient Crocalith her and elise. Now you have a 7/7 croc and 2/4 kalista. Bonded to the croc (since both dies and she revives, the one ally bond is broken so she reverts to the summon portion).
That is the low roll, but since you're keeping those cards in the mulligan, there are usually 3 of them in the deck from a pool of 17 minions, so less than 20% chance to pull one of them. And after one Embiggen they're actually not that bad to pull. All in all, it wasn't a problem in the games I played.
I like your innovative riddles! I just don't have the time to think it through thoroughly.
That said, Rat Pack seems an obvious candidate for B. EVIL Cable Rat might be C, but it misses the 3... So I go for Hunter's Pack. If that's true, "unnatural" means we're looking for a spell... couldn't find something fitting for now.
I'm sure A or B is a hunter card. "Pack" might mean beasts. The green card that isn't hunter might be a common card, since they are displayed with green text in the forum or there's literally something green in the art.
Sorry for the stream of consciousness style of guessing. I go for Rat Pack and Hunter's Pack. Maybe you could tell us what I got right?
If she keeps the bond mechanic, I'd really like to see her mana cost change too--e.g., 4 mana for 3/5 stats. One of the big problems with using her in practice right now is that you need the bondmate on the board, and even the best targets at 2- mana (i.e., the turns before you can play Kalista on curve) are fairly low impact: Elise, Lucian, Sentry, and Omen Hawk are probably the best I can think of. At 3 mana, you open up a lot of possibilities: Skitterer, Shadow Assassin, Undying, Used Cask Salesman, Braum, Ezreal, and Draven just to name a few.
That unexpected Pokemon Go news are great! Gonna be opening some Meltan Boxes for people in the building.. Here I am praying my Door Salesman job doesnt make me work this Monday... Knocking on so many doors every day is just pottentialy dangerous in the long run. At least we are taking some measures about it.
(If anyone knows how to tell I wish I dont have to work on monday after saying what I do, I would be gratefull as I am not Native and already thought about it a whole lot)
Also, really like the Brawl Idea. I am always able to create a Gathering but it would be much better with a wizbang brawl
It's mainly to remove their hero power if it's really good. Like say Frost Lich Jaina.

Hearthstone is Getting a New Art Book Dedicated to the Year of the Mammoth
You are not helping! ;)
Dear Blizzard, Please Reconsider Fireside Gatherings for the Upcoming Expansion Launch
Dear Blizz, your fan base is anyway socially awkward when not completely feral or anti-social ...
Please reconsider ^^

I mean yes, but mostly why would you ...
... its too late now
Hearthstone is Getting a New Art Book Dedicated to the Year of the Mammoth
I'm a sucker for books - hard covers, fine prints, artworks compilation, you name it! - am I to add an other one to my shelf?
Sidequest decks
I was afraid of that when creating the deck, but it turns out that if you have 4 minions, of which you'll typically catch one in your opening hand, in a minion-rich deck, the chances of summoning a small minion are pretty low. And if you do summon one after playing Embiggen, you get a yeti in stats, which isn't bad for a 1-mana investment.
Embiggen Sidequest Druid
Reading is such a hard skill to master ;)
Thanks; I'll update the guide.
Edit: So if you Embiggen twice and then play Frizz, would Ysera cost 8? Or does it not stack in that way?

Elise Starseeker's r34, of course.

Colossus of the Moon is a really interesting addition to Res Priest.

Embiggen Sidequest Druid
"If you play Embiggen twice before you draw Alexstrasza or Ysera, they will become unplayable at 11 mana."
Turns out Embiggen is more powerful than you think: "Give all minions in your deck +2/+2. They cost (1) more (up to 10)."
Anyone have any good ideas for a competitive Corina Veraza deck!?
Here it is buddy, i am actually surprised it turned out WAY better then expected. Corina wins games by herself.

Historically they've always invited different streamers for the first and last reveal streams.
I'm just glad Kibler is back; I think this is the first time Blizzard asked him for their streams since they banned Blitzchung.
