Thunderstruck!

You don't mean winter ?

"the winter is Coming "

The Darkness getting reprinted in the next expansion obviously.

Let the hype begin...again

Strange but "a storm is coming" associated with gwent for me...

Keep on nurturing this site Flux, it's your baby and, my oh my, it has grown up to be AWESOME!

Further evidence that this is a bug (or inconsistent at the very least): Other units with Quick Attack and the attack token do not survive Single Combat.

Does Katarina recall after Single Combat if you do NOT have the attack token? This is not something that would naturally get tested if the player assumes she would die.

If she does recall, it sounds like there's a mixup in checking for death from damage caused by this spell vs. Katarina's recall. It makes sense that the Ephemeral check should come after the recall check, but death from damage should surely come before any of that.

Yeah I like that idea!

Although, A hero with the power to kill his own minion, idk that doesn't sound very Sylvanas like. Maybe it'd be more fitting for a new hero, perhaps a Dinosaur from Ungoro? King Krush? :)

That's what I feared... While it's a cool idea, this would be very awkward in actual play in said situation. Maybe going Shadowmourne would have been safer.

i get why you prefer Shadowmourne considering it can still hit the target. And this card might not see some playability if it was printed. But i wanted to do somthing that wasn't like Cave Hydra or Magnataur Alpha where it attacks a minion and and deals damage to the adjacent minions i just wanted to do somthing  unique .Meanwhile my other designs would either be to op or too confusing

After the review I received about Shirvallah's Chosen not being the best, I've decided to rework it into a Warrior minion that is perhaps more functional.

What do you all think? My main concern is the wording as I wanted it to make sense if it was played opposite two minions. My secondary concern is that this is perhaps underpowered. IMO the 6-cost 5/5 statline is standard for the effect, but perhaps it should have 6 health to target those chunkier minions.

Don't the classic Cardbacks always float around in the promo materials and key artwork ?

Pros already saw the HoF rotation, it's very unlikely that they are going to rework the classic set

Yes. But maybe the HOF rotation IS the classic set.

So let me get this straight, you're looking for ideas from other people for you to steal and say its your game?

no ill give the person the credit for the ideah i just wanted to spice up the forums a bit 

besides thats plagerism

Blizzard: A storm is coming. March 17th.

... (players making crazy speculations about new expansion)...

March 17th, Blizzard: The second of the 18 reverted nerfs will be announced today!!!

Nice.

Alpha Wildclaw

Darius

HUH...?

Freljord is not often paired in an aggro list (that's why this "powercreep" is ok) but generally speaking this card is quite potent when it compares favorably to a none level up champion..(or maybe Darius is too weak?).

I tried many decks like yeties or poros but couldn't make them go off really.. the only deck that I liked that uses the region is the warmother's call control deck it's very powerful and I like the tools it has.

Is Ashe weak? I saw many lists running her successfully I actually like the list featured seems like it can protect her well.. thought about a Fiora/frostbite deck actually, but I don't have any copy of Ashe ORFiora so I can't test that deck yet.

Congrats! Any tips for fellow budget players trying to reach legend (wild or standard)?

There's a fair few guides on legend in general - e.g.:

https://hearthstone-decks.net/legend-in-hearthstone/

Also a number of streamers play ultra cheap budget decks that are legend viable.  Oldguardian is my favourite.

If all of these speculations and leaks are correct than this will be an awesome year.

I am getting very antsy for an official announcement from Blizzard.

• This last rule is very interesting, but I'm not convinced it's a good idea. Basically this rule says that the "Champion Spell" as a standalone card is special, and must be paired with the champion. I think the ultimate result of such a change would be increased play rates for Champions whose spells are very much a "win more" for them (e.g. Ezreal's Mystic Shot), which in turn would result in play rates dropping for other Champions who don't (e.g. Katarina's Death Lotus, which really helps other Champions/Archetypes more than her). To your point about Relentless Pursuit, I expect that rather than reduce the frequency of seeing it in play, it would just mean more decks that want to run it would run Lucian. Ultimately this would make the game less interesting by forcing Champion choices based on these spells and not on the Champions themselves.

 

It was a flavour related suggestion at first tbh. and then i figured that might help for some other broken interactions with Relentless Pursuit and random Shadowshifts/Prismatic Barriers from Karma while you don't have any Lux or Zed in your deck. It is really weird to see a Living Shadow without a Zed in the deck tbh. You feel like; "There is no Zed, whose Living Shadow is this !? It looks like Zed Already !?" or "well well, those laurents learns to use the way of the light, really !? Where is this Prismatic Barrier coming from without a Lux !?"

I mean, Fiora and Laurents should use her own barrier, If you want to recall Karma without a Zed, You should use Recall. You want pinging your minions ? go for Blood for Blood or Transfusion with Vladimir instead of Death Lotus.

Contrarily to you, I really think that this opens more deckbuilding opportunities rather than limiting it. If you want to use Death Lotus in your Vladimir deck, You should try a Katarina/Vladimir deck instead of throwing 2x Death Lotus without a Katarina in your deck for example.

This feels and seems openning more opportunities for deckbuilding for me. Also seems more logical for that The singature spells are cast by those champions.

 

It actually closes deckbuilding cause nothing restricts you from currently running kata/vladimir.

It would make many builds really weird "I run this card that doesn't fit my deck at all, or is sub optimal t run another card that is too good to not run in my deck"

PLus champions are expensive, sure the game economy is kind but once the game gets bigger you make people who crafted certain spells or got it randomly HAVE to waste 3000 shards or champion wild cards into trying a card.. that's bad.

The current state of the game where a lot of deck building is rewarded and you have a lot of options will be lost when you restrict currently 24 spells into having to run a specific champion. I don't see the win in this change and also I think the chances of such chance are just 0, Riot won't do that, they got more to lose of that than to win, it will confuse the hell out of new players who make decks and will make some deck building clunky.

having inherent restrictions is much worse than say a Reno Jackson or elnuks where you get to choose HOW you will use the restriction, having system locked restrictions is bad design see: Baku the Mooneater and Genn Greymane.

Where with higlander cards in hearthstone you have a restriction to play the card while in game so you can play around it (for example galakround warlock running dragonqueen alexstraza with MANY duplicates in the deck)

Not a bad card back for the start of the year.

I always play my best whenever I see someone with this cardback, which has been around 5 times.

I like it, this was always my first pre-order card back.

Pros already saw the HoF rotation, it's very unlikely that they are going to rework the classic set

I will always appreciate animated card backs like this.  

Your lack of collection manager discussion is hyping me up! There's been a lot of hints, but finally, finally, changes to Classic and Basic!
