This still leaves me feeling that the cards that are being reverted are ones that only had any real impact on the standard format while either seeing little to no play in wild even pre-nerf status.

So in other words I fear the changes will be to cards that were uninteresting in wild to begin with.

It looks funny, yes, but we have been getting soooo little information this month that I would not blame Flux.

Even friggin new Hearthstone Year announcement is late if you look at previous years (it always appeared around 28. February or so)... so yeah.

I suppose we can expect everything from the nerf-reverts, new expansions, reveal schedule, what was discussed in the summit etc. will all be mashed into one announcement then released en-masse to the public.

Why, just why?

To me that card was deplorable, I was so glad to see it nerfed both times.

I always assumed the guy in the middle was some Draenei who looked bedraggled because of imprisonment or something. According to the wiki they are Alliance and Horde prisoners being driven mad by mining the blood of Yogg-Saron.

Quote From DoubleSummon

The moment katarina strikes an unit she levels up and recalls, on defense the full trade is made(if she survives she recalls), on offense only katarina attacks as long as her attack is higher than 0.

The ephemeral interaction is intended I saw on reddit a Rioter clarifying that ephemeral does not trigger cause katarina triggers "on strike" and ephemeral check is made after the strike is made.

BTW Run hecarim on the first list as well the card is broken and you don't need any synergy to run him (that's the problem with the card so -2 crocolisks +2 hecarims.

but nice idea with the undying and hecarims + rally (it's already been done with demacia).

You see you don't need to buff katarina? she is fine as she is.. it's not hearthstone some cards can get supported enough to function with worse than ideal stats (one good example for that is Rivershaper).

Well, I've already said in that Patch expectations thread that my concern was about my passion about Katarina. :)

I know how she works, more than people around because half of my time with this game passed with Katarina but hey, Who doesn't want the card he played become more effective ? :)

For Hecarim + The Undying, For my experiences, They don't work together. I mean, You always waste your resources for more than you use while they are together. You can only attack with 6 units in the game as you know and The Undyings already fills that spot. You need more blockers than attacker tokens of Hecarim so that's just greed in my opinion. Hecarim's best build is probably with The Harrowing and The Harrowing doesn't work well with The Undyings.

I don't think you still don't know about Whirling Death/Single Combat - Katarina interactions but for new players and players who doesn't know these interactions yet, you can level-up Katarina with those combat tricks as well.

 

Does she need to "survive" the single combat, or can you cast it against anything?

I've thought first she needs to survive and played around it always but tried it while i have the attack token (while her Quick attack is active), she turned back to my hand even tho she didn't survive. I'm not so sure that was a bug or intended tho.

Have you tried Rush in the Ionia/Noxus version?

Not with Rush, but tried with Legion Drummer. Works well but Overwhelm is always better for Shiraza the Blade

omg this is hilarious.

Always appreciate fun decks like this! Thanks SwaguarTV

Not sure I'll have time to participate this week as I am traveling for work. Best of luck to everyone and I'll try to find time to vote on everyone's entries.

This is not at all relevant to the game, but I was looking at Saronite Chain Gangs art and I noticed that he has hoofs, blue skin, weird scale things on the top of his head, some little tentacles coming out of his face, and a tail. What on earth is this guy?

I don't think this is the mode for me.  Even my best efforts, taking your advice, I went 0-2 to complete bullshit that had every turn perfect draws.

There was also the nerf to Giggling Inventor, which wasn't strictly a Caverns nerf but did happen around the time that deck was making a resurgence.

I was kinda hoping caverns would go back 1 nerf but ah well.  I refresh the outofcards hope page many times during the day to see if there have been an announcement. Its driving me crazy!

I agree with most of your points, but I feel that with Pharaoh Cat, there is quite a difference between getting Generous Mummy versus Winged Guardian.

Edit: Also, which cards Galakrond buffs for Warrior or discounts for Rogue can matter quite a bit. But as several cards are drawn, you'll see average results a lot more than super good or super bad results.

Tomorrow do we learn that Chillwind Yeti will remain unchanged too?  Team 5 turning into a snoozefest...

Have you tried Rush in the Ionia/Noxus version?

I'm pretty sure by now they'll talk about Changes when they also announce the next Year/Xpac. Maybe there'll be a Video or so on Thursday. 

At this point we deserve at least an unnerf reveal schedule...

I'm fully convinced we were meant to have some sort of announcement earlier in the month that got cancelled (for an unknown reason).

They're trickling out little bits of information through odd sources, or at odd times. The announcement of Sludge Slurper's unnerfing was on the official Hearthstone Twitter far off from any usual announcement time - I don't think it was even on an hour. The initial information that we'd be seeing any cards unnerfed at all; this information about The Caverns Below; the Battlegrounds data we've been receiving; it all comes from Dean's personal Twitter account, seemingly at random.

Unfortunately that means we have these sporadic little hints at a larger announcement that tease us and can't really be followed up on, because they have that larger announcement planned.
