I really liked the idea of the "Year of the Phoenix" someone came up with last week - standing for renewal and rebirth and a great HS overhaul. I won't get my hopes too high, though. I think something will be announced today or on thursday.
Dragons in battlegrounds. So... I had been excited for this, but then a few weeks back, I looked at all the dragons available. Unless they print some BG specific dragons, it's going to be difficult to make the existing tribe effective in BG's (I'm taking into account that Blizz will nerf Demons soon, at least they better because BG's are unplayable right now)
So many dragons have powerful battlecries that won't help in BG's, or require holding a dragon. Are we really going to have to hold onto a dragon the whole game just to get the most out of this tribe? I'm interested to see what Blizzard came up with to bring them into the mix and hopefully be a viable strategy.
Here's the dragons I can find that would be playable/not worthless in BG's. Some of these may be too good, but I'll put them here for discussion purposes.
I got this card when the set released.. i tried to make it work in all kinds of decks. In the end resurrect priest came on the scene to make it relevant, and now it is probably hated by most.. but i enjoyed the experiments with each new set.
I was actually expecting the first week of March to be the announcement time. But I don't remember if they do a "Year of the X" announcement and THEN the expansion announcement later?! Regardless, if it's not this week, next week for sure we should hear something.
But remember, they also had a summit with various HS pros and streamers in attendance lately, getting people like Frodan on the hype train for how BIG the upcoming news and changes to HS were going to be. So if they are planning some grand announcement involving way more than an expansion and year name, it could also come a little later than normal.
Zilly my partner in crime u will be missed. either i was running combo control or aggro the card of perfection was always ready to be played. It shouldnt have magnetic tho.
How you play around a 7/6 elusive on turn 3? Or a 6/6 fiora? Landing stand alone on a key unit on turn 3 is normally game over. Unless you specifically have purify or will of Ionia.
A friend of mine and me are trying to defeat Galakrond Heroic with only standard cards - we usualy only play standard and therefor we want to defeat Galakrond without any Wild cards - or at least without Wild Legendarys or Epics!
Any suggestions - so far we've tried different builds of Rezz Priest, Highlander Mage, Control Mage, Control Priest, Highlander Paladin, Highlander Rogue. Also tested some Zoolocks and aggro Decks but Control seems to be the best shot.
Freeze Mage was the best so far, but without some wild cards like Ice Block it is realy hard :)
That's a seriously good question, and a hard one too. The first few wings I managed with mostly Standard-ladder-ready lists, but when things became harder, I was naturally going to make the most of my extended wild collection ... I know some said that they Milled the last bosses to death, but I now wonder if it can be achieved with standard cards only ... I will have to look into it, as without insane late game value and early means to survive till the later stages, it's going to be an extra challenge to defeat Galakrond. Control would also definitely be my top pick

Sleepy Dragon
Bone Drake
Drakonid Slayer
Razorgore
Scaled Nightmare
Cobalt Scalebane
Dragonkin Spellcaster
Scalelord
Everything else seems unplayable in BG's to me, and even some of these are questionable.

Cant see how dragons will work without a lot of unique ones added. "If you're holding a dragon" just doesn't seem like it would fit.
no Champion in lvl 10 Vault?
Ah i thought i was mistaken
Ok i confused that then. I always had a champ so far and in my first lvl 14 vault it was even two.
Thx for clarification
no Champion in lvl 10 Vault?
No guaranteed champs at any level, although sometimes you get lucky.
L10+ give Expedition tokens. A completed expedition (both trials) guarantees at least 1 random champion.
no Champion in lvl 10 Vault?
I may be mistaken but i thought in a rank 10 Vault is at least one champion isnt it?
i just opend mine and i didnt get a single epic or legendary.
is tihs normal and i was just mistaken or shall i enter a ticket?
thanks

The card that actually made me play Warrior a bit. I'd imagine it will divide opinions but I'll miss him.

Year of Elementals.
No offense but, I'm thinking more of Blizzard this year, so sarcasm intended.
how 'bout Year of *sighs* - Blizzard full of disappointments this year.

Damn I should have checked this thread before submitting my card, it has a common card mark because I didn't know how to do that.
One Man's Treasure - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread
Probably not. I feel like is could be printed as a collectible card and it wouldn't be unbalanced.
As someone who loves deck manipulation though, I love the design.
One other thing I will mentions: Pristine Compass. Not sure how much the "used art" criticism applies here compared to collectible cards.

To add a watermark to a card without a rarity, click this button.
Then scroll down to "Custom".
That will open this menu:
Click "Force Apply Emblem (for basic cards)" to force your most recently chosen watermark onto the card.

Alright, so I think I got it:
You will need Knife Juggler with Radiant Elemental along with Test Subject, Embalming Ritual & Holy Smite ; from there, you will be able to deal infinite damage to your subject while juggler ping for free!
... oh wait, Radiant Elemental is Un'Goro tho ...

I would assume so--usually if it keeps buffs, it has the keyword 'exact' a la Spectral Matron and Silverwing Vanguard--but try it out. :-P
