One of the signs that your design is bad is that you have to absolutely destroy other cards that, alongside 99% of the card base, present no problem to preserve the problematic card.

Shadowstep was specifically built in a world where the Battlecries of today and the Rush keyword would have been rejected or toned down due to power level. Cheap bounce is out of place and limits the crap out of design space.

Yes I think this list is good

Have you seen MartianBuu's version, friend? His uses some more early minions like Armor Vendor, Mistress of Mixtures and less tutor cards like Curator and Taelan. The late game is similar, just no Onyxia. I played some games but missed the card draw.

Do you think this version here has potential?

Nice to know I will get a free legendary. I got Signature Grand Magister Rommath when opening packs and I have the paid rewards track.

You can go face with the +2 spell damage minion if you have certain boards. For example, if you use Unleash Fel to clear the opponent's board, then the Fel card hit the lowest health enemy twice for two damage instead would do 8 face damage in that situation.

In a Clue-related PSA, the blank icon between Runeterra and MTG is evidently Marvel Snap (only stumbled on that by accidently finding the answer).

Love build around me cards so I crafted this. Since I have Jace but don't have Artificer Xy'mox, I had to find other things to put in. I choose the new +2 spell damage but can't go face card and which is fantastic with Unleash Fel. The second I choose was Azshara. Great for duplicating spells for Jace or pulling out a surprise colossal.

It's a fun puzzle and a unique take on a "no minions" deck.

I've been playing nothing but Galactus decks ever since his release (as a collectible card). I'm definetely grabbing this one as soon as possible.

Future signature cards will apparently also be animated.

Yes, they will have golden-style animations.

Im not really a fan of removing brann until next year, but I concede its the most efficient way to correct a good deal of wrongs. Although it wont address some core fundamental issues, and it does make the game slightly less enjoyable because when brann is used for something other than scamming wins, he's very well darn fun.

That said the impact is likely to be limited to a few classes, namely druid. Because it is only because of brann that druid has a win con that cannot reliably be interacted with. Couple that with insane ramp, card draw, and 40 health the deck can never lose the late game, only vulnerable within the first 5 turns. Removing brann means druid has to fight for board, and likely turn to Kazakusan or The Jailer. Both of which are nowhere near the levels afforded by Sire Denathrius and now Astalor Bloodsworn

The only other deck that will suffer would be blood DK, who needs both alexandros and patchwerk to win any games, both of which rely on brann in those greed matchups. But you can conceivably just play zola in brann's spot anyway.

Likely team5 wouldn't do anything to brann until rotation, which is coming in 4 months time. In my opinion there are more cards that deserves more attention, like Sinstone Graveyard, jerry rig into nourish, blood DK cards, etc.

Shadowstep is the reason they decided to nerf Pandaren Importer

Location is also problematic of course, but Shadowstep was evil since long time ago... I am complaining about it for more than 4 years already and was advocating for it to be HoFed since 2019

The hunt has begun !
Best of luck to everyone

Please, do it! U cant tweet something like that and not ban him, ban him now, please 

I don't think Shadowstep is that much of a problem. Having Sinstone Graveyard as a 2-mana card when it has the potential to scale infinitely probably is.

As much as I like what Brann has done for several sclasses in the last two expansions, at this point it's very obvious that he just keeps taking cards that aren't problematic by themselves and turns them into low interaction game enders. I think the game as a whole benefits from him rotating out of Core a bit earlier.

That being said, there are a few decks that'll probably just die without Brann. Relic DH would be one of them, although it at least has the replacement of Spell DH to fall back on. Meanwhile Curse-Implock is probably going to drop off hard without Brann. Those lategame curse combos are important for your winrate.

Druid probably also falls off now that Astalor isn't a wincon by himself anymore, but at this point I'm tired of Druid doing the same exact bullshit for 3 expansions straight and not having to innovate once, so good riddance (although I would have liked to see Quest Druid popping off at least once)

Then there's all the Renathal control decks that use School Teacher and other discovery effects. Very curious about how the meta will shape up after this considering Brann is present in about 90% of them.

Who knows? Sadly, we really should not be surprised any more considering the amount and variety of bugs they keep introducing with each and every big patch.

Best to (ab)use this (unintended) basic rule change to our advantage as long as it possible. Since this bug does not hurt them in their wallet, it is not likely to get patched as fast as the pack openings issue fiasco on launch day, but I do expect them to fix it eventually though.

I saw that thread as well! But I really don't understand what they did to mess up such a basic rule for achievements' completion.

Brann Bronzebeard is such fun card, but with today's Battlecries it's just a bit too much for Standard.

I don't get the downvotes: you're more than right

I think main brann abuser is druid with guff and now anubrekan. I think they should just ban some netral cards for some classes.
