So as I understand it, we might be able to choose a team to support and vote to “win” maybe. So my question is if we get to vote or something along those lines, who would you choose?
Personally I would choose EVIL, because I feel like they have been working the hardest to get where they are in the story.
As a mainly wild player who joined the game after sets like Nax and GvG were already gone, I'm very happy to see this. Wish it would have come out over a year ago so I could have saved the money I ended up spending to get Nax from the cash shop when it became available.
Too inconsistent, too weak for reward and too awkward. Even big dragon decks would run this as a high-risk high-reward that would mostly hold them back.
Useful makes me think of betrayal first before SC but this is going to be a goodish card since you could remove a threat or taunt without sacrificing any HP
On the first sight, this is an interesting effect. But since the two other cards are still in the opponents deck, it will be hard to gues the correct card. In my opinion, Curious Glimmerroot was way stronger than this card.
extra cards from PvE is a great way to create a mid-expansion meta shake up (and far less volatile than bringing back Wild cards unchecked as has been demonstrated).
For those who fear about the pay2win aspect: This has now been announced and won't arrive until mid January. You can spend all your currently saved up gold on packs, buy a few more to reset the legendary counter, and still have enough time to collect the 2800 gold you need to unlock the adventure for free. I have managed this quite easily for Rise of Shadows. Just because the game's F2P doesn't mean they can't expect you to put in some effort to not pay for cards.
I'm also really excited for the Hero shop updates. Back when they were first released, spending 10 bucks on a portrait that barely changed things was a terrible deal, which is why most people didn't buy (and Blizzard switched to giving out heroes for free or more recently bundling them with card packs). However, since then the quality of these portraits has increased a lot and Sylvanas proves that people would rather spend a minor amount of cash for a cosmetic than spending a huge amount on a technically more efficient bundle (that ends up being pointless because you don't really need that many cards).
I for one am actually considering getting Sylvanas (as long as they don't jack up the price for no reason) and I look forward to see more lore-related heroes for purchase (Vanessa vanCleef or Yrel would be awesome). Even if it's a bit cashgrabby it's better than getting f***ing Annoy-o Trons and BadTouchTreegrannies bundled with a bunch of obsolete expansion packs.
How would it be possible to consider spent mana on something like Conjurer's Calling and Evolve? What happens if I evolve a devolved board? What was the spent mana on the minions I'm transforming? What about tokens, since they come into play for free do they evolve into 1 drops?
Just curious as to whether or not you thought about what you were saying.
Looks eh in a vacuum but it might shine when taken into play the invoke allows for a trade of some kind while the other effect is basically whirlwind with ruin it's gonna be run and the plauges will make it shine a bit aswell
Reminds me of Arcane Dynamo in the sense that it will usually give you specific spells and so there might eventually be something cool to do with this, currently getting extra Sidequests. Much better stats than Dynamo though, but 1-cost spells usually have much smaller impact.
Skyfin
It won't see play in any Murloc Deck. Maybe in a Zoolock that runs a few dragons.
Awaken!
Probably anti synergy for tempo decks (except for surprise Frothing burst), but will probably see play just because warrior Invoke is so strong.
Those small board clears can occasionally be useful in tempo warrior which usually struggles when overwhelmed with smaller minions.
Echo Mechanics Update - SN1P-SN4P, Sound the Bells! and Glinda Crowskin Refunds!
So crafting a golden version of the card wouldn't benefit in any way then right?
Wild Packs Purchasable with Gold Next Week - Hearthstone's New In-Game Shop Info
Great, great updates. Wild definitely needs more accessibility to be more successful as a game mode.
Sylvanas Windrunner is Coming Back to Hearthstone as a Hunter Hero
Until this moment I thought there was no way any other hunters hero portrait could replace rexxar. I have been proven wrong.
Team EVIL or Team LOE
So as I understand it, we might be able to choose a team to support and vote to “win” maybe. So my question is if we get to vote or something along those lines, who would you choose?
Personally I would choose EVIL, because I feel like they have been working the hardest to get where they are in the story.

New Warrior Minion - Sky Raider
Works with the gunship and adds more dudes to your hand for cheap would suck to be pulled with the weapon though but otherwise seems phenomenal
Hearthstone Update - December 5th Patch Notes (Battlegrounds Updates, New Cards in January, the Return of Tyrande and More!)
probably someone forgot to whitelist him from the rest of the set.
Rip Holy Wrath Paladin in the new 5 day meta.
New Neutral Minion - Tasty Flyfish
why blizzard?
why dragons and murlocs?
New Neutral Minion - Utgarde Grapplesniper
Too inconsistent, too weak for reward and too awkward. Even big dragon decks would run this as a high-risk high-reward that would mostly hold them back.
Hearthstone Update - December 5th Patch Notes (Battlegrounds Updates, New Cards in January, the Return of Tyrande and More!)
Tyrande was always free, it's just that the previous process was very inaccessible for a lot of people
New Warrior Spell - Ramming Speed
Useful makes me think of betrayal first before SC but this is going to be a goodish card since you could remove a threat or taunt without sacrificing any HP
New Priest Minion - Envoy of Lazul
On the first sight, this is an interesting effect. But since the two other cards are still in the opponents deck, it will be hard to gues the correct card. In my opinion, Curious Glimmerroot was way stronger than this card.

Thank fuck the Wild packs are coming back. They should have never left.
Lightforged Zealot
With the other no neutral card revealed maybe the archetype could work. It'll have to be a very aggro deck with lots of removal.
New Neutral Minion - Faceless Corruptor
It's interesting for sure. I'm running this in my wild OTK Miracle Shaman, fits perfectly since I usually have Totems lying around.
New Warrior Spell - Ramming Speed
Reminds me of Betrayal. I think it's not strong enough, maybe at 2 mana would be good. At 3, hardly worth it.
Valuable for Arena though.
New Warrior Minion - EVIL Quartermaster
Lovely card lackeys are great and armor is sweet some extra "hp" is always nice and the lackey adds extra value to the stats already on board.
New Neutral Minion - Cobalt Spellkin
Reminds me of Arcane Dynamo in the sense that it will usually give you specific spells and so there might eventually be something cool to do with this, currently getting extra Sidequests. Much better stats than Dynamo though, but 1-cost spells usually have much smaller impact.
New Priest Minion - Fate Weaver
This is a nice support for Galakrond decks. The 3/6 stats are decent for 4 mana, and the cost reduction is a strong effect.
New Shaman Minion - Squallhunter
Beautiful card, and a very strong one too. Amazing with Thunderhead. Important dragon enabler, synergy with broken breath card. Really like it! :)
