HANDO POWER! with the legendary, this is going to enable you to get a big demon from the summoner and it could help draw galakrond if you don't have the legendary that fetches him also works with the quest.
This battlecry will be pure gold or a bunch of imps I don't really like it since its too random heck in wild you could roll a Kabal guy and kill yourself I can't say this is too good but it isn't awful either
First Junkbot leaves Tier 4, now AFKay can't even get a card from Tier 4? Double-tap to the knees! I will miss you, Cobalt Guardian + Security Rover combos.
So the upcoming solo content is AN ACTUAL ADVENTURE? Man i have kinda missed these, glad to see that one is coming back. Excited already for those new cards. Though on the other side, those cards will only be available if you purchase & play/beat the adventure with real money or gold, but hey at least no relying on pack RNG to get those cards.
Sylvanas is looking really good as a hero card, glas to see she's coming back as a limited time offer and not as some promotion thing. (Promotional thing as like, "buy WOW shadowlands and get HS hero Sylvanas." Kind of thing. Also really excited for Tyrande being FREE. This is an AWESOME gift from Blizzard! Finally no more playing boring Anduin.
Those Echo nerfs are really good. Haven't faced those kinda decks so far while playing wild, but glad to know that i will never see them.
The battleground chances look really good. Rafaam's hero power looks nuts. Strong effect for only 1 gold. Sylvanas & Edwin looks AMAZING too. Sylvanas looks really good when buying buff minions ("Battlecry: Give a minion....."). Most of the times you want +2/+2 of stats rather then getting 1 gold back by selling a buff minion. Edwin is insane in the same style of deck. Just buy 2 or 3 buffs. 3 in the best case, and give a minion +3/+3 for 1 gold. I'm just going to predict that Edwin will be nerfed pretty quickly, as it's effect is so easy to get and so strong. My way too early nerf prediction will be a cost increase to 2 gold. Calling it now!
Zephrys chances are nice! i always appreciate when they improve his AI. BUT now he can actually give you King Krush. This definatly makes being on 8 health a lot more scary when facing highlander decks! I like this change!
The Shirvalla change is pretty mayor if you ask me. Looks like counterspelling a big paladin spell won't set them back as much anymore... i don't know if i like or hate this change.
Edit: Wild packs are coming back with gold.... FINALLY I WANTED TO BUY THOSE PACKS WITH GOLD FOR SO LONG. Did eventually buy a few old gods packs with real money....(Really wanted the "free" C'Thun okay) but now i can buy those with gold!?! AWESOME now i can expand my wild collection a lot! And this might make it so more players actually play wild format! I only see positive things coming from this change!
And new players can get the free solo-modes like Frozen Throne & Dungeon Run! (Frozen throne is probably the best one for new players, because of the free deathknight hero card after beating the first chapter, and then Dungeon run really helps them understand the game a lot more! It helped me improve at least after coming back after i quit during NAXX)
I don't think this is all that good for Sniplock. Now, I ain't no pro, but i think it's too expensive for the deck. The only way to fight the boards is with a big boardclear so the Stealth becomes irrelevant. Maybe as a one off.
In standard probably not good enough. Sometimes it will give you a win and feel great, other 2 times it will be a 6/6 for 6.
Tunnel Trogg except they know what balance is now. It works with the cheap overloads we've seen and it looks like they're giving more cards to the overload arch which is neat works with snake lady too
New Warlock Minion - Veiled Worshipper
HANDO POWER! with the legendary, this is going to enable you to get a big demon from the summoner and it could help draw galakrond if you don't have the legendary that fetches him also works with the quest.
New Warrior Minion - Skybarge
Why TF did they think that releasing a different body Ship's Cannon would be a good idea?
New Neutral Minion - Depth Charge
Turn 1: Good
Turn 2-45: Worse than Doomsayer
Not worth it imo.
New Warrior Spell - Ramming Speed
I personally think that Betrayal is better than this, it even costs 1 mana less.
New Warlock Hero - Galakrond, the Wretched
This battlecry will be pure gold or a bunch of imps I don't really like it since its too random heck in wild you could roll a Kabal guy and kill yourself I can't say this is too good but it isn't awful either
New Warlock Spell - Rain of Fire
Not very good by itself, but could gain value with spell power.
Hearthstone Update - December 5th Patch Notes (Battlegrounds Updates, New Cards in January, the Return of Tyrande and More!)
I think they learned from the past and cards will be available to craft from dust, or maybe even added to the set like SnipSnap.
New Priest Spell - Whispers of EVIL
This card is not worth a slot in your deck. You can't even discover the lackey!
New Priest Minion - Disciple of Galakrond
Just a 1/2, still much more fair than other Invoke cards.
December Battlegrounds Update - New Heroes, Hero Rotation, New Minions, Balance Changes, Stats V1
Yep, just updated that now!
New Priest Spell - Grave Rune
Seems like the infamous big priest got another weapon. Hooray.
Sylvanas Windrunner is Coming Back to Hearthstone as a Hunter Hero
I just want Sylvanas to have a neat opening one liner between her and Alleria.
but hey, I doubt we'll get it.
Hearthstone Update - December 5th Patch Notes (Battlegrounds Updates, New Cards in January, the Return of Tyrande and More!)
so that means they have plans to add more heroes in the future? for sale?
yes, FINALLY, now going all in Murlocs can be viable.
bah, he was fine, he was too fair for battlegrounds
They seem fun.
I never played the cancer echo decks anyway, but I'm glad they've addressed the issue
December Battlegrounds Update - New Heroes, Hero Rotation, New Minions, Balance Changes, Stats V1
First Junkbot leaves Tier 4, now AFKay can't even get a card from Tier 4? Double-tap to the knees! I will miss you, Cobalt Guardian + Security Rover combos.
December Battlegrounds Update - New Heroes, Hero Rotation, New Minions, Balance Changes, Stats V1
One correction, Millificent Manastorm was nerfed wasn't she?
New Neutral Minion - Twin Tyrant
Lord of the Arena, literally. Could still be good with mana cheating (Pocket Galaxy/Highlander mage), or with repeating the Battlecry.
Share Your Battleground Stats!
Hearthstone Update - December 5th Patch Notes (Battlegrounds Updates, New Cards in January, the Return of Tyrande and More!)
Wild turns from Sniplock, EvoSham, Mechadin, Secret Mage
to
EvoSham, Mechadin, Secret Mage...
wow
Better than nothing, but far from enough.

Glinda disenchantment error, hope its fixed
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Drakonid
Not worth a deck slot, but OK when generated, like most dragons. Nice to see an evasive Taunt though.
New Neutral Minion - Camouflaged Dirigible
I don't think this is all that good for Sniplock. Now, I ain't no pro, but i think it's too expensive for the deck. The only way to fight the boards is with a big boardclear so the Stealth becomes irrelevant. Maybe as a one off.

Hearthstone Update - December 5th Patch Notes (Battlegrounds Updates, New Cards in January, the Return of Tyrande and More!)
Yeah same here. I assume it's a bug, since they didn't address this.
Corrupt Elementalist
One of my favorites this set. Sweet art. Sweet effect. Can even be played with quest to make a devastating galakrond.
