So I guess now PVE is necessary to stay relevant in PVP. Welp, no more "you can choose whether play PvE or PvP". Now you literally have to pay twice whatever we used to pay the first two years of HS. Good luck
This update is crazy, way more than I personally was expecting. Wild packs with gold?? Sn1p-Sn4p warlock gone?? Adventures actually giving cards again?? Even the idea of rotating hero portraits, allowing older ones to come back (maybe like miave or something) so people could get them if they really wanted them in cool. Even the battleground changes are really cool. One of the best updates we have had in a while.
Looking forward to playing with all of this and the next expansion... after finals lol (gl by the way to anyone else prepping for them now or soon)
New in-game shop sounds great, much better than what we have now, especially since we can purchase Sylvanas instead of being forced to participate in some WoW tie-in (as much sense as that would make thematically).
Buying wild packs and adventures with gold? Excellent decision by Blizzard (obvious as it should have been for years now).
Bombing out Snip Snap warlock took way too long but I'm glad it's done. Especially after the preemptive nerf to Reckless before snip even released.
I think the BG changes should really bring a new wave of players and experience to the mode, a welcome influx of players enjoying a very fun mode (as RNG and swing-y as it is).
Most importantly: DOOM IN THE TOMB IS OVER. So long, you miserable stack of cards. See you in wild... and sorry, Sylvanas. I love your card but you have to leave. I'll see you as my new favorite hunter skin.
The rush is great since it can remove and the battlecry is crazy since at max it summons two giants with rush. I expect this to be run in every deck even if they only have like 3 galakrond activators
You missed the important highlight of full dust refund on [Hearthstone Card (sound the bells) Not Found] and Glinda Crowskin and non golden SN1P-SN4P because they nerfed infinite echo comboes
I can see this being rated lower now but everyone hating it when it's in action like other we've seen. Works with the quest and provides some soft taunts since the drakes have rush they'll be useful if the eggs live.
This might work but it might not since it's random you could get something crazy like trion or rag in wild or you could get mill house or nat pagle so its really just up to luck and getting shudderwock from this would be great since its cheaper and you can use the quest on it
Lighting bolt or lava burst could be a great combo to rattle this off with and the other overload cards we've seen for shaman make this guy a big threat since it can clear or face
well well, looks like this is a necessary evil at this point. With only 2 neutral invokers you're basically forced to run this (in any class other than Shaman) for Galakrond to be consistent.
Priest can maybe get away with not playing it purely on the basis that both Galakrond and the Dragon aren't really something you wanna slam as fast as possible.
Warrior is probably the best off because it's 5-damage for 4-mana.
Warlock and Rogue got absolutely shafted by this, it's such a huge tempo loss.
Agreed. I think Rogue is even worse than Warlock here, since WL at least immediately gets stuff on board.

Heart of the Sunwell - Easy Brawl
Needs more legendaries ;)

Wooohoooo ok so to recap:

New Shaman Hero - Galakrond, the Tempest
The rush is great since it can remove and the battlecry is crazy since at max it summons two giants with rush. I expect this to be run in every deck even if they only have like 3 galakrond activators

My Pack
Nifty score on this one!
Hearthstone Update - December 5th Patch Notes (Battlegrounds Updates, New Cards in January, the Return of Tyrande and More!)
AWESOME! No more echo-warlock haunting wild.
And yeay, Silvanas! <3
My Pack
Nice I got the Anchaaar!
New Shaman Minion - Nithogg
I can see this being rated lower now but everyone hating it when it's in action like other we've seen. Works with the quest and provides some soft taunts since the drakes have rush they'll be useful if the eggs live.
New Neutral Minion - Big Ol' Whelp
Very straightforward, won't go unnoticed for sure.
New Shaman Minion - Bandersmosh
This might work but it might not since it's random you could get something crazy like trion or rag in wild or you could get mill house or nat pagle so its really just up to luck and getting shudderwock from this would be great since its cheaper and you can use the quest on it
Evasive Wyrm
Like a worse zilliax but this actually forces to do a double trade wich could be great in some scenarios.
New Neutral Minion - Troll Batrider
flanking strike was very used, but the rng factor makes this one weaker
New Shaman Minion - Cumulo-Maximus
Lighting bolt or lava burst could be a great combo to rattle this off with and the other overload cards we've seen for shaman make this guy a big threat since it can clear or face
Big Ol' Whelp
excelent 5 cost filler. and its actually pretty good, full vanilla plus one card. Good!
New Neutral Minion - Living Dragonbreath
meh, not enough freeze cards for this being worthy
New Neutral Minion - Shield of Galakrond
Pretty much an auto-include in Galakrond decks imo. The aggro ones would still prefer a 4/5 over a 2/2 for 1 more Mana.
Utgarde Grapplesniper
If the enemy cant get the dragon maybe is worth the try but 6 mana has a very important spot.
New Neutral Minion - Hippogryph
again a pack filler, no way to play this in a competitive deck
hmmmm
Ohh, now I get it xd
I thought you somehow broke the simulator
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Feywing
arena meta defining, filler in constructed
New Neutral Minion - Devoted Maniac
Agreed. I think Rogue is even worse than Warlock here, since WL at least immediately gets stuff on board.
New Neutral Minion - Big Ol' Whelp
strong, imagine this for 3 mana with the reduction of legendary
Big priest
Had the same idea on the first day. Gallery on 1 is pretty funny. Only thing that wrecked me was a mage.
