this guy's either going to be zola levels of good or ashmore levels of disappointing
Only time will tell, but I'm leaning on the good - even greater - side of the fence, as its basically Faceless + Zola + Baleful Banker with a Demon tag.
Even if very slow, I think it will be a nice add to many control oriented play style and decks. Wild Reno-lock's list, namely, could benefit from such card's effect and tribe tag, as it conveniently fits multiple purpose at once. You could play Faceless, Baleful and Zola AND have just get this guy to do the same, as a backup plan.
So, I have been struggling with a terrible internet connection lately but at least Hearthstone still worked. It would only maybe crash once on startup and afterwards be fine.
However, since sunday, maybe 1 out of 5 attempts gets me into the main menu; loading my collection may require up to 5 minutes and attempting to start any game tosses me out of the game for good. I know part of my issue is the internet but that is a problem that has gone on longer than these severe issues.
I personally don't mind the way it's currently set up, but a little less time between initial reveal and the daily reveals starting would be nice. The easiest way to do that might be to wait another week or so for the initial reveal. But of course with BlizzCon they had to do the reveal when they did. For the other two sets in a year they could wait to shorten that gap.
I reckon revealing a "pack filler" card (or at the very least, one that's extremely basic) alongside the cards we're most excited about in the reveal season would be a way. That way, they'd at least still get the more flashy card to talk about.
I wouldn't be surprised if there were better ways to do this. Just an idea I thought of in a second.
If they did a couple less reveals per day and didn't do their 30 card dump after their final live stream, they could easily do 4 weeks of reveals.
However, it being that long of a reveal season can feel fatiguing. I do hope we get a couple reveals each week before these begin. I fully expect at least one blog with some news on Sidequests at some point between now and release.
I'm sure there's some marketing reason for it, but I've never understood why they don't start reveal season right after the announcement and capitalize on the hype. Instead they wait three weeks before they're willing to say anything else about it.
Except that the tigers in deck and hand will cost 25. So im not seeing u being able to discount the other 2
No they won't cost 25, that's not how Shirvallah, the Tiger works. The discount from playing spells applies to ALL copies of Shirvallah, including ones you generate or bounce (technically the game applies the discount when it enters your hand, hence why the Holy Wrath combo deals 25 damage not 0 damage).
So if you play a (0) mana Shirvallah and then play Sathrovarr on it you'll end up with 2 Shirvallahs in play, another in hand that costs (0), and another in your deck that when you draw it you can play for (0). In a Shirvallah OTK deck that could be a pretty powerful spike that keeps the Holy Wrath combo intact.
It almost feels like this was given to us earlier than usual.
Maybe because half the reveals don't actually have URLs yet. If you look at the master reveal countdown page we have setup, you'll find most of the reveals say Blizzard. I put that as a placeholder value until we find out where the reveal will actually be.
With all the creativity they’ve had in the Tavern Brawls over the years. It’s insanity they didn’t just pick a successful Brawl to tweak into a more permanent game mode. Even the basic player team ups against the computer tavern brawls, would have been a more welcome game mode than Battlegrounds...
If you are referring to the 4/12 that one looks much more like the Malygos from WoW and Warcraft. I'm not sure about this one, he just looks too cartoony for me.
Galakrond, the Unspeakable
Priest is going to love all the heavy board control tools they'll have available
Sathrovarr
Only time will tell, but I'm leaning on the good - even greater - side of the fence, as its basically Faceless + Zola + Baleful Banker with a Demon tag.
Evasive Drakonid
Give this to a Duel pally or big shaman and let's see if those decks can't start showing up again.
New Hunter Minion - Dwarven Sharpshooter
Fantastic 1-drop, will be an auto-include in any Hunter deck. Together with Springpaw, the Hunter class has gotten some good early-game removal.
New Neutral Minion - Sathrovarr
Even if very slow, I think it will be a nice add to many control oriented play style and decks. Wild Reno-lock's list, namely, could benefit from such card's effect and tribe tag, as it conveniently fits multiple purpose at once.

It is like the Swiss army knife of control decks!

Is anyone else having trouble similar to this?

They usually do give us one or two cards before the documented reveals start, so I reckon they will throw us that bone here as well.

If they started it right away the hype season would end weeks before release, as opposed to days before release.
