I would not say hurt. You either decide to keep them so you can still use them, or you dust them for ridiculous 1/4 dust value. It is your choice. But yes,you will get them for limited time if you don't have them.
Unfortunately, I doubt it. In order for that to happen they would have to program those picks as options for zephrys to grab based on the situation, which the creators explained was their hardest card creation ever. While that seems like a cool idea, we are talking about our little indie company. It would take a lot more work.
An important point in this case is that there will be a sizable number of players who don't own Renounce Darkness but would now get a chance to mess around with it without having to craft the card. To the meme-playing, F2P casuals Renounce Darkness is potentially more interesting than the cards which might affect the meta.
That's a fair point regarding Renounce the Darkness, but a bunch of the other class cards just don't make sense to me. Even if it slots into aggro warrior, I doubt anyone had Bloodhoof Brave on their wishlist, for example.
I probably shouldn't post it here, since it's not related to HS, but I would like to do it anyway.
So today I did a quest in Icecrown called Tirion's Gambit. For those of you, who have never Wotlk before or just need a quick reminder, Tirion Fordring himself assigns us the task to accompany him in the Cathedral of Darkness, where Arthas Menethil's frozen heart, aka the only human thing left of him, is going to get destroyed, and to prevent that from happening. Tirion believes, that this is the only way to redeem Arthas from his past atrocities and to save the world. In order to retrieve it, we have to blend in with the rest of the "Cult of the Damned" members and go full incognito. Once we go there and a chain of events takes place, Tirion realizes that nothing good is left in that heart, all what's pure of Arthas is locked away in Frostmourne, so he wants to weaken The Lich King by piercing his heart. You can check the whole quest playthrough here:
The reason why I wanted to share this moment with you is because I found it very funny, when we entered the Cathedral and tried to stay undercover. Tirion was like "Keep your heads down and follow my lead, so you won't attract people's attention" and I was like:
My purple hood sure fools them. They would never suspect a thing.
You are only looking through the lens of power level. You need to remember all players will receive these cards for free so it's not like you have to waste dust to play them. I'll be playing some renounce fun decks, doesn't always have to be about climbing that ladder.
"While not included in our next major update, here’s a preview of some of the changes we’re making to quests a little further down the line.
We’re cutting some of the less popular daily quests and tuning down some of their requirements to make them quicker and easier to complete. We’ll also be adding some new quests to the pool to mix things up!
We split most daily quests into two buckets: Easy (50g) and Slightly More Difficult (60g). Rerolling a Slightly More Difficult (60g) quest (like Play 10 Beasts) always gives you an Easy (50g) quest, so players can be guaranteed to get an Easy quest every day if they want. We love Murlocs and Pirates as much as anyone, but it should be your choice if you decide to complete their quests."
Rogue is full of deathrattle interaction cards. They have 2 deathrattle related legendaries. Yet at the end of they day even with N'zoth Rogue Deathrattle will still fail to do well. That makes me sad.
Was hoping that the card additions might shake up some of the struggling classes. Mage got some help but rogue just got some meme cards.
Hey all, I saw the update we're getting soon(ish) regarding new portraits and the Wild Card event coming up. This post will be focusing on the new portraits and other ideas in regards to progression.
Hooray, big news, we're getting new hero portraits that are pretty much upgrades from the vanilla portraits that we've had since day one on our adventure. After achieving 1000 wins in ranked and/or arena with a specific class we get these awesome new portraits to show people how dedicated we are to one class, or just to show off how experienced we are within Hearthstone.
This is one way I feel that the community can agree on that rewards us for playing the game so much. It gives us something to work towards and it freshens things up a bit. Now, what other ways can Team 5 implement into the game that can "reward" us for playing? I mean, just being good at one class, or playing A LOT doesn't necessarily mean anything. Metas change and some players who are very good/knowledgeable of the game just don't play enough to obtain that amount of wins.
A small idea I've had comes in the form of Desk Toys. Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Just an object to the side of the game board. These items should be rewarded for obtaining 100 wins during an expansion. For example; A wand of some kind from Dalaran for winning 100 games during the RoS expansion, a Loa banner from RR that changes color depending on the class you're playing, a wrench or maybe some Gloop from the Boomsday. Something that just sits to the side of the board, maybe you use it to represent your favorite expansion? Or maybe you've already obtained 100 wins by day 5-6 and want to show off. For mobile players this would be useless for obvious reasons, but if an in game shelf were implemented for them to at least look at the Desk Toys I think that would suffice.
The second idea in mind comes in the form of Full Art cards. I think this should only apply to some Legendaries and high profile cards. Along with that, in order to get these cards there should be a mini-quest associated with that card. Ragnaros the Firelord could have a mini-quest that reads "Defeat 100-250 opponents with this minions end of turn effect" in order to get the full art version. Sylvanas Windrunner could read "Steal 1000 minions with this card's Deathrattle". "Kill 1000 minions with Doomsayer to obtain it's full art". Or maybe it could be more challenging like trying to use Moorabi or something of that nature.
The last idea I have is to introduce some individual game board pieces and the actual field the cards are in. Essentially for these to be put into the game, Team 5 would have to introduce a blank board for us to place our pieces into. We design our side in a separate menu that's in the collection book, we go into a game, if the Custom Board is selected as the matches board, our side represents us and out opponent has their things that represent them. I can't think of what the individual game board pieces would be or how to get them, but hey, I'm sure you guys will come up with some ides.
Anyway, thank you for reading, if you have ideas please let me know, you never know who's reading these things.
Regarding deathrattle rogue support, Sylvanas and N'Zoth should be enough to push that again (perhaps not into the top tiers but enough to have some success). Anka, the Buried with Sylvanas and Necrium Vial looks juicy enough to me.
Vol'jin is one of those cards that is quite playable, but never made it into meta decks so is written off too easily. In the early days when I still liked playing priest, Vol'jin + Shadowform was one of my favourite little combos.
Yes in it's defence we have way more minions now with stupid high health so making him a 6/8+ is pretty darn good. I take it back lo

You won't be able to disenchant them. Just like other free cards you got. They will just disappear after the event

That boss is pure fun and one of the most exciting encounter i've had in a while. You just don't feel bad playing him.

Everyone gets them for free copies of the cards that they don't already have, but then they go away when the event ends.
Were the 23 Wild Cards Coming to Standard for an Event Leaked?
Yes, everyone will get free event copies, even the people who already have them, and no they cannot be dusted
Were the 23 Wild Cards Coming to Standard for an Event Leaked?
So does everyone get these as free uncraftables? Because this hurts players that dusted Wild cards to make Standard decks.

I think Ragnaros or Sylvanas would be pretty solid when you need to saturate your mana with good tempo plays.
Also I believe those are the only 2 that previously were classic which is what I was referring to.

Honestly, I don't see any card in the set that would work with Zephrys except maybe Lightbomb in some very specific cases.
