Quote From Thonson

I remember seeing an opponent with 1,000 win DH portrait less than two weeks into DH’s release.

Sheer madness: that is almost 100 wins a day!

Depending on how strong DK is I bet we see 1,000 win portraits quickly.  I remember seeing an opponent with 1,000 win DH portrait less than two weeks into DH’s release.

At the moment, when Illidan meets Arthas on the ladder, he says something like "Today, and forever, I am your better, Arthas." 

Which I enjoy, since Arthas is generally a smarmy bastard. 

So I'm gonna swap in an Illidan portrait and rock some DH on the day 1 ladder until I get to hear their updated interaction. Shouldn't take long. 

Maybe some Sylvanas after that.  

I feel incentivized to buy the mega bundle just coz I don't want to spend that 2k gold on the path of arthas set and be left with 20 less packs to open on expansion day. I didn't buy the Castle Nathria tavern pass so I don't have that much gold anyway. 

I think Blizzard intentionally did this to make the mega bundle basically essential if you want all the DKs cards at expansion launch.

Either way, Blizzard is getting more money out of us, if players buy the path of arthas alone with real money/gold or buying it with the mega bundle.

I still remember that I built an Anti-DH Demon Warlock with Kanrethad Ebonlocke and Enhanced Dreadlord for Taunts, Mo'arg Artificer and Nether Breath for Lifesteal gains, Doom Pact for even more healing (back then you could also target enemy Demons) and Aranasi Broodmother into Plot Twist for, you guessed it, more HP recovery; there was probably an Acidic Swamp Ooze too, since Aldrachi Warblades had 3 Durability hits on day 1.

I remember facing something like 11 Demon Hunters in a row and, finally, I also remember that, despite all my deckbuilding efforts, I didn't have a positive winrate, which is mind-blowing if you think about it: you build your deck just to counter one, ignoring all the other matchups, and you still get steamrolled. AoO day 1 was a whole other level of madness.

Definitely not the same! However, talking about three different sets, all of which are about Arthas and his ascension to the Frozen Throne, is bound to lead to some confusion (especially since they aren't already available, so it's all mind games): all I can say that is that I am glad we fixed it in just a handful of hours.

Ok thanks for the clarification 

To be fair, with day 1 DH the option was basically to be "that guy" or to lose, so I suspect some of those "that guy"s were not actually "that guy"s but just people who didn't want to pull their hair out in rage every game.

Iirc, I noped out of it altogether and played some Wild instead :P I'm pretty sure the Shadowjeweler Hanar + Cheat Death combo kept me happy while Illidan destroyed Standard.

And you would be right, the two are not quite the same. Thanks for catching that, now fixed! That one is also on me (somebody was too sleepy when prepping things late at night), not Avalon. 

Tess Greymane does not recast coins, so no: only the spells that come from The Sunwell will be repeated.

Understood, thank for the answer)

Did you know that one of the most played games on the internet is called Cookie Clicker? More than 3 million people have played it, and it has been highlighted on numerous tech websites, such as TIME, Mashable, and The Verge.

Themes like food, movies, or animals are frequently the focus of Cookie Clicker.

A horizontal runner game named Geometry Dash was created and published by RobTop Games.

Just confirming, a neutral spell is still considered as "another class" right? So Tess and Contraband Stash will recast The Sunwell along with all the other spells you've cast?

It consists of a clip that almost certainly belongs to the Death Knight Prologue solo adventure (unlocking the class cards belonging to Path of Arthas)

A bit confused here. I thought the Path of Arthas set has to be bought with real money or gold? Wouldn't the solo adventure unlock the core set for DK?

It's 100% this reason ☝ Blizzard also want pre-orders to sell so they will blatantly make the class overpowered just to sell bundles.

Personally, I think I am going to flood Constructed with Death Knight since Day 1.

I still remember when Demon Hunter was introduced back in Ashes of Outland: back then, I refused to play the class not because I didn't have the cards, but rather because I didn't want to be "that guy" and immediately infest ladder. Turns out Day 1 DH was lots of fun and ladder was mostly made of "that guy" players ahah.

For this reason, I am not going to miss my chance this time around: I will make sure to tech my DK decks so that they'll align against whatever DK lists streamers are playing at the moment and I will grind the crap out of the Golden portrait!

Arcane Quiver being a thing means that Arcane Hunter will receive massive support.

However, this also means that Questline Defend the Dwarven District will receive new tools to choose from, which is a real shame. I really can't wait for that stupid card to rotate.

Priest: if a friendly character is fully healed give them +1 health instead

Warlock: If you discarded a card this turn your 1st hero power cost 0

Druid: If you casted a nature spell this turn your hero power refreshes 1 mana crystal

That is just how T5 balances stuff. They would rather have their new class be OP and see play than weak and see no play. I think they have also stated it is easier to nerf things then it is to buff?

Death Knight has long been one of my favorite classes in WoW, and I am thrilled to see it coming to HS! I plan to grind the class upon release. I don't think I will get to 500 wins terribly quickly because I also tend to grind XP achievements when the expansion launches. I can't wait to play with this class.

Where do the reveals happen "officially" or first?

Right now the only arcane Hunter spell is Arcane Shot. I'm going to assume they'll be printing more over the next few expansions, because otherwise what's the point of this?

Actually increasing max health instead of just healing, eh? I'm not looking forward to facing 50 HP DKs, but maybe the blood only deck restriction will keep the win rates in check.
