Unless there's a good reason for warrior to be flooding board I dont see why this would be played at all.
Without knowing the details, I believe the main component of this card is its Fire spell school: the expansion reveal stream teased that we would be seeing a Fire Warrior archetype.
I can only guess what that means or how it will come together, but there's gotta be a reason you're okay with playing it later in the game.
I think this might see play. This really reminds me of Thorngrowth Sentries but a bit more flexible. This seems decent in control, but maybe too some more aggresive strategies.
Well, Big Spell mage will LOVE this card. Kind of a shame most of Big Spell Mage will rotate the expansion after March of the Lich King. Still before then i bet this will see a lot of play, and it might replace Drakefire Amulet in some decks.
Some burst damage for mage, well this is going to see play i think. The second mage gets any kind of spell-damage archetype again this will be pretty strong. Also this could help revive questline mage... which i hope it does not. Still, 1 mana deal 2 damage has seen play quite a bit. It kinda has some competition with First Flame, however Arcane Bolt can target face and First Flame is a stormwind card, and thus will rotate after the next expansion.
Defend the Dwarven District might like this card? Its a hero power refresh and can allow you to deal more FACE dmg thanks to the spell damage. Also seeing hunter with Spell damage really remind me of Vereesa Windrunner, which honestly isn't a good thing. However this being draw in hunter at least makes it a bit better.
Hmm this card is really dependand on druid getting good undead minions. But if they do, then yeah this will be a must-include in aggresive druid decks.
Spell DH Archetype incoming? That seems pretty bad unless they get some really strong support...
I can only see this getting played if DH gets a strong spell that is a cheap minion generator, and on top of that it needs to be easy to generate... Either that or they make a legendary DH weapon with battlecry: "For the rest of game, whenever you cast a spell, discover a minion"... or a legendary spell with a similar effect.
Hmm, now i think about it i kinda hope they make a card like that. That would be fun to play around with.
Edit: Another thing they could do is push a aggresive Token DH deck that is all about summoning minions with spells, which kinda makes sense i guess. But that would i.m.o. be the more boring option.
Signature Golden packs are just an upgrade to the Golden packs: they have a boosted chance of dropping Signature Legendaries, on top of the regular benefit of everything being Golden.
I honestly think the signature cards are kinda ugly. I was a huge fan of Diamond cards, which I suppose was not a common opinion, but the signature design is not doing it for me. The Diamond animations really make the cards pop in a way that you can only do in a digital game, where the signature cards are a thing that MtG has been doing better for 20 years.
I love the Rune system, but I'm really curious how it will feel opening expansion cards moving forward. It looks like they're not reducing the number of neutrals, instead just adding 10 more cards to each expansion, which I'm personally fine with. But in many ways, Death Knights get far fewer tools per expansion than other classes because they literally can't all go in the same deck. If an expansion has one card for each triple rune combination, it's almost like any given Death Knight deck is only getting 5 cards compared to other classes' 10. I wonder how they'll circumvent this problem.
i got the 1st drop message in chat , and in the inventory "Drop Claimed. Connect your Twitch and game accounts to receive this reward ingame " but not the pack, not sure if blizzard delay , so is possible i was wrong thinking that if progress bar works accounts are connected.
Such an oddity, but good to know that it works either way! It also looks like we've actually had a number of confused and forgetful streamers who failed to enable drops/campaign on their channels. This should be less and less of a problem going forward.
I did a test , im not connected on the top part of the Battlenet site "Connections" , but only on the bottom part "Authorized Applications" ( Twitch Interactive, Inc. ) and drops still work
EDIT: MAY NOT WORK , just progress works but not pack ( don't know if progress always work )

Ice Revenant's nerf seems obvious now, with the Death Knight on our doorstep, but I would never have guessed that back when it first appeared.

New Warrior Minion - Silverfury Stalwart
Arena card so far. I can only see this getting played IF warrior gets some insane Taunt warrior synergy or handbuff synergy.

Yeah, same. Really threw me off at first. They must've changed something since it's never been the case for me before.
