Ehm... Kazakusan

Insuppose the closest comparisons ar Flik Skyshiv or Keli'dan the Breaker

Caught a glimpse of it as well, thanks for sharing! I think we may wait until all the card reveals are done for today and then post a separate update to talk a bit more about Mercs. Only fair to give the mode some extra spotlight. 

And sadly, it would seem they have given up on special trailers for the Mini-Set. I guess too much cost investment as deemed by the higher-ups? It's sad, now we'll only get a semi-trailer with gameplay for each major patch, if the trend continues. 

Sylvanas is back in a style

Looks like a good inclusion for a variety of currently popular decks, but my god will it be disgusting in Shaman with Bolner. I guess they might have to nerf Macaw after all.

Hell yeah, finally black people can use Mind Control as well

Boo you coward, you edited it and now I look insane

You're right, fixed (and thanks!). My poor eyes, not made for faint Hearthstone backgrounds. 

One thing that scares me is that Scale of Onyxia fits to perfectly with this card. Most classes can have trouble to get Infuse(7). It would require multiple cards. Druid can infuse to easy with his cards.

Rend Blackhand required the condition of having a dragon in your hand and could only target Legendary minions, not sure if that's a good comparison.

Here is the official announcement with the three new cards (2 for Druid, 1 for Shaman)

Murder Accusation looks for me more like Rogue card not Druid (black background instead of brown).

The non infused version its ok, Rend Blackhand powercreeped.

But the infused one its sweet, if dude paladin gets some support can be a good option to deal with taunts.

Amazing art

This is what i love most about new expansions. When they make old cool yet unplayable at the cards actually viable.

YES! MILL DRUID IS BACK BABY!

Again no trailer for the mini-set? And just like last time the mini-set feels really disjointed from the main set. The expansion was all about who killed Sire Denathrius and now we are suddenly following Sylvanas in a Trial without even getting a resolution? A simple cinematic about murloc holmes pointing out that the murderer was posessed by Sylvanas, that Denathrius survived it and that he sends Sylvanas to this trial would have been enough for me to fill this gap.

On the flip side this mini-set seems like it again has a bunch experimental cards in just like the last ones. Even if those mechanics don't make it into the meta it's still cool that those mechanics exist now.

Also yay that Mercs "time to shine" atleast gets mentioned this time. We already know that the pve endgame likely comes out at the end of the year, but hopefully it includes the coin exchange that was mentioned in the 24.0 patchnotes.

Edit: this was posted on Discord by one of the merc content creators that has a reveal on September 26. You know, at this point I take anything.

 

Edit edit: here is the official source

They better make a jazzy intro for this set. I love hearthstone and his jokes

Windshear Stormcaller, upon seeing Totemic Evidence: "Okay, hear me out..."

Look...I don't really care that much for puns but I have to respect them for their commitment.

Kazakusan is the least powerful of those and can be cut, you rarely need him to win. Tickatus is great though and so is Godfrey especially vs Even Shaman

You know I tested Demon Gul’dan N’Zoth version and I found this sort of build to be significantly stronger. Those demons are too slow now, and it’s better to have more removal bonanza vs stuff like Pirate Rogue and especially Even Shaman with Devolves.

I'll just dust some crap cards to make this deck. I don't have Tickatus, Godfrey and Kazakusan for sure. And some other cards I suppose. Two of them is really unreplaceable.

A Demon-less Renolock: interesting...

On a side note, a warm welcome back Swiz: so glad to have you back on the team!

Thats a fair oppinion, that is the thing that set LOR apart afterall the evergreen state of the competitive scene.

But I still feel like there's probably some healthy tweaking to be done, because 4 - 5 competitive Bilgewater decks does feel a little over represented.

Even the fact that they now have a mystic shot in heavy mettle, the best 2 mana board clear in make it rain, the best 5 mana draw, the best  6 mana removal etc.

If I had to guess Bilgewater is the reason Riot was starting to consider rotation. Because man the more tools they keep printing for them the stronger they get every season.

Which ones, might be able to recommend substitutions depending on that.

Ahh, I'm missing a few cards. Just recently I spent dust on a reno priest and quest mage. Maybe there's still something left in the stash.
