    I'm going to be drafting a lot to try to earn the gems for the battle pass, so I doubt I'll buy this seasons, but maybe a season or two away.

  • Rogue Uldum Card Reveal - Plague of Madness

    Quote From Stile

    Not sure this qualifies as a 'plague', maybe just a 'Bout of Madness'. Now if instead it gave every minion on the board poisonous...

    They had the perfect effect for a card called Plague of Madness, problem was, it’s a Priest card called Mass Hysteria.

  • New Rogue Spell - Plague of Madness

    The developers said that this card was changed in the final stage of the design process, to keep it in line with the "class identity" announcement. Before it was changed it was probably a board clear, like the other plagues, but the Blizzard overlords wouldn't allow Rogue to be able to clear more than one minion at a time. This card is probably gonna end up like Dr. Boom's Scheme, never seeing any play because of a stupid last minute decision to change the card from what it was originally supposed to be.

    I can see this being included in a highlander deck with max weapon removal.  I do believe many if not all classes will be getting highlander support.

  • New Rogue Spell - Plague of Madness

    And here I thought Rogue was getting a board clear like the rest of the EVIL gang. This seems terrible, like a weapons project only without a million different ways for the rogue to exploit it. Envenom Weapon never saw play in standard, so why would this? Especially with rogue lists cutting saps and eviscerates?

     

    I don't even think the flavour is on point. A plague of madness would be something like Mass Hysteria, instead both players get a very deadly weapon which they can use accurately and at their leisure. I didn't think I could be even more underwhelmed by the plague """cycle""" but there you have it.

     

  • How has your experience been playing against SN1P SN4P?

    I've been playing with mage and had zero problems so far.  If there is a mech in play late enough in the game for them to have mana to combo off, just freeze it.  Coppertails can get frost nova'd and I run 2 copies.  If they go in and make a big dude without a mech that can attack on board, just freeze it.  If the big mech has taunt, well ... discover burn/polymorph or let the flamewakers do work.  There's also random vapes and ice blocks

  • Have you pre-ordered the expansion yet?

    probably not, the reason behind this is because of "quest" cards.
    Never was a fan, don't like it consuming your opening hand slot, things like that.
    So, it's very unlikely for pre-ordering.

    oh yeah, the adventure mode sapping 2800 gold coins didn't make me motivate for the next expansion either.

    Thanks!

    This is the 1st of 4.

  • Have you pre-ordered the expansion yet?

    Thanks to the "gift" of 3 free days of WoW time, I was able to go in and clear my WoW gold for some Blizzard Balance. Got the 80 packs for $50. Not bad since I don't play WoW anymore. (BfA is atrocious)

    Quote From Fluxflashor

    Well that's certainly a huge increase compared to before!

    I really still don't know how I feel about battle passes in card games. It's certainly a cool way to incentivize people to login while spending money since it is just too good of a deal, but I don't know, I feel like it can contribute to more burnout. I burned out of Apex Legends before I finished my battlepass and felt bad I was 20 levels away so I bought them. Now I'm not even playing season 2 because I feel like I'll be missing out if I don't buy the pass but I don't have the time to complete it. I'm in a similar boat with Magic where I'm playing much more Hearthstone atm so the pass almost doesn't make sense, maybe.

    Regardless, good on them for actually hearing the community.

    I agree. The battle pass is just too much temptation and forces you to play a lot more Fear of Missing Out on cosmetics. They said that they will remove the purchase of levels from the in your face temptation. Magic has provided a much needed break from HS.

  • Rogue Uldum Card Reveal - Plague of Madness

    Blade Flurry doesn't work that way though, because it only uses the weapon's damage value to determine its own damage. That's how it was with Envenom Weapon.

  • Rogue Uldum Card Reveal - Plague of Madness

    Interesting card, pretty bad class to put it in. There’s a lot of things you’d love to smack with Poison, but Rogue likes to put a lot of stuff on the board. You wouldn’t want to give them ways to clear your growing board, even though it’s still face damage dor them. This would be pretty insane in like, Druid. In Rogue? I’m very sketchy on it.

    The combo with Harrison could be very real, but I don’t know if it warrants an include...

     

    Also, it should have been called Madness Project. It’s way more of a project than a “Plague”, from the only Plague card we’ve seen so far.

  • Rogue Uldum Card Reveal - Plague of Madness

    Happy that I finally crafted Harrison, or even better a turn 3 with Ooze.

  • Rogue Uldum Card Reveal - Plague of Madness

    All I can think about is using this with blade flurry only 5 mana and it wipes the entire enemy board would be crazy against giants mage right now

    Right now my chances are 1/710, not too shabby :D Good luck all, may the one who needs it most win!

  • New Rogue Spell - Plague of Madness

    Seems bad.

  • New Rogue Spell - Plague of Madness

    I agree that it's not what I was expecting-- plagues all affecting every minion on the board-- but the flavor makes sense to me. The heroes go berserk and will suddenly attack anything with great destructive force. 

  • New Rogue Spell - Plague of Madness

    card art and flavor are a home run. Not sure if much else is worth mentioning

    Now rogues have reason to run Harrison Jones
