Nice, another AOE for 30 card AOE deck...how about a solid AOE in classic and not one every expansion?
Exactly this. That's what I've been thinking for a long time. As long as Blizzard keeps working like this, they need to keep bringing AOE's for priest. Otherwise Priest is nothing. Just look at their current state.
Seems interesting as a concept, but the stats just aren't worth it. EVIL Cable Rat just seems better in most cases, the chance of you hiding this with taunts seems like more trouble than it's worth.
Doesn't seem worth the slot over Militia Commander unless the 4 mana 3/6's from the Mech buffs make a resurgence, but this card seems scary after rotation. Definitely keeping my eyes on this, it's power level is remarkably high.
Duplitransmogifier with The Muscle and the Mage cost reduction hero power to get them out on Turn 2. As you can see I had 21 of them. The value and tempo was pretty nasty. Took out the first 3 mages in less than 9 turns and Khadgar in like ~10 turns. By far the easiest run I've ever had.
I have all card backsthat are given each month. And I am totally OK with them giving chance for newer players gain older card backs. It's not that this will take away mine or something. Still I had this card back for 4 years. How selfish you had to be to whine about giving to others non real (in damn pc game) card back. "oh no, no longer I will be this speshul snowflake". This card back already was owned by several milion people. Couple more will not change anything. Awesome idea Blizzard. Really.
Since the last update on Android I'm having an issue where if I leave the game for a second and go back it bring me back to the main menu. I'm trying to copy a deck code and the option to copy still comes up but I'm at the main menu so it won't actually copy it. Anyone else having the same issue? I haven't tried on my Kindle yet so I'm not sure if it's only on Android or not.
It's not a big deal, really. I'm still surprised that lost of people are complaining about the toned down boobs and ass. I don't know about them, but I don't play this game to get a raging boner over some scantily clad illustrations.
The new art looks better, aesthetics-wise. The old art was starting to look dated.
I am seriously getting so god damned sick and tired of these types of comments.
You're just projecting.
Just because you're immature and can't see a woman body without obsessing over it sexually and without getting a '' raging boner '' doesn't mean that other people can't...
A fully grown adult in particular should be capable of seeing a womans body without reacting that way, even most teenager high on hormones can.
I am getting so tired of well-meaning but extremely condescending men in particular with the '' overly-concerned and protective father syndrome '' who think that they need to protect women from themselves and that they're being '' woke '' for modesty policing women ( while being totally okay with half-naked men. I can't even begin to count how many times I've seen men post pictures of themselves shirtless in the mirror, and then shame women for wearing normal clothes that show cleavage.
I have to deal with this all the god damned time as a woman and I am getting so tired of it.
And if you can't see a womans body without getting a hard on then you have some issues that you need to work on, if anything you're just outing yourself without even realizing it with your comment.
A healthy adult man doesn't have that reaction to it...
The human body is beautiful, and I think that we all like seeing them.
If we can look at mens bodies without going '' hurr durr unzip pants fap material '' then we should be able to look at womens bodies in the same way. You can appreciate art like the Succubus without it being '' for fap material ''.
It's just such an immature and puritanical way of looking at it...
And there are a lot of cards with far more revealing male characters.
And cards like freaking Succubuses or even the Harpies who are basically beasts are the last card that should be censored...
If skin being revealed doesn't make sense then, when does it make sense and why ain't those same standards applied to men?
Tbh, Malfurion is pretty damn hot. There are many half-naked hot men in Warcraft... Should they be censored because I find them attractive?
This is the nuts in a solid Quest deck of any kind, if Quests end up shaping T1 or T2 decks, this card could be matchup deciding. (Haven't given much thought to Wild, but I don't know how Quests are really fairing in there.)
If you played multiple Dire Frenzy on same Beast, only one buff should be remained. You definitely should report it to official Hearthstone forums or Reddit, in addition to a replay.
The second Dire Frenzy gives Vicious Scalehide +3/+3 second time, so the Scalehide is 7/9. Then it shuffles an exact copy of the minion into your deck.
Imagine like Dire Frenzying a Vicious Scalehide that was already frenzied once, you drew it and played as 4/6 beast.
Well, first of all, I do not think that this fits the card text. The card says: "Give a beast +3/+3." This refers to the beast on board. Then: "Shuffle 3 copies into your deck ...". Shuffling copies into your deck always removes all buffs if not explicitly stated otherwise (e.g. compare Baleful Banker to Kingsbane). After that: "... with +3/+3." This means that the copies shuffled into your deck (with all previous buffs removed) obtain a +3/+3 buff and thus should be 4/6 Scalehides, no matter if Dire Frenzy was casted once or twice onto the beast.
Now, I tried to reproduce it against the innkeeper and was not able to do so. All copied beasts were drawn with a single +3/+3 buff applied to them (as it should be), no matter if Dire Frenzy was casted twice onto the same beast, Dire Frenzy being casted on a drawn beast with the buff already applied, or even Dire Frenzy being casted by Zul'jin on a previously buffed beast. So, against the innkeeper, everything is working as I would expect.
However, in the game I played (of which I unfortunately do not have a replay), the other player definitely played a 13/15 Scalehide from hand, meaning that he would have to have drawn a multiple buffed Scalehide before. When I hovered above the Scalehide, it also showed 4 Dire Frenzy buffs.
Is there any other thing apart from a buff that I have not considered? It certainly was not the case that he somehow casted Dire Frenzy 4 times on the same Scalehide already on board, since he definitely played a 13/15 from hand.
Very disappointed about the change to Succubus. It was clearly done for puritanical reasons. Changes to the other sexy chicks bother me less because the sexiness is still here :D
The other, non-sex related are postive. The new arts are much better, even though these cards weren't the worst offenders.
Consecration: How is the art Warcraft-related? It looks like it comes straight from MTG. It's also very ugly.
Basic Totems specific to each shaman hero (in WoW, they have different skins depending on which race you play)
EDIT: Shit, I didn't notice the other arts were changed because of the gore. Well, at least the new arts are of better quality I guess.
Fun fact about Stoneclaw Totem in the dalaran heist when played from hand vesinna says "I thought it was a snake". like 99% of people.. I still can't see how it's not a snake unless you actually open the card art.
Yesterday, after I logged off, I decided to check the standard sets and see HOW EXACTLY warlocks would abuse the new hero power. I couldn't come up with anything exciting in particular, but this is why imho we should always return to this card, whenever a new warlock/neutral minion is being revealed. Imho Tome of Origination holds a lot of potential and it could be used in some kind of combo decks (if we see more support that is). As a control player I would gladly play this alongside Augmented Elekk and Plot Twist and deny my fatigue counter, but I am aware, that not all users here are willing to follow this strategy. So, how would this enable combos? With minions that shuffle others like Baleful Banker. Before I continue, I want to get something out of this discussion - the wild format.
Just like RavenSunHS said, Mecha'thun warlock would be stronger there. And it would really be. With Tome of Origination you have to reach fatigue and only then you can start making the combo set-ups, while in Mecha'thun's case you just win by playing the 10-drop, Bloodbloom and Cataclysm. So since this win-condition is faster than any theoretical build, which can come from the new warlock quest, wild is not worth any discussion, since the quest won't be used there competitively (maybe only in some control decks, but that's another topic).
And now back to the main discussion. As I said, I don't really know how warlocks would abuse this spell in standard. I have come up with some win-conditions, but those look rather counterable and fair. For example:
I expect some people to mention Jepetto Joybuzz and I can't deny the fact, that he is faster than Tome of Origination and would be better in some cases, but he isn't always reliable. With the new warlock HP and Baleful Banker you can reliably reduce the cost of 6-drops to 0. So as I said earlier, keep a close eye on this card whenever a new neutral/warlock minion is being implemented. There has to be a missing link, which would combine all of the aforementioned cards into one viable deck.
Liam won´t have targets left ;-). Yes i did think about him ... For a second. He does not fit. Also Geist is 6 mana. Half of the games there is not much left for 1 mana.
Yes the deck can run out of steam. I also had 1-7 life and then lost. Here you can think about leeroy.
Blizz has said they wanted to bring back previous card backs, and this is a great way to do so. It’s one I have, but hopefully it’ll be additional incentive for others to play. Maybe one day they’ll re-release the beautiful Black Temple.
It's not a big deal, really. I'm still surprised that lost of people are complaining about the toned down boobs and ass. I don't know about them, but I don't play this game to get a raging boner over some scantily clad illustrations.

Ridiculous. There is censorship everywhere now. In 10 years all cards will have the same art because we will always find someone to argue with. We forgot that at a point we all were naked outside killing each other for territory or food. Now whatever you say or do we'll always find something that isn't "correct" so we constainly afraid of doing things without hurting someone, it's not an healthy environment. "Evolution", i'm not sure this is evolution anymore...
One way they could separate the use of them from ungoro is by possibly making it so that both players and their actions count towards the quest. Possibly giving it a chance to add new strategy to the game. Do you think this would be a good idea?
Seems powerful in the right meta. In a control vs. control, having Fandral Staghelm on a Hero Power seems pretty powerful in the long term. Now all Druid needs is a reason to play a control deck, instead of just running over those control decks with Token.

New Mage Spell - Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron
Undeniably a fun card, but obviously, fun is not the first thing people think of when putting together a Mage list at the moment.
New Shaman Minion - EVIL Totem
Seems interesting as a concept, but the stats just aren't worth it. EVIL Cable Rat just seems better in most cases, the chance of you hiding this with taunts seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Doesn't seem worth the slot over Militia Commander unless the 4 mana 3/6's from the Mech buffs make a resurgence, but this card seems scary after rotation. Definitely keeping my eyes on this, it's power level is remarkably high.
What's your best heist deck?

Warlock still looks like it's on the downwards trend, and I don't think this is the support that Plot Twist was looking for.

Never liked the old Secretkeeper art with her impossibly thin hips and ridiculously tight booty. New art looks better.
