I have two initial ideas for this one; pretty satisfied with the Druid minion, but the Legendary I pre-nerfed twice already lol:

Massive Macaw is the counter-point to Grey Sage Parrot: the Parrot replays Rune of the Archmage or Time Warp over and over again, so why can't the Druid resummon minions repeatedly?

Izzy the Overachiever could be really fun, but Survival of the Fittest from the same set makes it scary. I upped her cost and swapped Battlecry for Spellburst to make it harder to cheat out a spell before it's time.

Competition Theme: Cast On, Cast Off

It seems like an awful lot of effort to play all these cards. If only they could help out somehow...

• You must create a card which can play other cards
  • There's plenty of ways to go about this - at random (Servant of Yogg-Saron) or very specific (Lady in White); from hand (Felwalker), from deck (Nightshade Bud) or from the past (Tess Greymane). Maybe you'll find another different way!

Sothis is looking for some cards to be cast this week - so why not get the cards to do the casting?

As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

Discussion Thread Rules

No thread rules were added to this season. Please populate and manually edit this thread with them.

No fix and no feedback yet. Has anyone else noticed these mobile issues? Scrolling even stops for quite a few seconds. What is causing this? These lag/freeze issues are very annoying.

Typically in these new sets I go card by card and try to weigh in on what's competitive for existing archetypes.

But the genius of Awakening is now every region gets to play like Hearthstone warrior if it wants to, or Flesh and Blood a more recent card game released that seems to cough cough provide a little inspiration.

Honestly all 3 new Champs Master Ip, Forge Master, and Weapon Master all look exceptionally viable.

So let's weigh in on portal girl, I think she is strong if you have enough viable ways to slow down the game. So it'll be up to you if you want Freijord, Shadow or Ionia.

5 drop scythe dude looks like the worst of the bunch only because we are playing a game where 5 drops come down as 6/6's with quick attack, and endless keywords that machine gun your board. He looks like thresh which is hard to play these days.

Overall Awakening is positioned to hard shuffle the tier list because non of the released cards belong in existing archetypes and thats a good thing we don't want another bard situation.

I would not play him as a 3x either but the way I build around him, makes basically every unit a threat. U literally "ram" through your enemies units and removals until you can finish him of. Mere statwise you will have a hard time to beat a forge deck IMO.

Europe release when? :(

Well he can level in deck and if he gets played on level 2 he is a huuge double trouble unit.

It's kinda like a lvl2 Zed who has overwhelm already . 

It doesn't look exiting for sure and maybe the fact that freljord has no spellshield will break ornn's neck but I also could see Ornn becoming the new Sion of Freljord 

You really think he's strong? At 7 mana, you'd expect him to be a really big deal, but he seems a lot less impactful than Viego at 5 mana. 

I only need 2 words to describe this champion: 

Word 1: Strong

Word 2: boring

Quote From RealJC1234TheToonist

Just want to request, is it possible to make an additional post for clarity where the expansion's cards are organized in a clear way? I understand you organized them by flavor but the way the cards were ordered doesn't have a consistent pattern (such as rarity, class or name in alphabetical order) so it's hard to wrap one's head around. (I dunno, I think it's just me.)

The cards are already ordered consistently by class, they are just divided in two since each class has two different archetypes. I've also added neutrals to each relevant package to help viewers notice interesting synergies they might otherwise miss. Still, reordering them won't cost me much time, so sure. This is the expansion sorted by class and rarity:

• ROGUE

• HUNTER

• WARLOCK

• SHAMAN

• PALADIN

• PRIEST

• DEMON HUNTER

• DRUID

• MAGE

• WARRIOR

• NEUTRALS

We want to give some more control over card acquisition but it will not be from boosters

Even without any other details provided, this line is the big news. I hope they come up with something good.

This GMs was definitely one to remember, even if it's the last one ever. xBlyzes was so unlucky with his Rogue but he got the nuts every time with his weird XL Deathrattle Relic DH. Match 7 against Levik in the Semi Finals was just such a troll.

BunnyHoppor definitely deserves to go to Worlds though so do hope to see him there.

Thank you! It works well now!

The post is fixed now, sorry if it wasn't working the first time you saw it

Level 46 today. I'm happy to have unlocked the sweet Krygian Tyrande portrait, so I'm now playing some Quest Priest to rock this beauty. 

Once I finish my weekly quests, I'll be able to reach Level 50. Can't wait to see what crappy legendary I'll be getting for this part of the rewards track this time! Keep you guys posted.

“Skelemental” of course!  Not sure why we’re even arguing here.  The more obvious better name is of course Boner Mage!  You know… because the skeletons… their, well…

Sexy AF!

The competitive deck was Bard Illoi because at the time Bard everything was competitive thankfully not so much anymore. Equip is going to be a much healthier equivalent of chimes being properly integrated into the game.

Good luck to the finalists :)
