I'm aiming to get an update in this weekend to change our deckbuilder back to older functionality. We made a change that overall should have only sped-up the deckbuilder but unfortunately this ended up being not the case. It's certainly a shame because a lot of time was spent on it but it looks like some machines and browsers just aren't a fan of indexeddb support, despite being a web standard and working across the board with the exception of people on Firefox Permanent Private Browsing Mode, which is a very niche group of people using it, which is already a niche of users using Firefox.
So yeah, aiming for something late Sunday more than likely. If not Sunday, definitely Monday, the day before Castle Nathria launches.
When is the community finally going to understand that you can't turn a battlecry into a spell? Mechanically, tons of battlecries can't function without being attached to a body. What would a spell even do that says "give adjacent minions +1/+1" or "gain rush?"
I mean, they found a way to make Thresh look even worse. I didn't think that was possible. And I'm not even sure why that card has Hallowed. It does everything, why do I need a bonus when it dies?
So team5 removes some of the broken passives and in comes something infinitely more sinister.
Get the one that spawns a volatile skelly for each minion killed with a spell. Chances are good you'll ace 12 wins with it because its completely broken in control decks.
Oh and being able to play the new cards are fine too I guess. Been having some fun in duels not seeing many druids with magic mushrooms anyway.
Bests ones (Garrosh, kelThuzad) are paid skins of course. What a shame. Would have been a great reason to invest in the pass if these two were in there.
Also, I kinda feel team5 should have just given Maiev for free, like they did years ago. Charging 7 bucks for it now? That's expensive, especially given how many choices we have nowadays for skins.
I'm afraid it will. If nothing else helps trying to reinstall might be the only way. If that's not an option, you can hopefully find other solutions. Perhaps their support will be good for something.
I like Library, but the flavor feels good and bad at the same time. Silencing makes sense, but it feels kinda weird for a library to destroy a minion that is silenced. Maybe some other effect for already silenced minions, like adding a copy to your hand?
My interpretation is that if you are shushed once, you'll be fine, but if you need to be shushed again, you'll be in trouble. Whether that means you're kicked out of the library/board or something worse is up for interpretation. I guess bouncing would make more sense with the "kicked out" flavor, but that messes with the value and purpose of the card too much and I'm very happy with its current effect.
I'll admit it's a little farfetched, but transferring flavor into in-game effects does cause that more often and there's worse examples, so I'm happy with this.

The cards! The cards! Great, now I've got the song stuck in my head.
Both of these work very well in their intended archetypes. I think Area 52 might need to deal 3 damage, since we've seen from the Questline that it can stack up pretty quickly. Either way I like 🎵De Other Siiiiide🎵 better. This is the more interesting use of Deathrattles on locations I was talking about earlier.

I didn't want to propose using Taunt earlier, because I was afraid that would mess with the identity of the card too much and you had probably considered it already. I do think it works well while sticking with the flavor and is debatably more balanced. However, I also think it makes the card a little less exciting. And I don't think it needs the extra Durability.

The Highest seems to be your most popular card. Again, I do see why. Its effect is unique and since its use is limited to every other turn, there's still some planning required, so I think you should go with this one. Do try to find some better art + naming and probably increase the Durability to 3.
I have already cleared the cache and it didn't help. Clearing the data won't delete all the game files? I have a slow and expensive internet. It's not advisable to download the game again.
I am working on level 275 today, and will finish Sunken City a little short of where I got to in Alterac Valley. I have thoroughly loved the flavor of this expansion, and have played most of the various game modes, at least a little bit. Right now I am following Old Guardian's guide for grinding the new mercs coins - something I can do stress-free during the workday. It doesn't yield nearly as much XP as playing ladder or other modes, but it's progress towards a goal (maxing all mercs in my collection, F2P in mercs except for the initial $5 welcome bundle)...
I completed all but 2 of the XP achievements in Sunken City - didn't bother with trying to trigger the second tier of Ozumat's DR, and never got close with the Demon Hunter AOE one.
I have nearly 38K in gold saved up and a ton of dust waiting on the sidelines. Even with all that, I plan to pre-order Castle Nathria because the "free" legendaries that are given with the bundles help out the initial expansion collection so much. I'll probably supplement the pre-orders with gold totaling 100 or so extra packs - more than enough to get all the epics, and hopefully close to all the legendaries if I am lucky.
Can't wait to crack open packs and play with the new cards next week!
So many awesome skins this time around with the Tavern Pass. As others have said, the new Tyrande is top tier. I also especially like the Renathal (warrior I think), Liadrin, Morgl, and Sylvanas ones.
How about this art? Doesn't 100% fit the Nature-y aspect of the Emerald Nightmare, but I think either fits the Nightmare aspect pretty well. Left one needs a bit of cropping too :P

Underwhelming card unless you only have specific battlecry cards in the deck. Which is hard to do you'd be missing a lot of needed cards.
Novice Engineer was a pretty lame example to use.
I would make it draw two battlecry minions instead of one. Or keep the effect the same and make it an epic card.
