Isn't this bundle meant to be for people who missed the pre-order ?
I didn't get it why they put it in shops in hurry before the expansion officially released. I remember like they made it for Ashes of Outland just after official release.
Well, I still use Varian Wrynn in wild and he still wins some games by himself but I know that people expects more from him and I had expected more too because its RNG element of sometimes he draws only spells decreases the consistency element. I still think People used Varian Wrynn in a wrong archetype for using him to cheat big minions. He is better in an Aggro deck with Leeroy Jenkins and Kor'kron Elites and Grommash Hellscream and maybe with Inner Rage(since it is the only 0 mana spell in warrior) as a finisher, rather than using it for cheating big minions like how Dr. Boom is used in Zoo decks. Yeah, in that time, Warrior doesn't have so much aggro stuff but right now, it is still good if you ask me. And yeah, you would probably say "Aggro is dead if you didn't win until 10 mana", You might be right as well but my own experience with this card doesn't say the same tbh.
For cheating bigger minions, Dimensional Ripper and The Boom Reaver had already outclassed Varian Wrynn, btw. It doesn't even give minions rush, so it is better to use him for finishing the game rather than trying to make a tempo swing.
Also, It is worth for its theme music ! That's wonderful;
I wish, This was one of the background theme for Hearthstone. That poor card deserves more love to be played. You know, you don't play this game only for wins, do you ? Sometimes, I only play with this card just for hearing this theme in the game.
Please Blizzard, Make him a battleground Hero and add this theme to somewhere in BG. :D
I do like the fact that people can obtain cardbacks from 5 years ago. Although I do think that there has to be a red stamp on them to differentiate from the Month-reward.
To keep it more unique. I am pretty proud that I have all the cardbacks from 38 consecutive months!
lol, and when i had said that for Ragnaros card back, back then in this site, I got 200+ downvotes. Same with Tyrande.
Draws you cards and if you have a 5 damage weapon then this is free.
Yes, this is good. Yes this will go into all aggro rogue/warrior decks. But will it ever go anywhere else? That's another question. Risky Skipper combo is still here and not going anywhere, and rogue still has cards like Dirty Tricks and [Hearthstone Card (greyheart) Not Found] sage to do the same thing.
Perhaps next year this will truly shine. Until then, I cant see Risky Skipper making way for this, so its strictly going to aggro pirate warrior and little else.
I really can't get it why there are comments like this. It is like we have a tournement format while playing on ladder and we have a limitation to build only one deck with a class.
It doesn't mean that some viable class decks outclass the other. There might be different viable archetypes for a class and that doesn't mean they are outclassing each other.
Risky Skipper combo is a different thing, this card's support is different. You might want to climb ladder with that deck, someone wants to play warrior but with different archetype.
Don't act like there "should" or "have to" be only one archetype of deck for each class in the meta.
If you have said that some existing cards outclass this one for target archetype like " Why would i use Self-Sharpening Sword while i can use Hooked Scimitar or Waggle Pick" I could understand tho. But you are comparing different type of cards for different archetypes.
If silences after the minion attacks, the card powerlevel downs a lot.
Yea, that was my thought exactly. And I think it should work as earth shock, but in the example - it states - silence and then deal 1 dmg to it. Here it says - whenever it attacks - silence it. So it can be interpreted both ways. But I guess I am being just paranoid
Yes you are, Turalyon says same thing and it makes the target minion 3/3 before it deals damage as we saw in reveal stream. So I'm %100 sure Magehunter will work same.
So, like a delayed Penance in theory with an upside which are the soul fragment support cards.
It might be better than it because sometimes you re just (mostly) forced to play Penance even you have 30 health. Delayed heal which can be used for another feature is quite great mechanic.
I really hope and expect to see some viable fragment decks in meta.
Maybe this means Token DH isn't supposed to be played purely aggressively?
Either way this is pretty strong. Just having another boardclear is a good argument for trying to run Control DH.
I think exact opposite of this.
Your tokens go face, some is used for setting opponent's minions health to 3 then you use this to turn your 1-2 health tokens into 3/3-s and clear opponent's board.
I don't really think this card is for Control DH, it just gives Token DH more resources. it is like The Forest's Aid more than Flamestrike.
Might be interesting with Poisonous minions and double attack posibilities but probably it will be used mostly as a deathrattle or combo activator because it simply gives minions rush.
You may think this card as a bomb card at first glance at first but it is not.
Even if it can destroy 1 or 2 minions from board, that's a plus for the fragment deck i guess because when i see the fragment cards that adds them to deck, almost all of them is around clearing the board. You would be clearing the board again and again until this card comes in time.
It is not a bomb card, It is meant to be pushing the tempo a bit more in my opinion.
It's obviously never going to see any legitimate competitive play, but it's just such a funny card to dick around with and I know at least a few people will do that.
Of course we will do ! I prefer %2000 times this kind of stuff instead of Resurrect Priest's consistency.
Ah, but there is a fact that I will make a mistake like I can enjoy with this card and everytime I will play this card, it will cast Lightning Bloom and overload me for nothing. That's the reality...
Hey, There is Glide in standard, we just need a source of coin or discount and all will be ok. Maybe with Escaped Manasaber, I don't know but there must be a way to abuse this in standard.
Too situational since Glide's draw effect is Outcast but worth try i guess.
Edit: I made it in a hurry so it's probably a crap deck but did thought that it might be possible with Skull of Gul'dan.
little and collectible Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury. Since it is cheaper and Shaman's spell's are also cheaper with overload and deals higher damage than Hunter's spells, it will act better than it probably.
I have experimented with Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury with Malygos when it was first released and it acted quite well, but there was some Hunter-ish survival difficulties in that deck. In Shaman, surviving until late game wouldn't be an issue most of times i believe and there is Lightning Bloom now which makes Malygos even more threatening so +6 Spell Damage is better than +5 for going lethal and we can put 2 copies of this unlike Vereesa Windrunner.
I will probably experiment with this in a Malygos Shaman deck.

How this is exact same point with Fluxflashor's ? :D

I hope it is about achievement system and we get achievements someday soon.

So the names are [Hearthstone Card (Shima) Not Found] and [Hearthstone Card (Kolek) Not Found]
I really wonder what will be the Huffer's demon version. Fuhrer maybe ? :P

Anti Egg tech.
Probably it is meant to be deathtrattle removal rather than taunt or etc. but clears some preparation for spellbursts too.
I'm glad there is a card like this. I like tech options.
Best soul fragment card for sure. I really wonder why this is not a dual class card.
want to try this out with Keymaster Alabaster. Skull of Gul'dan might make the combo possible. I will absolutely try to make it work.
I think exact opposite of this.
Your tokens go face, some is used for setting opponent's minions health to 3 then you use this to turn your 1-2 health tokens into 3/3-s and clear opponent's board.

because it is the ugliest thing in the world ?
If there will be a viable Control Hunter deck, This will be great tempo swing with Guardian Animals.
You may think this card as a bomb card at first glance at first but it is not.
