I love crushing those paladins with my random cards and my 12/8 Spectral Cutlass with Thief Rogue. Doesn't work everytime tho but i have a nice winrate against them. Helped me to reach platinium other than any other wacky deck i tried anyways (yeah, i am mostly playing wacky decks as some of you might already knew), but looking at 18/12 Leeroy Jenkins with Divine Shield and Windfury is absolutely frustrating if you ask me.
and I don't even think nerfs will solve that problem. that deck might get slower with nerfs and maybe it becomes vulnerable to aggro/Hyper Aggro but so far i didn't see any aggro/hyper aggro decks neither. Hunter might be a thing after that tho, tried that against some paladins and they survived even though i decreased their health around 2-5.
Lifesteal in this year and expansion is just so big. DH, Rogue and Paladin have huge lifesteal. I restored like 100hp with my Thief rogue and i believe some paladin enemy could restored even more in one of my match.
For spirit of Death Knight and some other non-mentioned stuff, set's active time didn't end yet, we will have an upcoming mini-set. There's always hope they will release that.
All of the E.V.I.L. villain's except King Togwaggle is here. I'm expecting to see him too for instance.
I wonder how Silk Stitching work. it doesn't say the word Deathrattle but that mechanic is obviously a deathrattle so I'm wondering that you can trigger it with deathrattle triggerers or not.
I am disagreeing at a point. I don't want to see a black Aragorn (MTG:Arena) or a gay Aragorn in a product while it is originally white straight masculine character.
I'm ok with Baldur's Gate III. I'm ok with NEW LGBTQ/ethnic characters but when they change something or when it is out of place like what it has to do with a guerilla war to be a LGBTQ person, it is just annoying.
I will get lots of downvotes for calling this probably but i need to say this.
I am completely against including LGBTQ and ethnicity IF the product(Game, Film, Series etc.) is based on a period or doesn't have that kind of stuff in its origins of the lore or sexual orientation/ethnicity isn't important for the plot at all. I will give examples.
Including these just because including them without any plot causes more harm than benefit in my opinion.
I am not calling that they shouldn't add that kind of stuff completely but for example, when LOTR saga have no black people in its lore and is handled that ethnicity stuff with their own way in storytelling (like british people being hobbits, jews being dwarves etc.) it looks just absurd to including ethnicity just because appealing them to gain more money.
Same with Red Dead Redemption 2. It was a period drama about end of 1800s on America and there was neither that much Black sherrifs in that time nor it could be because of how people looks that situation in those times but in the game (at least in the Online part) we have a lot and there is no need to fool ourselves like they are doing that just because they care about the subject. This is happenning just because of marketing.
Same with LGBTQ. I am completely not against including in fiction worlds/sagas etc. In a game like Baldur's Gate that sexual orientation matters and there is some interaction about romance etc. it has a meaning so including LGBTQ characters matters and important but when sexual orientation is not important for plot at all, including them just because including can be annoying. It may cause non-LGBTQ people to annoy more when you include as if poking into the eye.
When it is a period drama that there can be no LGBTQ person in that time or it does not have anything to do at all with the plot , it is even more annoying to see some LGBTQ characters like for example you are watching a series about a World War II or playing a game like COD, it is all about war, and LGBTQ people jumps in every corner. When this happens, I am like "Ok but what does that have to do with anything at all in a film/serie/game like this !?"
So, when it is well implemented and matters include everyone in gaming, films, series; I am not against it but positive discrimination nowadays went off the rails as if there are not other people, like everything happens around LGBTQ and ethnic people and like everything is about you are being black or gay or lesbian or any other stuff and people act like if you are not then you are trying to otherise them even though it is not the truth.
Other people than LGBTQ and ethnic people are otherized more nowadays and I will probably be accused by LGBTQ/ethnicity antagonism just because i wrote these.
TL;DR - I am just saying, there needs to be a balance and a meaning for this. It shouldn't be for just marketing.
So the card drawn goes down to (0) if we wait enough. An interesting battlecry for sure, a handbuff that continues to last.
We might see more cards like this in future i guess, like "Battlecry: draw a minion, at the start of your turns, give it +1/+1".
I'm calling it, this mechanic is as problematic as "rest of the game" effects. If team 5 opened this path, it means that they will release more cards like this like how they did for rest of the game effects.
This card and effect might not be broken but anything can be broken with this effect. Well, with a right frost spell, even this card might be problematic in future.
Mages are loosing Cold Case, so extra armor generation will be good. Not as aggressive as Cold Case but that card was broken anyways for what it does for its cost. I don't even know why they didn't nerf it.
I guess coma on text specifies that it can target different targets.
If it was vice-versa, it would be meaningless if you don't want to proc cards like Rotface and it would be a warrior card that deals 1 damage three times that also can target friendlies then imo.
I'm starting to think that they might be a hint for mini-set, either mage will get some secret support while priest getting self-silence support in mini set or I'm halucinating and it is just team 5 is out of ideas.
I know that random stuff is fun and make every round different instead of a chess-like game and it is one of the identities of Hearthstone but someone needs to tell Blizzard that they don't have to release something about Yogg in every expansion...
I'm an RNG enthusiast but even i'm bored to see Yogg-Saron itself and all Yogg-like effects. It is in every damn year while poor Y'shaarj just waits on the bench.
Yeah, it's the Anniversary but there was not only YOGG for mage... in every time...
card itself is good. I've nothing to say more. A typical yogg-like card for no-minion Mage.
I've made a quick check on 3-cost minions in mage's pool and... Meh. it is good to have two 3-cost minions for 4 mana but there are a bunch of worthwhile minions and there are a lot for 3 mana. Most of the good ones are good for their battlecry so this card will be meh most of the time.
It might be actually quite good if Manufacturing Error hits this but it won't be effective enough on turn 7 anyways if it can't hit 2x of this but in that deck you want it to hit Yogg in the Box or any other 5+ cost spells so, i don't know. I don't usually dislike cards but i didn't like this one. It would be quite good in a set with a lot of taunts and deathrattles tho but not in this set.
Underwhelming when you consider the power level of the set.
Is it that hard to make Odyn, Prime Designate to give half the attack ? cost increase doesn't do anything at all.

Nice article !
It was a good nostalgia.

Gratz everyone !
Also, I was more than happy that Anchorm4n wins too as if i won !
Madame Lazul is also in core set tho.
Only Tog is missing but seems like he is busy and sent Flik Skyshiv instead. :P
Maybe miniset ?
I wonder how Silk Stitching work. it doesn't say the word Deathrattle but that mechanic is obviously a deathrattle so I'm wondering that you can trigger it with deathrattle triggerers or not.
"Unity, precision, predictions !?" was cool.
but sorry demonxz this was perfection;
It is under Puzzlemaster Khadgar's card page. GJ darkjak !
Who doesn't like a handbuff-able Huffer !

and me to vice-versa
it should stay at 9 but should freeze all minions imo.
All elementals are good targets for Mes'Adune the Fractured.
Why did I reply a useless comment like this ? Because, i opened a Mes'Adune the Fractured yesterday and it just lies in my collection without any use.
Finally i can try some weird shenanigans with it.
No, I don't like to use it with big elementals like Ragnaros the Firelord! Sleet Skater is a more interesting target ! Even Triplewick Trickster is better !
I need an 11-cost spell now ! For Audio Amplifier ofc !
So the card drawn goes down to (0) if we wait enough. An interesting battlecry for sure, a handbuff that continues to last.

Cool card, for both its effect and for its art !
Mages are loosing Cold Case, so extra armor generation will be good. Not as aggressive as Cold Case but that card was broken anyways for what it does for its cost. I don't even know why they didn't nerf it.

If it was vice-versa, it would be meaningless if you don't want to proc cards like Rotface and it would be a warrior card that deals 1 damage three times that also can target friendlies then imo.
This feels so out of place like Purifying Power.
I'm starting to think that they might be a hint for mini-set, either mage will get some secret support while priest getting self-silence support in mini set or I'm halucinating and it is just team 5 is out of ideas.
