don't give up just yet! Truth be told I have been outof.snow for almost two weeks, but I have made it a habit to visit the site like 5 or 6 times a day and browse a bit which amounts to 5-10 snowballs. If I can do it, you can do it! Let's fight this out like real snowmen for the remaining week!
I only have strong feelings about a handful of players here...
Haaland is an obvious pick and I'm still mad he didn't get the golden ball
Bellingham for sure
Van Dijk has had an insane year and should defintely be in there
Same goes for Rodri
Kane has managed to produce a lot of goals in a mid team and even more of them at Bayern. I say he has more than earned a spot but probably won't get one because he's not meta enough in EAFC
I expect Frimpong to get in because he has been playing well enough to get noticed and in contrast to Kane should make for a strong meta card (at least when it comes to stats, his chem is another question)
The second silhoette definitely looks like Brann. Since he's very likely going to be the Demon Hunter / Warrior crossover legendary, I'd expect some kind of weapon related effect. Another powerful highlander condition would be cool but I'm not so sure about that one since Warrior isn't among the highlander classes in Badlands.
Hunter/Mage initially made me think "Secrets!" but I guess that's not going to happen because Hunter secrets cost 2 and Mage secrets cost 3 so for one of the classes playing these wouldn't be much of a secret after all... So I guess we're just going with good old damaging spells here. I'm fine with that, Halduron is one of my favorite cards from last year.
I'd love for Hunter/DK to be Deathrattle themed, be it as strong Deathrattle minion or an activator.
DH/Rogue would also fit weapon support that goes along with the DH/Warrior legendary mentioned above.
Rogue/Priest = more thiefing.
I'm pretty clueless about the rest though, do you guys and gals have any ideas for them or thoughts about my predictions?
So after having finished Stormlight 3 (awesome!!) I got a very cool surprise in the form of hardcover copies of the Skyward series as my Christmas presents! Guess I'm a Sanderson fanboy now :D And what can I say - I've finished the first volume in only 3 days! It's way easier to read and way more fast paced than Stormlight which is totally fine for me. I generally like switching between Sci-Fi and Fantasy as well as slower and faster plots and those two series really hit the sweet spot for me. Big recommendation!
I've rolled the credits on God of War: Ragnarok last week and all I can say is it definitely lives up to all the hype. What a ride.
For now, I'll finish up some side quests in GoW and play Hearthstone. Not sure what's next yet... maybe the last two Jedi games? Diablo IV? We'll see :-)
Both are cool ideas but I'd definitely go with the Crab here for two reasons:
The Crab art fits the azerite theme way better (as you've mentioned yourself)
Boar = Hunter in Hearthstone, with very few exceptions like cage head. So if you want to go with the boar art, I'd suggest making it a Hunter card with another effect.
Very cool series of articles, thanks for doing these!
For me, the stormwind meta in wild was a very bad time. Wild is the place where stuff is meant to be crazy, but the questlines just went too far. So, no I really wouldn’t want them to make a comeback. Seedlock is still very viable in wild and an absolute pain to play against. If I queue a control deck into seedlock, I usually concede on turn 1. On the bright side, I just got legend two months in a row with Questline Il’gynoth Demon Hunter.
That said, I totally get your feelings about flavour and the questlines incorporating a narrative… but for me, that only really works in mage, where I’m still enjoying a Questline deck that I have merged with the rainbow stuff that is currently used in Standard (Sif being the poster girl here) - as a casual meme deck, mind you
Flux! I'm all out of snow (guess I shouldn't have bought cosmetics for four digits 😬)... Can you please allow snowballs to be bought with other currency as well? Alternatively, I'll just start throwing goldballs *bonk
What a spectacle! Y'all are
I'd like to add The Witcher 3 to the list. Amazing soundtracks, especially on Skellige!
Hey Pezman,
don't give up just yet! Truth be told I have been outof.snow for almost two weeks, but I have made it a habit to visit the site like 5 or 6 times a day and browse a bit which amounts to 5-10 snowballs. If I can do it, you can do it! Let's fight this out like real snowmen for the remaining week!
Your friendly rival,
anchorm4n
Giving Windfury to Paladin is a terrible idea. Wouldn't be surprised if this got nerfed to 5 after a week or two.
Oh my god you've basically predicted the actual card!!
All aboard the snowtrain! Chooooochooooooo
Odyn will hate this :D
Congrats, Wailor!
That new theme is very cool and there are already some awesome submissions :-)
Shattered Reflections is going to be horrible with Eonar.
Also more Seedlock support?! Thanks, I hate it.
Happy and healthy New Year to you too! Glad to see you, it's been some time :-)

Usually online around 19:00 - 20:00 CET. Let me know if you're up for some fun games or just want to do these quickly!

Let's try some predicitons y'all!

Depends. At what point have I thrown enough snowballs at you that you stop being Demon and become a snowball yourself?
I’ve got a present for you all! Hint: It’s white, cold and round :D
