It's not Kathrena and after having read the wiki I'm not sure if it's a cryptogram to be honest. :D
Hint: It's a card name and the number of letters in both words has not been changed. I would appreciate it if you would try to break the code instead of brute force guessing cards that have a matching number of letters though.
Lol that was more or less a blind guess because I couldn't think of another Standard card that summons 4 minions that attack immediately (I deduced these points from the hints).
Nice one, thanks for the write up! Any chance Hunter gets the Night Elf? Sometimes I wish that class was on the evil side just for some more bad assery.
I can't contribute much, but maybe we can go a little deeper in detail. I think it is the Warlock mercenary that creates something like a portal in the cinematic, with a big entity looking out of it. Summoning Demons again would be a bit boring so shortly after Willow, so what could she be doing instead? You say she's a Forsaken, so do you think Resurrect Warlock could be a thing?
You've got a point there, but there's also precedent in the Tyrande offer. It was also confirmed that they're thinking about adding older portraits and card backs to the shop after some exclusivity time. That argues for gold payment imho.
Interesting, I actually had not thought about the price. But since Darkmoon Races was 2.000 gold or 15 bucks I guess 2.000 would be a decent price for a Hero Portrait. Yeah, I think I'd pay up to 2.500.
Nice! Sylvanas was one of two heros I was really hoping for to return. I'd like her for my Deathrattle decks. Same goes for Lazul and the Scrying decks. Fingers crossed we'll be able to pay with gold!
I'd start out with Johnny, because there are only two anomaly cards in the game: Cosmic Anomaly and Arcane Anomaly. Assuming all the "fallen" have something in common, my first guess is that they are all "arcane" minions with the Elemental tribe. There are only six of them.
Tommy, who went against a blade, might be Arcane Tyrant who fought against Blade of C'Thun or Nightblade (I'll ignore Weapons for now, there are far too many)
So this is probably all wrong, but it was fun. My guess is that the person speaking the toast is the master of them all who is left with his servant, Arcane Servant.
safe backwards is "efas", turret backwards is "terrut". "efasterrut" = festeroot. The opposite of to combine = to split
I had been thinking of this card's effect the whole time because of the third line of the riddle, but I couldn't remember the name. I was falsely assuming it summons Treants or Ancients and therefore gave up the search and decided it must have been a custom card I was remembering.
We could read the second line backwards, then the beginning sounds like "safe a turn and combine". That could be almost any combo card... Temporus gives additional turns just like Open the Waygate. The general idea seems to be that we're looking for a Druid card though.
Okay, thanks for responding! I could craft the deck as it is, but that would deplete me of all my dust reserves... so... I know this isn't meant to be a tier 1 deck, but is it possible to have fun on ladder? How good is it against secret mage, Raza Priest and big priest? I would assume that Priest games are tough because they often run Sphere themselves and that's really bad for our win condition.
Hey, that's a very cool idea! My problem is that I'm missing quite a few expensive cards... one of them is Brann. His only targets are coldlight oracle, stitched tracker and Zeph, so is he really worth it (in this deck)? What could I substitute him with? Thanks for sharing!

Anyways, here's the next riddle. I have no idea if this is too hard but I've wanted to try something like this for a while.

Hm. There is Big Ol' Whelp with 5 attack for Billy; Illidari Felblade for Tommy; Cosmic Anomaly for Johnny; and the last one went to face (which hinted at a Hunter card?).
It makes sense I guess, but the hints were dearly needed.
Nagrand Slam?

Alright, so it is Cosmic Anomaly we're starting out with. I'll check for Spell Damage +2 then.
Billy is Celestial Emissary because he has 1 Health
Tommy could be Azerite Elemental who went against Gorehowl, one of the most famous blades in the game
Johnny is Cosmic Anomaly
And if I add the Elemental tag to the filter, that leaves only Imprisoned Phoenix. Is it that one?
I'd start out with Johnny, because there are only two anomaly cards in the game: Cosmic Anomaly and Arcane Anomaly. Assuming all the "fallen" have something in common, my first guess is that they are all "arcane" minions with the Elemental tribe. There are only six of them.
Billy, who headbutted a whelp and died, might be Arcane Artificer who went against Twilight Whelp
Tommy, who went against a blade, might be Arcane Tyrant who fought against Blade of C'Thun or Nightblade (I'll ignore Weapons for now, there are far too many)
Johnny is Arcane Anomaly (see above)
That leaves us with Arcane Devourer, Arcane Amplifier and Arcane Servant.
So this is probably all wrong, but it was fun. My guess is that the person speaking the toast is the master of them all who is left with his servant, Arcane Servant.
That's right!
A "basic enrage minion" is Gurubashi Berserker and the legendary convict is Leeroy Jenkins, whose last meal is chicken. Well done!
Nope.
Again, PopeNeia almost had it. Also: DestroyerR was right to ask if basic was important, it is.
Both are wrong, PopeNeia is closer though.
I know that makes it probably too easy, but yeah, it's "basic".
What do you get when you combine a basic enrage minion with a legendary convict's last meal?
Splitting Festeroot!
safe backwards is "efas", turret backwards is "terrut". "efasterrut" = festeroot. The opposite of to combine = to split

Fandral Staghelm?

I'm a WoW noob but aren't they chanting Garrosh's Battlecry? Is that a Horde thing?
