Flurry Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Mage Card - Flurry (Rank 1)

I think all that really matters is that the rank spells all cost 2 or less. Any higher and you'd always wait 'til you have 5 mana, but going lower is perfectly reasonable. Besides, there are still 4 more rank …

Flurry Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Mage Card - Flurry (Rank 1)

In this case, because HS is built to only let you choose 1 target per effect, so the Rank 2 and 3 versions wouldn't work as targeted spells. The alternative is to hit the left- or right-most minions, but perhaps …

GameSpark Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Rogue Card - Oil Rig Ambusher

There are lots of solid cards from the past it can be compared to, and even at 2 damage it still compares quite well. So at worst it is an OK card, and definitely not terrible.

Opinion on pokemon brilliant diamond and shining pearl?
Quote From Bluelights
*The story of Team Galactic is still pretty much the same, although fleshed out a bit more. (I would say the story of most pokemon games isn't that great)

TrumpSC Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Rogue Card - Yoink!

In the absence of hero power synergy I very much doubt it, but it is really not as far off as it might seem. The value of using a hero power twice varies, but it summing to 1 mana is …

TrumpSC Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Rogue Card - Yoink!

It probably won't be used competitively, but it's worth remembering that while the rogue hero power is really good, it is also actively detrimental if you have a proper weapon equipped and usually weak in the late game when you …

Platinum did a lot of heavy lifting for gen 4, I hope they take a lot from platinum. Mainly having more than 2 fire types in the regional dex..

Mercenary character speculation
Quote From AnAngryBadger

The leaked legendaries show a human paladin and forsaken warlock so looks like those are probably the mercs like you said

Yep. And I'm pretty sure the teaser zoomed in on a …

Blizzard Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Hunter Card - Tame Beast (Rank 1)

A dwarven hunter, a draenai priest, and a night elf(?) DH in Kurtrus? Things are looking pretty rosy for my mercenary predictions (mercenary-character-speculation), and those 3 were the least secure!

Demon Hunters Get a New Spell Mechanic in Forged in the Barrens - Sigils! Here's How They Work And What They Could Be

Competitive spirit still requires you to have at least 1 minion to trigger, so I assume it is not quite equivalent. Perhaps if DH gets a minion-buff sigil we'll be able to test it, but DH doesn't really buff minions …

Slow Site Reveals a New Forged in the Barrens Demon Hunter Card - Sigil of Flame

Ouch. I'm feeling the burn on this one, but I don't know if it's the card or Flux's sass!

New Demon Hunter Minion - Razorfen Beastmaster

I'm not too worried about it looking unusual for a DH card - all classes expand their toolkit by doing something they didn't before - I'm just disappointed it means DH is joining the club of deathrattle classes specifically. The …

We're Getting New Hearthstone Achievements With "Sweet" Rewards Based on Your Rewards Track Leveling

Good point. After I wrote it I realised there would probably be a big BG patch before the mini-expansion. I almost never play BG and usually ignore its updates, hence why I forgot about it. I'm sure someone will point …

We're Getting New Hearthstone Achievements With "Sweet" Rewards Based on Your Rewards Track Leveling

They didn't make it into patch 20.0, so no. I'd assume the "next major patch" will be the mini-set associated with the Barrens, but it could be something sooner.

The Return of Finja?
Quote From Koetti

On the other hand: it wouldn't be the only card that could have a comeback. There's people thinking that we'll see a new [card]Kazakus[/card], because of some artwork having a resemblance of his belt.

The Return of Finja?

I noticed that too. Without something like the Jade Lotus around to motivate ninja murlocs, I'm not sure what Finja would be doing in the Barrens though. Perhaps some themes/characters are going to be present from Gadgetzan (which isn't too …

Nerf or Typo? Blizzard's Updated Returning Decks for Hearthstone May Have Leaked a Change to Nitroboost Poison

Oil is also used on [card]Spectral Cutlass[/card] in Wild. Unless I'm forgetting something, weapons buffs aren't really used anywhere else because the other rogue decks either don't care much about weapons, e.g. mill, or use weapons primarily for their deathrattle, …

Nerf or Typo? Blizzard's Updated Returning Decks for Hearthstone May Have Leaked a Change to Nitroboost Poison

[card]Tinker's Sharpsword Oil[/card] is the better comparison than Deadly Poison, and that card still holds up today in Wild. Given how well Nitroboost Poison compares to Oil, even at 2 mana, I don't doubt it would remain very strong at …

Maiev Shadowsong, The First Rogue Hero Skin, Returns to Hearthstone via the Shop for 1000 Gold

Fair enough. Since you're consistent with your opinions on out-of-class heroes I can't fault you :)

I think beneath it all is a question of how to define a class. Are the abilities in the Warcraft games enough, or …

Maiev Shadowsong, The First Rogue Hero Skin, Returns to Hearthstone via the Shop for 1000 Gold

Since warden is not a playable class, insisting they rigidly follow characters' classes equates to not wanting Maiev as a hero portrait at all.

Yes she could be a priest based on her role during the War of the …
