I'm not sure the restriction on Walk the Plank is really enough to justify reducing it to 3 mana though, since you normally try to kill minions as soon as they are played and they are undamaged anyway. It also …

[card]Deadly Poison[/card] is getting the Nature school? I'm glad they're only using natural ingredients, but does it really count as nature magic? I guess they have to stretch a bit to give rogue and warrior any spells with magic …

I guess dormant minions were one take on that. You could also include cards like [card]Loatheb[/card] and [card]Chaos Gazer[/card]. They have also done it via hero powers in solo content.

Coming to think of it, [card]Metamorphosis[/card] already set a …

I just don't understand why equality gets nerfed from 2 to 4 mana when used in aggro paladin screwing any chance of control paladin(unless you play braindead libram), but warlock gets plague of flames.

Finally, I don't think we know much about when the next rotations happens. It sounded like the Barrens set will be out whenever it is ready, which could be anywhere …

Blizzard using STS as the reference point is more than enough justification for the community to do the same. Plus, there are still enough unknowns about Mercenaries that it's not worth worrying too much about what game it will be …

it's possible to buy the bundle til march 22nd. This gave my assumption about the launch ...

Ah, good catch!

Normally I would agree that that is good evidence that it …

While you are right that STS is not unique in the aspects it shares with (what we know about) Mercenaries, that doesn't stop it being the/a primary influence. Being an influence doesn't require you to have actually invented the game …

I don't think we've heard any more about the release date since this Q&A: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/2600-dean-ayalas-community-qa-4-classic-set-rework-teaser-craftable-heroes-possible-march-expansion-2v2-rewards-track. Based on that, (late) March is possible but don't be surprised if it is released in April instead.

There's a similar lack of …

Quote From DestroyerR

BTW There’s also some art shown in a Mercenaries reveal confirming Vol'jin, Ragnaros and Gruul as Mercenaries

Sure, and the official press kit (https://blizzard.gamespress.com/Hearthstone-BlizzConline-Press-Kit) shows art for the 3 tiers …

But that's not even close to the original card. He's being tuned for balance purposes, not completely reworked.

I suspect it is simultaneously a hint at her proficiency with many poisons, and a hint at her accessing cards from other classes (light green = hunter, light blue = mage etc).

By the looks of it she's been wearing that tabard in WoW for ages, so I'm not sure the connection to the Black Flame is a HS Easter Egg as much as implicit canon.

Then again, this is the …

I love this kind of posts and this one is pretty well constructed, well done!

I think that you are right with almost everything; as you said before, I think the 10 mercenaries will …

Before you read my response, I want to acknowledge how tough the past year has been on many/most people. My answer is not intended to belittle that at all. In fact it is more interested in raising questions than imposing …

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, …

He definitely specified Wrath and Swipe, yeah. No shame in missing that though; it's impressive you got info down as fast as you did!

The question had asked specifically about skins using/referencing characters from outside the Warcraft universe, e.g. the Three Kingdoms ones we got recently. The main point in Ben's reply was really that they were open to it so long as it …

Speculation is always fun, so I couldn't resist doing a bit of sleuthing when I heard about the new 'mercenary' characters we'll be seeing. This thread is primarily about the characters that will appear as Legendary minions in constructed, but …
