1,725 totalGreat nuggets of information as always. I dread to think what it all means for the timeline though if all of these guys are appearing in the same place at once...
It's not really related to lore, but I …
I don't know about it being disappointing, since expectations and reality are often misaligned, but I do agree the low number of high rarity cards means anyone who hoarded packs in anticipation of the mini-set should seriously consider just using …
No. I am saying HoFing Coldlight Oracle because burning lots of cards is unfun, was perfectly consistent with continuing to print small-scale disruption cards.
I agree with you regarding Tickatus being printed, but that is about it.
I was very strongly against Tickatus in the thread calling for its nerf earlier, so I go into this answer trying to carefully sidestep hypocrisy. Here goes...
I think it is always a question of scale, i.e. how many …
I don't really know what to say, but everything about the card puts a big smile on my face.
Quote From SLima It's okay. There are some really terrible rolls (Guardian Animals and Commencement, mainly) but it will generate something useful most of the time. Five mana is a little bit costly so she might not see …
Quote From GoliathTheDwarf ... when you have to stay within the flavor theme of the set.
This point is pretty significant I think. Aside from GvG every expansion has been pretty well tied to the …
I took a look through the existing Shaman legendaries and... I have to predict we won't see any obvious candidates at all. Since Neptulon in GvG, they have only had 1 notable character from WoW lore: [card]Lady Vashj[/card]. And she's …
Right, but the very principle of cards with high reward for a deck restriction (e.g. highlander, odd/even, pure pally) only makes sense when the reward multiplied by the number of such cards in the deck is comparable to the price …
I'm going to be the 'class identity bore' and hope a possible priest-rogue card would not help with either tempo or AoE. Classes always become a problem when they have no serious weaknesses, so it was good that the pairings …
Hmm. Did Solarian die during the Puzzle Box? I don't remember whether she follows the rule that she stops if she dies (some similar cards do, others don't).
I haven't noticed that. Do you have any screenshot evidence? Solarian's battlecry in the game history bar should show all the spells cast by both her and Puzzle Box, so you should be able to count 15 spells if she's …
Quote From meisterz39 anyone who has been saving up packs and is now instead going to buy the cards this way, saving the packs feels kind of dumb in retrospect. There's no loss of value, of course, but …
It is fine thematically, but horrid in practice since basic hero powers are meant to be things you can just use when you have spare mana. If it discarded something it would be a liability to any slow archetype, essentially …
Your POV on card design being the real problem sounds like it underestimates the importance of the surrounding class. While there's a handful of dangerous cards that would play out pretty much the same in any class (e.g. Puzzle Box), …
There's an argument that card draw is more 'essential' than direct face damage, and that they can therefore be treated differently. There's also the fact that priest kept [card]Mass Dispel[/card] despite their card draw being cut back substantially.
But …
I have always been a pessimist when it comes to dual-class constructed. It's fine in Arena or Solo stuff, but as soon as you give players complete freedom with deck construction you open up Pandora's box when it comes to …
They wanted to remove face damage from priest, so Shadowform was always going to be HoF'd last year. Certainly it wouldn't have been buffed and left in Standard, even if that would have been fine for game balance.
I'm …
If it follows what physical card games do, then resurrecting a minion would take it out of the graveyard, so minions won't multiply by being resurrected multiple times. They can still multiply by copies being summoned, e.g. with [card]Shadow Essence[/card], …
