Lothraxion the Redeemed is a New Paladin Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

Firstly, why is Lothraxion at the Darkmoon Faire? It is related to neither the Light nor the Legion. And what has he got to do with the Silver Hand? I'm not sure why they're intent on shoehorning actual pally characters …

Grand Empress Shek'zara is a New Rogue Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion
Quote From Koetti

Sorry for my Mistake!

No worries. There is nothing wrong with being wrong. All that matters is that people are willing to change their mind when more evidence presents itself :)

I think the point that AngryShuckie is making is about the PROBABILITY that a card shows up in the options, not whether it’s DISPLAYED more than once.

Fire Breather is a New Warlock Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

There are 2 aspects here:

  1. Warlock is a class designed to have strong AoE cards, which in this case you can either interpret as them having a lower cost for the same effect, or paying a smaller penalty …

Grand Empress Shek'zara is a New Rogue Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

I might be misunderstanding how the test was conducted, but it sounds like Shadow Visions was offering 1 Jade Idol, and 1 of each of the other spells each time. If so, that doesn't say anything about the odds of …

Grand Empress Shek'zara is a New Rogue Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

I think the trouble is he was balanced around [card]Preparation[/card] + [card]Academic Espionage[/card], which was completely needless since late game combos like that are never relevant in rogue meta decks. If he just cost 5 or 6 instead he could …

Grand Empress Shek'zara is a New Rogue Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

Agreed. Having a board, hand and deck full of the adorable little hoppers is worth all the hours you put in to get there.

It's a shame that Pogo Rogue is the only deck I have been able to …

Grand Empress Shek'zara is a New Rogue Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

I like that Blizzard is establishing a precedent of giving rogue mantid leaders in Old Gods sets, with [card]Xaril, Poisoned Mind[/card] the first time around. Its a small thing but is a nice touch nonetheless.

As for the card …

You also end up drawing 6 other cards too because of how the Casts when drawn keyword works. I'm not sure what happens if one of those draws draws a teddy bear before Shek'zara draws it, so 6 might just …

Day 2 of Madness at the Darkmoon Faire Card Reveals - All 10 Cards!

In fairness, when a meta is slow af rogue doesn't need survival tools. Slow rogue decks are pretty much always control killers, they just need good control classes to push aggro out of the meta for them :)

New Paladin Minion - High Exarch Yrel
Quote From BloodMefist

.... Also, man, the Paladin legendary characters are feeling really out of place. Turalyon doesn't make a ton of sense in Scholomance, let alone as a professor, and Yrel has little to nothing to do …

Ticket Master is a New Rogue Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

An important correction: playing 'casts when drawn' cards does not draw a card. That got bundled up with the keyword, and since you are not casting it when drawing it, it won't draw anything. So if you ever need to …

New Rogue Minion - Ticket Master
Quote From KANSAS

It's not bad. A decent 3-drop that can provide some free stats later in the game. And with cards like [card]Secret Passage[/card], I don't think rogues will have a particularly hard time drawing those teddy …

The Nameless One is a New Priest Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

I guess it's best for yoinking the opponent's strong effects/deathrattles rather than being great synergy with your own cards, since if you wanted to silence your own minions, then you wouldn't want it to turn into an un-silenced version. It's …

Clutch of Yogg-Saron Card Back is Now Available in the Hearthstone Shop

The Pandaria card back is the only non-competitive one that I would be a little uneasy about them bringing back. I'm sure I'd get over it very quickly, but as the first it does hold a special position even if …

New Rogue Minion - Ticket Master

To quote Cortana in Halo 2: "It's not the most original plan, but at least we know it will work."

More flavourfully, it looks like rogue has a strong teddy bear theme going, so I'm mentally preparing for a …

Revenant Rascal is a New Warlock Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

Similar cards in the past have destroyed one the mana crystals you used to pay for them, so it should never cost you 4.

Prize Plunderer is a New Rogue Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

That's a good shout. Thanks. A part of me wants them to have gone silly with it and the cards you play give you hits on target (rather than just shots), so you get a bigger toy the more cards …

Prize Plunderer is a New Rogue Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

Power-wise it is clearly solid, but perhaps unlikely to make it into meta decks. I'm keen to see how its official name manages to tie together the effect, pirate tag and artwork, because so far they all feel disconnected.

Hammer of the Naaru is a New Paladin Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Darkmoon Faire Expansion

I'm not saying there is no power creep in here, but when comparing class cards to cards in neutral or other classes it becomes very unclear how to define it. In this case, we could ask whether Paladin is designed …
