That's certainly the cycle we have been used to since Frozen Throne slowed things down by giving super powerful late game tools (most notably hero cards), but the reverse was true for pretty much the entire time between Naxx and …

I think it is simply that old decks are still legal (i.e. you could still make the same deck with the SA card pool), so there was no need to reset them.

I think it is because your old decks are still legal in the current arena rotation. The reason they had to end runs before (and hence give out arena tickets) was because the pool of cards changed such that old …

While I agree it is underrated, Cursed Disciple was only used in constructed in [card]Jungle Giants[/card] druid, which itself used it for the super niche reason that it was two 5 attack minions in 1 cheap card (cheap in the …

While I agree Spectral Cutlass was underestimated (largely because there were few burgle rogue players that existed prior to Witchwood that had enough experience to even begin to assess it), I was surprised to not see Genn and Baku representing …

The new combo cards ([card]Coerce[/card], [card]Wand Thief[/card] and [card]Brain Freeze[/card]) are all great to get, making the standard pool actually pretty solid on the whole. There are a couple of duds certainly, but I wouldn't put [card]Headcrack[/card] or [card]Perdition's Blade[/card] …

They kind of did with [card]Coerce[/card], where the combo effect doesn't do anything unless the target is undamaged.

Aside from weapons (and by extension pirates), warrior and rogue really don't have very much in common. Warrior has lots of taunt, armour, AoE, and an interest in minions being damaged, while rogue is expressly given none of these (having …

Good read as always. I think [card]Instructor Fireheart[/card] is also a living re-imagining of the WoW boss Instructor Chillheart.

Which armour are you referring to? Her scarlet crusade clothes in [card]Infiltrator Lilian[/card], or her more usual, darker armour in the [card]Forsaken Lilian[/card] token and the old [card]Lilian Voss[/card] card? Or both?

If we do get her as a …

Regarding the long anticipated rogue hero, my current best guess at the Scholomance solo content is that we will follow Lilian Voss infiltrating the school and revealing its dark secrets, and that there will be a Lilian hero portrait to …

I'm loving the flavour text alongside the artwork, especially on the [card]Spectral Delinquent[/card] token. She got killed by the mimic (very minor callback to [card]Toothy Chest[/card] and the mimic in the top-right corner of the K&C game board), but took …

It is a nice followup to turn-2 Hero Power. But I don't see why anyone would play this when [card]Deadly Poison[/card] exists. The only way this is better than Deadly Poison is that it can …

As someone who always passes on learning Python properly because C serves my purposes better, I confess I wore a smug smile when I read that one.

I expect Mana Reservoir will actually be one of the better picks. It hasn't been used so far because decks haven't been very interested in spell damage, so they only use it when the spell damage minions have board presence …

I think they're all meant to reduce the cost of the card type they discover, it just happened that the druid one was spells.

I'm opening them first, but I don't think it makes much difference because apparently they don't have pity timers. I'm only doing it first because I always craft the rogue legendaries golden before I open packs to avoid opening non-golden …

Equality + 3/2 + Whirlwind + an awkward combination that forces you to destroy your own board where Equality doesn't, and/or leaves a Whirlwind up for your opponent to choose to activate when it suits them = 3 mana.

Given how little he costs, I'm willing to bet that deathrattle is more of a liability than it looks. It is too slow to be used to kill off the opponent's minions the turn you play him, so that still …

I'm glad they were willing to say something on this. I appreciate it only leaves you with +1 card in hand, but at the same time shaman is a jack-of-all-trades class so it cannot be difficult to find an effects …
