There's lots of comparable cards, either as 1 mana discover something spells with no body, or 1 mana 1/1 (or 1/2 in the cases of [card]Pharaoh Cat[/card] and [card]Sky Raider[/card]) minion that adds something randomly to your hand. These are …

What a strange choice of day 1 reveal card.

Maybe goes in some sort of inner fire deck?

I can't imagine it going anywhere else when northshire cleric exists.

Northshire …

Nice catch, though I think it is more likely there are 3 legendaries per class (1 single class, 2 dual class), otherwise there's a huge reduction in the number of legendaries (since all the dual classes together only make 10) …

You can give Wand Thief a pass, since mage and rogue both have a major focus on resource generation (I'm not sure why Iksar didn't include rogue alongside priest and mage since nobody doubts burgle rogue is a thing). In …

Priest only pairs with paladin and warlock. I guess a priest/pally weapon is possible, but I don't expect to see it.

I think he's saying they both institutions that are a little more rotten on the inside than they try to claim, to put it lightly. Of course that's true to varying degrees for many (probably most) governments around the world, …

Yes. I think it is basically a quick way of writing "Battlecry: the next spell you cast (this turn?) also does X".

You can bet we'll be seeing a few dual-class weapons then. Rogue/warrior and warrior/paladin are particularly likely looking at the class combinations.

It's not really like running cards from different classes, since they can just make sure the potentially game breaking effects don't appear on the shared cards. E.g. the rogue/mage one we've seen does something both classes already do anyway.

I reckon it'll be Thursday at the earliest. I don't think blizz would have two significant events in the game (major nerfs and expansion reveal) hitting on the same date, …

Right, but your point revolves around matters where they are making decisions that make people less happy. Those should absolutely be called out, but they were not part of the thought experiment. That was intended to be more abstract and …

I think part of the timing is simply the result of their approach to Demon Hunter. As that class has been slowly brought in line, problematic cards elsewhere have become easier to identify. I have no doubt some of these …

In fairness Paladin and Shaman are the two classes that have seen buffs this expansion cycle so you cannot call them out for not buffing them now. We should recognise that all classes are weak in certain metas, even with …

I looked into the numbers and it is true that big dragons (16+ total stats, e.g. 8/8 or 4/12 or 12/12) make up a higher fraction of them in standard (32.6%) than in wild (24.7%). These numbers give:

• …

Those costing 1 when you have 7+ mana to play with will often not be very important. It is not like the early turns where Backstab costing 0 or 1 mana makes the difference between playing a minion and not.

There is still a whole month before the expansion comes out so I wouldn't expect to see any news about it for another week or so, based on how late they have been announced lately. It is most likely the …

Yeah, I'm one of Burgle Rogue's biggest fans and even I feel dirty playing [card]Spectral Cutlass[/card], so I normally stick with [card]Bazaar Burglary[/card] instead. That way no one feels bad just because the opponent either does or noes not have …

When life gives you lemons and a leaf blower, then I guess it is time to make a fresh and zesty mortar cannon. It's not what either was meant for but it does, erm, something.

Thus the joy of …

What the class was imagined to be was, aggressively stated minions, with powerful card draw options, and clears minions using the hero via weapons etc. Its weak to board clears, have weak card …

I'm always super skeptical about dual-class constructed HS, because unlike other TCG/CCGs its balance is driven entirely by the classes being separate. Plus I'm a strong believer that classes should always have major weaknesses, which is a feature that dual …
