For me it was the urge to jam some Murloc Shaman at the start of Ungoro.
I had a blast just hurting people with Everyfin is Awesome and Old Murk-Eye. It was quite a fun meta to be in, until (broken record alert) Big Priest showed up and effectively killed most control strategies.
It depends on what you like to play. Big Priest can feel really powerful to play, but it can be a very polarising experience
Sometimes you will crush your opponent and sometimes you will feel powerless as your opponent crushes you.
Personally, that's why I've played under 20 games of BP. The deck can feel like a roll of the dice without much opportunity for counterplay.
If you can take the rough with the smooth then give the deck a shot. I probably wouldn't accept any friend invitations whilst playing the deck, though. ;)
A very strong card, but I think a deck based around this alone would need more. If zoo is strong in the next expansion, then I would bet this card will be bonkers. If zoo will be in a similar state as in RoS, then I'm not sure this card alone will save the deck.
I would presume, like others, that it'll be a legendary rarity card... Which means that (with 5 'no-duplicate' legendaries in the set) pack opening will be like Russian roulette for those who don't like highlander decks.
Personally I'm hyped to see this new card. I'm hoping it's neutral!
Also, side note, Arse2Mouse is an inspired username.
Surely... *surely* the full set has other cards that benefit highlander decks... Otherwise I can't see why they pushed this so hard with all the explorer cards.
After all, only original Reno had that restriction so its not like you can justify it based on flavour alone.
Cannot wait to smash some double Brann Reno hunter action though!
I've got amazon coins to use so yeah I will definitely buy the 50 pack bundle. The 19% discount is nice to have! Not sure I'd pay full price in British pounds.
I always wait until the last minute incase they have a "5% coins back" deal for the HS app. But they've not had that in like 2 years so... Live in hope, I guess.
It's interesting that every quest will come with a hero power reward. I really like this idea, since the opponent can't interfere with all your hard work (like Deadly Shot on a Galvodon...). The non-interactive element is a concern, perhaps. Will we see more hero power disruption this expansion?
Blizzard obviously found death knights to be rewarding, so I guess they're trying to find ways to introduce new hero powers without breaking Standard!
I hadn't seen that. I like it, although I expect it'll make the brawl feel slightly less special. I expect the deckbuilding brawls to be pretty monotonous by the end of the week when everyone's figured out the unbeatable combo.
Yeah I know what you mean. There's been a few Brawls lately where I've not been able to play as much as I wanted....so having a whole week is pretty nice.

Has there been that much drama?
At the risk of being unpopular...it's just one card reveal and the final reveal stream is in two days time.

Despite the comparison with The Caverns Below, Dark Pharaoh Tekahn doesn't have the same consistency or inevitability that Quest Rogue did.

The card doesn't seem that strong, though it is better than Piranha Launcher!
Gotta say I'm glad to see Blizz supporting OOC this way!
My favourite so far is Elise the Enlightened, mainly 'cause someone on reddit posted an amazing mill/OTK combo using her with Naturalize, Flobbidinous Floop and Twig of the World Tree! Can't wait to try that one out!
More silence priest support?
Edit: forgot /s
If you manage to stick it on board for a turn you could do some silly stuff with Magic Carpet and a load of 1-drops (chickens, as Thriss says above).
Probably only good in a board control meta though, and even then probably not that strong.
I'm not convinced this is great, but it does have some 10 mana otks such as the 36 dmg combo:
High Priest Amet
Power Word: Shield
2x Divine Spirit
Stonetusk Boar
Topsy Turvy
More consistent in wild with Shadow Visions etc. but perhaps a bit too slow.
High Priest Amet
Power Word: Shield
2x Divine Spirit
Stonetusk Boar
Topsy Turvy
For a neat 36 damage, yeah?
I can imagine this would be a fantastic tool in some Reno locks. Perhaps even core?
If this set is filled with these "removal/other effect on a stick" cards then maybe highlander decks in standard won't be that bad...?
This plus Spiritsinger Umbra and Baron Rivendare might just give me the ultimate value-gasm

Hunter's new hero power will be "Build a Dwarf: create a new minion from two random Dwarfs"

I dunno 'bout you, but this will be my sole mission for Day 1 of the new expansion /s
