    That is rather strange: I double checked the code I got from the player, and it does feature Hand of A'dal, which shouldn't happen.

    Edit: replace Hand of A'dal with Blessing of Kings, which seemed a decent inclusion to me.

    Thanks for the suggestions! The fact that you motivated them is great too

    There is no way I cannot agree with you. I like this iteration of Control Warrior because it actually wants to take the board at some degree (N'Zoth, God of the Deep, Overlord Saurfang, Rattlegore).

    I think that the best Control Warrior list is yet to be figured out. I personally like CW to be back in the meta without being utterly oppressive as it was in Rise of Shadows, but I am looking forward to tomorrow's VS meta report to see what mistakes I made in the last week lol

    This Avalon guy sure found some spicy lists, and that Aesan guy is no less. Imma hit 5 stars on this article. Keep up the good work guys!

    To be fair, the analysis was aimed more to Standard than to Wild - and given the Standard's card pool our assessment is correct, at least for now.

     

    Wild is... yeah, Wild. Stealer of Souls is pretty absurd over there, I definitely agree.

    I respectfully disagree. Paladin may still be the best class after the mini set, but not by a wide margin.

    Yep, that "of" was a small typo that made the phrase incomprehensible - it is now fixed.

     

    But yeah, my thoughts were: "what if they either make it a 2 mana draw a card or a 2 mana give +2/+2?" -> five seconds have passed --> "nhaaa that would be such a stupid change"

    Oof, that is some bad luck! However, 7 wins is more than enough to break even!

    Quote From Pezman

    Why is there no matching card for EVEN minions? This bothers me so much.

    Just wait for the next expansion, when we'll receive Even the Scales.

    Yes, I called it.

    You'll never ever draw it because of Sphere of Sapience.

    I think there are very different layers of random.

    One think is Palm Reading into Renew into Raise Dead into Venomous Scorpid.

    Another is Apothecary Helbrim and these Adventurers.

    With no RNG effects at all, we'd be playing with pretty much vanilla minions, which would bore you out fairly quickly.

    Really? Because I don't think so.

    While Refreshing Spring Water and Runed Orb (as we specified in the article) are the only exceptions, the rest of the set has been quite disappointing for Mage.

    The only Mage deck that currently sees play is No Minion Mage, which is decreasing in popularity day by day.

    Thus the shortest end of the stick.

    There's no better feeling than clapping an uninteractive deck like Weapon Rogue.

    Fuck Swinetusk Shank and fuck Self-Sharpening Sword

    I am pretty sure that they won't fool around with Shaman for the next few releases: they are perfectly aware that the class is not in the best position ever.
