    The small body of Chillfallen Baron is both a downside and an upside: if it dies, you'll have one more corpse and you don't have to wait long for your second card.

    However, in that case, I wonder if you don't just run Bloodmage Thalnos (which will have the Undead tribe tag once patch 25.0 goes live), since its draws one less card for one less mana and has Spell Damage.

    Runeforging is insane

    Especially now that Blizzard showed us the new Frostmourne.

    Just from the top of my head, imagine stealing a Colossal: not only you'd resummon the main body, but all its appendages too!

    Body Bagger - 1 mana 1/3 that synergizes with Corpses: this card was printed to give the class an opener, so no way it doesn't see play.

    Runeforging - If I am not wrong, this is the cheapest weapon tutor we've ever received, in a class that should make good use of it. Another 5 start card.

    Corpse Bride - Assuming the summoned token doesn't have any other keywords, I am a bit hesitant.

    Malignant Horror - As things are right now, I am not sure you want a card that always consumes your Corpses, as there are other excellent ways to spend them (Defrost, Runeforging). On the other hand, this card is very sticky has the potential to snowball like crazy, so it's not bad by any means. It will come down to how easy you can generate 5 Corpses by turn 4.

    Chillfallen Baron - 3 mana draw 2, but the body is terrible: I am leaning towards "not good enough", but I have a feeling this won't age well.

    I remember seeing an opponent with 1,000 win DH portrait less than two weeks into DH’s release.

    Sheer madness: that is almost 100 wins a day!

    I still remember that I built an Anti-DH Demon Warlock with Kanrethad Ebonlocke and Enhanced Dreadlord for Taunts, Mo'arg Artificer and Nether Breath for Lifesteal gains, Doom Pact for even more healing (back then you could also target enemy Demons) and Aranasi Broodmother into Plot Twist for, you guessed it, more HP recovery; there was probably an Acidic Swamp Ooze too, since Aldrachi Warblades had 3 Durability hits on day 1.

    I remember facing something like 11 Demon Hunters in a row and, finally, I also remember that, despite all my deckbuilding efforts, I didn't have a positive winrate, which is mind-blowing if you think about it: you build your deck just to counter one, ignoring all the other matchups, and you still get steamrolled. AoO day 1 was a whole other level of madness.

    Definitely not the same! However, talking about three different sets, all of which are about Arthas and his ascension to the Frozen Throne, is bound to lead to some confusion (especially since they aren't already available, so it's all mind games): all I can say that is that I am glad we fixed it in just a handful of hours.

    Tess Greymane does not recast coins, so no: only the spells that come from The Sunwell will be repeated.

    Personally, I think I am going to flood Constructed with Death Knight since Day 1.

    I still remember when Demon Hunter was introduced back in Ashes of Outland: back then, I refused to play the class not because I didn't have the cards, but rather because I didn't want to be "that guy" and immediately infest ladder. Turns out Day 1 DH was lots of fun and ladder was mostly made of "that guy" players ahah.

    For this reason, I am not going to miss my chance this time around: I will make sure to tech my DK decks so that they'll align against whatever DK lists streamers are playing at the moment and I will grind the crap out of the Golden portrait!

    Arcane Quiver being a thing means that Arcane Hunter will receive massive support.

    However, this also means that Questline Defend the Dwarven District will receive new tools to choose from, which is a real shame. I really can't wait for that stupid card to rotate.

    A bit late at the party, but I managed to complete the achievement in one sitting - thanks for the guide Sinti!

    I think Arena's greatest purpose right now is to make Tavern Brawl look good.

    We mentioned it in the dedicated Dual-class Arena article.

    I agree with DragonDraena.

    Although getting to level 100 requires some dedication, it's also true that dailies and weeklies alone will get you there before the end of the expansion cycle. I suggest you claim your lvl 100 reward and then grind again once DK goes live.

    I think this problem would be solved by simply enabling in-game notifications regarding the end of the season.

    Other than this, I feel your pain...

    For some (mysterious) reason, Blizzard hasn't updated their gallery with ALL the cards revealed, but just a few of them - I do not understand why, but this is how things are.

    Since we (and others) sync our database with PlayHS' one, Scourge Rager won't appear here either, unless we manually add it.

    To be fair, I suspect the problem will be fixed once the reveal season will start, forcing Team 5 to update their gallery.

    The quests that appear in the first slot are part of a quest-chain; however, you only get one of those quests per day: the last one will appear tomorrow.

    Quite counterintuitive, I'll give you that.

    Shit is more convoluted that I thought, not gonna lie: a clarification video would've probably saved both of us some time.

    Yeah, now I see where and why I messed up: hopefully, I fixed the mistake. Thanks for pointing it out!

    Reborn minions do leave 2 Corpses in total.
