I admit I considered Pavel's reference so obvious that I didn't bother explaining it too much, but I guess what is crystal clear to me may not be the same for other people. Definitely a mistake on my side: will fix it immediately.
Yeah, that is basically it. It is definitely a bit disappointing given that other champions share a deeper bond with their cards (Firebat and Fiery Bat and Hunterace and Ace Hunter Kreen), but that's what we got...
Yeah, but as you said it is a too limited combo: if Lazul's Scheme synergyzes only with Cabal Acolyte then it's not that great of a deck inclusion. On the other hand, if more synergy cards pop up...
The problem with Lazul's Scheme is that, while it can go infinite, it is a terrible topdeck and needs to scale before being useful.
However, you'd never want to keep it in the mulligan against Aggro because, by itself, it doesn't do anything if not saving you 2/3 damage to the face.
On the other hand, Lazul's Scheme costs 0, so you can play it with Cabal Acolyte on curve and that doesn't seem a shabby play at all. We'll just have to see if Priest will have better plays or not.
I think this card is pretty good: it pushes both DiscoLock and ZooLock at the same time. If only Grim Rally were still in [Hearthstone Card (Standard) Not Found] this card would be even better, but for now EVIL Genius and Unstable Felbolt are more than enough.
Moreover, Eggs are generally good with Imprisoned Scrap Imp, so I think this unit definitely has potential.
Despite their actual viability, I love cards that require positioning: if it's a buff, you must play while thinking about your future moves; if it's a removal, it is your opponent that must keep it in mind.
If you fall trap into one of these cards you can't blame anyone but yourself, and that's why I like them so much: they reward constant thinking while playing the game.
I think that one thing is exaggerating and overreacting to everything - this is quite inappropriate and may result embarrassing to the viewers.
On the other hand, you have to sell Blizz's new toys, so any sort of information regarding whacky combos or cool interactions helps the stream a lot, because you fill the silence between each play with interesting stuff that makes you want to see more.
Kripp is too chill - borderline boring - when it comes down to this topic: it's okay, you can't say [Hearthstone Card (River Crocolick) Not Found] is the best card in the world, but he's not a top tier streamer if we're talking about sending positive vibes.
Happy about us getting a date, a bit less about knowing that Kripp will be the guest.
Nothing personal against him (the fact that he's not a constructed player is a valid but not mind shattering argument), but he's not my cup of tea when it comes to hype up new stuff and showcase new mechanics. There are many other streamers (mainly Kibler, but I would totally see Regis being there) that are much better at that and that I'd like to see.
However, Kripp guarantees high viewership due to his popularity, so I guess that one helped a lot in the decision process.
I think Teron is okay: it has anti-synergy with Magic Carpet, but if you don't have the latter it procs your deathrattles and gives you the original minions back (and buffed).
Anka, the Buried is not a tier 1 Legendary at all, but this is a tempo deck centered around cheating big deathrattles: if you don't have Anka, you have no reasons to run a lot of other cards ([Hearthstone Card (Teron goriefiend) Not Found], Scrapyard Colossus, Cursed Vagrant, Anubisath Warbringer and probably even Magic Carpet: in the end, without Anka you'd just build classic Galakrond Rogue).
I understand that it looks fun and you'd like to try it (I've played some games myself and yeah, it's fun), but I suggest you to craft Anka only if you're not on a strict budget: she doesn't really see play outside of the deck or in Wild, so that would not be the best investment ever for your dust.
Carpet Rogue is actually a Legend worthy list: I even have some stats (18-8 with a 69% winrate) I found on the internet, but unfortunately I lost the screenshot of the player I took the list from and therefore I wasn't able to give him credit :(
Yeah, someone *cough* really whiffed on the translation. Quite unprofessional I might say, but in the end we got it right ;)
I don't care how much time it will take you: I would double craft it in golden.

Cogmaster's Wrench from GvG
I've always thought that Finders Keepers was a decent, or at least fun, card, just like Blazing Invocation and Journey Below: maybe the Overload (1) was a bit of an overkill.
I think this card is pretty good: it pushes both DiscoLock and ZooLock at the same time. If only Grim Rally were still in [Hearthstone Card (Standard) Not Found] this card would be even better, but for now EVIL Genius and Unstable Felbolt are more than enough.

Well Brawl doesn't specifically destroy any minion, but it works.
I guess stuff like Combustion and Soul Mirror could work

Apparently, Murlocs have a language of their own

Aye someone actually nailed it: here's your well played.
Fair point: agreed.
Looking forward to your reaction to the upcoming Scholomance Murlocs sprinkled here and there with no apparent reason
