Losing to Leeroy isn't fun i agree, but i feel like the reason Leeroy is so good is because there isn't much competition, as most other charge minions aren't well statted or too expansive on their own. (For example Hunter's never use King Krush unless it's from Dinotamer Brann) and Warriors GENERALLY use Grommash Hellscream instead of Leeroy as it's a bigger burst of damage.

Speaking of Grommash Hellscream if leeroy were to rotate out, i bet this card will be "The new Leeroy" (Even though it's a warrior card) people will complain about and this cycle will probably last until every charge minion gets rotated. After which they will complain about combo-esk cards like Malygos.

And even if they rotate it, what will be Leeroys replacement? Probably another trash card no one will use, and will most likely make the classic set even worse than it already is. Or a "Very original card" that is (Name): 6 attack. 2 health. Rush. Deathrattle: "Summon 2 1/1 (name of some tokens) for your opponent." (Jokes aside i think it would be some rush card as rush is pretty much the replacement of charge, and the HS team has shown that they really like the rush mechanic.)

My favorite moment was when battlegrounds launched! Playing battlegrounds is sometimes way more fun than standard. (And wild sometimes) And i love that they update it pretty regularly, which gives the mode a fresh feeling after every update!

The Hearthstone thing i'm looking forward to the most in 2020 will be the next expansion & the rotation. We will "lose" a bunch of regularly used cards, but the meta will shift a lot! Also i hope that Paladin finally gets soms real time on the spotlight by getting some good cards, after all [Hearthstone Card (Shirvallah the Tiger) Not Found] Will rotate as well.

(I definatly Will miss [Hearthstone Card (Tess graymane) Not Found] the most! I hope we will get a "replacement", that is not the SOU Rogue Quest.)

I'm inclined to think it doesn't count, considering sidequests and quests have different keywords and this card reverences the QUEST keyword... BUT the HS team is often inconsistent with this, considering Questing Explorer DOES works with sidequests, despite also only referencing the QUEST keyword... so will know when it drops i guess... 

Honestly, no matter if it does or does not work with Sidequests, they should make thing more clear by changing the effect text of older cards/this card to clear off future confusion.

Quest synergy? nice.

Battlecry for battlecry shaman, Check.

Taunt, and or removal: Check.

Welp do i need to say anything else? Pretty sure this will be a must-include for most quest decks. (Also it has a lot of synergy with old quest decks. Mainly the old warrior "Play Taunts" Quest.)

Pretty decent in standard.... BUT IN WILD IT'S PRETTY GOOD! After all there is some good silver hand stuff that has EVEN mana cost! 

Just think about it: Air Raid, Drygulch Jailor, Lightfused Stegodon, Crystal Lion, Level Up!.

And don't forget Air Raid has big synergy with everyones "Favorite" Sunkeeper Tarim. (The tarim combo is Generally better than double Air Raid + Level Up! because of Tarim's stats. This silver hand package might give rise to Even Paladin.

However this card alone in standard is actually pretty decent. its a 2 mana get 2 1/1 minions with taunt. and it has twinspell. If you were to compare Air Raid to Lost in the Jungle, than you see that Air Raid is a lot more flexible. Lost in the Jungle mostly sees play in aggresive decks. This will be the same for Air Raid BUT the 1/1s have taunt! making it kinda like a Mirror Image, which allows it to be played more defensive in a control deck. Yes Air Raid cost's more mana, but is a lot more flexible and allows you to double the total amount of silver hand recruits you can summon. I'm pretty sure were going to see this new card plenty of times!

4 mana fill your board with lackeys? auto-include in every lacky deck in the game. Best synergy obviously with Warlock because of Dark Pharaoh Tekahn. Everyone "Hyped" to see [Hearthstone Card (The Cavern Below) Not Found] 2.0? It has bad stats for a 4 drop, but it's effect makes up for it no problem. this card might even ressurect Corrupt the Waters shaman. (I honestly hope not, please no more shamanstone i beg!)

Looks like a "Reprint" of Gnomeferatu which is one of my favorite cards of all time. But unlike Gnomeferatu, Chaos Gazer gives your opponent the chance to actually play the card before it gets discarded.

This might be bad on paper, but most often your opponent might have wanted to save a card for later. Or a more realistic scenario is that your opponent has lets say 5 mana, and you hit his 4 drop. This means that your opponent has to use that 4 drop instead of putting down a 5 drop, or coin out a 6 drop. (Or just let that get discarded)

I think this card is pretty good overall, fits well in control warlock decks, but might actually fit into some aggro decks as well because of its decent stats, and as a way to annoy control decks, as control & combo decks usually have a bunch of board clears.

(It hits A CARD, meaning it can force out clears. Imagine playing this turn 9 against a priest, who might now debate if he/she should play their hit Plague of Death against a single minion or not, and after which you might play something like... warlock galakrond? Wait it's a demon, so it can actually be summoned by galakrond battlecry! this might probably be a bit of a boost to the stats you get from warlock galakrond's battlecry!)

Day: I lost count....

Game #: Lost count yet again.....

Opponent: Hundreds of Galakrond Shamans too many.....

Game after Game after Game..... Even in Classic... Decided to sell my soul and play the strongest Control Warrior netdeck.... To no avail.... Apparently according to statistics Galakrond shaman somehow has like 70%+ winrate against control warrior...... or like any control deck....

Can't wait till the nerfs!!! Aggro decks aren't supposed to easely waltz over control decks! It's supposed to be Rock-Paper-Scizzors (Aggro-Control-Combo)....

I don't get why people call the warlock galakrond bad... People say getting 2 1/1's is bad.... BUT THATS ODD PALADIN IN A NUTSHELL. I'm having trouble understanding why people call odd paladin a problem (Wild ofc) and the warlock galakrond bad. They basicly have the same hero power, for the exception of having a demon tribe instead of Silver hand synergies (Level Up!). Playing the warlock galakrond is basicly a reload. And Token Druid even used The Forest's Aid as a reload. Okay it doesn't work as good as Forest's aid, but it's a reload none the less... Maybe demon's rght now are just bad? I'm curious how well warlock galakrond functions in wild, where nearly all the really good demons are.

(This Galakrond HAS to be THE reason Doomguard was hall of famed 5 months ago)

Perhabs the reason warlock Galakrond is considered bad is because it gets outshined by Shaman Galakrond & Pirate Warrior? I truly hope the upcoming nerfs will make it so warlock galakrond gets some time to shine!

I honestly hope they give shaman the "Ros Rogue/ SoU Mage" Treatment by over-nerfing them into oblivion. I'm so tired of shamanstone... Honestly why did these nerfs take so long! Also hoping pirate warrior gets a nerf. The best way to nerf that deck i.m.o. is nerfing Ancharrr, as its the pillar of that deck. I hope control decks will actually stand a better chance after the nerfs.... (Honestly aren't Control decks supposed to counter Aggro decks? it feels like Aggro counters everything...)

Wait it has Raid the Sky Temple twice? i Didn't even notice that! 

Yeah Questing Explorer is a good addition to the deck! Nice early game card and some draw is always good. I will update the deck to include it, and to remove the duplicate quest card. :)

70 packs. 8 legendaries.

[Hearthstone Card (Ysera Unleashed) Not Found]

Talritha (the paladin leggy)

Murozond (first pack, first legendary = priest card like the last 5 expansions. Not complaining, i wanted this card!)

Flik Skyshiv

Nithogg

Zzeraku

Those were my 6 normal leggys, but i also pulled 2 golden legendaries:

Dragonqueen Alexstrasza and Nozdormu.

(Nithogg and golden Dragonqueen Alexstrasza were in 1 pack)

A golden Chenvaala from pre-order. About 1 legendary every 8,75 packs (ofc. Excluding the pre-order golden legendary.) Really lucky of ya ask me!

Also didn't completely fill in all the names, cuz i'm on mobile and i don't know the full names of the cards....

Golden Chenvaala, i like it!

Also opened up Golden Nozdormu and Dragonqueen Alexstraza from my 60 packs :)

Whoah that's a LOT of free stuff. Perhabs to compensate for the OP expansion, and Give f2p's a better chance? Anyways i hope they Will keep up all of this beautifull stuff!

So the upcoming solo content is AN ACTUAL ADVENTURE? Man i have kinda missed these, glad to see that one is coming back. Excited already for those new cards. Though on the other side, those cards will only be available if you purchase & play/beat the adventure with real money or gold, but hey at least no relying on pack RNG to get those cards.

Sylvanas is looking really good as a hero card, glas to see she's coming back as a limited time offer and not as some promotion thing. (Promotional thing as like, "buy WOW shadowlands and get HS hero Sylvanas." Kind of thing. Also really excited for Tyrande being FREE. This is an AWESOME gift from Blizzard! Finally no more playing boring Anduin. 

Those Echo nerfs are really good. Haven't faced those kinda decks so far while playing wild, but glad to know that i will never see them. 

The battleground chances look really good. Rafaam's hero power looks nuts. Strong effect for only 1 gold. Sylvanas & Edwin looks AMAZING too. Sylvanas looks really good when buying buff minions ("Battlecry: Give a minion....."). Most of the times you want +2/+2 of stats rather then getting 1 gold back by selling a buff minion. Edwin is insane in the same style of deck. Just buy 2 or 3 buffs. 3 in the best case, and give a minion +3/+3 for 1 gold. I'm just going to predict that Edwin will be nerfed pretty quickly, as it's effect is so easy to get and so strong. My way too early nerf prediction will be a cost increase to 2 gold. Calling it now!

Zephrys chances are nice! i always appreciate when they improve his AI. BUT now he can actually give you King Krush. This definatly makes being on 8 health a lot more scary when facing highlander decks! I like this change!

The Shirvalla change is pretty mayor if you ask me. Looks like counterspelling a big paladin spell won't set them back as much anymore... i don't know if i like or hate this change.

Edit: Wild packs are coming back with gold.... FINALLY I WANTED TO BUY THOSE PACKS WITH GOLD FOR SO LONG. Did eventually buy a few old gods packs with real money....(Really wanted the "free" C'Thun okay) but now i can buy those with gold!?! AWESOME now i can expand my wild collection a lot! And this might make it so more players actually play wild format! I only see positive things coming from this change!

And new players can get the free solo-modes like Frozen Throne & Dungeon Run! (Frozen throne is probably the best one for new players, because of the free deathknight hero card after beating the first chapter, and then Dungeon run really helps them understand the game a lot more! It helped me improve at least after coming back after i quit during NAXX)

Welp looks like we found our must include in every deck for the coming year, and IT'S NOT EVEN A LEGENDARY this time!

Great minion, nice removal and it's neutral. 

(Looks at card again....) WAIT IT'S A 4 MANA 8/8 NEUTRAL. i kinda miss the days where a 4 mana 7/7 was considered OP. This expansions powerlevel is off the charts! Looking kinda forward to it!

Also Calling this a 5 Star card would be understating the cards powerlevel. 

Interesting card, might see play in Battlecry Shaman. (So they can "Counter" Mirror matchups) It's fair statted but making hero powers cost 1 more isn't that good. BUT it is a good arena card.

TRUTH IS FOUND IN DEATH!

This card is INSANE. Prince Keleseth BUT BETTER, this time no restriction. Okay cards cost 1 More, and it maxes at 10 mana. This "Downside" isn't that bad. AND IT'S 0 MANA. 0 Mana cards are ALWAYS good, mainly with Gadgetzan Auctioneer. This card fits in nearly all druid archetypes. It's just that good.

Unlike all the gimmiky same style cards from previous expansions, like drakkari trickster, this actually is mostly beneficial to you, AND you basicly control how you can use it. I feel like it's a must include for ANY "Big" or "Recruit" Deck. it let's you discount something like Collosus of the moon, and makes your opponents card expansive AF. It's a bit high rolly but it's a great card anyways.

Chronobreaker seems bad to me, it doesn't have great stats and the deathrattle means that it's up to your opponent to decide how to control it. It does feel better to play AGAINST, but it probably feels bad to play yourself.

However this card will get generated by Priest Galakrond hero power, so you don't need to put this in your deck. Which is the best thing about this card if you ask me.

Kaahrj is definatly the card i'm pulling a gold version of because of my pre-order, and the normal version is the one i'm pulling from my first 10 packs. CALLING IT NOW. i always pull Priest legendaries first, and i feel like this time won't be different unfortunatly.... (Pls Blizzard, just let me pull anything else... it's been this way for 6 expansions in a row now)

Onto the card itself. It depends on your opponent, but if you have deathrattle synergy you might be able to do some shenanigans with it. Worst case it's a turn 3, 3 mana 3/3 with deathrattle: summon like a 2/3 or 3/3. Unfortunatly it's a fresh copy and not a full on copy. If it was a full copy it would be an AMAZING tech card against any buff styled deck.
