I like the Valeera and Jaina ones, but i'm not sold on the other ones. So you get one of these every 200 rewards track levels overall? Pretty sure i'm going to get one the second they get added. (Got like rewards track level 150ish last pass, and i'm at lvl 75ish on the current rewards track.) Hmm, i'm already have the tier 1 Valeera Skin, so i think i might get the tier 2 jaina one. (Considering i don't really like the tier 1 jaina skin tbh.) But whatever, if the Tier 5 Valeera skin has a really cool animation/effect* on the portrait itself i might just get it instead of the Jaina one.) Kinda happy Jaina/Valeera get good skins, because i personally don't really have alternate portraits for them. (Never got Medivh because i dislike that portrait/voicelines, and Maiev got boring after a couple of years of only using her.)

*Here we only see the portraits without any of the animations on it, so perhaps some of the bad looking portraits look way better with the animations when you see them in-game. 

Interesting Quilboar, some also are just great in non-Quilboar decks. Seems like a fun minion type to play around with!

(Also it seems like my prediction that Brann and Shudderwock are good with Quilboars is probably pretty accurate.)

Quilboar seem like an interesting tribe. Blood Gems are basicly Mukla's banana's but more interactive than just "play banana on minion", blood gems look a lot more interesting because you have to strategise around them. Do i play them immediatly on a minion, or do i save them for when you have a Quilboar card that gives additional effects. 

The bad thing i can already predict about Quilboars so far (May change depending on the other cards and new heroes) is the inconsistancy of getting Blood Gems. It might be too hard to get those Blood Gem giving Quilboars, considering you need to: 1. Find Quilboars, which might be pretty hard depending on your RNG. (I think Quilboar stuff is boosted first few weeks, so this rather kicks in after the next big patch.) 2. Blood Gems are pretty nice, people might just buy the Quilboars just to give +1/+1 to a minion without a tribe, or minions that are kinda hard to buff?

Two heroes i already know will be very good with Quilboars are: Brann Bronzebeard, because his heropower can find the Quilboars that give Blood Gems with a battlecry. And obviously Shudderwockwoke can also use Quilboars that have a battlecry very well. Of course this is just me thinking that Blood Gems are mostly given by battlecries, but there is always the possibility we'll get a "Deathrattle: add a Blood Gem to your hand" Quilboar. (Kind of a re-print of the tavern 3 minion that has "Deathrattle: add a coin to your hand".)

I'm very excited about the next patch, seems like a fun time to play battlegrounds again!

Edit: Now that 3 minion types WONT be in a game, this will make battlegrounds even more diverse. That's really nice, personally i prefer the games where you can have more succes with "Bad tribes/heroes" because Murlocs/Elementals are excluded! :)

Against Aggro/tempo/burn: i'll only target Sethekk Veilweaver with Renew either when i'm already ahead and want to generate some clears, or when i can tell that my opponent probably has a bad hand. (Can easely tell that if my opponent has a bad turn 1-3.)

Against Control/slow decks/mirrors: I'll do that when i want to try start a chain, considering healing health with Renew isn't as important in this matchup. (And if i have the mana to start a chain of course.)

Against OTK: When i'm 100% sure my opponent is an OTK deck, and i don't have Mindrender Illucia ready/in hand, i'll 100% cast Renew on Sethekk Veilweaver whenever i can, in order to try to find some kind of spell that can help me survive. 

well that were pretty much all the scenario's where i personally cast Renew on Sethekk Veilweaver. (Some of which you already mentioned, like "- Despirate for a clear") 

Personally i don't think casting Renew on Sethekk Veilweaver is a misplay... most of the time. Sure you "trade a card you put into your deck for a random one" but Renew also discovers a card, so the random card from Sethekk Veilweaver can rather be seen as a "extra chance" to get something you want IF your discover was bad. Perhabs those priests you have been facing were despirately looking for boardclears or buff spells for Sethekk Veilweaver? (In my experience, Sethekk Veilweaver loves only giving AOE spells, and almost no buff spells..)

The only real situation where i think this is a misplay is when your casting Renew on Sethekk Veilweaver on turn 3 against a FACE Hunter or Token Druid that have a full board of minions ready to target your FACE. (In that case they should have healed face and prayed for Condemn (Rank 1), or Holy Nova if they survive to turn 4...)

1500 for just the hero with no cardback? Scam.

This barrage of stuff available with gold is a brilliant move by Blizzard to drain the savings of collectors who don't spend $$$ to hopefully lead them to falling behind on packs and miniset and maybe lead them to $$$ purchases once more.

Uhh maybe because Sir Annoy-O is a skin that hasn't been in the store for 2.5-3 years, and thus is a pretty rare skin? Also Sir Annoy-O doesn't even have an cardback, he instead came with 20 Witchwood Packs in the Hallow! Hallow! Bundle. So the price seems fair to me. Be happy that skins are now available with gold, imagine if all skins stayed behind a paywall, like in the past few years. 

Glad to see Sir Annoy-O back so more people can enjoy using him. 1500 Gold is honestly a fair price for him, considering he used to come with 20 packs and (i think) no card back. Also this is the first time in 2.5-3 years that Sir Annoy-O is back in the store, so that also makes Sir Annoy-O a lot more valueable. Anyways i hope other people can enjoy using Sir Annoy-O now, he has some very *HELLO HELLO HELLLOOOO!* emotes, and very pretty animations. You can complain about him having only "hello" as voicelines, but you can't disagree with the fact that Sir Annoy-O has pretty animations. (So pretty that on Mobile the intro animation might be a bit laggy for your phone lol.)

Quote From aposteljoe

Definitely the best Paladin hero skin of all! I'm a huge fan of it and use it for every "cancer deck" (Hello, Odd Paladin!)

Completely agree, nothing is better than playing a "cancer Deck" with Sir Annoy-O! hello hello heeellloooo!

Deck of Lunacy: Wow this is a HARSH nerf, add this to the "cards that will 100% get reverted when they rotate next year" list. I was personally hoping they would change it so it would give you both standard and WILD cards instead, which would have made the deck a lot less reliable AND also double down on the fun aspect of the card. But even at 4 mana, i don't think the Lunacy mage deck will be killed off. After all, Spell mage is really good deck even without Deck of Lunacy. I think Deck of Lunacy mage will be a bit weaker to aggro now, but will still be solid against control decks. 

Pen Flinger: FINALLY! I have hoped this nerf would happen for a LONG time. This completely destroys Pen Flingers viablilty in FACE decks, and it nerfs Raza Priest in Wild. Libram paladin (The not Pure version) will still use Pen Flinger considering they often rather use it to clear boards alongside their free librams. Great change, doesn't kill the card and still makes it viable.

Sword of the Fallen: This needed to get nerfed, and i'm happy to see that the "mana cheat" part is gone. Sword of the Fallen was way too good, and it is hopefully more balanced.

Jandice Barov: Okay i knew she was a possible nerf target, but i'm still kinda sad she got hit by the nerf. Probably will be in the "nerfs to revert during the next rotation" list. The problem with her was that she was too good after rotation, and at 6 mana she is still very playable. The problem with Jandice Barov was the she was too good in rogue with cards like Shadowstep, and the 5 cost pool was too good. Kinda like this nerf for now, but i'm not dusting my Golden Jandice Barov.

Far Watch Post and Mor'shan Watch Post: Kinda expectable. Watch posts were REALLY GOOD, and super hard to remove sometimes. But even after this nerf their still really good because their effects. The only change is that their slightly easier to remove, which is good because a coined out Far Watch Post or a turn 2 Far Watch Post was extremely hard to get rid off. And Mor'shan Watch Post was really hard to get rid off even later into the game. Now most early removal spells can actually deal with them. Very good change for the health of the game. Let's just hope that these changes don't allow (hyper) aggro to become too good again, i really don't want to see more FACEstone...

OH and it seems like Zeddys nerf predictions aged like fine wine, considering he was correct on all nerf targets AND the exact nerfs.

As someone who owns the Sir Annoy-O skin, it's a really fun to use skin! 10/10 Meme skin, and the animations are very pretty! (So pretty that on mobile it can lag your game when the game starts. With lag i mean the game will struggle loading the intro animation and it will stutter a LOT lol.) The emotes are very fun to use as well. hello hello hello heeelllooooo! Kind of a memey hero skin, but that just gives Sir Annoy-O this charm that no other hero skin has. (Which is why i have almost only used Sir Annoy-O for all my Paladin decks since Sir Annoy-O came out.)

I hope it comes back in the store so other people can finally get it as well, because it's SUPER rare to actually face off against someone else with an Sir Annoy-O skin. And if there are 2 Sir Annoy-O players against each other, trust me its OFTEN a really fun *HELLO SPAM INTENSIES* match you won't forget for a good while! But it is kinda weird if Sir Annoy-O comes back soon, considering it is a halloween/hallows end skin. 

And undoubtably some people will be mad about their Sir Annoy-O skin "losing value". Honestly we have been able to use this skin for like 2.5-3 years already, let other people have their chance to also experience the fun Sir Annoy-O brings.

Well good thing i saved my quests for FitB launch. I personally rather get the new stuff on the rewards track. (Because i already have 80 packs worth of gold ready to spend on FitB packs. AND i'm purchasing the Tavern Pass this time, so i rather get closer to to Cosmetics/EXP Boosters as soon as possible!)

If the quest would have reset, let's just say that i would have had to play A LOT of games/Battlegrounds before FitB launches.

Pssst an advice : if u're an hunter hater dont buy hunter skins, it's simple isnt it

Uhh when did i ever say that i'm a hunter hater? I like playing some hunter decks every now and then..? Highlander Hunter is one of the decks i like playing every so often, so i'm quite curious to what made you think i hate hunter...? Please let me know why you got that impression, because i'm quite curious to what made you think that i hate hunter? Or did you mean to reply to someone elses comment?

Woah that's the best pack i've seen in a long time! Congrats! 

The $15 USD bundle seems only good if your missing legendaries from the classic set. Pretty good if you already have all classic legendaries, and decide to buy the bundle after rotation, because then your probably very likely to get Sylvanas Windrunner and Ragnaros the Firelord.

The $20 USD Bundle seems very good for gathering dust. If you disenchant all the card you get + the golden legendary you get: 20 commons*50 + 5 rares*100 + 1 Legendary*1600= 3100 dust. This can help you craft some of the cards you might want in the FitB expansion. OF course that quick calc is probably off a bit, but i just took the very worst and unluckiest scenario. 

Pretty good bundles, but i suggest waiting until after rotation and Forged in the Barrens launches if you want to purchose one of these bundles. That's because you can then get a lot more cards that were hall of famed before, which can help you get more cards for your collection. (And of course hall of famed cards often still see play in wild.) Oh and make sure you open any classic packs you saved from tavern brawls before getting the bundle, you might pull a legendary you didn't want which in turn lowers the chance to get a bad legendary from the bundles.

Quote From Superpuff

I've hade her since she cost me real money. Now more people can play as her. Which makes me sad :(

Same, i had her since she first came out as well. But i'm kinda happy that people that missed out on her before can finally get her. The fact that people can buy her with gold doesn't really bother me... Because people have to choose between 15 Forged in the Barrens Packs OR The Sylvanas Hero Skin. If people are really willing to choose the Sylvanas skin > 15 FitB packs, then i'm 100% happy for them. Great timing from the marketing team. (Wow, never thought that i would ever say that..)

Kinda surpriced to see Sylvanas purchaseable with gold, but i'm also glad she is. Personally i bought her when she first came out and i'm happy that other people that missed out on that chance can get her. Sylvanas has some pretty animations, and good emotes so i.m.o. she is the best hunter skin. (Or actually the only hunter skin you would ever need, like seriously.)

Also i'm not really surpriced that there selling the Sylvanas skin in the shop right now, because now players actually have to choose between the sylvanas skin, or 15 Forged in the Barrens packs if they want to buy it with gold. 

Well now that we have seen Sylvanas and Thunderking return for 1500 gold, i wouldn't be surprised to see the old 3 shop hero skins return (Magni, Alleria and Medivh) this year for 1500 gold or $10 USD. (And maybe Khadgar as well? Would be nice.)

Been hoarding Classic Packs since the core set has been announced, and currently have like 6-7 saved up in total. I hope i get something decent, if i remember correctly i SHOULD be fairly close to the pity timer. (Really hoping to get Ragnaros the Firelord, Sylvanas Windrunner, a 2nd copy of Ice Block or some Molten Giants, those are the only big ones i'm still missing because i didn't craft them yet.) Personally i play a lot of WILD and have always been really tempted to craft most of these cards (already did craft 1 Ice Block), so getting some for free would be very nice! (Just hoping i don't unpack my first copy of Millhouse Manastorm, Lorewalker Cho or Nat Pagle..)

Also i'm happy their making Tavern Brawls something to look forward to again. Tavern Brawls have felt very stale lately and i honestly have accidentally skipped a few tavern brawls because i forgot they either excisted or it was a brawl that was way too tedius to do. Having packs from the current expansion as the reward makes it a LOT more exciting, because you can get some cards that you actually want. (And cards from new packs are more likely to get nerfed = more potential dust.) And it also makes HS a lot more free to play, which is awesome! I wished that they made these changes a lot sooner honestly,

Celestial Emissary, but it's neutral with more defensive stats. Might see play in Spell-damage decks, but i'm not sure. Celestial Emissary never saw much play, and it still doesn't. HOWEVER it might be good from a Primordial Studies.

Good for FACE decks, RIP River Crocolisk, first they powercrept a lot , and now it got completely and utterly destroyed by a neutral minion with same stats, cost, good effect AND beast tag. RIP

Very important for murloc decks, the attack buff is good already but also making it so murlocs can act as removal? I like it! Never thought i'd see the day that murloc decks might be usable as a control package.

REALLY good watchpost, and it's cheap too. Will 100% see play, and i personally am kinda interested in playing some kind of watchpost deck.
