Day One decks - common mistakes

With the new expansion this evening I thought now would be a good time to offer a few words of wisdom regarding deckbuilding in a new expansion meta. I'm sure to some of you this will all be old news …

Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Final Reveal #5

I hereby move for the 'no neutrals' Paladin archetype to be named 'Paladinadin'.

Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Final Reveal #2

Well, Mage hero power isn't really in-point given that it can't target Chimaera. I would also argue Rogue hero power is fairly irrelevant as a tech card choice as there's no current Rogue deck that focusses on large minions, nor …

Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Final Reveal #2

While (as always) there's a fair bit I disagree with here, the main point I want to bring out is the Evasive Chimaera review comparing it to Pit Snake. While I see the logic in that comparison given the statline, …

Evolve Mechanics Updated In Descent Of Dragons Patch

The actual impact on gameplay is kinda irrelevant for changes like this. You can call it good or bad, but realistically it's only going to have fringe impact for now outside of Wild (where it'll matter primarily because Devolve remains …

The Final Descent of Dragons Reveal Stream - 47 New Cards! LIVE COVERAGE
Quote From Demonxz95

So many "Evasive" stuff. They've really gotta consider it at this point.

I feel like they're basically just doing it as a sly nod towards the elusive push, really. Once could be …

Card Reveals - Faceless Corruptor & Murozond (Priest Legendary)
Quote From SLima

Just pointing out, in case you didn't notice: Faceless Corruptor is a neutral card, not just a Priest one.

Yeah, you right. My bad on that one - I guess I tunnelled …

Card Reveals - Faceless Corruptor & Murozond (Priest Legendary)

I... um... Hm. I have no idea how to really value either of these cards.

Faceless Corruptor: Very much feels like a value-trade card. Take an on-board trade, then drop this, transform the crippled minion and double trade. The …

Wild players: how do you still enjoy it?

I personally enjoy Wild on occasion, usually when Standard starts to make me irritable. There are certain decks there, such as Renolock, which can still answer all of the ridiculousness that gets quoted while playing relatively fair. There are others, …

Card Reveals - Faceless Corruptor & Murozond (Priest Legendary)

I share Inconspicuosaurus' frustration here. And for the record, Murozond really isn't a worse Tess. Its effect is weaker, that's definitely the case. But on the other hand, you didn't have to fill your entire deck with random-generation garbage just …

Warlock Card Reveal - Dark Skies

Feels really underwhelming to me. It's not going to reliably clear an early board or a big minion. Hell, I'd be down on it even if it was enemy-targets only. Won't see play, Warlock has too many evergreen AoEs to …

New Card Reveal - Dragonmaw Poacher

What this card really needs is for its battlecry to also destroy a targeted Dragon, and to be a crab.

But seriously...

This card intrigues me because it feels like T5 actively trying to prevent people from going …

Card Reveal - Blowtorch Saboteur

Resounding 'meh' from me. Penalty isn't big enough to be all that punishing, nor are there any hero powers in Standard that are overly threatening. The only way I can see this card seeing constructed play is in Wild as …

Epic Druid Card Reveal - Embiggen

A little curious why you're asking 'do you know' when my original post went into that area in significantly more detail than you did, but for the sake of clarity I'll explain further:

Yes, you can go through …

Druid Card Reveals - Goru the Mightree & Treenforcements

Meh. I don't see it working - treant decks have consistently failed to perform since they were first posited, and a single legendary (albeit a great one for the archetype) isn't going to change that. Even dropped on curve it's …

Epic Druid Card Reveal - Embiggen

SLima finally posts what I was thinking the second I saw this card, after more than a page of comments thinking this card will be busted...

This card is not particularly powerful if you're playing anywhere above rank 10 …

Two New Cards Revealed - Cobalt Spellkin, EVIL Quartermaster

Cobalt Spellkin: Ehh. Could be solid in theory, but in practice I suspect 5 mana is too much to be spending for a random effect with relatively low value. 3/5 has historically been too weak a statline for a 5-drop …

New Card Reveal - Platebreaker (ARMOR DESTRUCTION)

Firstly, I would suggest you review the tone of your posts in this thread, because you're not coming across well. 

Secondly, a common theme in tech cards is that they're low cost. If you're running tech, you want it …

Kripparrian Hosting the Final Card Reveal Stream for Descent of Dragons
Quote From Almaniarra

It should have been like "Kripparian, Dean Ayala and Kibler"

Yes, I don't like that Chris guy. Kripp and Kibler are already like Blizzard employees, They don't be askew if they both will be in …

Paladin Card Reveal - Bronze Explorer

Struggling to place this right now. It's looking like a fit for two draconic variants - a 'typical' control late-game Paladin as a value card and early game drop, but also as a midrange dragon paladin enabler. Bronze Herald was …
