Ooooh boy, Reno, Lone Ranger is gonna create a lot of reddit threads 😅 the fact he can remove Sargeras's portal is massive coz that's the main staying power of control warlock atm.
Probably need to watch the livestream but do we have clarification on what "split in two halves" means for Mes'Adune the Fractured and what Velarok Windblade's true form looks like?
Sure the card seems powerful but I don't really see the pay off card for playing a bunch of taunts, Battlepickaxe can be destroyed and the only game plan for the deck is buffed taunt minions? Guess we haven't seen the other legendary yet so there is still hope for some kind of win con
Now I wonder the interaction between Boomboss Tho'grun and the Barrel of Sludge tokens coz I'd imagine "blowing up" cards would be the same as destroy? I'm sure the devs will clarify at some point.
Perhaps I should've explained my though process instead of a 1 line joke. Both spells are 6 mana and for some reason The Badlands Bandits is a legendary spell with the opposite effect of Rats of Extraordinary Size minus the stats/buffs/bonus effects etc. Rats of Extraordinary Size never saw any reasonable amount of play and in my opinion The Badlands Bandits is worse coz you need to play the Bandits not to mention you can't play this spell on turn 6 with a full hand or you risk burning your next draw. Sure hand paladin seems like it could work but this card won't see play coz you would've already played your Living Horizon and a bunch of 3/2s from turn 6 onwards is horribly bad. Also no spell school, less options for mana cheating.
Quite like the flavor of Spirit of the Badlands seeing as Highlander decks are all about 1 copy of each card. Now we have the ability to have 2 copies of our minions at least. This can be pretty broken with Legendary minions especially. Wouldn't be surprised if we see a low minion highlander deck to guarantee the mirage to hit a specific minion over and over again.
I would love to have a reason to return to HoTS. The unexpected news of Blizzard putting the game into maintenance mode was very saddening, especially right after releasing Deathwing my favorite hero (ofc). I always worried that with Blizzard not caring about the game, that would leak towards the players and I already had a hard enough time queuing for quick games.
Streamers have predicted that we haven't seen the full extend of the schedule, with the possibility of 2 hidden slots that can either announce the new survival game (which is unlikely) or updates on HoTS, WC3 refunded and the Starcraft franchise. Lots of ppl guessing there will be a Starcraft mobile game as that IP has yet to come to mobile. Doubt it'll be an RTS but there are some RTS-lite mobile games out there like C&C Rivals.
Definitely agree on this sentiment and also I feel naga should be the go to tribe for DH like how Shaman/Mage use Elementals. There is an intentional lore reason for this: Although he amassed an army of servants in the form of the naga led by Lady Vashj, Illidan's efforts were stopped by the night elves and he was forced to flee to the shattered realm of Outland. There he and his naga gathered new allies in the form of the blood elves led by Kael'thas Sunstrider and the Broken draenei led by Akama, and with their aid he overthrew Outland's tyrannical ruler Magtheridon to claim the broken realm for his own.
I know DH also use Demons but feels kinda weird seeing as the class's name is all about hunting demons.
I'd love to get back into HoTS coz I never really ever had a bad experience with that game, only just having to nag my friends to play then getting trolled coz Dota 2/LoL are better games...
I'd say my best Blizzcon experience was 2015, to a point where I even bought the poster and still have it on my wall. I remember very vividly going crazy when Brode showed us the Golden Monkey. Also Heroes of the Storm released that same year and was blown away by the WoW Legion expansion announcement that I pre-ordered instantly. (Also it had a lot to do with the D3 wings apart of the Deluxe edition 😅)
Oh very true but also think there are external factors preventing ppl from attending the in person event. Almost everything from flights to accommodation have doubled in price since covid so I'm not surprised Blizzcon hasn't sold out.
Thanks for the info!

Damn, that Chris Metzen "What's up Blizzcon?!" was so worth the wait. I am so hyped for the future of WoW now that he's back.
And thank you Blizzard for FINALLY mentioning that damn sword again!
Looks like Reno is loaded with Frost Bullets, could be a sign

Rats of Extraordinary Size laughs hysterically at The Badlands Bandits

Just adding this video here to increase the hype for Blizzcon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NRPEe7YnCQ
Ah missed this one, thanks for letting me know! :D

Congrats Pezman on your first OoG article! Great read and pretty chaotic (in a good way)
Love the Snake Eyes name and effect. Would be funny if there's a specific voice line on getting 2 1s

While I'd be very happy for another SC2 expansion this year, unfortunately that typo is 10 years into the future 😅
I need to continue playing this game. Stopped about 12 hours in but had lots of fun. Now to find the time...
