4 cards returning from Ashes of Outland (4 Demon Hunter Class cards).
Ashes of Outland is not rotating, so will the 4 DH cards be from that expansion, but just given to us for free as part of the core set? And how would that look in the collection manager if you already have the cards?
This card can be seen as targeted draw, just like Redscale Dragontamer. It's a good and fair card that will probably see play in a variety of priest decks.
Lets not forget the Shadow spell school and the possible synergies there will be
Not to mention some minion tribes could thematically work with specific spell schools. For eg: Team 5 prints a new dragon that synergizes with fire spells, or a demon that buffs fel spells.
Thanks for the decklist, my Maxima Blastenheimer has been crying in the corner collecting dust since I got her as my free legendary on the rewards track. Would really appreciate a deck guide on this site! hint hint 😜
ol, when my wife says the d-word I still pause and tense up even just at home. That rule has been put on hold for now, looking forward to getting some d's when we get back in the office, though. (Source)
One thing not mentioned here but also not specific to hearthstone was the 30th anniversary carbot animation. Really well done and I love the transitions between the games. Even Malthael got his own hearthstone card!
Ideally you'd want to silence this deathrattle effect (or evolve the minion) but I don't see warlock putting an Ironbeak Owl or Showstopper into their deck for this
For some reason I assumed there would only be 10 mercenaries to collect like the book of mercenaries mentioned. Glad to hear that's not the case, coz 40 mercenaries would make for a better variety of merc combinations. We can all guess some heroes from BGs will be added as mercs
I'm not sold yet on this upgrade effect. For Chain Lightning (Rank 3) dealing 8 damage to 2 minions on turn 10 might not be enough to remove the big minions one would expect at 10 mana. Ofc you are only paying 2 mana to deal 8 damage across 2 bodies, but I feel we'd need additional cards to completely remove the 2 minions. There's also that 50/50 on which adjacent minion gets hit, if you target the middle minion
Oooo I do like the water animations on this card back ♥♥♥
I'm quite surprised at the number of buffed cards in this core set. Most are actually playable now, just look at Warsong Commander
Ooooh nice buff to an old goodie that hasn't been seen since GvG, noice!
Well... I did not see this one coming... is warsong commander actually playable again?! 🤯😱
I'm a bit confused about this point:

For those interested in the number of spells per school, here's a breakdown:

Well... this just got awkward... (and NSFW 😅)
Very comedic article, and it's a good time to try wacky decks like this before the next season begins on Monday.

This card needed rush for it to be even remotely playable. Also with the new frenzy mechanic, hand buffs might actually look desirable...

Love the flavour and the effect, definitely a go to substitute card for your rogue deck if you missing other legendaries
Very cool card, the overload on turn 2 makes this very fair

This Ysera wouldn't be included in big priest, so I'd say it's a win!

Wonder if this card has a special interaction with Apotheosis. Would you heal from the damage triggered by the frenzy effect?
