I think Team 5 had to make this change for cards like Corpse Explosion which were literally and functionally unplayable when generated for another class. Don't recall any other cards doing that before.
I think they tweaked on when everyone ended up playing DK during the Half and Half TB
Honestly, aside from the annoying "Deal 100 X damage" daily quests, I won't be touching Mercs again even with these cool updates. The thought of spending time in an officially dead mode would leave a bad taste in my mouth and that's kinda sad.
Maybe in an alternate universe, Mercs never existed and the game was better off for it.
The flavor text makes me think they'll introduce a new mana ramp spell in the next expansion to the effect of "Gain an empty mana crystal (can exceed 10 mana)"
Just like Mecha'thun, this card requires a certain setup to win the game consistently. These types of cards are always welcome in my opinion as it creates a whole new archetype or way of winning the game. You don't need to hit your opponent in the face constantly.
Only downside ofc is that if your horseman get transformed, you instantly loose the game coz your only win con is dead.
Evolve shaman is running rampant in the meta atm, so might not be a good time just yet to try this type of deck.
The rune restriction is very interesting, makes me wonder if we'll ever get a rainbow DK card with all 3 runes. I'm not really a fan of the art as there's tons of better Sindragosa artworks online. Also why are the tokens the same art? Why would she have 2 right wings? We've seen the tokens from other Colossal minions and they have different artwork. Hoping this is fixed in the client when the mini set releases.
I'm a little torn between laughing and annoyance from this news. The laughing part is that we all knew this would happen some day, I just didn't expect it to be so soon. The annoyance is that if Team 5 didn't invest so many ppl in this mode, Constructed and other modes would have been better off, especially in a time where United in Stormwind was ruining Constructed. My assumption is that Mercs was bringing in probably 1% or less revenue so the Execs just killed it.
Now lets hope with Mercs out of the way, Team 5 can focus more on creating better constructed/bgs content AND FIXING THOSE DAMN BUGS!
This was my first ever "dismiss" of a legendary quest in regards to the portrait quest in the journal. I hope Blizzard has analytics on this to see how many ppl removed the quest, or how many players didn't get the reward.
I really like your idea, it's very little effort on Blizzard's part and it incentivizes the community to make their own tournament sites and opt into the API. But knowing Blizzard... they'll come up with some lame excuse saying the community will maliciously abuse the API
Agreed, the wrinkle line under his eyes really doesn't make him look attractive.
This is meant to be a high fantasy game, old man Varian hits too close to reality 😅
I'm extremely nervous that my country's pricing will increase soon coz the local currency value has weakened a lot compared to USD 😒
They probably knew about the bugs since the mini-set release which was last Tuesday, so ~ 5 days to fix bugs, not bad.
As a heavily biased dragon supporter, it's a bit tough choosing which dragon deck to play here 😜 Wonder if you can try all 3
Every time I see random for TBs, I just go DK instantly coz they have the best (and smallest) card pool :)

Hey hey, you wanna buy a funnel cake?
Evolve Shaman is sitting here laughing to his heart's content when seeing Blazing Transmutation
Speaker Gidra would only half disagree with you 🙃

I do like the From De Other Side combo as mentioned above

I also want to see the full artwork

Nerubian Egg is in the core set and hasn't seen much play.
It's probably just gonna be Loatheb that's playable.
Yes I 100% agree that these factions should've been included in Merc since inception. Maybe the mode wouldn't have died then 😅

I completed this quest in wow today funny enough and I saw this interesting dialog about Harpies... maybe a clue to the next expansion? 🤔
