Considering there's multiple ways to summon minions without triggering their battlecry, (looking at you big priest) I'm sure this rager will see a lot more play than... the other ragers 😁
I'm actually quite surprised how people aren't seeing this from Flux's point of view. A small amount of empathy should be warranted here. He's the owner of a news site, even if it's for a game. Misinformation damages the reputation of news sites and it wastes staff time.
Yes, Blizzard's fake post is in poor taste but it can also be seen as slapstick humor. This doesn't mean the whole OoC community should gang up on Flux if you don't agree with his opinion. Also view the bad language as being passionate about the subject 🙃
I'm assuming we'd also get any DK cards, even the ones with runes on them? Also keep in mind that the April standard rotation will reduce the card pool so The Sunwell could end up like a 2nd Deck of Lunacy. Luckily the only mana cheating is the spell's initial cost which is balanced by the reduction in value.
Oooo this is a nice big arcane spell for big mage. I'm sure nobody would be update getting this off of Magister Dawngrasp and it's pretty great stall for that deck. Sure you may still use Drakefire Amulet due to the tradeable aspect, but this isn't a bad card.
It's a simple damage spell to showcase the Manathirst mechanic. Will probably only see play after the Standard rotation when First Flame gets snuffed out to wild ;)
I'm not really sold on this legendary yet, just coz you need a lot of setup beforehand. It might work in a Cariel control paladin but you still need to buff this minions attack first, play the card then another minion to receive the divine shield and rush. Seems a bit too slow, unless you forego the hand buff and just slot this into an aggro list.
5 damage for 2 mana... where have I seen that before... but ofc this is better coz +3 damage is permanent till the minion is removed. This spell should see play in a new aggro list.
This spell will be good. A specific tutor with a mana discount, making this spell cost zero mana for 1 corpse will be relatively easy. We've only see Frostmourne so far, but I'm pretty sure there will be many more weapons to come.
This is interesting. Compare this collectable version of the card to Anti-magic Shell of old, 1 mana decrease does make some sense. At 4 mana, I would say this spell was the worst option out of the uncollectable Death Knight cards back in KotFT. The unholy rune requirement makes sense, seeing as you'll be summoning lots of tokens, a nice board wide buff is just what you need in an unholy aggro token DK deck :)
Ok so Frostmourne is basically identical to the uncollectable version from KotFT which is good. If they had buffed this weapon, it would've been OP. It's now a fair and balanced card in this day and age of HS.
This Death knight show match is basically gonna show everyone which is the most broken rune to start deckbuilding around on day 1. 1 rune to rule them all! Or will it be 2... gonna be fun to watch.
I feel incentivized to buy the mega bundle just coz I don't want to spend that 2k gold on the path of arthas set and be left with 20 less packs to open on expansion day. I didn't buy the Castle Nathria tavern pass so I don't have that much gold anyway.
I think Blizzard intentionally did this to make the mega bundle basically essential if you want all the DKs cards at expansion launch.
Either way, Blizzard is getting more money out of us, if players buy the path of arthas alone with real money/gold or buying it with the mega bundle.
Just confirming, a neutral spell is still considered as "another class" right? So Tess and Contraband Stash will recast The Sunwell along with all the other spells you've cast?
It consists of a clip that almost certainly belongs to the Death Knight Prologue solo adventure (unlocking the class cards belonging to Path of Arthas)
A bit confused here. I thought the Path of Arthas set has to be bought with real money or gold? Wouldn't the solo adventure unlock the core set for DK?

Oh Bonemare, how you've been powercrept :P luckily the keywords here are friendly Undead or this would slot into any midrange or control deck.

Ok thanks for the clarification

It's 100% this reason ☝ Blizzard also want pre-orders to sell so they will blatantly make the class overpowered just to sell bundles.
Just reminding everyone of the most legendary Arthas rap.
This Scourge Rager also seems to have inherited some Stealth from a cousin rager as I cannot find him in any HS database, even the official HS site.
Regardless, very interesting insight from the designer. Always enjoy seeing custom HS cards make it into the game.
