So if you play this naga while there's a 10 mana spell in hand, you're basically getting 4 extra mana for free. Ofc this won't happen in standard as Survival of the Fittest is rotating but there's always the next 2 expansions and mini-sets to add more big spells.
Just depends in big spell druid is viable on rotation
It's 8 damage split for potentially 2 different targets and this could find a home in Quest Druid if there's enough naga support. Should see some play even if it only does 4 damage
Pointless weapon that won't see play in constructed. In Arena it might be good but at this point with the core set re-introducing Flamereaper, DH has too many weapons
We knew Eye Beam was too broken at zero mana so this spell should see play but ofc bare in mind that you still need to spend mana to play a naga minion so it's definitely balanced.
For some reason I expected at least 80% of the core set to change but alas no. Also some choices like Fiery War Axe don't make sense when there's Azsharan Trident that's much better.
Also to note, it may be better to prioritize the tier 3 class achievements as they award 500XP or 600XP with Tavern Pass.
I'm just praying there's no achievement bugs in the next expansion, coz clearly Blizzard doesn't care to compensate players for all the buggy FAV achievements.
Well this could fit into token beast druid but doubt that archetype will be doing a lot of dredging. I don't see this fish getting larger than 5/7 but it is somewhat an anti-fatigue minion.
Pretty flavorful colossal, but then again, so are all the others. It's obviously a must-kill Colossal or it keeps scaling. The 3 taunts are also good at stalling, or a last ditch effort at staying alive. Some classes might battle to remove Glugg, so I remain optimistic that he'll see play
Considering DH attacks "all the time" this is a solid minion and very fair as a 4 mana 4/3 which makes it easy to remove. If the stats were any higher, this minion with be OP. Most times you'll only get 1 trigger off this shark, but that might be enough of a board clear, especially for token decks.
Oh very nice mech mage support that will 100% see play coz Trench Surveyor has decent stats, low cost with basically the discover mechanic from your deck. Mech mage will most likely have a few mechs, so most times you'll draw the mech you want.
Well now, this is an interesting tech card that may see some play in certain metas. Obviously the Snowfall Guardian counter has been discussed but it will also be good against the new Colossal minions and even something as simple as taunt minions.
Oh dear...the other kind of mana cheating has been added to this expansion... that alone will make this minion a scary threat and with Zola the Gorgon being added to the core set, there could be a crazy OTK combo that will be found
These damn cards are so difficult to evaluate without the new core set 😓 really want to know why the core set reveal was set for after the new card reveals.
Regardless, I highly doubt this will be any good unless we get more draw. And on a side note, having hand buffs for Warlock feels super weird, like this should be a Paladin spell for mechs instead
Guess going full Zilliax would've made Ini Stormcoil OP? This is still good anyway in any mech focused deck but getting a copy of Mecha-Shark will probably be the best outcome

That's one long patch notes
A question for Flux and staff: Will we have a tavern crawl page to track the cards we haven't commented on?
You can leave the achievements unclaimed and the XP will be automatically added to the current rewards track once the patch is live

Damn, that game mat in the last pic with the cards on it looks freaking siiiiick!!!!!

I remain optimistic, considering it's 1 mana

Guaranteed pro Esport plays with this minion
I would assume there's other cards that generate curses as well, or this card is garbage and won't see play

Guess mechs are back on the menu boys and gals!
(Note: judgement of card may vary depending on core set mechs)
