Not really sure about meeting guys with basic cards in casuals. Could be that its someone trying out something that specifically uses more basic cards. Without a larger sample size, that's my best guess.

As for your second inquiry. …

That is interesting. It could be because we've never had something that specifically discards certain cards twice before so these kinda interactions have never really been seen. Perhaps all discards are actually calculated separated from one another, but I'd imagine …

From what I noticed there's this red arrow in the center where you can see your number of wins;

The arrow will move towards your right every time you score a win, and will come full circle on …

I'm actually more surprised that you implied, through that 1 mana 5/4 card, that dhunters got the lion's share of good cards this time round, cause aside from [card]fury (rank 1)[/card], this is perhaps the weakest set of cards I've …

Banning [card]Nozdormu the Eternal[/card]

Team5, you fiends.

So I watched some of the streams, mostly Kiblers. Here's some thoughts (I know some people hate this, so click on spoilers below at your own volition)

[spoiler]

- Mage looks really busted, especially if the games drag. …

Its good, like really good. Considering how difficult it is to draw for paladin, having something that basically draws its most useless cards and play it immediately, is really nice to have.

It does suffer from only having a …

If secrets are up, this card will be there.

Fact is that it draws cards and paladin having lost most of its draw option can certain use one as an aggressive deck, which secret pally will likely be one.

It has 4 health and it does some really disgusting stuff when triggered.

Yes, its going to see play. Lots of play.

It you're playing an elemental deck, expect to see this card. But outside of that its not really that great.

Its ultimate payoff at the moment is either [card]lilypad lurker[/card], [card]fire elemental[/card], or [card]fantastic firebird[/card]. All three are good …

If [card]spawnpool forager[/card] wasn't a thing, this would be hot trash. But since that is a thing, this is basically a 3/4 for 2 on 2. And that might just be enough to seal the deal then and there.

You play this, your opponent suffers 1-2 turns of bs, and then this card gets removed. Ultimately, you're not really doing much with this card since it doesn't really buy tempo and at its very best denies your opponent a …

Its viability is solely on whether you can just get a ton of murlocs out in the same turn. But with [card]underbelly angler[/card] gone, and no other way to summon murlocs other than playing them yourself, you either swing board …

Aggro decks will love this, and so do I.

But its probably pack filler.

It can't be discovered from primordial studies, and its effect only last once. In other words, its just bad. If you need a pay off minion, just play [card]imprisoned phoenix[/card], which while is slower is at least not restrictive to …

Its a druid and shaman card basically. But why would either want to play a conditional 2 mana 2/4? Not a clue myself. I mean, if you really really need a 2/4 for 2, I'd go with [card]hecklefang hyena[/card], which …

Lol. The very point of a divine shield is to prevent attacks, and this one only comes out after one.

Theoretically played on curve its very difficult to deny this value, but spidertanks aren't exactly hard to get rid …

In weapon decks this is just good. In many ways I would prefer this over [card]vulpera toxinblade[/card], or just play them both in a very fast aggro weapon rogue deck.

Anything that buffs weapons will at some point see …

Cute little hog. Instant 5 stars. This is going to break the meta. Your opponent either concedes out of pity, or loses one turn from laughing. Either way, you still get to view that cute little hog for all its …

One of the standout survival tool against aggro.

But its low attack means its basically only relevant against aggro and little else. I still rate this highly, but only because it kinda more or less guarantees at least 2 …
