The main problem of [card]plagiarize[/card] is simply because it its highly matchup dependent. Against most rogues or mage, you can stand to get plenty of value from this card. Against paladin, priest or any midrange deck and the likelihood is that you're getting one card tops. And you've just spent two mana for it. But getting this off hanar is …

The nature of battlegrounds is its carefree, noncompetitive casualness. Unfortunately this means that a large part of the game itself is rng, with only limited amounts of control each player has over their game. Even your starting hero is essentially a coin toss. Its really not worth making a write up over it. That blizz even balances battlegrounds at all, …

Scholomance legendaries but not packs?

Well, what shenanigans do we have here this time.

On the remark of why lifecoach quit hearthstone, I think he made a video summing it up. I watched it like 2 years back;

- He didn't like the rng direction of hearthstone, which he felt was catering to casuals than pros

- He didn't like that its not about pure skill. He did some sort of weird …

Many of the usual traits of poor cards;

- Cost over 6 and has no taunt or rush, and the effect doesn't win you the game

- Trying to make hunter any other archetype other than aggro or midrange

- Trying to make priest a tempo class (cross my fingers its going to work this time)

I think we can accept that mage don't draw that well, so there are certain decks which [card]cram session[/card] and [card]arcane intellect[/card] can both be acceptable inclusions, so a direct comparison may not always be appropriate. I can see there being some sort of a build around with the current cyclone giants mage, where consistency is a real issue since …

[card]speaker gidra[/card], [card]robes of protection[/card] and [card]troublemaker[/card] at 4 stars? [card]Fishy flyer[/card] at 2 stars? Can't say I'm in complete agreement.

[card]secret passage[/card] is deservedly number 1 of all the cards. The fact that this allows you to dig up resources, allows you to keep any extra generated/drawn cards, …

[card]Glide[/card] has to compete with [card]skull of gul'dan[/card] in an aggressive deck, and that's why I personally think its not going to slot in. I am interested, and will very likely try day one, to fit both into control dhunter. I feel that glide, controversial as it may be, will eventually turn out quite mellow in an aggro deck, since …

Just want to mention that [card]captain greenskin[/card] has a slight niche over the doctor in that you dont need a minion on your opponent's end to upgrade your weapon. So if theres no minions, or if the only minion is big, then [card]doctor krastinov[/card] would just be straight up worse than greenskin.

Also greenskin's a pirate, so there's that …

Don't know about you guys, but sometimes hearthstone gets these minor strokes that my game would pause slightly every move I make and needless to say have costed me some games. Doesn't happen that often, but when it does happen I have to steadfastly remind myself that I paid lots of money for my keyboard.

Hopefully these hotfixes does …

Tempo mage, aggro rogue,Totem shaman, control dhunter, beast hunter, libram paladin, soul frag warlock

Depends on what epic cards I get. I don't usually start wasting my dust on day one, and I might change my opinion depending on the theorycrafting stream.

[card]Blood herald[/card]'s neither a beast nor demon.

[card]helpless hatchling[/card] not being a dragon and now this.

Maybe its a mistake. [card]Risky skipper[/card] was very nearly not a pirate too. Shows how arbitry the gods are in Azeroth.

Just a little extra info on [card]demon companion[/card], which Im sure many would already have noticed; their names are actually anagrams of the original 3 [card]animal companion[/card]s.

Kolek's actually the better of the three honestly. There's plenty of situations where you'd appreciate an additional attack per minion and this one's only 1 mana. Too bad Reffuh only deals 2 …

Draws you cards and if you have a 5 damage weapon then this is free.

Yes, this is good. Yes this will go into all aggro rogue/warrior decks. But will it ever go anywhere else? That's another question. [card]Risky skipper[/card] combo is still here and not going anywhere, and …

Quote From Pezman

I think this is the best Studies card. Rush is such a powerful mechanic, and there are so many good rush minions (and yes, a bunch of bad ones). Am I correct in recalling that Discover effects favor class cards over neutrals? If so, your chances of getting something awesome like [card]Restless Mummy[/card] or [card]Kargath …

Likely its an event thing and not an achievement or otherwise it'll be skins for all classes.

The real question is what will happen if you play Illucia after they have played Illucia? does the deck permanently switch now?

How would you do that?

1. You play Illucia. You have your opponents hand now. Unless he is a priest with Illucia in hand, …

But that will also at very least give them a turn with their own cards and deck, so they can react appropriately like playing togwaggle, leaving you with your own deck but not with the means to change it back.

That is, if you're not already dead before next turn arrives.

 There's actually plenty of reason to play this card actually. Its a decent 3/1 that will most certainly kill something near turns 3-4. And you can do so again.

Maybe in rogue, hunter, aggro decks in general. But its otherwise not really that great.
