I am genuinely curious how many hours it took you to get this much up, even on those small pieces I wrote outside of this thread took around 20 minutes per article, and those were written per class.

I …

I pretty much agree that priest isnt going to be tier 1, but there's a place in tier 2 for it. I am in particularly thinking that priest has a decent chance against dhunters, which is going to be everywhere, …

In my opinion, priest has some good cards in the expansion, but that shouldnt surprise anyone with the class's transition into a more tempoish class similar to paladin.

A few short thoughts;

- [card]imprisoned homunculus[/card] curves into [card]apotheosis[/card], …

Okay, good ol' Pally. Let's see;

[card]imprisoned sungill[/card], practically unloved by all, is a 1 mana [card]murloc tidecaller[/card] that summons an extra 1/1 murloc, but comes 2 turns later. Its easy to see why its considered a weak card; …

To be honest I have the same opinion that poor [card]imprisoned sungill[/card] may turn out to surprise everyone, mostly because paladin happens to be a buff class and sungill swarms the board.

Well, if you're coming back then you would be at least able to tell us if blizzard has started giving away free decks like they said they would to returning players. Not so sure what's the time frame to receive …

I think the new ranking system is supposed to allow players to climb ladder fast, back to where they were previously. It took me only 2 days to reach diamond, but I'm not complaining.

The new MMR system matches …

A little disappointed that the final battle with Cenarius wasnt a 'supposed to lose' fight.

At least we can see a little deeper how [card]Maiev shadowsong[/card] came to hate this guy.

Mage cards are solid, very solid. But that only depends on whether a minionless-mage build can rise above meme level, the same way hunters did. Two very solid cards in [card]apexis blast[/card] and [card]font of power[/card] works best in that …

I watch those streams not merely to get deckbuilding ideas, but also to watch how matches can turn up. Besides, its the only stream available if you want to get a feel for cards, especially since aggro decks tend to …

I hesitate to disagree, but after watching Kibler's theorycraft stream, I'm afraid its just not happening.

Priest have a better chance of matching aggro dhunters in my opinion. God, that's weird to say.

A fair opinion. But I rather rely on [card]king krush[/card] for 8 to the face and comes down 1 turn earlier.

Its only really powerful played on turn 1, if you go first. But against dhunters, its just coin [card]battlefiend[/card] into hp. Your next best move would be to play a 3/4 [card]phase stalker[/card], which the [card]battlefiend[/card] will immediately trade if …

barring demon hunters you mean.

and rogue

and some say mage

No, not you priest. Maybe next time.

Card unlikely to see play:-

[card]Imprisoned felmaw[/card] makes me sad. On the one hand it seemed like a decent aggressive card that has potential to hit face. On the other hand, its greatest weakness is not that its attack …

I actually love this brawl. A small insight of what could have been had team5 went all in with the shrine concept. I think they did, but at the end concluded its too dependent on the shrine staying on board …

Jenalai's mantle basically destroys Zul'jin. Too bad its basically bad against nearly everyone else.

Hireek's hunger can work well against Zul'jin too. But I've not had a chance to test this. Basically warlock doesnt even need to attack to …

It makes sense that you only get 1 [card]excess mana[/card]. With 2, you can actually setup some insane malygos-kaelthas strats.

Still, my fingers crossed that you can get 2. The card is already good on its own, if it …

The sad thing about [card]ysiel windsinger[/card] in standard is that [card]kael'thas sunstrider[/card] can probably do it better.

The best way to play her in my opinion is to draw towards your win condition, with expensive cards like [card]overflow[/card]. That's …

Lots of people (myself included) overlook [card]overgrowth[/card] and [card]bogbeam[/card], but I think its likely we'll be seeing more of these cards than we think.

[card]Overgrowth[/card] is a turn 4 ramp for 2, with an effect on 10 that is …
