I cant see how to be honest.

The idea was that you'd unlock the demon hunter initiate set by playing the prologue but would not be able to play them until AoO launches. From a player perspective its perfectly clear. But from backend, perhaps the coding is too complicated, causing internal problems. I cannot imagine this to be a …

Id imagine all the problems are coming from their end, because it makes perfect sense for us to unlock the class before the expansion starts.

Or alternatively, just make it available from the start without having to go through a prologue, its all fluff anyway. I havent went back or even last thought about the dhunter prologue since the …

I can see many are not fans of these signature cards.

But really, some of these are just better artwork than the normal cards. [card]Arcsplitter[/card] in particular, in the normal card looks like hes taking a shit, whereas in the signature card it looks at least dynamic. And this can be said about many others. [card]Lady deathwhisper[/card]'s signature artwork …

Shouldn't they let us unlock the DK via the prologue before the expansion starts itself? I mean, didn't they did this with dhunter? So on 6 Dec itself we'll all be scrambling to play the prologue instead of any new decks. Its not like we have tons to do before the expansion starts anyway.

Yeah youre right, the xp boost remains the same as per nathria. I guess I got fooled by the diamond rommath not being on level 1, where those free diamonds usually is at the start.

Giving the xp boost early certainly makes the investment more worthwhile, but the best news is certainly the dupe protection for those golden epics, which has been a scourge in my life ever since barrens.

 

Interestingly [card]lady deathwhisper[/card] is being given off in the paid rewards track. Being one of three legendaries in the path of arthas …

I think they've explained it before, that if you already own the signature card being offered for free then you get a chance at rerolling it to another one. Dont know how that works yet, because this expansion will literally be the first time its implemented.

Quote From GoddammitDontShootMe

Getting to discover the concoctions is really nice. Now that we know there are actually five possible concoctions, I'm wondering how many can be mixed at once. I figure probably not all five, if only because that much text wouldn't fit on the Mixed Concoction card.

Only two at a time. The …

Its so baffling that the cost is 6, for an effect that's given to priest at half the cost.

So we're left to assume that playtesting reveals this card to be a hit, somewhere. Closest thing I can think of would be [card]infectious ghoul[/card] or [card]plaguespreader[/card], both of which aren't exactly premier targets, more like annoying shit.

Not …

Its honestly a shit card that's so dependent on the meta it might as well be a tech card.

Because in what way will warlock ever play this card unless we're seeing 8/8 giants on turn 4 again? Even then, it needs an undead target and as yet there isn't really one that benefits from an awful lot of …

Its a deathrattle trigger for a near non existent deathrattle target

Closest thing I can think of would be [card]naval mine[/card], which might help soften up all those decks with renathals but otherwise doesn't really do much. You can crack eggs and make a good deal of stats, but if that was the play being expected then surely everyone …

The real clincher to me is actually how well and consistent [card]conjured arrow[/card] would work in practice, because the manathirst is currently the only thing stopping this card from absolutely transforming the hunter gameplan. Which is why I thought it would work in face hunter, because that deck suffered immensely from its lack of tempo in the early game and …

Its another in a set of clunky cards for hunter, but at least this card helps a little by at very least playable on 3 no matter the situation, unlike [card]silvermoon farstrider[/card].

I rate this card because you'll always be mulliganing for your 1 drops, not your arcane spells. So the best hand would likely be more than glad …

Im on the fence with this card. Because hunters dont draw very well in the early game so if youre dropping this on two youre essentially playing a river croc. And you might well be forced to do it, because hunters dont tend to play for tempo very well. So we're faced with a situation where this card can be …

Its not bad, but if you can't juice it with [card]silvermoon farstrider[/card] on 2, then this card is just not very good. But it does have a fairly nasty scaling, and plays for tempo pretty well so I guess if youre running those spell damage cards then this card would be a easy pick.

Like the rest of the …

The key is that this card can strike face.

So in addition to arcane shot you get another spell that's cheap and scales well with spell damage, and on top of that can play defence well. Flexible shit, which is what hunters need if they're ever going to play aggro in this meta again.

Its probably the highest power level card from hunter this expansion, because this card can literally draw you about 5 cards easily for 4 mana. Possibly more, depending on the juicing.

But I have a feeling that its manathrist condition renders it way too slow, which means you need to play for tempo, and that's not one of hunter's …

Oh dear, looks like [card]talented arcanist[/card] would be working over time next expansion it seems.

 

After a few expansions misses, this may finally be where face hunter makes a comeback. One of the persistent problems with hunter has always been its draw (outside of quest hunter) and [card]conjured arrow[/card] may well be the thing that finally allows …

That is one hell of a reveal.

 

Oh and the card's nice too.

One of the most bizzare cards to ever be printed.

Because Im still scratching my head as to why anyone would play this card over [card]illidari inquisitor[/card], or any of the big demons for that matter. Certainly weaker than all of them.

The only redeeming feature of this card is that it'll probably do some damage before going …
