Tyrande (or any Darnassian Night Elf) celebrating the Fire Festival after the giant bonfire... ha! I know HS lore is its own thing, but that's still funny to me.
Wow, time flies! It's cool to see your excitement for the future of OoC and OoG. The new logo looks great, and I hope Derpcorn remains... as the favicon. Here's to many more years until we all run Out of Time!
Cool! It's nice to see them redesigning the tribes to fit more coherent themes, but I also wonder if they'll make substantial changes while they're examining each card. I haven't played BGs in a while, but when I did, games simply ended too quickly. I don't know if that's still the case nowadays.
As for the Beta tag, keep in mind that Beta doesn't just mean polish. It also means content, so it makes sense that the mode has been in Beta while they've added more tribes and features! However, I agree that it feels like it's a complete mode, so I think the tag will go away soon. I'm just not sure it'll be with this update. I want to see the removal of extra hero choices being a paid benefit someday, preferably before it is officially released.
Props to everyone who figured this out! Those who have the patience and dedication to hunt secrets are awesome. It's nice that we get a cool card back for it, too.
It's understandable to be turned off by his reaction, but - and I'm assuming you didn't, which may be wrong here - try to consider it from his perspective. How many times may he have been asked about the issue before you saw that particular response? Sure, streamers get paid to answer stupid questions all day, but everyone has a point where they say, "I'm done talking about it." I will say that even if he was exasperated, there are better ways to handle it; one way would be a chatbot command (something like !battlepass) that posts a premade response. Then, mods or other chatters can jump in and respond to people who ask about the streamer's opinion while the streamer focuses on being entertaining and answering other, less repetitive questions. I haven't personally watched him in years, so I don't know if he had something like that set up.
Looking at other comments here, it seems like his stance was as you described from the start. I just wanted to offer another factor in the judgements you might make about streamers.
Well, making things cheaper is almost always good enough to see play. Making things more expensive? Not so much. This Watch Tower card is cheap, though, and maybe that's enough to see play as a weird anti-tempo tech. At least its effect is permanent, even if its removed.
Cards like this can get kind of nuts, but the problem is your opponent has full control of how/when they remove it. I think it's good enough to include in a Secret deck, though.

Well, yeah. It's been on ice this whole time.

Very nice. I'm also glad they didn't go with "Varian Wrynn, Jigsaw Puzzle."
Well then.

Legend has it that as you lay your head on that blanket at night, faint, uproarious laughter can be heard in the distance.
It's okay, hopefully Elementals pop off enough to be worth the effort.
Should be solid enough to see play in most Druid/Shaman decks if they need bigger Turn 2 minions.
Versatile and simple to slip in to almost any turn. Gotta get a good payoff, though, since the minion itself is subpar.
ME TRADE? NOPE.
But... but trade = more face pain...
*SMOrc.exe has crashed*
Awwww crap. Fish is back on the menu, boys.
2 Mana 4/3? Yeesh. Good card.

Decent anti-aggro tool.
Yarr! Your face will be hurtin' after seeing this lass.
A natural complement to the Frenzy keyword. I like it.
Don't think it's good enough to put in your deck.
