    I am not understanding the change to Halkias. Does it now work even if the secret is still in your hand?

    Hit level 50 today thanks to the speedy dragon quest, and my free legendary was Topior! Off to druid decks I go.

    Oh, I like the event idea. 

    I do think there will be some sort of conclusion, as the name of the expansion is MURDER at castle nathria, and one the diamond legendaries is Sherlock/Murloc Holmes. 

    We'll be finding out more, leaving room for some kind of Agatha Christie style twist.

    Step right up, step right up, place your bets here. Who killed our dinner party host right in his own castle? And how? And why? 

    No spoilers, please, this is for fun. 

    My money is on the Fae.  Now druids don't generally feel like the "cold-blooded killer" type, but they have plenty of access to plant-based poisons and I think the Court is taking the anima situation very seriously. 

    Your guesses?

    If you goof up and create a public event, there is a nonzero chance that I will show up at your house. 

    And I will expect themed snacks. 

    Happy openings, all!

    "Mobile has had swipe to open"

    It does? How does that work? 

    As in, one swipe saves 5 taps, but each pack is treated as an individual entity, or something else altogether?

    I just took the murloc Finley deck to 8 wins, despite having ignored the Duels meta for several months. Thanks!

    I didn't (no disrespect intended, dear) because the only Hunter skin I will ever need is Sylvanas. 

    I'm fine with Blizzard making limited time offers, but a little notification is necessary. Stealth offers are zero fun, as well as bad for business.

    For the first few days, I like to play an old familiar deck to prey on all the opponents still figuring out the new stuff. #sorrynotsorry

    So I'll have to think about what will be the best counter to all those early Druids.

    There was a moment (a week?) in the past 6 months when several heroes were available this way. I remember debating if I needed to spend gold on Alleria. 

    But there was nothing in the shop about it, and no "new thing" notification, so it would have been super easy to miss.

    That's my assumption. The secret doesn't kill the minion, it moves it to the Rogue side of the board.

    Usually I don't wish for a Silence when playing against mage. 

    It will cast any mage secret, not just one from the deck, yes?

    This seems quite strong, assuming I'm understanding the effect correctly: it would take a turn off the clock for any Wildseed on your board.

    I thought it looked like a mech at first too, but on closer inspection, it looks more like a living building, so "sinstone golem" sounds right. 

    We've had sugar elementals, so why not, eh?

    I agree that the wording is a bit murky, but Kidnapping should be surprising. You should wonder what the heck is going on. 

    Also, I love it. I will absolutely be stuffing my opponent's minions in sacks come August. 

    I envision some sort of RNG achievement to go with it, perhaps: Stuff a legendary minion in a sack.

    Because we're in the Shadowlands, so more afterlife = more flavor. I guess. 

    I was not aware that elementals had souls.

    Tbh, I think the deck building tech might limit them here. I doubt Team 5 has the code in place to support the scenario where I'm creating a Rogue deck, and when I add Legendary Secretive Catburglar, then suddenly my pool of available cards increases by the number of other secrets in my collection. 

    I think you are correctly guessing that one of the Rogue cards we haven't met yet will offer access to other class secrets. I'll wager that it'll be a Battlecry: Add 2 random secrets to your hand. Infuse (2): Add 4. 

    Secret Rogue was a fun deck in the Galakrond era. I look forward to playing a fresh version of it.

    So have we seen all the murder suspects now?

    Shhh... that's a secret.
