I think [card]Tour Guide[/card] is a very good tempo card (you never lose tempo by playing it unless you save your hero power for a later turn) and this has direct synergy with it. Will that make it good in …

Sounds convincing enough to me, but as you said, Team 5's thought process can be completely unpredictable at times so speculation can only go so far.

I could see this being run in face hunter as a way to trigger your [card]Leper Gnome[/card]s immediately, but that's a fringe case and I don't really see it fitting in anything else.

So it's [card]Wild Pyromancer[/card] + [card]Equality[/card] on one card for half the cost?

And I can also run it in my Control Warrior?

Say less!

It says "Whenever," so yes.

Seems a bit early to make that kind of claim considering we haven't seen even a third of the cards yet.

In every way possible, yeah. New keywords and mechanics that were either completely useless or completely broken on a case-by-case basis, and other cards that didn't use those mechanics ended up being some of the strongest cards in the set …

That's what I usually do, then once all of the cards are revealed I re-evaluate my ratings

Ah yes, Half-Life Alyx isn't a Half-Life game, how could I be so naive? God forbid a company tries new things. You say they should concentrate on what made them the company they are today as if they aren't already …

As far as I know, you still buy the base game but you won't have to buy cards anymore. Who knows though, maybe they'll make it free to play and just make their money off of cosmetics like they do …

they literally just released a half-life game

I'll admit it could be bias talking, but I think so long as the game is good the price tag shouldn't be an issue. CSGO still had well over 300k concurrent players at a $20 price tag before going free …

I'm actually super excited for this. I loved Artifact but it went on to prove that physical card game monetization does not work in a digital setting, and that fact had a big hand in ruining the game.

How is making [card]Torrent[/card] cost 1 worse than making it cost 2?

I still wish Rolling Fireball got a more unique animation. Like, have the fireball fall from the sky and then actually roll to adjacent minions, rather than just the vanilla fireball effect bouncing back and forth

Just a correction here, you can't play [card]Germination[/card] on [card]Winged Guardian[/card] because it can't be targeted by spells

Did you read the post? They obviously are

I think it's better this way than adding a bunch of trash neutral epics that you would never want to open, like they usually do

Having the Zixor package in there feels like it would just make the deck less consistent, since your Scavenger's Ingenuity could hit that or his prime. Now that we've seen all of the hunter cards, it would probably be better …

The feeling I get when seeing these is the same feeling I got when I saw [card]Scargil[/card]: disappointment that they forewent anything interesting and resorted to murlocs instead.

Except it's worse this time because at least murlocs fit shaman …
