    I'd imagine they will be better prepared now and will be able to show more matches. In the last tournament the main issue was that the idea of the traditional "caster studio" setting was scrapped only a day before the streaming was supposed to happen. That didn't leave enough time for Blizzard to get a different setup running for Swiss rounds.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if an Empower-like mechanic makes it into Hearthstone. And Doomseer is definitely the type of card you'd like to see using it, exploring the full potential of the keyword by offering strong flexibility for different matchups.

    Thanks for noting. Even though SN1P-SN4P is pretty strong in this deck I've decreased the amount of copies to 1. The deck seemed to have 31 cards so I'm assuming a misclick when building it, especially since there are two copies of almost every other card.

    There's always a lot of decks to choose from and I usually just save those that didn't quite make it for next week. But since you asked, I'll give you the Highlander Menagerie madness from stewartpid which was on my shortlist:

    Since Basic cards cannot be crafted I would imagine there will be a way to get those by leveling. Although I can't remember them ever mentioning anything about leveling, but I'm at least hoping that's going to be a thing for some incentive to play instead of just dropping them all to us after the Prologue campaign.

    Since the Initiate cards have a rarity and therefore a dust cost (although I wouldn't count on them being disenchantable right away) I'd assume those won't be given to us for free.

    EDIT: This has been confirmed, golden Basic cards are leveling rewards (Source).

    No, although a lot of people, myself included, have already gotten the quest today. Classic Blizzard coding.

    I've also heard that there are more changes than what was listed in that blog. Wouldn't be the first time Blizzard doesn't share everything with us.

    No threads so far but we did make a post: https://outof.cards/legends-of-runeterra/1020-new-legends-of-runeterra-region-and-champions-teased-in-latest-datamined-sound-files

    You can naturally discuss it further here in the forums as well.

    You don't have to disenchant it. They will give you the dust AND you can keep the card. Also, unlike nerfs, the disenchant cost doesn't rise with this rotation, it would still be 1600.

    Only if you plan to disenchant the golden copies after the rotation. That way you will gain dust. Otherwise you would still be losing dust.

    The official blog says "available in-game and on the Battle.net web shop through April 6".

    You would end up losing dust as they will count as extra copies and will not be refunded.

    Nice to see a card that rewards the most skillful element of this game, topdecking.

    They were just briefly mentioned in the Year of the Phoenix announcement video where they showed their plan for the entire year. There are some small pieces of information about the game mode flying around though:

    • Uses our own collections (mentioned in the video).
    • Similar in scope and scale than Arena (also video).
    • Will likely involve Wild sets (hinted at in an interview).

    I believe we have a speculation post upcoming at some point when card reveals allow us to finalize it. Stay tuned.

    I'm pretty sure I wrote Dragon initially but I may be mistaken. I very much agree nonetheless and will swap it back.

    Now that was a blatant error, should've noticed it. Thanks for pointing it out. Seems like my English has been sub-par on the day of writing this.

    Seems like they managed to do it. Stream is up and proper action begins in 15 mins.

    I believe Blizzard has said they intend to revamp more classes in the future, but in smaller scale than Priest. We'll see what ends up happening.
