You can replace loatheb w/ another Fogsail - but spell disruption seems so important in meta atm. All the card draw is baked into the weapons, so in Aggro-based mirrors keeping the (4) cost weapon is typically a strong consideration. Early on I was tossing the weapon and running out of steam.
I would recommend the spell-less version of pirate warrior (avoids OMY and secret mage issues). I had a 70+% WR to legend with it over 35 games. Absolutely steam rolls mage (both secret and APM).
The new 4 mana weapon is great draw and very good into other aggressive decks in the meta (murloc shaman, pwar mirror, secret mage). Two corsair caches is very 'meh' in a meta where you need to kill the opponent by turn 5-6.
Secret rogue is a meta sleeper I think. It was already very effective into paladin... but it lost hard to mage. With DoL pushed to 4, it has more game into mage.
Face hunter was also very effective into mage pre-nerf and ok into pally (~40% WR?).
To say meta is solved is pure BS. Paladin is still strong... but I think there is enough breathing space for other decks to try and counter it w.out getting crushed in the mage MU.
Also bring on the tier 3 warlocks -- they are free wins for me as long as my Alex isn't milled.
This card is a mini Gadgetzen auctioneer that works on minions w/ BC or combo cards. With Foxy, cheap combo cards, and penflinger as a card -- this has such huge draw potential while also developing tempo.
I hope that this is the start of the Dev Team exploring "permanent enchantments" as well. It would be great to see the "secret tree" as a way to implement permanents similar to MtG, as it creates new layers of game play experience.
I love cardbacks and I think the art has gotten incredibly better on them. March ladder reward is amazing with the animation, design, and colors.
I do wish that I could actually see my card back more. I think it is a missed opportunity that the card backs we collect only only visible in the "deck" tray. I would like to see them change it such that I can see more of my card backs - especially when you enable random!
The scenery reminds me of Badlands and specifically Uldaman would be a great place for adventures to look for treasures. That was such a cool Classic dungeon. There is also a horde base at Kargath that is located in a canyon.
OMG, they did it! I was hoping for a new weapon buff for rogue and they delivered. Oh boy, Kingsbane, Odd Rogue, Weapon Rogue in standard... I have a lot of tinkering to do. :D
Agree with the Galas and Bird. Rogue GK created very cool shenanigans in wild w/ pillager. Shaman needs love where ever it can get it. It also won’t be broken in wild.
Bird at three would give much needed counter play to Reno decks. Reno decks will always be oppressive in the eternal format as the HL cards so broken in card design. Odd decks (and others) would run bird and I think this would lessen Reno Priests grip on format.
DQA - awful and lazy card design. Leave as is.
Brann - meh, whatever. Double Krush is lame. 8 seems fine to me.
That sounds similar to my back of the envelope calculation as well.
The 20% tavern pass bonus really impacts gold gain post level 50. In reaching the (non-gold) reward cap, I think the tavern pass results in almost ~1200g more... as you reach level 58 w/ the pass in the same amount of xp a non-pass would take to reach level 50.
For me to buy the tavern pass (aside from wanting certain cosmetics), I want to be getting > 100G/ 1$ spent. I think this seems rather easy to do, since the play time rewards will add up over the course of the expansion period. For me this is ~level 64 w/ tavern pass. That would require ~3-4h a week of play if the 400xp/h rates are true (480xp/h w/ pass)
Assuming we reroll all 800xp dailies (as we probably should), we can expect ~1054xp/daily, which is ~7.4kxp / week.
Weekly quests are 6kxp/ week.
This is 13.4kxp/week (w/out the play time included). This extrapolates to about 214k for 16 weeks, allowing even "low time commitment" to obtain rank 50 in the progression system.
I am a bit disappointed in the rewards... at rank 50, you accumulate a little more than 4k gold and 16 packs (though they are OLD ones). I think the economy hurts gold stashed for the future expansion. I routinely have 6-10k gold btw/ expansions. It remains yet to be seen if the play time xp equates to enough gains to make up for the huge gap in gold returns btw/ old and new system.

Sure thing, here is what I used:

Though I am very confused... I got 680 dust. No combination of golden common, rare, epic would add up to that?!
I only bought the golden classic bundle.
Argh - I am so disappointed. I lost 1600 dust because I DE'd after opening.
Do we know if we get full dust value if we already disenchanted?
I know for sure I got that golden epic "Stablehand" from the golden classic packs. I DE'd the Stablehand because it was garbage xD
And I pulled Nataline from the Tavern Brawl pack (but I can't remember which day I played it! - hopefully Thursday lol).

I want to abuse it. :)
Same situation (only missing Rattlegore, which is worth a craft).
I dusted Alura and Keymaster (he was golden).

What time is reveal? I can't find it anywhere. I wish they did it like DMF Races w/ a class every hour. Small digestible bits rather than a data dump.

I'm hoping the DMF card back is available again. I missed that month due to my son being born! I love that card back and DMF in general! Hype.
#NewRogueHeroWaitingRoom
In all seriousness, how does rogue only have 2?! The same as DH, which was just released!
Golden Kael'thas! YAAAAASSSSS!
