Every single Wild set has at least one card returning except one.
Was it so hard to give us a something like a hunter handbuff synergy card since it didn't work out back than and now we have more tools? Trogg Beastrager, Rat Pack, Dispatch Kodo... Shaku the Collector as the Rouge legendary would also fit nicely.
It was Lifecoach's hunter deck that ran 2 river friggin crocolisks. it almost got me legend back in 2014, rank 1 with five stars, and then i lost 9 games in a row. And since then i haven't bothered to grind to legend in 6 years. So yeah, that one is very personal to me.
Miracle Rogue, Freeze Mage, Sunshine Hunter, Control Warrior, Reynad Zoo... And paladin being unplayable. Classic Hearthstone will be fun for awhile, but i don't think it has as much staying power as classic WoW. Still, all those announcements sound really good. And rotating core set means there should be a bit less power creep. If every year the card pool is completely different, then the fresh expansions don't need to necessarily be BETTER than old ones, they just need to complement this year's core set.
This is a very VERY scary announcement. Many old players like me could keep up with the game precisely because every year we had a large payday of free dust from a bunch of HoF cards. If that goes away, then we will be forced into buying packs or accept falling behind. THAT would be a much bigger blow to me personally, than the initial iteration of battle pass.
As a person who keeps an unopened pack of each type, this makes me happy. Looks great! I haven't had much luck googling for a list of all packs ever printed. Perhaps it could be an idea for a small article here? Was the Golden Scholomance the only pack not available in free to play?
Siltfin Spiritwalker, then Unite the Murlocs, then Underbelly Angler, and now this? They really want Shaman to have a murloc deck that can sustainably refuel. After they printed Angler i thought there's no need for anything better ever, but with the twist of repurposing rubbish murlocs into hopefully high-value threats this is an interesting option. I still predict that the effect won't be utilized and if this is played in a deck, then it's gonna be for a 3/4 murloc body with only a minor chance of bonus card generation.
I cannot believe this is getting printed. Effect is bonkers and 5 mana is early enough to be too highrolly when you draw it in time, and too lowrolly if you don't. And then - 5 is also odd-cost, making it busted in wild. Easy fix - nerf to 6 mana, but then it corrupts both the rushing mammoth and the bubbletaunt mech, all while being a demon, making both NZoth and YShaarj possibly too strong in paladin. Very dangerous design on this card.
What a waste. I have always wanted Trolden to reveal a card with some wacky highlight from the devs testing team. Or at least a regular reveal of some card relevant to his craft - something flashy or random or fun or completely unplayably dumb! And what he got was just a bog standard large minion with nothing interesting going on.
Let me guess, no new voice lines? And they made the Headless Horseman an Uther specifically for that reason. It's unfortunate that this is the first thought that came to mind - snarkily expecting a bummer instead of getting hyped for a cool skin.
Hello, it's not a 10 second google search, it's a 3-second hovering over a card! But otherwise that last paragraph makes a lot of sense. This is a much better explanation than ones given in the past and i'm a lot more willing to accept it, even though i would stil really like a keyword.
Broom is bonkers, and powercreeps everything in existence. Why even have cards without rush anymore at all? And there's still like 50% chance it will not be played in any high tier decks. Maybe a 1-of in Zoo.
Way overpriced. Don't like to have only 2 options of heroes? Pay 20 bucks a month. Will this sneaky move manage to slip by amidst tons of hype? Or do we expect backlash?

10/10 thank you, Wronchi! Best acquisition Blizzard ever made.

Eagerly awaiting a buff to Bartendotron.

And of course it has vanilla stats. Why wouldn't it? I'm getting more and mode mad at this game's design with every expansion.
So, how soon will this be nerfed to 1/2?
Ugh, so many cool designs and exciting cards, but why EVERYTHING must have good stats no matter how nutty the effect?
Deckbuff doesn't count for Hunter huh? Alright, fine, you pedants.

Yay, another free unique pack to keep unopened! Now would Blizzard kindly give us a free Mage pack for the collection?
