Quote From Zwane

Well its twice as good as the original...which is in accordance with the overall feel of the upgrades in my opinion. But I miss some spells like Pyroblast? Why isn't that on the list.

The list contains only basic spells, not all Classic ones.

but Tome of Intellect is a common. 

I wonder why they would do all the basic mage spells, and then one random common one, it doesn't make much sense to me.

Quote From Horus

I'm having mix feeling on HS Battleground: On one hand, they are finally implementing a new mode - which is nice, even if it doesn't seem this exciting to me - on the other, tournament mode has yet to even surface and been on their ''to do'' list for quite some time now. I do hope it will be better than what I'm expecting it to be, that's my only wish.

Actually, Tournament mode has been off of their 'to do' list for a pretty long time now. They have officially announced that they are not going to ever do a Tournament mode, and yet there have constantly been people asking when that is going to come out. 

There is no Tournament mode. And there never will be.

Quote From Unreal89

Positive thing is, that they try to do something new. But that's it in my opinion.

 

At first glance it looked like a really low effort, because practically all interface and cards - are reused.

After watching about 3-4 hours of Kripparian stream... my opinion got only worse.

Long story short - I think Battlegrounds will not have enough variety. Which means - low replayability, so probably it will not last long. It is not possible to survive without Blizzard support.

 

It's nice to try something new, especially before next year Standard rotation, that's it. I hate to be this negative, but that's what I feel.

We can really expect more effort from Blizzard. Personally I hoped they announce Auto Chess, but... based on Heroes of the Storm characters. They have so many nice characters there... (I play HotS casually sometimes).

 

In case of HS, I wait for some interesting new modes. For example I so much want to play Sealed format. I hope they can introduce new mode next year.

Well of course they would reuse the cards/interface. This is not a new game, it is a new game mode. Which means that you are still playing Hearthstone, and you are still playing with Hearthstone cards, but in a new way.

Arena exists as a 'sealed' format, so I am not sure why you bring that up as though it hasn't been a thing for ever. 

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

yeah, no, we're all going to hate this immensly after about 3 days.

just slap a dragon package into Quest Shaman. Draconic Lackey already makes this more consistent. So aside from Sandstorm Elemental and MCT you'll also have to worry about getting flamestriked at 3....hitting coincidentally the exact same number of minions that you would play to not play into MCT.

I'm gonna give this expansion a chance, but I feel like I'm just gonna quit after two weeks.

yeah, I have a feeling this will quickly get nerfed to 5 mana. Just compare it to any other damaging spell shaman has access to.

Mark my words. Shaman will get nerfed.

Quote From Almaniarra

This card is To My Side! of this set.

Mark my words.

It will see more play than you thought.

yeah, the rogue glakrond has such a powerful battlecry when fully invoked, so I imagine that all rogue invoke cards will be better than we think

Quote From PopeNeia

Alright, some news on how this works: after being played, you WILL NOT receive any extra mana. It sets both player’s empty mana crystals to 10, but no actual usable mana crystals for the player that played him.In other words, as playable as Temporus...

I don't know, if you are playing a control deck and are facing an aggro deck, it would be pretty useful to just jump ahead to the late-game.

I hope warlock is really good. Rafaam is supposed to be the leader of the league of evil, but so far warlock hasn't had a single tier 2-1 deck this year. I hope Rafaam makes more of an impact this expansion.

Quote From scuac

Do the mana crystals come full or empty? I would expect it to be empty, which means yes you just dropped an 8/8 but your opponent is the first one to get access to a full ten mana. On the other hand if the crystals come in full this is broken.

if it works like Mojomaster Zihi then you will gain full mana crystals, but any mana you have already spent this turn will stay empty. So playing this guy at 4 mana will leave you with 6 mana open.

This is just an educated guess, so don't quote me on this.

I must say, these videos have been getting better. This was pretty fun to watch.

NOW LETS SUMMON DEATHWING!!! 

well, its not too hard to find cards that are better than sprint.

That would make a lot of sense. I was kinda worried that with 7 people losing each round it would discourage people from playing unless you were a super good player.

This is going to be great! 6 mana 2/8 if your holding a dragon Polymorph an enemy minion!

This is going to be a good card, mark my words.

why would people try and grind this for gold? 

There are 8 players, only 1 will win, which means that your odds of winning aren't as good. And I imagine that these games will go a lot slower than a regular 1v1 match.

This card will probably be too slow to be good. But I am very excited to try some weird greedy control decks with this.

This mode looks super fun! It is about time we got a new game mode for hearthstone. I can't wait to try it out!

I don't think sidequest will work just like a quest.

My guess is It will work like the spellstones in KaC.

well Marin the Fox had the KaC watermark on him, but he doesn't show up in packs. 

I am not saying he 100% will not be in packs, but the watermark doesn't mean anything.

Quote From iWatchUSleep

Compared extremely poorly against Backstab. Invoke is not worth nearly 3 mana.

yeah, it is too bad it is limited only to un-damaged characters. 

Do we know what the hero powers are?

Quote From iWatchUSleep

Ah, a 3-drop with 1 health. Just what warlock needed!

yeah I don't see this being very useful unless you really need to invoke galakrond.
