Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron. My lord and savior is back and no card yet has managed to top the hype I feel for this one.
I am looking forward to playing the maximum amount of these in my games. Tortollan Pilgrim is a second one, but my key intentions to use it are related to Yogg's mighty return anyway.
Not sure how you can get that many on board, nor how you can clear all enemy minions so the 30 damage goes face, but I have a feeling Open the Waygate and Molten Reflection might have something to do with it.
It's probably trash for murloc shaman, but it will work wonders as a better devolve. Would you rather turn an 8-drop into a 7-drop or an 8-drop into any murloc? And your totems are probably turning into better minions too!
I'll try to win with all four classes and then just continue completing quests there but other than that I'm not pushing for reveals. If Blizz had some sort of indicator on where we're at currently, it might encourage me to play more.
Yeah, it is a bit annoying to not know what we're currently in. In the past we'd get a completion bar of sorts
Part of me wants it to fail, just to put Blizz in an awkward spot with the Legendary card reveal. I'm sure they would just present it in some other way (give it to a streamer), but it would be amazing if they truly did not.
We've had this with the Kabal reveals and Blizzard really ended up not showing the Warlock legendary back in Gadgetzan. I'm fairly certain they will do it again.
It's quite simple. It's a fun addition to a spellheavy mage. You're going to finish it sooner or later and it just gives you more value in the long run. No actual competitive list is going to run it obviously (unless the meta is focussed entirely on who generates more ressources), but it certainly won't hurt to throw into cyclone mage. It's not like the deck has a turn 1 play and the -1 card just happens to be a slight downside.
This seems laughably easy to pull off in wild. I've seen Mages hit 10 spells on turn 2. Probably not worth running over the time warp though. Pretty easy in standard too, but not as easy. If not for that new 2-mana quest guy, this would probably not be playable. I hope mage does not get more cheap spells or spell reduction cards
I think this might be able to synergize with Time Warp, to be honest. Mages might prefer to put in defensive spells instead of random generators and simply rely on hero powers to complete the second quest.
Garr (4th boss) absolutely destroys most other decks, with the exception of Hagatha thanks to that 3-mana board clear she has. Toggwaggle even gets to kill himself faster with THE CANDLE. Lazul needs to get lucky and get a Mass Dispel or she is doomed too.
The last two seem to be the worst of the four, but I could have just been unlucky.
My first try was a great success with Dr. Boom, even with relatively lousy treasures like the Deathrattle totem (0 warrior synergy) and Extra Pockets (the least useless of the 3 choices). The 7 Boombots on turn 4 were usually enough to clear any board and deal face damage, and the second hero power bomb is just overkill. I am yet to be able to get past Garr with 2 classes and beat Ragnaros with the third one, and the three are discordantly difficult in comparison to Dr. Boom.
So yeah... to be honest, I highly doubt it is worth it to grind with anyone but Boom. Technically, you can beat Garr if you open each chest on the lookout for answers to his initial board, but it just feels pointless to start every run with such a huge impediment on the 4th boss.
Let's be honest here: Barnes, as terrible a design as he is, won't destroy Big Priest upon being nerfed. Blizzard is kind of right to be hesitant about nerfing a legendary if it won't even bring the worst offender down.
Blizzard could use the reborn mechanic to revamp the resurrection cards. It fits thematically, at the very least, so its introduction is their chance. Not a nerf, not a buff, just a complete change in playstyle. The chance is there now to kill off Big Priest without destroying Barnes, who is much more crucial to other janky decks.
I can't think of a single reason not to pick this card back, even if you only have two of them.
Yeah, I am kind of disappointed that this is what we get after two days without reveals :/
Most classes will prefer Vicious Scalehide, but the demon tag might have some hidden potential.

Infinite 2 mana 4/3s by itself is pretty great. The refreshing bit is just the icing on the cake.
I won't say it is bad, but I will be less than thrilled to open it, for sure.
Fuck this brawl. Someone make it stop. I literally cannot stop drawing expensive shit.
Fuck the deck designs, fuck Anomalus, fuck the Hunter starter deck, fuck every single time I had to repeat this sorry excuse of a game mode.
Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron! Deck of Wonders! It's a dream come true!
6 of these are 30 damage.

Writing and gameplay in one. Beautiful :')

I'm legitimately curious if people are actually trying to reach the legendary reveal after beating the Blackrock Crash run.
Are you grinding or did you stop once you got all the rewards?
Personally, I am completing all the quests I can in the Brawl for now, but I've only beaten 22 bosses so far.
This man gets it
Swamp King Dred might fit your description

Dr. Boom MURDERS everything in his path.

You know, Esparanta, I really like the way you format your decks. The coloring makes it much better at drawing the attention of readers.
As for the deck itself, it looks very fun. I might try to sneak in a Hecklebot to annoy my enemies even further, especially Pogo Rogues.

Personally, I'd much prefer this to killing off Eternal Servitude, Resurrect and Lesser Diamond Spellstone, even if I dislike the cards to bits.
