    I recognized the art style pretty quickly. It's a nice style that blends well with turn-based games, apparently.

    If that's not the attack line, I'm sending Ridiculous Hat as strongly-worded letter.

    Welp, this is officially the weirdest card in the game. Not sure how playable it is, 7 mana for a 4/2 weapon is quite a lot. Interestingly, it has anti-synergy with both Branns.

    Also, looks like Warrior will be themed around cooking.

    Edit: Oh, happy birthday, Demon! Have a sandwich cake.

    The Dream: A deck that focuses on swarming the board, summoning and killing Ouroboros, then giving its Deathratttle to a lot of minions in your hand with Tamsin's Phylactery, with N'Zoth summoning a board of 8/8 Taunts in the process.

    The reality: Dead long before that happens.

    I didn't include it since it was "revealed" during Day 7. Thankfully, they updated the gallery (which I didn't expect, since it's the weekend), so it's there now.

    What are you talking about? The thumbnail is accurate. There's no vengeance. :p

    Edit: In hindsight, I can see this being really annoying for people who are excited for DH, but not Rogue (not to mention screwing over the person writing the reveal article, I know how that one feels cough Thijs cough). Personally, I like Maestra and Thief Rogue, so this didn't bother me that much, but I understand the annoyance.

    The location plus a quick explanation for how the card works from Leo:

    Sanc'Azel Card Image

    Quote From Leo Hearthstone

    Here's how Sanc'Azel works:

    The Attack of the minion is tied to the Attack-buff of the location

    The Health of the minion is tied to the Durability of the location

    If you play Blessing of Kings on Sancazel (+4/+4), making him a 7/12, and he attacks a 5/5, he will be a 7/7 location. The location then gives a friendly minion +7 Attack and Rush, and becomes a 7/6 minion because 1 Durability was lost from using the location.

    Also worth noting: if you attack -> use location -> attack, then he will be a CLOSED location

    I personally miss the end-of-reveal streams where they saved a few Legendaries for them. It was real fun seeing them in action right away. They probably made it so that pre-orders do better.

    This reveal season in particular, though, started really weird. You have the reveal stream day 0, a single reveal day 1, nothing the following day, then a few reveals for days 2 and 3 before the weekend break. If this reveal season was a plane, Patches the Pilot shot it out of the sky and forced a landing.

    This might just be the second best Ogre in the game, after our lord and saviour Boulderfist.

    Kinda weird that the reveal was in a "Blink and you'll miss it" moment. Definitely should've lingered on it some more. Really fun video otherwise.

    Funnily enough, this isn't the first time either princess is playable in a console game. Zelda was playable in Zelda: Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure for the CD-i (both of which received less than favourable reviews), while Peach was the main character in Super Princess Peach on the DS and, uhm... Princess Toadstool's Castle Run, a McDonald's watch toy form 1990.

    Zelda is also playable in Candance of Hyrule, while Peach was a playable character in a bunch of 2D Mario games, starting with the English version of Mario 2.

    All that to say, it's great to have both of them playable in high-budget games on the main console, even if the gameplay is quite different from the mainline games. Now give me a game where you can play as both of them and Samus, I don't care how contrived it is!

    I still have to finish the remake of the first one, but I like what I played. You'd expect Nintendo to release remakes of the other two as well by the time 4 comes out, but why make sense?

    Yep. I mention that very briefly, but didn't really draw attention to it.

    The original screenshot definitely says 30.0, and I can't imagine they'd release it with the expansion, since that would split the attention, so it'll happen soon. I'm guessing late June/early July, maybe with the Fire Festival?

    Well this just went from "Don't care" to "Can't wait"! LOVE the art style, and the gameplay looks like it'll be at least serviceable, if a bit generic. Long live the glider!

    Never played the previous Perfect Dark games, but this has me intrigued. A lot of gameplay elements in a neat package.

    I. Can't. Wait! I loved this game as a kid, even if I'm not a strategy guy. Hope they keep the cheat codes in.
