I'm curious how bugged will be interaction with Sylvanas.
Looking at the trailer, the ampendeges are summoned before the rest of the Battlecry happens. So the Maw can be taken. If I'm not wrong, a minion doesn't count as summoned until it's Battlecry finishes, so Sylvanas can ONLY take the Maw if you have nothing else on board.
Next, it all comes down to what counts as being on the board first, the main Colossal or its ampendeges. If the latter, and you take the Maw and trade it when your turn comes, your minions go puff, since the Maw triggers first. If the former, you get your minions back.
If you can get Gigafin, and it counts as being summoned first, your opponent has your board.
Looks like the thing for Naga is holding them in hand while casting spells to gain an effect, and spells that gain an effect if you played a Naga while it was in hand.
Falvour-wise, this seems to be two murlocs held together by some sort of Old God goo. So I'm guessing whatever Gigafin eats, it goes into the Maw. Kill the Maw, and you've killed your friends that it ate. Kill Gigafin, and you break the goo, releasing everyone.
Something that just occurred to me is cards that generate a lot of junk in your hand are great with this. Like Licensed Adventurer or Razorpetal Lasher. Replace those cards with good stuff from the bottom of your deck. Doesn't mess with draws, either, unless your deck gets shuffled, and it's nice fatigue buffer. Not sure there's anything like that in standard, though.
Oh, you misunderstand. I LOVE the way players take turns playing minions, and the spell speeds are great. My issue is literally with how minions bonk each-other in the face. If you could choose what minions to attack into (basically if all of them had Challenger), it'd be the perfect game for me.
OR, you could join up with Legends of Runeterra, which is basically all of that, but we know FOR SURE that you never, ever have to spend money on cards. Period. Full Stop.
Wouldn't compare the two, since Runterra has very different mechanics that not everyone might like (I, for one, don't like the combat).
Still not touching Skyweaver with a mile-long Pokey Stick because it uses crypto crap.
I mean, sure - not liking the combat is a good reason not to play LoR.
I just cannot really comprehend, personally, why anyone would not like the combat system of LoR. Assuming they take some time to get used to it.
My issue is that it's a reactive system (your opponent attacks, and you choose what to block with), while I prefer more proactive versions (you can choose what you attack into), like Hearthstone.
Regarding the year long story, they seem to be alternating between them, since there was no story in 2020, but there was one in 2019. We'll have to see how 2023 will be.
Judging by the wording, you can at least not choose the same target twice.
This also goes face, which is nuts!
People say Boar Priest, but that deck has so many ways to resurrect the thing, it'll hardly be affected.
Shudderwock gets killed by this instantly after the first copy is played.
Can't really think of anything else, unless this affects Reborn.
You saw nothing!
1/4th Survival of the Fittest for 1/10th mana.
Well, Crabatoa hasn't always been this glam
I was a drab little crab once
Now I know I can be happy as a clam
Because I'm beautiful, baby

I assume it works like Star Aligner and it's implied "at least 3". So if you cast 5 spells, you get 5 back, assuming you have hand space.
There's a lot of 1 and 2 costs Pirates, you can easily combo this on 3 or 4 Mana.
From the reveal video. Lifedrinker in the Core Set and this is definitely the Year of the Hydra.
Exactly what I was thinking. Oof!

Didn't think I'd see the day Rothos, the Traveler makes it to Hearthstone.

Mal'ganis, Malorne, Mogor, Troggzor. Lots of legs that have nothing to do with goblins and gnomes as far as I can tell.
Granted, it was their first expansion, and were still using existing art, so there's that.
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream!
Nagaly, Nagaly, Nagaly, Nagaly,
N'zoth wakes from his dream!
