It's almost worth being site staff just to see the kind of thing Avalon normally says in the discord chan. That dude be writing cheques his stomach can't cash :)
I've just woken up, and only briefly looked at the card while catching up on todays reveals. Initially I thought it was something along the lines of Plot Twist but doing for the opponent also if outcast position.
I thought that's going to be a total nightmare and totally unfair. They've often said they try to address unfair unfun things especially where's there no counter.
Then I read the card text again.........................
I'm not going to downvote you - I understand why All Lives Matter is considered by some to be potentially racist. Though I personally don't actually agree it is all cases because many (including me) would mean the literal meaning of it without any negative subtext. But I don't tweet it or have it tattooed on my forehead as I know it may give the wrong impression to some.
I think both ALM and BLM are perfectly reasonable things to think and say - depending on context, intent and audience of course. There seems to be a consensus amognst many on Social media that ALM is racist in all circumstances which I find to be a shame. Not helped that some have used it in a racist manner designed to downplay issues that many black people face.
For the avoidance of doubt, let me state (as I have a few times on this site), that my default position is to treat everyone with respect and fairly irrespective of race, religion, sexual orientation/identity. I expect people to behave reasonably without unnecessarily causing harm to others whatever the demographic of the individual. And people that flout that should be stopped from doing so - again reasonable and appropriate to those specific circumstances.
Sorry for posting this here - one has to be careful where you express these things and the vast majority of members here seem reasonable. Just feels good to put down my thoughts somewhere.
And if people reading this don't agree with the above - that's totally fine and I respect that too. Maybe I'm wrong (a good thing to consider whatever your views are on any subject). I hope it's recognized that it was coming from a good place wishing fairness for all though. If you are reading this in the future and terms I've used are now ultra offensive, please consider it in the time and with the intent I wrote it.
Less damage, so less board control potentially allowing opponent to challenge your pirates.
But more than that the lower attack means Dread Corsair (s) are slower in hitting board rather than perhaps coming out all at once. Opponent I just played in last 10 minutes was playing Bloodsail Raider also though I think that less standard.
That said I don't really play this deck and am much more used to playing against it.
Goodbye card reveal countdown timers - see you in 4 months!
Can't wait to see what decks people come up with for this.
I hope they playtested this in wild a bit :)
Yeah the anti-meme meme squad. Those guys are pretty militant. They asked me to join but I didn't fancy the uniform or the facial tattoo requirements.
I don't want to be unkind, but this comment made my day :)

What are they doing? What does this newly established class identity disruption ability mean for the future?
Are other classes not allowed to play Hearthstone properly anymore?
(and other such incredulous questions)

If this sees a lot of play, then I won't.
I play a fair bit of disco lock in wild, and don't think it's good in that deck.
Given that I think that and can't rate cards properly, that probably means it's really good.
Seems good for zoo though, which also means it probably isn't.
ok - wait until you do before commenting :P (j/k)
Was thinking the same thing - but of course you can't compare cards from different classes.
So glad Amazing LP got a reveal - and what a way to kick things off.
Would have liked more Jania but hey - overall 9.9/10!!! :)
Nice one my friend - great job feels pretty good doesn't it! :)
I miss the 2 monthly rotations due to free ticket (and hence pack) - must be disappointing to regular arena players who love a more exciting meta.
I guess as long as people aren't expressing messages of hate then I don't mind them downvoting either you or me as much as they like.
Even though we see things slightly differently on a few issues - we put our points across respectfully and with no hate involved.
I can live with the consequences in terms of popularity - and have little doubt you aren't too distraught either.
Working at Blizzard, but not Team 5 though. I hope that Team 5 is still a great place to work as it always seemed to look after it's people.
Just seems a lot have people have left it - but that might be quite normal. Fingers crossed they recruit great people still.

Is this normal churn of staff or is there something very wrong internally?
Whether that's management, the company itself or other issues? I guess we can only speculate.
All the best to all those that have left recently.
Actually I think it's a big change.

Or those fools who play on all 3 regions NA, EU and Asia.
Man I'd hate to be one those guys!
Oh wait, I am. Nooooooooooo!
