That's what I was just thinking: this on quest priest is going to be insane.

Pretty good card; however I think people are over-estimating how often they are going to be able to clone the dragon they want. Still: just the threat is going to make opponents need to clear big threats like [card]Dragonqueen Alexstrasza[/card] and [card]Veranus[/card] ASAP.

I'm in the same boat. If you drop it on Turn 3, it's a 2/5 body which has the potential to generate a 5/5 or two if unanswered--that's not bad! However, you basically need to run a [card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card] / [card]Mana Cyclone[/card] deck to make use of that threat, and those decks just too inconsistent to compete. I would say …

Most of the time, this will just be a vanilla 5-drop. It has a nice battlecry and a great tribal, but I'm guessing they won't be relevant most games.

Definitely a strong card. The only problem is: warlock has really struggled to make anything other than zoolock work lately, and zoolock doesn't want this at all. I'm guessing Blizzard is finally trying to offer warlock a control option; it remains to be seen how viable it is.

Quote From Bystekhilcar

Have to say I don't think I ever found Anivia to be a problem - in my opinion, if Anivia is causing issues you didn't pack enough removal. Her effect isn't even that powerful really, so long as she's not allowed to level before you can deal with her.

That's the crux …

Has there been any foreshadowing of how/if they'll try to manipulate balance? E.g., you mention Anivia as standing out: in Hearthstone Arena, Blizzard had been "bucketing" such that you'd have to chose between her and a few other powerful cards, then restrict your subsequent offerings to much lower power level. For MtG paper draft, every physical card in the tournament …

So do I go

• [card]Pogo-Hopper[/card], [card]Shadow Step[/card], [card]Brann Bronzebeard[/card],
• [card]Mechwarper[/card], [card]Galvanizer[/card], [card]Sn1p-Sn4p[/card],
• [card]Northshire Cleric[/card], [card]Inner Fire[/card], [card]Divine Spirit[/card] [card]Radiant Elemental[/card], [card]Power Word: Shield[/card]
• [card]Desert Hare[/card], [card]Evolve[/card], [card]Earth Shock[/card], or
• [card]Flame Waker[/card], [card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card], [card]Ray of Frost[/card]?

...I predict this brawl isn't going to be much fun.

EDIT: …

Quote From Demonxz95

I just found it funny is all. You normally don't see that many duplicates in a deck that run a Highlander card (or in this case, two of them).

It runs 8. The Holy Wrath paladin above it runs 9. Nomi Priest usually runs 10-11. Murloc Paladin would run 12.

I just want them to keep making cohesive themes. When I first heard of this, I thought "Oh great, this is going to be like Dota AutoChess and TFT where nothing is going to be intuitive unless you play the associated MOBAs", but they actually did an EXCELLENT job in creating distinct and memorable identities for each region. Ionia is …

Quote From Marega

Dont understand why they didnt ban oko from everything else.

The general consensus is that WotC considers this to be a flagship card for the expansion, wants it to feel impactful/meaningful, and is extremely reluctant to diminish its value so soon. I kinda get it: they want customers to be really excited …

Quote From Dabrinko

As I've started to collect the golden Classic cards, these are a nice addition. I also have two golden injured Blademasters now, yay!

Is it sad that I'll be happy just to get a 2nd [card]Injured Blademaster[/card] period?

I stopped spending gold towards classic packs, so I'm missing a lot of …

I dont think anything like that was revealed yet. I would say probably not. At least not yet.

But i dont see how this wont become extremely popular, so i think they will build upon it, might even make some tournaments later.

Will it really though? …

Quote From Vandaren

I mainly play paladin and just open Sir Finley of the Sands from a pack, always wondering should i also craft Zephrys the Great for all of highlander paladin variation out there..

[card]Zephrys the Great[/card] is probably the most all-around craft-worthy legendary from the set--it's used in 28% of all decks right …

My $0.02: I think you need to decide to either commit to aggro or control. 

If you want aggro: take out everything that costs more than 4 mana except of [card]Zilliax[/card] and look for more early board-control options like [card]Magic Dart Frog[/card], [card]Sorcerer’s Apprentice[/card], [card]SPELLZERKER[/card], [card]ARCANE MISSILES[/card], [card]MAGIC TRICK[/card], [card]RAY OF FROST[/card], a 2nd [card]Shooting Star[/card], and then a …

Quote From Kelian

I recently tried to defend Hearthstone as not "Play-to-Win", but the increase in the meta with Highlander decks makes the argument futile.  

I don't think it was any better pre-UoS. Meta decks have been >8k dust for as long as I can remember. Granted, that's not to say you can't make a …

Why [card]Witchwood Piper[/card]? I assume you don't really care about tutoring Thalnos or Loti--is it just for thinning the deck, or are you holding it until after you draw the latter and hoping to hit Floop?

Quote From etherealgears

I've always been kinda curious where midrange decks fall in this division. Intuitively, you might say they're halfway between aggro and control, but I feel like they tend to have a lot more in common with the former than the latter.

Lately, I've been feeling that "midrange" isn't a useful qualifier. To …

Am I the only one that sometimes wishes this information wasn't out there? Don't get me wrong--I'd never fault any player for wanting to know how to play better or any service for wanting to inform players. It's just that in Hearthstone, the mulligan is so powerful and most serious players will either use sites like HsReplay or just imitate …

Now your deck is looking more and more like the Whizbang highlander recipe plus Undatakah. ;-) I play that sometimes; it actually can be surprisingly effective; only has a 47% win rate on HsReplay, though.

For the sake of completeness, here are a few differences between that deck and this which you might want to consider:

+[card]ALDOR PEACEKEEPER[/card]
