Even with the buff Shaman is still going to be very low on the tier list.
Warlock's nerf hurts, but they deserve it. I'm sure they'll still do some wacky stuff with the Darkglare.
Willow will still see no play - even if there's a lot of mid-range demons they don't impact the board state. Also Demon Hunter has the best big demons around, what the hell?
As someone who got to legend with Rogue last month I'm only marginally upset that Secret Passage got nerfed - draw 4 is still real strong - but lemme tell ya - I've had plenty of games where 4 out of 5 cards were not going to win the game.
Cabal Acolyte's nerf means Convincing Infiltrator might come back in Priest decks since it has more health. but As someone who's had to go up against some priests I'm VERY happy this guy is getting the nerf stick.
I wish they'd fix the golden animations as well, there's a lot of cards that are just missing assets and what's the point of playing a vanity card if it doesn't have the whole art work on it?
you're right, it's 10 free packs, which is nice, but the packs pool from what's in the standard rotation, meaning that some classes will have less or more cards to pool from for their class packs.
10 classes = 10 months, we start in September, go to October and November which will have Classic, Year of the Dragon and the current Year of the Phoenix expansions. Then December is when the next expansion will be and new cards will be added to the rotation pool, which will be in January, Febraury and March class packs. April is when the new Year starts, which will remove the Year of the Dragon cards from standard, leaving a new expansion, which will be in the class packs for May and June.
So the first 3 classes will have about 80 cards in the standard rotation pool to draw from. The 4 classes that will have their packs after the next expansion will have like, 130 cards in the rotation pool? Finally the last 3 classes will have less cards in standard rotation to pool from, most classes get 10 new cards, and around the 50 from the leftover rotation so about 60.
What's more, the class packs that are given to us in the next year will have the new standard cards that Blizzard discussed in the AMA last month, so the last 3 classes will potentially have more valuable cards in their packs than the previous classes.
I'm happy Totem Goliath and Willow got buffed, now Totem Shaman may become more viable.
Willow still won't see play unless they add some stronger demons to Warlock's arsenal.
Cabal Acolyte not having 6 health is NICE for the people playing against priest, he was just as strong as Hidden Infiltrator, actually stronger, since he didn't need to die to activate his effect
I played Arena for the first time in YEARS because of this thread.
I too would like some minor changes to the gold amount, only because earning an amount ending in 5 doesn't help earn a pack, its an integer that just kinda stays there
I'll believe it! since I don't really know anything about Runeterra or the game it's based from
Am I the only guy who gets strong "ONiK Medhiv" vibes from this Taric dude?
Hey I got the quest too. Can we trade later today?
Fantastic! I was looking forward to playing with the little guy!
"ALL THIS STUFF...and disappointing Jaina..."
not goin' to lie, having "disappointing jaina" in the title gave me a chuckle.
oh what hot garbage
what's the point of a new vanity portrait for a character if there isn't something new to add to their flavor?
Especially one you have to buy?

I feel that one pack for defeating all 8 bosses is a little cheap, even if it's free.
That's a nice looking portrait.
If I understand standard then they'll be cards from Classic, Year of the Dragon and Year of the Phoenix? That's a pool of about 80 cards to draw from.
Most of these bundles cost somewhere between $10-$15, it's not a bad price for a starting player who needs to pad their collection of mage cards.
Your card back...so DELICIOUS
I got a golden Kel'thuzad and I wish I had a deck list to play with him in.
Oh this is real pretty, I can't wait to earn it
forgot what I got when I opened the bundle. But I was happy, that's what mattered

I don't like having to draw 30 cards for 50 gold
Got my 2 packs! can't wait to see if I got any epics or legendaries I'm missing !
I've gotten a pack already just by having twitch open on another tab, and it's muted since I'm at work.
it's not minimized but I'm not actively on that tab, either.
