When it does happen, you destroy all of their minions and deal 30+ damage. Al'Akir with cleave or Rag makes this happen more than you'd think. Pretty toxic.
It's crazy to see how far Eddie was carried by deck selection this season. While Turtle Mage isn't a deck you particularly want to take to ladder, it is so strong in more limited tournament settings.
I'm not sure why other GMs didn't follow his lead.
People are not machines though. Firebat played the last match on Saturday and that one went very late, so I don't blame him for ignoring what is usually an unrealistically early check-in time on Sunday.
As a person in the same time zone who watched his final match against Bloodyface (and I believe it's on a delay for viewers), he was done @ 12:30 AM. That is more than enough time to sleep a full 8 hours and check in on time. And let's be honest, many of us go to work on less sleep than that regularly.
I'm as big a Firebat fan as anyone, but the rules are pretty clear. And they spent about an hour trying to contact him.
There's definitely room for both sides to improve here. Blizzard should probably figure out a way to keep to an actual schedule, even if something goes long. It's not that hard. The NFL, etc. do it all the time.
And Firebat should probably figure out a way to turn up the volume on his fucking phone so he can hear when Dan, TJ, and Simon are frantically calling him.
It totally sucks for him, in particular the fine. Especially b/c, looking at the rules, it feels more like a $500 fine rather than a $1000. He did show up. The decision "not to participate' was Blizzard's, not Bat's.
"4 mana, double the attack of your Aldrachi Warblades if you're swinging face."
There are some worlds where I am playing this card. But I'm not sure how many.
The side synergies with other lifesteal cards do not seem beneficial enough to be significant.
I know it seems crazy, but the fact that this card is neutral makes me think it may actually see some play somewhere.
Potentially impressive. Massive swing turn if the card pool is there.
Feels like an aggro card to me since it's easy to guess between 1 & 2.
I don't think it'd work in anything with high costs, because you'll have too much diversity in your deck to regularly get the payoff.
Who are these people still complaining about murlocs when they were among the only counters to elementals?
Al'Akir & Tempest giving cleave minions megawindfury or ds/p minions megawindfury was not fun.

Agreed - the buff from Maiev is almost meaningless.
These are all very good nerfs. I like how they nerfed some heroes without killing them (Hooktusk).
GL Boar!
RIP - my favorite streamer's competitive career.
He started out so well this year too.
Worth noting that I believe ETC is retiring as well. So 3 American GM spots will be open.
Finally time for Josh Graham? I remember him as a kid in his YGO days.
Arena hahahahahahahaha
A GM can probably become experienced with it...or at least they should be able to.

It's still not Highlander Hunter so it's still probably bad. But here's a cleaned up version of your idea.
Adorable Infestation
Wouldn't be surprised to see Illucia get hit one more time, but at least now she's a bit worse against aggro.

He was absolutely going to lose to Muzzy anyway.
They have said that Shadow Visions will work as normal.
