I have to be honest, I don't like the removal of charge from everything. Team5 could've just left at least one in standard, this one for instance, so the dream of pulling out some combo will still be possible. I remember the dead days of boar hunter, in AoO, made possible precisely because it had charge, and gave hunter a semblance of a chance in that trying tempo dhunter period. Guess we won't ever be seeing any more of that.
On its own, its bad. Basically for a class that can't draw for shit, every card must count, and this one happily runs itself to its death the same turn you play him, with no obvious combo of either keeping him alive or doing some really powerful stuff. Is there any reason to not play say, Arcane Shot, or Backstab, or in fact any other card, instead of a 1 mana deal 2 to a minion? The only thing I can think of to justify a card slot would be Saddlemaster, an equally weak card in its own right.
Perhaps this signals that team5 is going to print something that will cheapen beasts in hand, in which case there's a sliver of an opportunity for new boar to actually see play. But until then, this is trash, topped only by new Bluegill Warrior.
There are other game modes other than Constructed, you know. It will be pretty good Arena card, probably Duels too, and can appear in Brawls. Definitely not a useless card by any means in the set.
And If anyone can say that what will happen the Classic Packs and will they offer Basic cards, I will be appreciated as well.
That is actually a very good question. They will technically become Wild packs, eh?:D To be honest, i think they will stay without change, they will still reward Classic cards and thats it. At best they might throw in Basic cards, but im not too sure about that.
I believe they responded that, internally, not everyone on the dev team agrees with this change, so given the community feedback, there is a possibility, that there will be a Wild version and a Core version of Bluegill and Stunetusk :o
Alex will be just a really annoying card to have exist. If not run outright, which i think that will happen, Discover and random effects giving you 8 face damage is going to be quite annoying for your opponent.
Oh, good point! Can you technically give Illidari Inquisitor "windfury"? If you attack with it, and then your hero attacks too? Pretty sure that's how it would work, right? But i imagine the order will matter, if your hero attacked first, it might use up Inquisitors attack for the turn.
Big difference is that new Alex can be a finisher. Old Alex could only start you up. Not to mention that it will get broken with other cards that create (cheaper) copies, it just will :) Also, Wild.
i definately think the Win 5 Ranked games should be changed to win any 5 of any vs player mode (so excluding any PVE).
We were promised "play hearthstone your way" so I don't see why people should be forced to play ranked if they don't want to. I play pretty much ranked exclusively anyway so not a major issue for me, but I don't see why others should be forced.
That would be awesome, since i dont play ranked pretty much at all, and i cant be bothered to achieve 5 wins per week. If i could complete it in BG or Arena, that would be good for me.
But i do understand the decision behind it, promoting the main game mode and to win, you need cards = trying to boost sales.
Lol I'm still not use to the new acronym -- I saw this threat title and thought it might have something to do with the launch of a new Fitbit-integration feature. :-P
What is the significance to the colored coating on her daggers? Green = poison, Blue = freeze/immune(?), Purple = Lifesteal? Or something completely different?:)
I think they want to do a similar thing they did with Pirates, where they want to introduce higher cost murlocs first to set precedent and then follow up with an expansion some time later. I guess there is already a 6-cost one, maybe they want something more tangible. Im not sure if they can put a sole focus on murlocs, but they can definitely give them a bigger part, i believe.
It's like a neutral Swipe. If Dragonmaw Scorcher can see even a minuscule amount of play, Samuro will get to see play as well.
More like Arcane Explosion than Swipe, i guess one minion does get 2 dmg, so a baby-swipe :) But with some (hand)buff action, this could clear a lot. Still decent as is tho.
Return of the legend?

Pretty strong card, and will definitely see play as a finisher at least. Will slot into most control decks for sure.

Congrats!

It can go over taunt tho and if you need to trade with it, it keeps all health, it is better.

Aaaaand done :)
Alexstrasza the Life-Binder. Neutral Pyroblast on a stick, eh? Riiiiiiight. This will totally no get abused. At all.
Ay, Secrets can burn in hell 🔥🔥🔥
