    Mage spells are generally good. Combos are generally easy to pull off. (1)-cost 1/2s are a solid statline. This is a pretty nifty card and I think we'll be seeing her around quite a bit.

    Yup, i agree that this card will probably slot itself into many decks, maybe more so into Rogue decks than Mage, but both could be true.

  • I dont like this card :)

    Trying to think up the biggest burst without random shenanigans.

    Came up with this 9 card combo (lol) for 26 damage:

    Card Mana Damage
    Ethereal Augmerchant 1  
    Diligent Notetaker 2  
    Lava Burst 3 6
    Diligent Notetaker 2  
    Lightning Bloom 0  
    Lightning Bloom 0  
    Lightning Bloom 0  
    Lava Burst 3 6
    Lava Burst 3 6
    Lightning Bolt 1 4
    Lightning Bolt 1 4

    This can be higher if you factor in Vashj Prime or Far Sight discounts.

    Realistically though, the damage this generates will be spread across different turns rather than as an OTK.

    Not entirely convinced that this card will enable an OTK, maybe not one where you deal 30 dmg in a turn, but an exodia one? What would Shaman need to make a Mechathun work for example? Hmm.

    Imagine getting Wand Thief off of this, with the Combo pre-activated.

    Oh yeah, that will happen sooner or later. Ouch.

    Not sure about this card ... 

    Right now the only thing i can think of that this card will see some play is in Combination with Kael'thas Sunstrider

    I think we might be surprised. The powerlevel of this card is definitely high, so who knows what kind of deck can get build around this.

    Too bad they didnt confirm what happens when it dies buffed to say 15/15 or if it gets hit by something like Hunter's Mark or Repentance and dies as 9/1. I think in either case it will just spawn an 8/8, but not a confirmed interaction yet i think.

    I think this has been confirmed as well. New iterations don't retain the buffs.

    No, he doesn't keep buffs when he dies. Source

    I suppose you are right. Tho i could see it spawning a 14/14 base body from a 15/15 buffed version, but i guess they didnt want it to work that way. Im sure that will cause some confusion down the line for unsuspected players, but oh well.

    Still probably does not answer what happens when the max Health was changed, tho i would not be surprised if 9/1 spawned an 8/8 lol.

  • I want to know if they gave it some fancy name or just a generic one. Or, you know, it could remain fluffy :)

  • Im very interested to see what Beasts will this expansion bring, it doesnt really look like there is much room for any, except for the kitty, ofc :)

    Great! I did not see it on the OOC homepage did not opened the HS only one.

    Well, it is HS only related, so that's why it only shows on HS Portal, as well as other things ;-)

  • KAC seems pretty good! Into the Depths should probably say "friendly characters" not "friendlies" :)

    I like the Staff of Life, tho i wonder if such a powerful effect could be abused.

    Quote From MrRhapsody

    I wonder how it will work with N'Zoth, the Corruptor, will it keep the reduced stats or will all copies return as 9/9? Problably return as 9/9, but there's only one way to now for sure. Can't wait to try it.

    I assume each iteration is a separate minion in the res pool.

    Say for example, this was killed 8 times in the board.

    So when you drop N'Zoth, it summons a 9/9, 8/8, 7/7, ..., 1/1.

    This effect has been confirmed by Blizz.

    You'd get a 9/9, an 8/8, a 7/7, etc. Kind of like a series of Jade Golems, but in reverse.

  • Cover your bases so you can say you were right (at least once), smart! :D

  • Glad to hear we were able to provide the tools to get you there! Congrats!

  • That would be absolutely horrible. You're E.V.I.L.! :))

  • Well, that is true, you do need to kinda "stay at the screen" since you are alternating action with your opponent. I suppose that is a bit of a downside vs HS in that regard. But at least it kinda sorta prevents ppl from roping, when you are doing something else while playing HS, you tend to generally rope a lot, which is pretty annoying to be on the other side of things.

    It's also seen on the art of the new card Troublemaker and its Ruffian token (bottom left and right, respectively), both by Matt Dixon. I don't think it's anything else than an easter egg he likes to include.

    I love that, it definitely had to have come from Matt and making art for Blizzard this long, they "allow him" (are thankful for) these kind of quirks imo that make the art better. And he just puts these little things here and there. I wonder if other artists do the same, im sure some of them do, like their little secret calling card.
