Not sure if this is a constructed card, even tho the effect stacks, so im sure someone will create a crazy combo, but an insane arena card and just overall great card for starter/budget mage decks.
Sky Gen'ral Kragg (1): Im honestly not sure, if he will even be in the pool, but the wording suggests that it should work with Sidequests, so maybe? It would give you incentive to actually pick some of the Sidequests, since then this would be a pretty good play, but other than that, horrible.
Arcane Amplifier (5): Amazing card, busted even. Decent stats to stick around and making your hero power deal 3 damage is pretty insane. If you can get it to stay for more than a turn, this can snowball very quickly into an insane card advantage, or even a win. Note the wording, multiple stack!
Eye of the Storm (5): Very costly, but a huge hammer drop. Such a taunt wall will not be easy to get through and even the best of AOEs will have problems clearing this up. This card will easily trade for multiple cards from your opponent or just solidifies your board position. This one is quite scary.
Rising Winds (5): Great, versatile card. Play a 2-drop if you need it, or just cycle it for another card, if you dont. Twice!
Meeting of Minds is pretty OP as already said. This is way better than Madame Lazul because not only do you see entire hand and not only 3 cards, but you also get to pick from the whole selection. You can easilly pick the best card in hand and have exact info about the stage of the game at the moment.
Imho it needs to cost at least 3,more so since it is a basic card.
Other cards seem like an interesting direction for priest. Tho i dont like removal of Auchenai, too iconic and Embrace is in no way a suitable replacement for what it provided, it wasnt only the CoH combo, but a decent 4-drop and the potential to control the board with her, which ironically, is the direction you want to go in 🙂
Also Mass Hysteria in Classic is a bit too much lol.
Grand Lackey Erkh (1): This card is not only draft dependent, but also card pool dependent, if there are no Lackey generators, this does nothing. It can get insane and carry you, but you have to get a pretty lucky draft in a proper setting.
Air Raid (3): pretty decent card overall for the value it provides, nothing too flashy, but you wont be sad to have to pick this.
Winged Guardian (5): Ok, we have a new powerhouse on the horizon, a bog creeper with a beast tag, that cant be targeted by spells or hero powers and spawns another 6/1 elusive taunt. Holy cow. Evasive Drakonid was almost game over when droped in a situation where you were just a bit ahead. This will be a GG on the spot, if your opponent does not have a board.
Aeon Reaver (5): Big removal with a decent body attached to it, this card is very good, even if it does not kill a minion outright, it is going perform as Cloud Prince without the trigger condition most of the time at least.
Im still not 100% convinced we will get more Hero Cards, but if we do, since they said they want to build upon mechanics introduced during the entire year with GA, my guess would be that each Hero Card could bring back something from other sets during the year, not just DoD.
With new Adventure content upon us, here are the new revealed cards so far, that we are getting! Hero Cards will not be draftable in Arena, so the one legendary revealed so far is a non-factor for us in that regard, but the three other cards look very promising. What are your thoughts?
Chaos Gazer (4/5): Good stats for a 3-drop, demon synergy and a pretty great effect, forcing your opponent into an awkward turn or losing his card. It could just do nothing or corrupt a card they were going to play anyway, but you are not giving up anything in terms of tempo to potentially screw with your opponent, so that is a good deal.
Dark Prophecy (3/5): Discover is always powerful effect and getting +3 Health on a 2-drop will make it worth 3 mana investment easy. Tho there is a relatively high chance on a dud, lots of weak stat battlecry minions in the mix, depending on the arena pool.
Shotbot (5/5): Basically Shielded Minibot 2.0, instead of pinging first, you will ping second :)
In grand scheme of things, i would agree with you, but at the same time, the last year they did make some big steps towards that and this looks like they want to keep going in that direction, which is good for players and obviously good for them, they want to grow their playerbase, or at least maintain it, when old players leave, new come in. They cant just do what they have been doing and keep the game sustainable that way.
I was of the same opinion, especially considering it would be more fitting for a smaller set like this, but Frosty made an astute observation, when patch hits, you would see all the cards in the crafting menu anyway, so it wouldnt be much of a surprise, they would get spoiled in advace either way. I mean obviously, this could be dealt with on Blizzard's side, but that would maybe require a patch on the release date and would bring back old launch day issues, maybe it could be solved some other way, dunno. Guess we will see in the future.
They want to tell a story, so they had to make a compromise imho, also it actually helps players with small collections, so it is more new player friendly.

Seems like almost auto-include in any (side)Quest deck except maybe combo decks. Pretty strong card.

Holy shit, Winged Guardian is insane. Bog Creeper that spawns a 6/1 taunt, has a Beast tag AND cant be targeted by spells and hero powers? Wooow!
Might as well thrown in the Quest, for when Reno is at the bottom of your deck :D
Still no official info, but if there will be some, you can be sure to see it on front page ;-)

What i dont like about this change is how awkward and technically inaccurate the wording is now. But nothing is perfect i guess :)
Ouch, that is a pretty big oversight. Thanks for letting us know, this is a very important piece of information for sure.

Archiving this.
Its a Reno card, with how they decided to evolve his character over the year, you can bet this will be some goofy shit :D
