The fights are in the correct order gameplay-wise, they just don't appear that way: it's supposed to go Mal'Ganis, Uther, Sylvanas, Illidan. Somebody done messed up :)
I don't know if Shatterskin Gargoyle is Magma Rager bad. It's not great, obviously, but near the bottom of the pile? Maybe not. I think it'll be better than the cards that surround it, that's for sure.
If you'd like you can consider my goofy inclusion to be a commentary on the state of the class. We needed a third deck for the article, I could not find one that wasn't yet-another Fire Enrage Warrior, so I made something flavorful. If you are able to share a deck that contains a respectable amount of new cards and you deem to be good, we would be very much appreciative :)
The non-Legendary Signature cards are coming from the Lich King event that'll start when the expansion drops; you shouldn't get them from packs (at least, hopefully not >_<). Seen here:
Can't speak for future expansions, but I'm guessing they'll maintain this thought process. You want a Signature pull to be an exciting Legendary.
Well, we got a boatload of lady-Death Knights like I wanted. Just...you know...not for the class itself lol.
Definitely using Yrel, Aranna, and Annhylde, though. Kicked myself when I passed on Annhylde originally, but I wasn't super happy with her. Now I get her anyway :D
Cap does not give four extra Power when the location is full; you might be including him in your calculation. Comparing the two, this is what they provide:
By themselves: 3/1 Wolfsbane vs 3/3 Cap (Cap is better by 2)
Them and a buddy: 3/3 Wolfsbane vs 3/3 +1 Cap (Cap is better by 1)
Them and two others: 3/5 Wolfsbane vs 3/3 +2 Cap (equal)
Full location: 3/7 Wolfsbane vs 3/3 +3 Cap (Wolf is better by 1)
So the fuller the location, the more Wolfsbane starts to overtake Captain America. This is ignoring outside factors like Kamar Taj or an Odin reactivating Wolfsbane's On Reveal effect, a situation where she would greatly outshine Cap. Conversely, you could have Onslaught or his Citadel boosting Cap above what Wolfsbane can provide. Snap does a fairly good job of providing each card an opportunity to shine compared to the others; neither is inherently better than the other. It just depends on the situation and your deck.
Cool idea for an archetype, but I don't know about it. Halduron in particular looks extremely dull; are you ever excited to play him? Could've been +2 to bring more punch.
Now, you can argue "what about Al'Akir the Windlord or Zilliax? Taunt doesn't come first on them!" and I would say "Those are less about the order, and more about fitting all the keywords neatly in the text box."
TL;DR: If anything, the aforementioned Rush+Taunt cards are the ones with their keywords in "the wrong order".
I got two from a Standard pack, but that was "it". Still felt amazing, so I ain't complainin' :D

Did my "free" ticket for both of them; they went about as well as I normally do:
Can't wait for one to hand me, like, 35 gold, while the other doesn't match up, leaving me with that ugly 5 on the end :/

Very clever use of the dual-tribe update - hopefully there are a couple of these fun synergy-combination decks still to find out there :D
There appears to be an issue for many people opening their packs and running the Fireside Gathering. They are working on a fix; hoping for late this evening Pacific time https://twitter.com/hsdecktech/status/1598781000162873344

Nope: just a fancy alternative frame, artwork, and filter. Still, some of them are pretty cool lookin' :)
The final TB before the DK drops! Is this to imply that we're mass-hallucinating the release of the Death Knight class? >_>
"Is this your king?" It'll be quite difficult for Killmonger to become king in Snap, especially compared to Black Panther :P
Weird: my father has an Android phone and he updated earlier. Just texted him and he's playing Enhance-o right now lol
You saw nothing! :)

Scarlet for Constructed when? I don't know anything about canon Death Knights, but I want a female DK skin as fast as we got a lady DH!
"Hunter is going to be Team Silvermoon this expansion."
"But I wanna bring back Build-a-Beast!"
"Ugh, fine, you get one card."
"Can I do anything special with it, maybe add some mana-che..."
"-NO! You may reference it and that's that!"
Halduron seems really unexciting, even if he might be fine in practice: do you feel good playing a Spider Tank that doesn't do anything immediately?

Ruststeed Raider does the same thing; you know the difference between them and the three mentioned above? Taunt and Rush are on one line. It's fairly consistent with how Blizzard operates, see: High Priestess Jeklik, Winged Guardian, Obsidian Statue, Taelan Fordring, Khartut Defender. The Taunt comes first.
