Having seen the last of the Druid set, I find Guff's Hero card really out of place. He received basically no support for it; where are the big minions or spells to necessitate having 20 mana?
Could find a home in Wild, or maybe I'm just not creative enough to spot why you would bother to run it in Standard.
How's this for a new "Raise Some Hell" Power Chord? Stronger than Mega-Taunt, and more Demon-y.
It should be okay as-is, but you get real mileage if you're behind on the board. And to answer some questions: Encore ETC pulls from the new Power Chords only; the Worgens are random, pulled from various cards over the years that feature Worgens. They range from Town Crier to Big Bad Archmage, although most cost 4 or less.
Quick Feedback:
Show Spoiler
Nirast - Seems okay, but Twinspell + a low number of spells cast means you can guarantee what you need to cost 0. Feel like that could be abused. Can also be used to create an infinite loop to annoy people. Lastly, the art is not great.
AeroJulwin - Not sure why the Pied Piper has to die to lure in the rats low-Cost Beasts. What about a 5/3/3 that summons on Battlecry instead? *shrugs* Seems fine, I guess, but it's not very "spicy", as it were.
anchorm4n - This seems strong from a flavor standpoint: who'd have thought art for the "Moshloc" even existed lmao. Naturally I hate it because it's Murlocs, so…ya know…
Demonxz95 - The old Power Chords suck, so filling your hand with junk doesn't seem very wise.
Wailor - Thunderbass for sure; should be good to go.
What about a Hero Power deck where Wildfire is your primary Fire spell? Would the bonus damage carry over? I can't remember if it works with Frost Lich Jaina or not. Hell I don't even know what else you'd run off the top of my head; just brainstormin'. We need more spells that buff your Hero Power in different ways.
I dusted my Call to Arms after they nerfed it, thinking I would never use such an Aggro-minded card. Never would have guessed it could work for bigger minions lol. I won't recraft them, but it's a cool idea nevertheless.
Currently, the answer is Tamsin. The undead person being the enemy - and a warlock no less - is more than a little cliche, but she's got enough character to make it work. With an amusing amount of sass to her, Tamsin seems to relish her position as the "bad guy." That said I could have gone without the Captain Barbosa "I feel....cold" line when she died in Cariel's story; that was a little hackneyed.
I'm holding onto my packs, but I own every Mercenary so there's that. I just feel it's more value to try and pull a new Merc when the opportunity arises instead of earning coin-only packs ad nauseum; I might end up getting the same result anyway, but I'm not in dire need of those coins right now so I can wait.
First impressions after two hours of playing Ruined King: if you've played Battle Chasers: Nightwar, you've played this lol. There is some additional complexities, sure, and yet they're practically the same; expected when they're from the same company, and probably 100% on purpose, but still.
I thoroughly enjoyed BC:N, though, so that's not an indictment. In this instance I'm good with more of the same with a League of Legends skin.
Very true, but they do have King Krush. Hadronox had to be the only Beast in your deck, essentially, whereas this will allow for more deck flexibility with the Discover. Hopefully we'll see some new big-Beasts to play with.
If only it could be paired with Call to Adventure and Vanndar; all well...my memes will have to stay dreams this time.

Is that foreshadowing for a collectible Ice Trap?

Mage - "And now, for my ultimate attack!"
*Pyroblasts Silver Hand Recruit*
*Pyroblasts another Silver Hand Recruit*
Paladin - "By the holy light!"
*Mage shamefully concedes*
Between this and Supercollider, we could have a new archetype; I dub it: Baseball Warrior!
The Hero Power is even called "Grand Slam" :D
How about a new Elite Tauren Chieftain? I made new Power Chords based on the band's remaining discography.
Congratulations to Jhamel!
Presumably they would both be active, with separate durations. Could be crazy.
They were both playing as themselves, the Mage as Balinda and the Warrior as Galvangar. I don't think they'll be a skin; it was just for the video.
Not just two Ignites but two Snap Freezes as well, in a Big Spell deck? Either they were generated or Balinda is a mad person.
Good luck to the finalists :)

"I am only more deadly!"
"I am only more deadly!"

...I'm sure there is a better choice out there, but this what came to my mind first.

Witching Hour is random, and isn't even associated with a Spell School rip
