Lot of burst for very cheap, will see play. Not to mention it's odd.

Flexible, mana-cheat is always good.

Quick formula of resulting stats for head calculations:

For target minion: halve Attack and Health, rounded down.

For Serena: halve target minion's Attack and Health, rounded up, then add +1/+1.

So Competitive Spirit has been Secretly a sigil this whole time?

Ok stats, but random and delayed effect... This is no Wandmaker. Won't see play in meta decks.

Craft decks, not cards with shards and wildcards. Here's a good list of strong decks: https://lor.mobalytics.gg/meta-tier-list Updated with every patch.

I recommend Endure Aggro, Freljord Overwhelm, Pirate Aggro and Discard Aggro, they are very easy to win with and also very strong. Compared to Hearthstone, Control or Combo decks in this game are much harder to pilot because of alternating action, reading the opponent's hand, more punishing counterplay, etc. so I don't recommend them for your first month of playing the game.

The Shurima expansion releases tomorrow. Most decks won't be much affected by this though, there are no new Bilgewater burn cards for example. You might not play the newest archetypes, but in my opinion go now and craft a good deck.

Question: does her level-up advance with Targon's Peak discount? 

I find the art quality between old and new Vol'jin night and day. The old art has amazing contrast. On the new one, he seems like a generic troll, shooting generic purple magic.

Very nice and detailed article, waiting for part 2!

Old one is from the article, new one is from Mobalytics but I had to use Snipping Tool because they use .webp format, which Imgur doesn't accept. 

Bad changes imo. If they're making further improvements, why release this half-baked and controversial update now?

With units, nothing actually changed.

While the new icon's design may be subjective, text still covers the art just as much, but there's now a large empty space at the bottom.

While some spells such as do not have overlapping text and icon now, the speed is still redundantly displayed twice. For differentiating those, we already have the icon, color and border. And (conveniently) it takes away as much space as the region icon.

My exact thoughts. It looks tacked-on, makes the border shape clunky (especially on spells) and causes the cards to lose their previous sleekness.

Really hoping they revert the change or create a better design.

The meta will definitely change compared to vanilla, but my guess is that it'll be aggro galore. Leper, Abusive Sergeant, Leeroy, much more charge... Call me a pessimist, but if Duels lost so much of a playerbase in one expansion because of bad balance, Classic will be like that but also unfun.

You do know that this list is also maintained by Swim...

Finally! They gave us a skin for Rogue that isn't Valeera! They listened!

Oh wait...

Both cards clearly state that the attack stays for 'this turn', so it is definitely unintended behavior and a bug.

That's fair, thank you.

Are you sure these bundles are going to be available for us? Aren't these just in the international client for whatever reason like that Arcane Stones to Runestones pop-up window? Maybe they just didn't bother removing? Pls don't downvote for asking, just curious.

Arbor Up seems CRAZY good. On baseline, you're getting 2 4/3-s, 2 times 3 mana stats. And it's a permanent Savage Roar plus one health to all of your other minions.

Total stats gained per minion already on board:
0: +8/+6
1: +10/+7
2: +12/+8
3: +14/+9
4: +16/+10

Gift of the Wild is absolute complete garbage compared to this.

These treasures and hero powers look really spicy, but holy hell, that paywall is HUGE.

To have the dual-class signature treasure, you'll need at least 1 of every non-legendary Darkmoon Faire card AND 9 legendaries on top of that. That's like a double preorder requirement.
