I'm personally just going to keep him, but I have also played a lot more Wild in the past year than Standard. He's not particularly good in Wild, but we're also supposed to get another new game mode this expansion cycle. You never know, he may be a good viable option in that mode. I know I can always recraft later but... meh! I'm lazy!
Okay, I haven't played much Rogue in a while. But I picked the Valeera portrait so I wanted to play some today. Just picked a Stealth Rogue list and went a quick 7-0!
Guys... I think that the Rogue Nightslayer armor set that Valeera has in her new portrait might be OP! :)
In WarCraft 3 his model is also holding a book. I'm not sure lore wise what type of tome he is holding onto, but I think it must give him more power/a stronger connection to the Light. Or something.
That’s where I am too. Breezed through the first several fights, failed a couple times at that fight, then my son woke from his nap and I had to put it on pause.
Figure I want to try and control the board to utilize my hero power. Was trying to not trade my minions if I didn’t have to, which keeps minions on board for me. Might be where my mistake is as it allows more board development on the other side, then the damage spirals out if control. Maybe I need to get board and THEN smash the button each turn instead of trying to smash it right away
I was between Valeera and Illidan because both look nice to me and I have favorites in the other classes that I like to use.
Ultimately I chose Valeera because when I hit 1000 wins with Illidan (still way off) I know I’m only ever going to use the Demonic Illidan portrait anyway.
Anyone else sitting on packs waiting for this? I already unpacked or crafted most of what I want from Darkmoon Faire, so my 12 packs or so from special quests (plus the warrior pack from Garrosh's story) are going to net me most of the mini-set, I hope.
I have 26 Darkmoon packs waiting to go. I'm also sitting on my lvl 25 Legendary reward as I'm pretty sure it only awards Darkmoon legendaries, and I have them all. So if I claim it now I'll just get a regular copy of Yogg (was my golden from pre-order).
As a side note, I also have 18 Classic packs as I'm letting them build up until the set rework. It might not happen for another year or so, but I think I'm only missing one or two copies of some epics in the set. If I need them, I can craft them. And I doubt I'll need another copy of [Hearthstone Card (Barrens Stablehand) Not Found]... (actually it's Icicle and Bane of Doom that I still only have 1 copy of). So opening them now would be a waste.
But I think that's actually why I'm most anxious for the mini set release. Having these unopened packs and the unclaimed reward puts the red number and red ! up on my UI, and it bugs me! I'm a bit OCD at times... but in a good way, I think. Sitting on these Classic packs actually took a lot of effort at first, but I've suppressed my desire to open them immediately.
Makes sense. Perhaps they will start giving us a little preview of the new cards soon. Or since it's only 35 maybe they will wait until a few days before the release of the cards to do a stream.
I've scrolled through their twitter account and they advertice the game as "a TCG and board game combination" - that sounds reeeeeally cool!
Duelyst was a similar style of cards plus board game style pieces and movements. I liked it but just couldn't find the time, and now it's dead. Maybe this will be better and last a while
Was just thinking of what a card for this Mime might look like. (3) 2/3, Battlecry: Equip an Invisible Cane.
Invisible Cane: 3/2 weapon “Can attack any minion, even if Stealthed or if another minion has Taunt.” So similar to Kayn but also ignores stealth on minions, and can’t go face through Taunt. Maybe a Rogue card?
Just first thing I though of, but could be good at getting rid of something pesky that’s hidden.
Another idea for the Cane, “While equipped, you can see your opponent’s secrets.” Make Mime neutral? I’m just spitballing here.
Didn't stop the idiot I had first attempt from killing off my taunt minions and using spells to remove my non-taunt minions... Seriously, how is "co-op" so hard for some people to understand???
The classic set will be changing in 2022. At a minimum, once some DH cards rotate, the classic set will get some cards (I assume from the existing sets). However, I am not sure about 2021.
I kept thinking for some reason they said that the Demon Hunter classic cards would be set by the new HS year in 2021, but I looked back at the article, and you are right! The wording threw me off, but it does say that the class gets more class cards during 2020, sounds like it should go down to only 10 like other classes in 2021, but then some time before the new HS year in 2022 they will decide the DH classic cards.
While it does make it more likely that they wait until 2022 to overhaul the entire Classic set, it doesn't guarantee that they will wait. But if it doesn't happen in April 2021, then April 2022 is very likely!
Regardless of when they do it, I stopped opening Classic packs as soon as they hinted at this being a possibility, hoping to get the full dust value for any and all cards that rotate, and then have a decent amount of packs to get the new cards naturally and saving that dust for other things. Should work out for me as long as they don't introduce a new pack type with the big changes, like "Core packs" or something. If that happened I'd be a little upset.
EDIT: If any of you have all the Classic cards, or like me and have all the Classic cards you need/want, you should also stop opening them until a potential set overhaul.

Sooooo... Rotating Core Set?!?!
But my achieves!!! My exclusivity!!!
Just kidding, I don’t care!

Guessing no one asked about the mysterious new game mode that is on the road map for this expansion cycle.

No! He’s going with that Lawbringer Uther who is so strong he’s reading a book while kicking ass
I was between Valeera and Illidan because both look nice to me and I have favorites in the other classes that I like to use.
Ultimately I chose Valeera because when I hit 1000 wins with Illidan (still way off) I know I’m only ever going to use the Demonic Illidan portrait anyway.
Are you saying that because he’s holding a book? Just like in his original and Lightforged portraits?
In the Lawbringer portrait for reaching lvl 50 on the rewards track his book is even open!
Uther’s WC3 model also has a tome in his left hand at all times. Uther without a book would actually be weird...
He’s always had a book in his hand when using Uther in HS. Unless you are using Horseman Uther or change into DK Uther.
Take a closer look at his other portraits.

Anyone rumors yet about when the fabled Darkmoon mini set is likely to come out? Or at least when it’ll be revealed?
Hoping sometime soon we’ll get a reveal with a release in like 2 weeks, but who knows!

Second try I had someone who actually knew what they were doing. Done! Who knew Supreme Abyssal could actually be a good card!
Didn't stop the idiot I had first attempt from killing off my taunt minions and using spells to remove my non-taunt minions... Seriously, how is "co-op" so hard for some people to understand???
And on my first attempt, my idiot co-op partner kills all my minions, not the party crashers...
