Just another vote against the spoiler streams. Ugh, no thanks Blizz.
Yeah, I also hate new things being spoiled before players can actually try them out. But that's why I won't watch the stream like I didn't do last time, in order to enjoy the first few hours of playing my theorycrafts.
Has been stated when is the final card reveal? Thank you.
Certainly, the final reveal stream starts in about 6 hours from now
I am with u let us make decks on our own.
But net decking is part of hearthdtone now nothing u can do about it no more. But Maybe pressure blizzard like that ugly tournament format that gone away quick.
Cheers
I agree with most people, having decks somewhat figured out on day one sucks.
This is more of a netdecking problem than anything else, I think, and netdecking has become such a big part of HS so I don't know how they could change it.
Just adding in what everyone else is saying: these inn-vitationals kill hype. But! I AM hyped on Blizzard recognizing and giving spotlight to the myriad content creators that aren't Kripp, Trump, Thijs, etc.
So Blizz, figure out some other promotional content, but keep introducing new creators pls!
Why are people so angry about this? I'm looking forward to these streams.

I understand they have to market the expansion. I just wish there was a way for them to do it without killing the excitement of discovering what decks are good or bad.
They should do a tournament with pro-players using only the pre-built decks instead.
Jonathan Vigil! man... what a guy... Singing in a successful hardcore band and now streaming new expansion stuff for Blizzard <3
I definitely agree with the consensus that these types of streams kill the hype - additionally, I wouldn't/don't watch any of these streamers anyway. Now, if it was Kripp or Thjis...... well, that's a different story!
Don't want to sound jealous here, but those streams kill the best vibes hs has to offer. There is nothing more disturbing than playing against the same (let's say 3?!?) decks on the first days of a new expansion. People these days netdeck like crazy, and streams like that increase the amount of netdeck like a billion. I really hope the people will be patient enough and don't watch that stream.
On a sidenode, those guys may be good players/deckbuilders, but some of them are so incredible pesky to watch with their irritating habits and tics. (just my 2cents)
Well, i guess I'm glad Wild is not touched by these early spoilers.
I feel bad for Standard players.
Gotta love the fact that you've paid your money, pre-ordered the expansion but as you don't stream other people get to experience what you've paid for before you...
This kills the hype, it does nothing to raise it.
No one likes thesd.. It's not fair for us. That these people experience it before us.. Hype
- 50%
i hate this kind of stream it kills all the hype for me
but i like the fact that they brought purple
Ooh yeah I love watching other people enjoing the new stuff befor everyone can get it.
This theorycraft streams are awful. I don’t know if anybody likes this idea. No time to play with new things... there is a strict meta since day one and everyone is playing the new cancer-aggro decks already.
I like the fresh feeling but I also like knowing what I shouldn't waste any dust on to experiment with.
Ugh this again? I really don’t see the point in doing this, just let everyone play and make decks when the expansion releases. And if I remember right, they did the same thing with the adventure
