We're a little bit late this time (can you really blame us? There's so much great stuff going on), but it's time to bring back an old favourite this reveal season: The community bingo!
After a card is revealed that fits one of these categories, we'll cross that space off. If we get 5 in a line, we get a bingo. How many squares will we cross off by the time we see all the cards? A few squares are already crossed off.
Completed Card
And here are is the card with all of the squares we've completed so far.
| Al'ar | Secret Rogue | Replicat-o-tron | Shadow Council | Kayn Sunfury |
| Bulwark of Azzinoth | ||||
| Confirmed! | Astromancer Solarian | FREE! | ||
| Teron Gorefiend | Serpentshrine Portal | Uhh, a lot of things. | ||
| Netherwalker | Boggspine Knuckles (wording) | Ysiel Windsinger | Overconfident Orc | Burrowing Scorpid |
How many squares do you think we will we cross off by the end?
Square Rulings
Now some of these squares have some rulings to them.
- Year of the Phoenix - This square is crossed off once we get a card depicting a phoenix (thanks Al'ar).
- "This Will Never Be In The Game" - This square is crossed off once we get an effect that has widely been stated to never appear in the game. Technically the fact that we have a new class could cross this off, but I opted not to and only relegate this to card effects.
- Fan Creations Is Here - If something extremely popular in fan-made cards lands in the game in this set, we'll cross this off.
- So Much For This Rotating - Were you really excited about a card rotating only for it to be back in a different form in this set?
- Silverback Family Reunion - If we get yet another card that powercreeps Silverback Patriarch, we'll cross this one off.
- Elemental Synergy Card - A bit of a weird one, but Mage always seems to get a one random Elemental synergy card each set. Note that merely being an Elemental does not count.
- Rebirth - One of the main aspects of a phoenix is resurrection, so it only seems plausible that it might happen here.
- It's All Ogre Now - If a card (preferably an Ogre) uses the 50% mechanic, we can cross this off. Or maybe just some crazy ogre.
- Babbling Babbler - Any 1 mana 1/1 card generator will count (I'm not counting Psychic Conjurer as it isn't really part of this set).
- Mana Cheating - Hey, that's cheating! But we'll cross this off.
- Breaking Weaknesses - Did Shaman get another strong card drawer or card generator? Did Hunter get an insane card drawer? Did Demon Hunter get an amazing card generator despite the fact that it was supposed to be a weakness?
- C-C-C-COMBO!!! - Is this card integral to a strong buildaround or combo?
- Class Card in Disguise - Do you spot a Neutral card that would only be playable in one class?
Have fun!
Comments
I would like it if we could see the cards that filled each square when you crossed it off. I really like the idea of the bingo, but without really being able to follow along with what is happening it is kind of hard to enjoy the game.
*wink, wink*
Hey! Thanks!
Kayn Sunfury for This will never be in the game?
Came exactly to see if someone had already pointed out this.
Already talking to the staff about it now, lol.
New Hunter Legendary that summons beasts from your hand can work for the combo square.
Why permastealthed Akama Prime is not in "This will never be in the game"? Everybody thought that out of dungeons permastealthed minions is too much for competitive HS. And also many people already told about Bulwark of Azzinoth in terms of "Fan creations has arrived"
Why isnt fan creations have arrived not crossed off? They finally added the shield that absorbs damage and loses durability people have been making that as a custom card since the game came out
I'd say Secret Rogue was pretty unexpected.
Archspore Msshi'fn is Silverback Family Reunion.
Class cards aren't really power creep over neutrals. Cards for the classes get a higher budget of stats than neutral cards so class cards will almost always be better than neutral counterparts.
Astromancer Solarian could fit into Small in size, HUGE in lore.
Mage tends to get that 2-mana minion from that category
You forgot New Giant category
what about the Furious Felfin on the ultra cutie?
I nominate Pit Commander to cross the Old Set Callback (Recruit) and Mana Cheating squares.
Typically the way it works is each card can only cross off one space FWIW.
secrect rogue doesnt count as unexpexted archetype?
You beat me by 5 minutes on that comment xD
But yeah, totally agree
Am I wrong or does Al'ar not fit the conditions for Rebirth as well?
