    • i know its even worse,imagine your a buff paladin

      • Or a quest mage

  • Vanndar and Drek'thar remind me of Baku and Genn. The way it makes me think whenever a minion costs more or less than 4, I immediately think of either Vanndar or Drek'thar, just like how I would immediately think of Baku on odd cost cards or Genn on even cost cards.

  • I like the fact, Theyre trying to bring back control decks. It was always more fun and took more strategy.

  • Does anyone know about the reward track of this expansion?

    • We may not see it posted until a week or so before the new expansion is due. Usually coming with the pre-launch patch.

  • I like the theme of this expansion. The choice of legendary is nice and the faction war associated with it looks fun, we'll see how it plays out. Hero cards are very hit or miss. With speed and game ending potential of some of these questlines we'll see if they can stand up with out becoming the problem.

    Honorable Kill: Neat idea. I actually loved Overkill as an idea. It wasn't executed well on most cards but still has potential if they bring it back. I actually was hoping they would here. Still lining up exact shots sounds fun too. 

    Objectives (the spells that persist for 3turns): Neat idea. I like the idea of Aura spells. Might be too slow but we'll see. 

    Excited for reveal season. I was already enjoying Deadmines additions so I was okay to wait a bit but glad it didn't get pushed back by mercenaries delays like the miniset seemed to have been. 

    May the best faction win. For the Horde!

  • Am I seeing this wrong, or all the card reveal is being shown by playhearthstone themselves? Did something happen? Afraid for more leaks?

    • Afaik the guys who made up the band are no longer together. They broke up years ago and some have already left the company.
