Wait, if the patch goes out soon (including FitB expansion), does that mean the patch includes all the cards from the expansion and could get datamined allowing leaks before the reveal schedule?
What are they thinking?

One thing I recently noticed is that DH is getting the same amount of Core Cards like the other. I think it’s possible that future expansions don’t print ‘extra’ DH cards anymore.
And DH losing a few OP cards like Twin Slice and Altruis combo is good enough for me, since it’s been a pain in the ass all this time. I still remember how easy it is to play Bladed Lady on turn 4 using Twin Slice.

Will it be another paid adventures? (I hope it’s just a theme).
Aside from mini sets, I don’t think I can afford another.
And I can’t think of another dual ending adventures like Galakrond’s Awakening

yes, the same like basic. If your hero has reach lv.60, you’ll get it both golden and non.

Some class get buffed, while some class getting hammered (especially Mage).
Well, Goodbye Freeze Mage. And no more discounted spell with Apprentice. Secrets getting hammered too. They now utilize infinite spell damage with no spells to burn, it all depends on cards from expansions now.
Warrior is decent now, Warlock got some pretty buffs, including Jaraxxus.
Nice to see Charge rework on some neutrals and left it only for DH and Legendary cards.
Lastly, goodbye Sap, which is awesome.

Now, I can’t wait to see what FitB has to offer in return.

But in any case, I’ll just push every hero to lv.60.

With the Classic Set joining the Legacy Set in Wild, all Classic cards and their Golden versions will now be craftable and disenchantable. Basic cards and their Golden versions will be granted to all players that have Wild unlocked for free at rotation, as will the normal versions of Demon Hunter Initiate cards (Golden Demon Hunter Initiate cards will still be craftable and disenchantable).

That’s a quote from Blizzard Core Set announcement.

Ah yeah, instead of judging the vanilla stats from the mana cost, I forgot to add the drawback on the cards itself. Yep. with that drawback, 12/12 stat make sense.
Still, I would argue that 9 mana minions should come with 7/10 or 8/10 stat (ignoring priest card, since priest’s is not a factor in card decision).
Nvm about that. Like I said, it’s a trivial thing.

I’m glad they’re going with this thing.
Good move utilizing this for marketing purpose, instead of you know, ripping off players.
Not complaining, because from F2P side, I agree that gaming industry should really make the game itself cheaper, while at the same time get profit from selling cosmetics or other trinkets.
Kudos to them.

Frenzy with Stealth, oh it will likely to happen.
Rogue seems to be a fitting class for it.
Something like, Frenzy : Give this minion stealth and poisonous.

Or perhaps a simple one like Stealth, Frenzy: Deal 3 damage to random enemy minion. (or the minion this one just attacked)

Lol, nope.

Wait, they’ve said about stop printing card with infinite value generator. So, maybe just hero power that summon 2/2 with rush. (This is the point where I wish I could edit/delete my previous replies, but yeah)

Probably cost 9, give +5 armor like all heroes.
Battlecry, deal 2 damage to all minions, summon random demon for each one that died.
Hero Power, Summon 2/2 infernal beast with rush and deathratlle, add random demon to your hand.
No weapon. (Even if it’s needed, maybe 2/2 weapon, but it’s too much)

“How will the introduction of Core Set affect class identity? Are they adding/removing stuff from class kits?”
Good for Druid, I wonder what they have in mind for Rogue, will Sap, or Shadowstep returns?

“There’s a new Core version of Malygos that draws spells”, Sure, more flexible drawing more spells. Kinda curious about what deck would run this 9 mana to draw spells. Pretty sure not aggro deck. But lucky, all these dragons won’t get it’s benefit if someone get them via RNG on board.

“With the introduction of Core Set, would you ever introduce new class mechanics for classes that never had any?”
If this gonna be a thing, people gonna start asking about unique minions from classes that never had any pretty soon. Imagine Mage getting new mechanic, rogue will soon ask for unique minion unlike elemental or treants.

“In terms of Classic format is to not make changes” Yeah, goodluck when people start to abandon Classic format because it lacks anything new.

Question I would like to ask, but doesn’t really important, why 9 mana dragon have 4/12 body, but 10 mana dragon got +8 attack to 12/12. (10/10 is okay-ish) It’s really not make any sense.

Assuming Basic Fireball got rotated out, and we get the Common version of Fireball, we may gonna have 2 version of Fireball, the free ones, and the old ones.
And all those old Basic cards should be disenchantable. (probably turned to common cards, both gold and non).
So, again, it might be a good idea to level your hero to 60 to get all those golden cards. An extra 50 dusts each is gonna help a lot. (if you’re not playing wild that is).
~400 cards to disenchant gonna be a lot of work.

Hearthstone is turning generous now? Giving 2 random legendaries instead of 1?
Don’t wanna sound too ungrateful, but it’s better if they give wild card so we can choose what legendary we want.
(not wild card as in old expansion, but wild card like Runeterra)

Plus, they still stick with the old $80 mega-bundle which doesn’t include Premium Reward track bonus. Best guess, they still gonna charge $20 again. Unbelievable.

core set is free for all. no need to buy it or craft it. Free and Uncraftable. Changes every year (unless devs decide to change it sooner)

No release date yet?

nevermind, just saw the video and it’s indeead activated on enemy turns

Good premium stats. Have a chance to survive early. I really hope that frenzy can activate even on enemy turns, e.g when they deal damage and this survives.
