Going to strongly disagree on Warlock getting nothing, every Warlock card is very strong in a vacuum and several of them are easily slotted into already at least semi-viable Warlock decks.

Kind of obvious but reminder that you’ll want to open the catch up packs before the other Badlands packs.

I still don’t get these legendary treasures. You have to put them in your deck then excavate 4 times to draw them..?

I haven’t looked at high legend or anything but I’m convinced nature shaman is only bad due to being high skill floor like Miracle rogue or naga mage.

At risk of sounding like a know it all, I’ve been very confident the Titan mechanic itself wouldn’t be as big a deal as people insisted.

Planeswalkers in Magic the Gathering are much harder to remove if they’re put in a deck as a dedicated part of the win plan (as opposed to say, splashing in Liliana of the Veil to force a cheap 2 for 1 trade on the enemy’s part), whereas there’s no real reliable way to protect Titans, so they seemed liable to end up being more “discover” effects than anything.

Locations and Hero cards, being entirely new mechanics that are (for all intents and purposes) permanent things your opponent had to play around, have a much different feel than Titans just being ‘a big minion’. Unfortunate, but not a surprise. I don’t have any clever ideas for how they could have made them feel better aside from turning them into more direct Planeswalker analogues (maybe needing mana to activate their abilities, but not being minions so they’re immune to at least hard removal?).

Still, seems like it’ll be a fun expansion if things don’t end in turn 5 with bomb turns every game.

None of them have bad art, but it’s a bit of a shame they didn’t go for a more unified theme; Sif and Ra-Den stand out, it would’ve been awesome if they did all of them in a more Ulduar stained glass style.

This might actually see some play in outcast with Helvaria

Uh… Have I totally lost my mind or did Stonekeep get Kazakusan backwards? The card he’s showing even says “play 4 dragons” not “all minions in your deck must be dragons”, the latter was used when the deck ran out for control decks…
