I agree, I would love an option to randomize card back, but only from the ones I select. I would be able to pick 10-15 of my favorites and have them on all the time.

But maybe the technology will be there in the future 🙂

Really subjective, I like it the least. It’s still cool, but for me it’s Legion Schemes (Android) -> Machine Dreams (PC) -> Pristine Scenes (iOS).

I think he meant that Even Shaman is rotating, not that Al’Akir is rotating.

I agree with your point, but Hagatha is not going to save you in that case. You never put an 8 mana value mechanic in an Aggro deck that curves out at 4-5 mana.

It would win you some games, but lose you even more games where you draw it early instead of an actual card you can play.

I mean, feel free to test it out, but Aggro decks and late game, slow, value cards just don’t go hand in hand. Like, Face Hunter wouldn’t play Deathstalker Rexxar even though it’s much better than Hagatha (costs 2 mana less + damages only opponent’s board on Battlecry). Even some Midrange builds cut it.

If anything, you would probably try adding 2nd Cauldron or Cult Master first, since those are much cheaper ways to refill.

You mean the 8 mana one? I really think that it’s too slow for a Murloc deck. The deck curves out until 4 mana, with 5 mana being your finishers. You want to close out games around T5-T6, if you completely lose the board control and run out of steam against a slower deck, then Hagatha won’t save you. And if you do the same against an Aggro, you probably won’t even survive long enough to play her.

It’s our fault – Barista Lynchen and Exotic Mountseller weren’t on the list. Now that I’ve looked through it once more I’ve noticed it and added them.

I think that Zayle doesn’t count as an expansion card, but rather as an extra “adventure” card.

You know what, some of that meme stuff might actually turn out to be meta… Just saying 😀

That’s exactly why I’ve said that you don’t have to worry about them breaking the meta. I’ve heard a lot of voices that running an event like that is bad, because pros will already figure out what’s great and expansion’s launch will be boring.

Which is not true – even if the 6 pros test decks over 8 hours, A LOT more playtesting will be done on the ladder in a minute after the expansion’s launch.

I’m afraid not. Only the pre-purchase packs will be available during pre-release.

I’m pretty sure that the last day before expansion’s launch is the last moment you can buy it (so in this case April 8th).

“Pre-nerf backstab” oh man, given that the card was nerfed right after the Closed Beta account wipe, most of people don’t even remember the old version.

Even I wasn’t playing back then – I started like 2 weeks after that patch (but I was watching some streams already so I vaguely remember it).

You could say that at 0 mana they would be… nuts.

*ba dum tsss*

I think that everyone assumes that they cost 1 mana. It would be really weird if they costed more.

I was only helping during the previous reveal season (Evident was doing most of the work), so I had more time to do reviews. I did it for the first batch, but the reveal season is really fast and I wouldn’t be able to keep up with reviews.

That said, I’ll do some reviews for the most interesting cards in the period after reveal season and before the expansion’s launch (we’ll also have lots of theorycraftings, so stay tuned). I would love to do more but I just don’t have time 🙁

The artwork looks so bad because we had to scale it up from a low quality small image. But we’ve probably blurred it out too much anyway lol. We’ll add a higher quality one once Blizzard releases it.

The problem is that we don’t have images for most of the tokens. When Blizzard releases a HQ card, they do it only for the card and not the tokens it generates. We’ll try to get our hands on those too (and if not, we’ll add all of them after all the cards are revealed – they do a big dump with ALL of the cards including tokens then).

Not really, for Kel’Thuzad to work you needed minions that died THIS TURN, not THIS GAME. This is guaranteed to summon something (if something died this game, that is), for Kel’Thuzad you needed a board first AND a way to kill it off.

I’d say that this is better than Kel’Thuzad, which was a win-more card – this is also great on an empty board or sometimes even when behind (especially if you had Taunt minions that died).

No worries, it happens 🙂
