Guardian Animals pulls Beasts from your deck, not hand. Drawing your Beasts is something you don’t want to do when you play Guardian Animals deck 🙂 But GA is most likely too expensive for Hunter anyway.

Leoroxx is a nice combo, though.

Your old Classic cards stay exactly the way they are, they just become a part of Legacy Set in the Wild. Core Set cards are extra, SEPARATE cards. So you don’t need to worry about disenchanting anything for now.

I think that after new cards (like the new Legendary Dragons) are out of the Core Set, they rotate out to Wild AFAIK. But I’m not 100% sure.

The ones you get from Core Set will be separate from the ones you own and “temporary”.

You will still have your own Grommash, and then will get a new, free version playable in Core Set that might disappear next year (if they decide to rotate it out and add something else instead).

If you’re interested in Wild and the upcoming Classic format, you should probably keep your old cards, since they might be useful after rotating out of Core Set.

I put 4 slots in all Neutral rarities, because I simply don’t know the rarity distribution – it’s just a placeholder 🙂

Last year we had less Neutral cards, because Demon Hunter was getting extras since it was a new class and needed to catch up. This year Demon Hunter will get the regular 10 cards, so we will probably have some extra Neutrals – but I don’t know how many of each rarity.

The first one you pick is your main Hero – you get its Hero Power, you Discover cards from that class etc. The one you pick at the start of the match is just for the 11 random cards.

It needs to survive. Probably would be too strong if it didn’t 🙂

Core Set cards will be separate from your current Classic cards. Nothing happens with the cards you currently own 🙂

Yes, you can. But they will also be playable in Classic format. So I would disenchant them only if you’re sure that you won’t play Wild, Classic or maybe some other formats that might come out in the future and use them.

Maybe they will increase max health to 20 and give the usual +5 Armor from Hero cards? Hard to say, but they will definitely need to buff it a bit for it to see play.

Yeah, Frenzy is very close to Enrage in how it works. Upgrading spells are quite different from Scheme cards if that’s what you mean. Spell Schools sound really fun given that they apply retroactively to all spells, which means that we might get more synergies in future expansions. And about Shaman being only Nature – mostly yes, but not only. There are some Fire and Frost spells too. E.g. Lava Burst, Molten Blast for Fire and Frost Shock or Invocation of Frost for Frost.

Pauper format is not a bad idea, but the biggest issue is that the game rarities were never balanced with it in mind, it would make some strategies really broken compared to others. Some decks like Face Hunter or Aggro Demon Hunter that need no expensive cards would just absolutely dominate. At the same time, many classes would be completely unplayable, since they rely on certain Epics/Legendaries.

We’ll see, it depends on whether Blizzard gives us some codes.

But we’re running a Celebration Collection Epic Pack giveaway right now on Twitter: https://twitter.com/HSTopDecks/status/1363174385893466115

What do you mean by “block function”?

No info about Tavern Pass, but it will probably cost $19.99 like it does right now.

With how much you have, you would probably earn like 2.5k more Gold by the end of expansion if you had it from the start.

The Tirion we get from Core Set will be separate and temporary – so if it even rotates out of Core Set, it would disappear from your collection.

There’s definitely no rush in disenchanting cards, since Core Set ones won’t replace the ones you already have. But if you don’t care about having those for Wild or Classic format, disenchanting them might not be a bad idea.

Thanks for the info.

Good catches about Grommash or let’s say Sprint / Tidal Surge. I’ll surely add those.

But I’m not sure if them using Sen’jin or Elven Archer etc. in presentation necessarily means that those cards will be back in the Core Set.

Yep, I’m just updating it now.

I finished all the work at like 5 am last night (or rather this morning) and I was too tired to handle all the details like that.

However, the “updated” cards (like buffed Assassinate) will still link to the current version. I’ll update those once Core Set is out 🙂

You’re right – for some reason Blizzard didn’t put Assassinate in the press kit so I missed it too.

Can you direct me to that in-game footage so I can check it?

I don’t think that Basic cards will be disenchantable. If I remember correctly, after they rotate out and become a part of Legacy set, they will be given for free to new players after unlocking Wild.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that free decks aren’t going anywhere.
