Thanks, fixed it. I had it under the early translated name (Steel Dancer with a space in between) so it didn’t display.

Pen Flicker will definitely be annoying to face, that’s true. But annoying doesn’t necessarily mean strong.
And yeah, Vectus has a world of possibilities in Wild. In Standard I feel like we need a few strong Deathrattles on top of Primes to really make it stand out.

Yes, it was confirmed back in the day by devs that every time something is shuffled into the deck, the whole deck is shuffled. Then it didn’t make a big difference, but right now it does.
And we kind of have a similar effect in the game right now – Sightless Watcher in Demon Hunter. If you put a card at the top, then you shuffle something into your deck, the card you picked will no longer be at the top (I mean, it CAN still be, but only if you randomly roll it right there). You can test it yourself π

I agree, Dual Class cards are super exciting and open up a lot of possibilities, and Spellburst seems like a very balanced mechanic. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more of both in the future – but I guess it really depends on whether people will like them or not.
Scholomance Academy Overview Video + 2 New Unrevealed Cards? (Secret Passage, Wandmaker)
We haven’t seen Warlock / Demon Hunter Legendary yet, maybe it will shuffle those cards somehow? Like for every minion that dies when it’s on the board, it shuffles one into your deck? That would be pretty cool π

Oh yeah, it kind of looks like it… Then honestly even more so, I don’t want to “take away” the reveal from someone. If they leaked it themselves, it would be a different story, but it’s not really their fault that Blizzard decided to use this card in this video.
Either way, we’ll know all 135 cards by next Wednesday, so no need to rush things π
Sphere of Sapience
Start of turn effects take place before anything else, including card draw.

Thanks for the report, dual class are currently not showing correctly after decks are built, we’re already working on the fix, though! Will 100% get it done before the end of reveal season.
Scholomance Academy Card Review #2 - Headmaster Kel'Thuzad, Combustion, Infiltrator Lilian, Brittlebone Destroyer, Disciplinarian Gandling and more!
We’ll see how the meta develops, but yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get another quick nerf patch (hopefully not AS quick as last time).
And that’s an universal rule – never craft cards right after the expansion’s release (unless you have so much Dust that you don’t care) – stuff that seems overpowered at first might turn out to be weak after a few days.

Pack fillers are usually revealed during the final reveal stream – they don’t want to send bad cards to sites / streamers etc. because a boring pack filler is not a good promotion of the set π
But yeah, the set looks good so far!

You can always buy pre-order even a few hours before the expansion’s launch, so 6th would be the last day.
But if you want to get it, I would do it a day before just to be safe.
Final Card Reveal Stream with Kripparrian & Alec Dawson - July 29 (Scholomance Release Date - August 6)
I like Kripp, but I would love to see another reveal stream with Kibler. He’s super chill and wants to have as much fun as possible during the reveal, sometimes even throwing the game just to see some new cards or cool interactions. And that’s how it should go, honestly – they aren’t there to win after all.
Scholomance Academy β Announcement Analysis & Early Impressions
I could honestly see Scholomance as a test for dual class cards to stay there and become a recurring “mechanic” like Rush, Discover or Hero cards. Maybe not 40 per expansion, but if they end up successful, I would love to see them in the future too (maybe even with different class combinations).
Top Standard Legend Decks From Ashes of Outland - Week 15 - July 2020
I’m nearly 100% sure that we won’t get another balance update this expansion. The new set releases in just 2 weeks, it wouldn’t make any sense to nerf anything now when the meta hasn’t even settled yet after the last patch.
The one from last week was already super unexpected so late into the meta.

Yeah, sorry about that, fixed!
I added extra cards to DH, in Ashes of Outland DH got 3 extra Commons and 2 extra Rares, so I assumed that the situation will be the same this time (but it might not be, of course).
And we’ll get more Neutrals. Don’t look at the “empty” cards, they are not meant to visually represent every card in the expansion, simply because we never know how the rarity spread will look like. The rarity spread might change from expansion to expansion, especially now that the 10th class was released and they’re probably still settling on a new “format”. Plus, just adding 20 empty Common cards is not that pleasing visually, instead we just add actual cards to the list after final reveal season.
