I don’t think it was confirmed/denied yet, but I’m like 99% sure that Erkh is not a Lackey. If he would count as a Lackey, he would also be generated by EVIL Miscreant and any other Lackey generator, and that wouldn’t make much sense.

Oh yeah, if you can hit either Electra or Eye of the Storm with Far Sight and play both on the same turn, it’s really good. 6x 5/6 Taunt is crazy – you put your opponent in a situation where he has to board wipe or he loses. But the chances of that happening are, like you’ve said, really small.

Could you please elaborate?

We would do a longer one like we usually do, but we’ve got the codes yesterday and really want to finish it before Galakrond’s Awakening launches so the winners can enjoy it right away. In other words, we haven’t got much time.

You’re replying to an old comment 🙂

Crowd Roaster actually had ~2.5% play rate at the time I was writing this (which is not that bad), mostly in variants of Highlander Mage and Embiggen Druid, as well as some random Highlander Dragon Paladin builds. Masked Contender has seen play in some full Secret Hunter decks (although they’re rare) as well as certain versions of Highlander build. Haunting Vision I will probably remove – the card is played in some Galakrond Shaman builds, but let’s be honest, those are pretty bad after all of those nerfs (and even then the card is not necessary).

But in general, I would not recommend crafting any of the “Good” cards from Year of the Raven UNLESS you have lots of spare Dust and you really want to play a given deck. That’s mostly because those will rotate out in less than 3 months. The only one I could truly recommend to every Warrior player is – like you’ve mentioned – Town Crier. The card will bump your win rate by even a few %, it’s really amazing (and it’s in the “Best” section for Witchwood, by the way).

Epic Crafting Guide was just updated for the Descent of Dragons Post-Nerfs Meta. Just like Legendary Guide, it was a nightmare to update, because we didn’t have a single meta that was stable for more than a week because of constant nerf patches as well as the upcoming content releases. Still, I decided to push it out, because an update that will get outdated quickly is still better than no update at all.

I’ll try to push out another update after all of the Galakrond’s Awakening cards launch in February.

Yeah, they’ve said that they will be using all the mechanics introduced in Year of the Dragon, so I would suspect a Scheme card making a comeback too!

Yeah, both versions are viable, and it mostly depends on the decks you face. According to HSReplay stats, faster version has higher win rate on average (at least at R10-Legend, those are the ranks I’m usually pulling stats for – it still has a big sample size, but it ignores the lower ranks where people play decks least optimally) and that’s why I’ve decided to feature that one.

Yep, thanks. Didn’t manage to invent a time machine… yet 🙂

Zul’Drak Ritualist is a great tech vs Resurrect Priest, actually. And it’s also better than Mad Summoner against other decks, so yeah, you can totally add that if you keep facing Resurrect Priests.

Any spell, just like Yogg etc. works.

And while it wasn’t explained precisely (like every single interaction), what I’ve gathered from dev Tweets / reddit comments is that the minion just disappears, it’s like it was never there. So their Deathrattles won’t trigger, and the minion won’t “die” (so won’t get added to Resurrect pool for example).

I’m NOT sure if its Battlecry gets revoked, like let’s say that you play Shudderwock – does it trigger its Battlecry? That’s something we don’t know yet.

And the cards are stretched out over a few weeks, which means that depending on their strength, the meta might change slightly every week :p

But I have to agree with you – I like quick balance changes and more content in general, but it’s been too much this time around. Expansion, two balance updates new adventure’s launch packed into ~1.5 months.

While I do not mind it as a player, it makes my job super difficult. I can’t keep anything up to date without it being irrelevant again in a week :/

We don’t have reveal schedule for this expansion, but given that the first part launches January 21, we’ll probably have cards revealed over the next week.

Yes, you do get full Dust for her. And the change is pretty minor, the card is still great, just can’t high-roll (which is fine, it was really unfun to lose just because she rolled herself).

And Warlock is still viable after the nerf 🙂

That’s not really what happened, but okay.

Format will be similar to the oldschool adventures, it won’t be another Dungeon Run clone 🙂

It’s my bad, the deck wasn’t Holy Wrath build, I was just adding it quickly and my mind have assumed Holy Wrath after seeing Shirvallah 😀 I fixed it.

To be fair, if you forget to Dust her and leave her around, it won’t be the worst thing ever, since she’s still perfectly viable 🙂
