Oh, hahah, it definitely feels great to be able to play everything on Day 1 🙂 I always buy just one pre-order, because between the packs from gold, packs from pre-order and all the Dust I have accumulated over years it’s still enough to playtest anything I want. Or rather, anything I NEED, because I always want to playtest the best early builds I’m covering :p I rarely have time to play the meme decks I want to, at least during the first few days after expansion’s release, which are very busy.

Thank you everyone for another amazing reveal season!

Doing reviews this time around was really difficult, because the expansion has so many insane cards. I gave out more 7/10+ ratings than I ever did in another expansion, but it feels weird, because I know that lots of them won’t see any play in the end. That’s because the overall power level of this set is so high that a card that is “good” by normal standards can be not good enough in Descent of Dragons. They also pushed so many different archetypes for all the classes that it’s hard to say which one will turn out to be playable in the end (e.g. every class can now attempt to play a Highlander deck or a Dragon deck).

I hope that the meta turns out to be fun and balanced, because if not, they will have A LOT of balancing to do 😀

Added five more decks – Galakrond builds for every class from Tharid! Stay tuned for more theorycrafts!

Yeah, they seem to be keeping them at 24 at the same time. When new ones get it, some of the old ones rotate out (but just like Millificent, they should come back at one point in the future).

It’s honestly not a bad idea, because having too many of them at the same time is not ideal (harder to balance, you rarely see your favorites), and if they keep rotating them every patch, that should keep things fresh.

Yeah, the fact that she was added as a Hero Portrait with the same name as minion messed up our data / deck codes import. I’ve manually changed her stats for now, but deck codes including her still won’t work. Should get fixed on Monday once our devs get back to work.

Added five Rogue theorycrafts from J_Alexander! More will come soon! 🙂

More will come tomorrow!

Yes and no. Right now Mechwarper / SN1P-SN4P combo is a problem, that’s true, but reducing Echo cards to 0 is a mechanic that’s just asking to get abused in the future. This nerf is more future-proof, although it hurts balanced combos too.

You should be ble to open them starting today (December 6th).

You won’t get a refund for the golden version everyone got for free. You can’t craft or disenchant that one. Only the regular version gets a refund – so people who got it after Rise of the Mech event.

Yep, that’s correct.

Top 4 counts as a win.

Yeah, it’s a golden version on a “normal” template :p Image is copied from the official blog post, and they made a mistake.

I’ve just fixed it and added regular version instead.

I see that you’re assuming that the new adventure will be paid – but they actually haven’t said anything about that yet. Given that it comes with lots of new cards, I would imagine that it might actually be free. Or at least cheap enough to be easily accessible by everyone.

Because yeah, releasing a full expansion and then another 35 cards locked behind paywall a month later would be a little bit too much.

You just (PROBABLY – maybe they’re an exception) won’t be able to make them 0 – they will cost 1. But honestly, that’s not a big deal. Some treasures will just get slightly weaker. And what would you want them to do about it?

Yeah, I think that should be possible. If they will be in in-game shop, you will be able to buy them in whatever currency you’re normally paying in there.

I thought that we will be getting one, but at this point I’m not sure. I guess that we’ll see in a few days.

Nope, I would also love to get ladder stats, but I don’t think they’re working on them right now. At least they haven’t shared anything that would indicate that.

They usually announce big plans for the entire year around Hall of Fame / Standard year announcements in March, so if anything, we’ll learn what they’re working on then 🙂

We’ve just got information from Blizzard that it’s a bug – don’t worry, it will be available again soon!

Yep, you’re right, sorry!
