D’oh! Forgot about that minor detail :p

A lot of the synergies in Even Shaman depend on multiple totems: Dranei Totemcarver, Thing from Below, plus the Sea Giants, of course. Plus doubling up a spell-power totem would work great with Maelstrom or your burn spells. I agree, board space can be an issue but it could also be really useful for rebuilding a wide board after an AOE and the weapon itself helps with the board control. Worth a try, I think.

This requires 10 damage to get through or two destroy cards. This is harder to get through than Annoy-O-Module or Psych-O-Tron or most of the other divine shield taunts. I think it’s pretty good, particularlly for defensive strategies.

This can do more than 2 damage with multiple secrets. I play secret Mage in wild and this going to be great with Kirin Tor Mage and that 1 mana play a free secret dude.

Even Shaman is my favourite wild deck this just ramped it’s power 🙂

I failed my first attempt with Togwaggle as I ddn’t read the card text properly on Garr and killed his whole board with the Candle killing myself in the process!

Second attempt was with Doctor Boom which went much more smoothly. Got the 3 bombs in play treasure which was very useful and concentrated on a bomb deck. Finished under 40.

Then I went back to Togwaggle and finished 19 seconds slower than with Boom but still under 40. Edwin is great with the coins and several other treasures that draw zero cost cards!

Failed twice with Lazul so far but I plan to beet them with all four at some point.

Also with this one?

“Shrink Ray and Equality will now behave in a way that’s consistent with Sunkeeper Tarim in regards to stat-buffing aura effects, such as Stormwind Champion.”

“Fixed an issue where Summoning Portal and Reckless Experimenter’s effects were being applied at different timings than other similar cost modification effects.”

Any clarification what this means? What was happening before and what is happening now?

Typo in the intro says this is the first expansion of 2019 (Year of the Raven)

It should, of course, say Year of the Dragon!

I’ve been playing Deathrattle Rogue all last season and its one of my better performing decks. I made my own version with Star Aligner which can be great fun when it triggers. Nobody is expecting it!

I substituted in an Undertakah as the only card change but it’s pretty slow unless you can combine with the weapon and you’ve usually used the weapon by then so I’m not entirely convinced by it yet.

I haven’t played with Zul’Jin myself yet but he is game-winning in every deck I’ve come up against. Those hunter decks are insane!

I tried a Pirate Rogue but it’s definitely the worst performing.

Had some success with Quest Hunter, Quest Paladin and Odd Mage so far. Also with Even Shaman where all I did was substitute a Mossy Horror for a Rain of Toads.

I guess it’s a good time for climbing as everyone is playing around with sub-optimal, untuned decks 😀

“…we will retire the Conquest format in 2019. Fundamentally, we want Hearthstone esports to better reflect the in-game experience, as well as be easier to grasp for new viewers”

So what do we think?

To be closer to in-game my guess is:

1. No bans
2. No pre-knowledge of each others’ deck lists
3. Can choose to play any deck brought regardless of whether it won or lost previously

Embrace the Shadow with a free 3/2. Seems reasonable 😀

Here’s a question. What if there’s an Ironhide Direhorn which scores an overkill and summons a 5/5 does the 5/5 become a valid target for attacks? Does the 5/5 also have to attack?

Synergises with Sand Drudge, I guess.

My guess is that it takes all of the damage simultaneously and then dies with the two adjacent minions unscathed.

Savage Striker together with this card suggests that the Druid’s attack power may be a factor in the synergies this expansion. It would certainly represent a new direction!

Don’t understimate the 4 durability, it means every weapon buff is multiplied by 4. That plus Sul’Thraze and you can have a weapon in hand constantly for the synergies and face damage. Maybe this is for aggro with Raging Worgen, Tauren Warrior, Amani Berserker, Redband Wasp and Grommash synergies. Maybe even Pirate Warrior if there are some more good pirates.

Maybe, but it’s the next spell “you cast” and, technically, Electra casts the second copy of Haunting Vision so it could be argued that this doesn’t count as your next spell. That means your next spell will have had two 3 mana discounts before you cast it.

Could be interpreted either way I think.

So if you play Electra and this you get to discover two spells and then cast one of them (or some other spell in your hand) with a 6 mana discount?
