This sounds fun, I've never considered a deck like that. I play Priest often, so I'll track down some deck lists based on this and see if I can't make it at least semi-feasible.

Yes. Same mechanic as Siphon Soul.

That's pretty sweet though. Wish Constructed was more 'supportive' of creative decks like that. Hopefully Goblins vs Gnomes shakes it up for a long time!
Wonder if it was the same as that other deck, sounds like fun to play.
Yeah, if it has seven or more attack, it's dead. What's cool is if they have a five attack minion, and you set it to seven with a Angry Sargent, you can still use Big Game Hunter on it. While playing a hunter, I left a Timeberwolf on the board because I knew they were going to play their Highmane soon, which they did, and was quickly removed.
Can someone explain to me in detail how to go about the infinite quest reset bug? I live in NA, PST time zone. I read up on it but am never able to do it. Would like to start saving gold rather than using it on terrible arena runs. Figured I'll just play the game once every three days, selecting 60 - 100G quests only in the process.
Really hope Hunter gets a solid 4 or 5 drop, and maybe another trap.
Really hopeful for the control archetype upon this expansion.

It's patched out.
Hunters don't need any more tools at their disposal without breaking the game.

New vote up. Hunter minion vs Warrior spell. Last vote before release!
Literally farming hunters with deathrattle priest at rank 2 right now. Pretty hilarious.
Does that mean the exp is out Dec 4?

So a cheaper Assassinate with upside, kinda? Pretty cool I suppose.
Edit: Missed random, boooo.

I can't say yes 100%, but the set up for next week seems highly likely. You don't build up hype like this and then delay for a week or two.
Seems just as unplayable in constructed as Assassinate.

When I got to rank 3 with one of Mobius' Rogue decks, it had both an Assassinate and Sap. I'd say there could be room if you can capitalize on the tempo advantage. (Did I say that right?)
This at best feels like a Blingtron combo play. I do agree that four Mana is really high since that makes it hard to Combo.
Edit: If you can make it where your opponent is only playing one minion a turn, it's very strong. Should rephrase, it's good against control decks like Warrior who just drop Legendary after Legendary in the end game.
Assassinate isn't a bad card, it just doesnt fit into either backspace or miracle rogue. If midrange rogue was more of a thing, I think it would see more play.

I kinda like it but lets face it, in some matches it is just gonna be a 4 mana deadly shot. Which isn't terrible I suppose. I'll have to think about this card some more.
Thats great value if it does kill a weapon though. And potentially deadly against control warrior or control paladin. I wonder if this card would singlehandedly kill tirion and ashbringer?

When is Hunter going to end?
When Undertaker and Mad Scientist are nerfed.
The only way I can see it being played is if you're expecting to face up against control decks, and even then only those that run weapons. If Tempo Mech Rogue becomes a thing then yeah I could see having 1 of that card in the deck, but otherwise the only place it would get played are in tourneys as a tech card.

That would be interesting.
edit:
It would be pretty damn cool if it was "combo: steal your opponent's weapon" heheh

We'll have to see how the animation/effect plays out, someone could tweet Brode if they wanted to. What matters is how it plays each part of the spell effect. If both parts of the spell go off at the same time, it won't, but if there are two 'parts' to the spell, it'll probably break Ashbringer.
It's hard to even base it off of other Combo cards. You have things like Eviserate and SI:7 Agent, who just do their extra things, but with Defias Ringleader, the card does that special effect for Battlecries and then summons the 2/1.

You can't play Deadly Shot without an enemy minion on the board, right? Kind of a bummer because this could be a clutch Ooze in some cases.
Not a bad counter to Cog Hammer at least.

It is a mage with a weapon, in a game where there are no mage weapons.
It could be a good card if every class got a weapon... aside of blingtron which likely won't be ran seriously.

The two cards are from two different sets released years apart, so they could have just missed the combo when they printed painter's servant. Magic is a very different game though, and there are some ways to disrupt the combo (even though it is pretty fast). You aren't completely helpless during your opponent's turn like you are in Hearthstone.
Also, I think you can only use the deck in one format, "Legacy", which allows nearly every card in Magic's history, which also means you are likely going up against the most powerful decks and combos out there. This includes a bunch of turn one kills and that kind of thing.
Harrison is a great card even though not every class has a weapon.
Card is all around terrible in anything other than tempo rogue. It doesn't help its effects seem to not promote synergy. Either way it helps rouges become a better match up for warriors and that is about it.
Harrison is a 5/4 body with a great effect. This spell is at best a 1-1 trade. They really can't compare.
...wat? Harrison is a terrible body for its cost and Sabotages effect is a 2 for 1 "at best". They really can compare.
Sabotage is a good card on paper, but it won't get much value as it's rather situational. In most cases where you need a weapon destroyed, it'll be better to use Acidic Swamp Ooze, as it's half the cost and puts a 3/2 body on the board. The "random" effect of Sabotage makes it slightly worse than it needs to be, in my opinion. It should have been a 3 mana cost card to compare with Deadly Shot; the combo prerequisite is enough of a setback for the additional effect.
Really hope the Hunter minion wins the vote. Looks interesting.

I think the spell is a bit underwhelming but still passable. I could see myself playing it over assassinate, which is mainly due to the lower cost.

So it's looking like around 2/3s of the GvG card is going to class-specific.
With the Ogre Ninja reveal, we've seen three Rogue rares, and I'm assuming that we'll get three commons per class even if we haven't seen it, just because having more rares than commons would be odd, and then two epics and one legendary, which in total makes 9 cards per class.
So assuming class equality, means that 81/120 cards would be class-specific.

It is possible that is roughly how it breaks down. Keep in mind that they never said it was exactly 120 cards. They actually said over 120 new cards.
I think more class cards than neutrals is really needed though.
Professor Lich

More class cards are probably easier to deal with balance wise too. If a class card is too strong, they can easily change that and only effect that class. If a neutral card is too strong in one class/deck but just barely makes another class/deck viable or playable, then it's kind of hard to nerf that card without hurting the ok deck.
This is just an example/assumption though. I don't think there has ever been a minion card in that position.

That's kind of the point. The flavour of the Warlock class is to trade resources for power, it's not their fault people realised most of the cards were shit. I tried to make Demonlock work after Naxx but it was shite and I went back to Handlock.
Agreed- they have had a major issue with too-good neutral cards dominating since the beginning and making decks (like UT rushdown) feel same-y, pushing the power into the individual classes is a better way to differentiate them.
I know that's the idea, but when 80% of a class's cards are unplayable while decks filled with neutrals are constantly on top of the meta only because the hero power is ridiculously powerful then you have a fundamental design problem.

You guys are forgetting that Sabotage, like Deadly Shot, will get around Stealth
