I hate these little inconsistencies. The magic player in me dies a little more each time one is "printed".
Same. I'm literally crying internally.

Fun deck idea, Iron Juggernaut with pandas to bounce it back, and some mill cards to speed up the opponents draw. D:

Technically "the coin" is not the same as "a coin".
Iron sensei would be pretty good with this.

So now that every GvG card has been revealed what is everyone thinking for a release date?
I'm hoping for it to release on the 9th.
Ah I remembered wrong, Upgraded Repair Bot is the better friend to this.
And this!
Fuck mechs!
Next week.
Yes, and it's depressing =(
Things like Murlocs, pirates, etc should be neutral friendly with 1 or 2 helping class cards. Not designating the first new class legendary to it. I'm seriously bummed about this.
Even funnier is that the priest got a shaman as a legendary.
I think they're giving each class a "tribe", or something like it.
Paladin gets Silver Hand Recruits aka Soljas
Shaman get Murlocs
Warlock gets Demons
Warrior/Rogue get a mix of Mech and Pirate
Hunter gets Beasts
Druid will also get Beasts but of a different nature
Which leaves Mage and Priest as the caster classes that don't really specialize in creatures

Neptulon into four Bluegill Warriors.
Farsight into Bloodlust.
20 damage on turn 10.
It's not a dream, it's a nightmare.
Oooh my god
Vol'jin isn't a shaman he's a Shadow Hunter. Basically like a cross between a Shadow Priest and a Hunter. Theres some shamany-aspects to Shadow Hunters sure, but arguably closer to a spriest.

Also, props to Blizzard for sneaking in Target Dummy in with the rest of the Legendaries.

Should have given Shaman Nerzhul! Instead Neptulon the Murloc lord.
Healing wave and Hex are shaman spells,Serpent Ward is a totem.
It's a shaman.

I am so going to make Shamurlock happen.
And when it fails I'll just run the exact same Shaman deck I'm running right now.

Valen into double of these. 12 Damage in one turn, assuming you can tank it.

The shadow hunter Vol'jin, son of Sen'jin...
Also, I hope Trump posts this video on YouTube. There's no way I can watch all of this today.

not to be confused with the senjin shieldmasta, that would be weird
This is probably why bliz didn't make buzzard draw cards on death, maybe to make these 2 cards mechanically different.
Granted, this card is better than buzzard is now. Cool though cause it is even more restricted than buzzard is.

Oh, I thought Vol'jin was only friendly, didn't even think about taking an enemy minion's health. Instant kill anything for six mana with Smite.

Probably gonna fit in that heavy spell warlock deck I was talking about when demonheart (aka felheart) was revealed. The positive is it hits face. Now you have 7 damage burst for 3 mana with soulfire follow up.

2,480 dust is all it takes to craft the new Murlocs (or, non-Murloc-but-Murloc-summong-Legendary) for my Shamurlock deck... not bad. Got it already. I need to get out of work so I can theorycraft up a new deck.

Vol'jin is a really cool but situational card, to add to all of priest's other really cool but situational cards.
If you play murloc shaman, you play Neptulon. If you don't play murloc shaman, you don't play Neptulon.
Trade Prince Gallywix seems interesting, like Cho except you give your opponent mana. Can massively backfire if your opponent has a lot of spare parts.
Malorne is crazy because he keeps coming back, but it's somewhat mitigated by the fact that he doesn't have an immediate effect on the board.
Mal'ganis is madness. Warlock can lifetap for free and you have to deal with Mal before attacking the hero.
Iron Juggernaut isn't as unbalanced as I initially thought it was. There'll probably be amusing warrior decks that just play pandas and this card and try and throw as many of these in your deck as possible, but I imagine that's going to be really niche. Otherwise it's sort of like Alex in that it eats a chunk of life out of your opponent, who you probably haven't dealt much damage to.
Flame Leviathian is awful. People were saying that War Golem should get a mech tag, well here it is. Its draw effect may be to your benefit or not, but when you play it, it's just a war golem with a mech tag.

So all the cards are revealed: https://twitter.com/cataclyst78/status/539882596461981698
The changes/nerf are so useless. Kill Miracle that was already dead , and nerf a fringe card from hunter? Undertaker need to be a 2/1 and Mad scientist need not to play the card, those are teh cards that everyone is playing, not zzzzzz auctioneer.
EDIT: also the flame leviathan is deceptively good. Free random Consecrate in games for control Wizzy vs random rush strats pretty good.

That druid card is VERY interesting. I'm already thinking of cards that could be put in a fatigue druid type deck.
Dancing Swords?
Naturalize?
And the new card of course, Tree of Life.
If the board gets bad, you have Poison Seeds as well.
Auctioneer was probably nerfed because of spare parts and other new spells from GvG.
Blizzard seems to have a very different strategy than Wizards with MTG. For Blizz it's totally fine to have super powerful cards that fit into most decks like Loatheb. Instead they have a problem with cards that allow control strategies and combos.
And Vol'Jin is one the most powerful HS cards as of now. The value is fucking insane.

Well, deathrattle decks got a lot to deal with in the new set coming. While miracle is a deck type that would get only stronger with all the spare parts being added.
Flare actually needed to happen. The card is just ubiquitously good in hunter vs every deck. Thinning deck for 1 mana is quite good. And it has the benefit of taking out higher mana cards often 2-1 or even 3-1 for only 1 mana. They were talking about flare changing (devs on twitter) well before this announcement too.
