Yes,one more reason why Mal'ganis is good.
No he can't:
If you haven't played the game to at least rank 5 ,then you haven't played the game competitively and your deckbuilding skills mean nothing.

No he can't:
The assassinate on the chow = the guy is either terrible or you should be really scared cos his deck is insane.
His deck really was ☑ crazy, I should have seen it coming

Holy shit, 10 weeks after paying for naxx but it bugging out and not unlocking I can finally play the damn adventure. Let's hope the expansion coming out shortly unlocks for me a little quicker.
Certainly sucks how long I haven't been able to play(constructed was pointless without naxx cards, only had enough gold for 3 arena runs) but blizz did make up for it. They refunded me the money I paid for naxx, added enough gold to my account to buy all the wings and also added 40 packs to my account.

Hot damn, I'd take that deal in a heartbeat
Last night at work I decided to mess around and play a few games on the laptop while I waited for processes I was running to finish. Down to wire, we both had roughly 5 health and low mana. I was a priest and had fought off a lot of his damage over the game with lucky draws and well timed taunts. But he had some lucky healing hands and had me down to 2 health perpetually, him back up to 5-ish and gaining, but we were both drawing one card at a time. My molten giant came up, cost 1. First time I got to use that card. They were good people and didn't forfeit when I threw it down, allowed me to deliver the killing blow.

Will be crafting an golden Iron Juggernaut to go with my golden Gromm. Card looks amazing.
Oh dear...
I said Sneed's Shredder would be my first golden legendary to craft just for the chance of seeing any other golden legendary, and that was before the PEW PEW LAZER EYES!
I have roughly 3000 dust, guess I won't be needing any other GvG cards.
Amaz is reviewing the cards on his twitch channel. Getting ready to start class cards right now.

Wow, I didn't know that was Tegan and Sara. Neat.

Vol'jin's death sound effect sounds like he's constipated, according to Amaz. Personally, it sounds like a painful orgasm to me. Either way, it made me laugh. Also, Vol'jin has a special sound effect when you're playing against a Warrior (Garrosh).
Oh, combo-wombo: Faceless Manipulator on Malganis, then Master of Disguise on him. GG well played, hope you have a lot of AoE or Twisting Nether.

Lightbomb and listen to your opponent weeping through your computer screen.
Not sure how many Lightbombs a Warlock will be playing.

I forgot MoD was rogue only. Twisting Nether is your only option for a tiny bit of value.

Right. So if I am a Rogue facing a Warlock that played Malganis, I will cast Faceless on the Malganis, then give my Malganis Stealth using Master of Disguise. You can't lose the game at that point unless that Warlock is running Twisting Nether or has enough area of effect spells such as Hellfire, Dread Infernal, or Shadowflame. I guess the new Fel Cannon could save you too eventually.
Think it's a reasonable prospect to run that combo? I guess it would really depend on the meta, but it seems pretty situational. I guess the disguise/manipulator combo could work with other minions as well.
I'd have been irritated if Vol'jin did not have a special line versus Garrosh.

What Vivi said. It's just a funny combo that would we'll assuredly see someday in a HysteriA video or something. The odds of it happening are probably very slim.
Class legendaries then:
Bolvar: Crap, you cant keep him in your mulligan and he is a terrible topdeck. You want to ideally be waiting until he is at least 5/7 but the fact you cant simply play him when you want is too bad. So disappointed in this card.
Neptulon: This card is pretty good even with the overload. Looking at the murloc cards, you should get some value or synergy off of them and if you get warleader its awesome. Weirdly enough it seems way too slow for an actual murloc deck though. Still, I like it.
Malorne: I think this is okay, 7 mana for 9/7 isn't very good but the effect is worth the card I feel. Delays fatigue and its another big threat for the opponent each time. Still, its so slow.Ancient of Lore is still a much better 7 drop.
Flame Leviathan: Where is the joke Blizzard? This may be worse than Bolvar, you can wipe your own board, kill yourself with ice block and let the world know what you have in hand. Then when you play it its a war golem albeit a mech. Fucking trash.
Mal'ganis: This card is cool as fuck but not necessarily that strong. 9 mana for 9/7 in stats is crap for starters, the immune ability also isn't too impressive on its own. The Cenarius esque demon buff makes this card auto include in every demon deck though, if you buff 1 demon its worth it. The fact that voidcaller can summon this is also a huge plus. I like it but its so expensive.
Iron Juggernaut: This card is definitely good but the outcry of 'op' is unwarranted. 6 mana for a 6/5 is standard and the mine doesn't stop your opponent from drawing. However the fact that control warrior games nearly always go in the direction of fatigue means the mine has a very good chance of going off at some point. Warrior likes burst damage such as grom, especially to finish the game so I like it. Powerful card. Oh and it's a mech.
Vol'jin: Fucking insane card. You basically remove an enemy minion while getting preferably at least a 5 mana 6/5. If this works like alchemist it should be unsilencable as well. After you swap health you could smite or go for heal dmg with Auchenai. Best of the lot in my opinion.
Gahz'rilla: Been plenty of discussion on him already and yeah he's simply good. Especially now we have steamwheedle sniper etc to activate him. Does need to live a turn though.
Gallywix: Don't really know how to evaluate this, especially since Auctioneer just got nerfed miracle is even more fucked now. Anyway 6 mana for a 5/8 body is pretty good so you're probably going to get at least one spell out of him. So im going to say hes probably decent however I think Troggzor is the better anti spell minion.

Ah okay, I wonder if you can silence Voljin. I don't play arena much so I couldn't recall.

I would assume that you can silence both Vol'Jin and his target.
Other than the transformation cards,no changes to a minion are permanent.
If it was at least only minions then you could run it in frost mage as free removal,but like this it can easily kill you.

Apparently malganis even makes you immune to fatigue damage. Pretty cool I guess, making it immune to mill and win fatigue games without effort lol.
Admirable, Backspace, eKop and Chakki are reviewing all the GvG cards right now.

For some reason I didn't think ship cannon could hit face. That card could be easily OP in a pirate deck. That is gonna be insane...
A knife juggler that hits for 2 with a more sticky stat allocation just seems insane.

Yeah, I've got some Rogue ideas I want to test out, getting excited!
What would you say if I told you that Rogue is getting nerfed next week?

I agree all around. I was looking forward to Bolvar since he's a cool character but he's super disappointing. Flame Leviathan is total WTF!? I'm not sure what they were planning with that thing? A spell heavy deck with little to no minions? Maybe freeze mage or something? It would have maybe worked better as a warrior card in an enrage deck. Still super chancy and too liable to backfire to seriously use. Mages definitely got the shaft this time.

I am excited at what rogues could be post expansion release. Gallywix is an incredible legendary for the class. I've always felt like the 6 slot is something hard to fill for that class ever since sludge belcher screwed over argent commander.
No, the card text says to draw a new card.
Oh ok, thanks.

Everything is cool when you're part of Archon.
Fucking delicious when Shaman plays Bloodlust with a bunch of tokens, says "Well Played", doesn't realise I have Counterspell up. Next turn, Alex -> smash face.

Faceless, master of disguise, pass the rest of the game til fatigue wins (oh, but kill their mal'ganis the turn before they take 30 fatigue damage)
That is the long play OTK
You'll be back.
And yet some people are better at the game than others.
This is depressing. Every card sucks to these guys.
