That's nice, lots of cool people/things there. Should be fun to see them turn into cards.

Pyro never activates if it is dead before the ability goes off. You're thinking of a different game or rule I guess.

Oh man I just had a 4-3 arena run and the decks I lost to I got absolutely rocked by.
a) Chow. Chugga. Spider Tank. Blast Mage.
b) Coin Mechwarper, Clockwork Gnome. Then other shenanigans like spell power Consecrate and two Dark Iron Dwarfs.
c) Two Shrinkmeisters, Cabal. Time Rewinder. Mind Control. Plus Upgraded Repair Bot on a stolen Chugga. Besides the usual Dark Cultist BS. The second time Cabal was used he stole a Sunwalker and I conceded.

Blackrock seemed pretty obvious for the next adventure, Nefarian is notably absent from the pool of legendaries right now. Although I wasnt guessing Molten Core since Ragnaros and Geddon are already cards. Don't think other Molten Core legendaries are really needed though, maybe Garr and Majordomo at best. Or Golemagg?
Premature, but I'm guessing third adventure will be Old Gods or Burning Crusade stuff. Or trolls.
Golden celebration? Maybe every card will be temporarily golden? Or crafting cost of gold cards goes down temporarily?

Gaara was running it in the Pinnacle I think.
Gaara is currently playing his shaman with two lobbers in it.

Thinking more about it, I don't know if Nefarian will appear. It depends what part of Blackrock they do. They could just do Depths and focus on the Dark Irons, there are a ton of bosses down there, and that works closely with Molten Core. However, it could also just be two big wings, each with a main focus being Ragnaros and Nefarian.
I'm more excited about the raid mechanics though. I didn't do MC that much in ol' days, but they had some kind of interesting stuff in there. I just really liked how Naxx turned out. It'll just be interesting to see how they want to add cards to the game and such.
And yeah, from the sound of it, the final thing is just some one year celebration. Would be cool if it dealt with golden cards in some fashion.

That's exactly what Hearthstone needs! Five minute buff rotations and Magic Dispelling. Buy I should stop, anyone who knows what were talking about is going to know what's up.Yeah, them mechanics. Decurse spam and don't stand in the rain of fire
omg naxx release?????
Blackrock has five dungeons and can also contain Warcraft 1/2 or Draenor stuff if they want given the history.
Most of the MC bosses were pretty tanky-spanky, it was WoWs first raid. Most of the Salamander bosses just had a couple offtanks you had to kill first with maybe a couple dispel mechanics? One Salamander had a teleport and AoE. Magmadar had a fear. Garr had offtanks. Golemagg had offtanks and an enrage. Even Ragnaros was rather boring, he had a tank knockback and then he submerged halfway through the fight and spawned a wave of adds. Baron had his bomb thing, probably the only thing I see translating well to Hearthstone.

Is there a consensus in the Hearthstone as to which classes are strongest/weakest right now? I'm not a Hearthstone master, but from my experience right now, Mage, Warlock, and Paladin are tops while Priest and Warrior are near the bottomm. Game isn't so imbalanced that any class is invalid, but that's my view. What about you guys?
Mage and Hunter are top tier. Druid and Paladin below them I think.
I think this is the first time in awhile (if ever) that Warlock is not top tier. Zoo suffered from the soulfire nerf and it's a bad meta for Handlock. Jury is out on Demonlock.
Depends on the meta of the week, really. Game is in a good spot generally speaking.
TL's power ranking for this month was just published today: www.liquidhearth.com/forum/hearthstone/478662-power-rank-february-2015
Exciting leak on the new adventure. Yay!
I LOVE seeing how WoW mechanics and characters are translated into the HS world. They've done a really solid job with that so far, imo.
Aside from Mech Mage being everywhere - I kind of agree. I'm seeing a healthy mix of variety in class and decktype these days.

Yeah, I forgot that Molten Core basically boils down to kill the right thing at the right time. I just see something like Garr and Golemagg being somewhat decent. They should just do Firelands instead, shame it's less iconic.
Also, is there a point to spoiler tags anymore? It's been mentioned a few times now.

Cool that sounds more like it. It has been so long since I played WoW I only remember three dungeons at Blackrock and one was a raid that deviated from a dungeon 0.o.
One thing I'm surprised they haven't done is tie the adventures back into wow. Beat the adventure and get a tier set transmog for your wow characters (alt coloring to appease the whiners).
Would be cool to get T2 transmogs if they are sending us to MC, BWL, etc.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Depending upon how you deem them you have BRD, UBRS/LBRS, MC, and BWL. Then Cata added BLC and BLD.
BRD is divided into multiple wings now as well.

Thanks for that. Pretty cool to see. So is that list determined by how many of each class are I'm the legend category?
I can't make anything of that chart tbh, they used to have pro players rate the classes so maybe it's that and they forgot the explanation this time around. I don't think Blizzard has ever published data on legend outside of that fun facts thing they did a couple of months ago.

Played the same priest twice in a row. It's already a hard matchup for paladin, but this guy had stupidly good draws. Got both clerics out within 5 turns both games which really just shuts you down. He drew a shit load of cards with not much I could do about it.
Second game he thoughtstole Muster + Quartermaster combo. That's my "Why do bad things happen to good people?!" of the day.

People make such strange plays in arena.
I coin out Whirling Zap, he pings it (Mage). I play Flametongue and hit for 10. Then instead of pinging it dead he plays Razorfen Hunter so I end up with a free 20 damage. Couldn't believe my eyes.

Yeah, I'll use even my best removals to get rid of those clerics early. Priests will just ruin you.
