We technically saw some other cards as well (without the text):

 

[Mr Cola]

First boss hero power is 0 mana

"Put a minion from each deck onto the battlefield"

 

[Vanillalite]

Wait, what?

DIS new OP card confirmed.

 

[call_kotaku]

I think hungry dragon is extremely OP, because if you can play a minion on turn 2 like faerie dragon, you can coin it out on turn 3 with no consequence because 1 cost minions don't do well versus 2 cost minions already on the board. Best case scenario you get something that will survive like blood imp or worgen infiltrator, or something that can trade like leper gnome.

Those are some silly stats right there.

 

[gutshot]

5 mana 10/2 = magma rager's big brother

 

[ZealousD]

Two Nefarians! One human one dragon.

 

[Pooya]

that's a 3 cost dragon over there, cheapest dragon.

edit: Forgot about Faerie!

 

[Rapstah]

I'm more concerned about the 3 mana 8/4. I guess it summons a four-mana minion for your opponent or something? What boss even is that?

 

[Nirolak]

I'm wondering what the drawback on that 8/4 for 3 is.

 

[Professor Lich]

It could be an adventure mode card.

 

[gutshot]

Warsong + Grim Patron + 2x Whirlwind combo wombo gonna be fun.

I thought they mostly made up numbers for the cards in promo videos.

 

[FiveSix4Three]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 5 cost 10/2 magmaw?

 

[Vanillalite]

The power creep in some of this is soooooo fucking funny.

I have a feeling shit gonna be wack when the expansion hits. LoL

 

[Nirolak]

Those are Rend Blackhand's real stats.

 

[Rapstah]

It is.

Eh, the numbers for the one card from there that is confirmed are real.

Edit: They don't have the mountain logo behind the card text like the real confirmed cards though, they use the base swirl instead.

 

[call_kotaku]

I'm wondering what the drawback on that 8/4 for 3 is.

"Switches your opponent's class to Hunter"

 

[squidyj]

Hungry Dragon turn 4 seems way worse compared to later on. Turn 6 as a Mage could be good value.

5/6 for 6? might as well play ogre, outside of dragon synergy. Not to mention the danger of getting something more dangerous.

I think if you have board this card will help you pull ahead quite quickly, you drop a 5/6 for 4 and clear out the 1-drop easily

Of course instead of grimscale oracle you could always wind up proccing a flame imp or dust devil.

Im imagining a nightmare scenario where you give a shaman a cleric without the power to kill it and after trading on his turn he has a bunch of damaged dudes and a healing totem

 

[Pooya]

It can't be a sp card, it's a legendary. I'm guessing it must be similar to venture co. merc. that's 5 for a 7/6 adds 3 cost to all minions. make it 4 here it could work.

 

[CoolOff]

5/6 for 6? might as well play ogre, outside of dragon synergy.

Very true.

Actually, none of the cards shown seems particularly exciting, maybe the 3/3 replicator if they "fix" Warsong Commander.

 

[Drkirby]

I'm wondering what the drawback on that 8/4 for 3 is.

Comes to play Frozen? Deals 10 damage to your hero? Can't attack?

 

[embalm]

I can't wait to combo this with Shadow Madness & Mind Control Tech. Keep your board at 2 minions or I'm coming to take yo things!

 

[G.ZZZ]

We technically saw some other cards as well (without the text):

Why all of those are Warlock? The Orc is neutral iirc.

 

[Kettch]

I was a little annoyed at the pre-order card back, but then I remembered that I've already missed some blizzcon card backs, the fireside cardback and probably some others I don't even know about. So the collector in me cooled off and I'll probably just use gold again.

 

[ZealousD]

BRD, BRS, MC, BWL, BWD. Those will be the 5 wings for sure. At 17 bosses it seems like not every boss will make the cut.

Lotta bosses will be cut from BRD/BRS. MC will probably be Magmadar, Garr, Geddon, Golemagg, Majordomo, Ragnaros. BWL will be Razorgore, Vaelastrasz, Broodlord Lashlayer, Chromaggus, Nefarian. Maybe they'll do the 3 drakes as one encounter or not at all. I don't know enough about BWD to guess there.

 

[Dahbomb]

Anyone got the full list of cards?

I see that they have added a new mechanic of "hold X card, destroy x card on board". Also seems like they are finally pushing dragon synergy.

And the gold grind begins!

They only showed a few.

 

[Haunted]

I'm wondering what the drawback on that 8/4 for 3 is.

If it's a Hunter class card, probably nothing.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Power creep seems to be very real.

 

[inky]

If it's a Hunter class card, probably nothing.

Battlecry: Your opponent discards his hand and takes 30 damage.

 

[Dahbomb]

Put me in the side that think Hungry Dragon is insane at least for Arena. Constructed not so much though.

Also, just using one cardback makes the collection pretty useless.

If you could like pick 6-8 of them at the same time to color up your hand, that'd make collecting them hella worth it.

 

[Nirolak]

Why all of those are Warlock? The Orc is neutral iirc.

Presumably to hide the actual class.

 

[ZealousD]

Power creep seems to be very real.

People said the same thing about GvG, yet people still recommend that new players get classic packs first.

Just because Blizzard introduces new cards that are good doesn't mean there's intentional power creep. Just means more good cards are in the game. An expansion full of bad cards that don't get played would be stupid.

 

[Nirolak]

5 mana 10/2 = magma rager's big brother

Clearly the missing card text is Stealth.

 

[Haly]

I cracked 20 packs a few days ago.

Now I only have 1000g

 

[ZealousD]

Clearly the missing card text is Stealth.

That would be absolutely disgusting. 5 mana pyroblast.

 

[Nirolak]

 

[Fixed1979]

lol, that's going to be awesome.

 

[Papercuts]

Holy shit.

 

[ZealousD]

You can just hear him laughing. Fill the board with them, lol.

 

[Professor Lich]

I can't believe Blizzard is going to let me reenact the bar from BRD. That place was both amazing and absolute hell back in the day. I hope Plugger is also a card. So excitied.

People actually ran BRD?

 

[Nirolak]

People actually ran BRD?

There was some great loot in there at launch, especially if you couldn't get through Scholomance's original version without a raid party.

 

[Professor Lich]

People actually ran BRD?

Only cool people who wanted Hand of Justice.

But then you'd just do a lava run anyway.

 

[Vanillalite]

People actually ran BRD?

Key run!

 

[mxgt]

People actually ran BRD?

I remember farming the bar area for Barman Shanker dagger before raids were widely run as it was the best dagger.

 

[Xamtheking]

Wild Pyromancer + Grim Patron = GG

 

[ZealousD]

I played a ton of vanilla and I don't even think I did a full run of BRD at any point. The dungeon was in a really awkward spot. Loot was better in other dungeons and it was so big and long.
