I can't wait until they inevitably release an ulduar adventure.
By far my favorite raid.
Algalon...yogg...so good.

Ulduar is the perfect excuse to release a bunch more Faceless cards with crazy effects. Is there a WoW TCG expansion with an Ulduar theme? I suspect they're heavily prioritising raids and instances where there's a lot of unused TCG art they can use for the cards. I think that's why they've mentioned Karazhan as a potential future expansion, because that has art:
It's almost weird how this Malchezaar card would convert 1:1 into a Hearthstone card, stats, cost and all.

Because it's a Naxxramas card that you can't craft?

That would be a rather strong card, a 6 mana with decent stats that cycles a card with a chance to either make said card free or summon a 6/6? Might be a bit overpowered.
Yeah that will totally be fair and balanced in Hearthstone...Ulduar is the perfect excuse to release a bunch more Faceless cards with crazy effects. Is there a WoW TCG expansion with an Ulduar theme?

Yeah, they're different.
There's actually like ten different kinds of infernals too. That's pretty awesome.

Naxxramas is frequently recommended for its decent range of useful cards, but most new players don't want to immediately splurge more than 20 on a handful of cards or be unable to use gold to buy packs for more than a month. I don't know what you're getting at.
I see, interesting.
Probably another few tomorrow, then a couple more tues, then the final dump upon release for the rest.
What makes you sure we are going to be getting Class dragons? They already showed the 2 Mage cards and neither are Dragons.
Seems like every class is going to be getting a spell and a minion... that's about it (1 uncommon and 1 rare).

Is it real(the release date)?
They've revealed both Mage cards and neither are dragons. Class dragons won't be a thing. I suspect that the Dragon tribe is going to be more limited than mechs.
your math is off, it's 2 mana on 3 kills. 1 mana 4 damage anywhere you want it is A LOT better than frostbolt.
I really hope this isn't the case. Classes should all have their own tribes. I hope Priest, Paladin, and Druid all get a class Dragon or even 2. They all have control hero powers and would lean well towards a control tribe.

Priest/Pally/Druid can have Murlocs as a tribe if they want... I'll happily give them up as a Shaman player.
Druids already kinda have beasts. Although they do seem like a good fit for dragons too.
But I'm in agreement with those who think they probably won't reveal any class-specific dragons or even dragon synergistic cards. All the dragon and dragon-synergy cards released have been neutrals, if I'm not mistaken.

Math is hard
Still, Frostbolt freezes which makes it 4 damage with next turn's ping if we're talking about minion removal. The face damage is only really relevant in Freeze Mage and no other currently known deck could afford to run the card in the first place.
lmao I think Shaman should get an Overload dragon, that would be sweet.
The idea would be for tags/tribes should be the "multi-class" class specific cards.
Pirates are a good example of this, the way they interact with weapons means they are only good as a tribe in Rogue, Warrior, & Paladin.
Beasts are done differently, in that it's the class specific cards that really adds the value to the tribe. Druid of Fang and Kill Command are class cards that make the tribe worth incorporating into your deck.
Mechs are a lot like beasts, and Mage got the best mech enabled class cards, which is why it took off.
Murlocs just need card draw to be playable, so giving Shaman two ways to draw murlocs is pretty cool, and while the deck sucks for now(I tried really hard to make it work) I like that they opened up the door for it and it plays very different than other Murloc decks.
The best comparison for Dragon Breath vs Frostbolt is the Warlock spells. Darkbomb vs Soulfire is very much the same argument and most Warlock decks have picked consistent 3 damage over the possibly high value Soulfire.
Thank Reynad for this crap.

For select terrible seeming cards I'd actually like to see Blizzard give some examples of decks they feel they make sense in (or at least archetypes).
The only one they ever did that for to my knowledge is Gnomish Experimenter, where they noted it would be in a deck that has almost no minions, but then went on to explain they didn't actually want people to make decks like that which was kind of paradoxical.

Didn't blizz come out and say this adventure would be meta defining?
So far I haven't seen much that would change things outside of hungry dragon.
However, we have only seen half of the cards.

Even a deck with almost no minions has better card draw options than a 3/2 for 3 mana that has the possibility of destroying one of your minions. Most decks that run almost all spells with very few minions have very specific minions that, if wasted, pretty much ruins your chances of winning. Gnomish Experimenter is a bad card, Blizzard shouldn't even try to defend it. I can only recall seeing it played once, and it destroyed the guy's Loatheb. I'm willing to bet he pulled it from his deck after that.

Ew. Thanks for the heads up.
Not sure if I want to play oil rogue into the billion 0-2 taunts, despite the good aoe. Probably best to go Paladin tonight.
Isn't Reynad's new deck weak to Face Hunter? Everyone should play that for now

Have played a few games against this, Kibler's Mech Tyson Priest wrecks it hard.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Isn't that a good thing? That means they aren't gonna get in a power creep with each of the expansions.

I mean, we need some incentive to buy the new cards. I'm not saying an outright power creep (like a 4-mana, 5/5 Super Chillwind Yeti) but at least new mechanics that are worth running in decks. Something like a 5 mana 4/5 Dragon with Battlecry: Gain +2/+1 for each enemy Mech in-play.
How bout a goblin that has a battlecry: destroy target enemy mech. Gain two spare parts.
Maybe something with a Terminator theme.
Charge. Windfury. Gain +2/+2 for every mech destroyed. Divine Shield when taken damage. Deathrattle: Deals 10 damage to ALL characters.
Tempo mage seems to be pushing out the Face Hunters, so I had a 10 game winstreak going with Ramp Druid last night. Kezen and MCT were my tech cards over Harrison & BK.

I played a Control Hunter in Casual last night that countered my Kezan Mystic with his own Kezan Mystic. Now that's just bullshit.
I'm surprised that Kezan's ability wasn't saved for a legendary card. It's unique and powerful enough to be one.
Legendary should steal all secrets.
In the spirit of Bronze dragonflight cards being "mess up the basic rules of the game" cards:
Would this completely break anything? If anything, looking at the list of effects at the start or end of turns, way too few funny effects would actually change in a meaningful way. How about this instead?
Doomsayer would trigger instantly, and Ysera would give Dream cards at twice the speed.

The wording is super confusing.
"Turn effects happen on every turn." So beginning yours -> beginning theirs and end yours -> end theirs. fucking Mech Sensei would be ridiculous as fuck, and Micro Machine would trigger twice.
I tried this Kiebler-deck for a bit but I don't understand it. Is Toshley in to have more Pyro-activators?
I think just stopping turn effects would be very powerful.
How about this:
Fits into Dragon-y type lore - he eats time.
Yeah, sure. To be realistic, they probably wouldn't do an effect so complicated it needs its own hidden stack to work (like my Deathrattle variant), and yours is simple enough to keep track of in your head.
Imagine dropping him on the turn they wanted to Doomsayer you. Om nom nom
This guy would be the ultimate Dragon Paladin 4 drop.
