Does this guy have some kind of Carmack laugh that I'm hearing when his mouth is closed? I swear I hear a little bit of it at times...

These cards look pretty difficult to balance but that's just me.

 

[Magnus]

Does anyone else hear a slight moaning in the background?

It's the presenter's laugh

 

[Gotchaye]

I like the idea a lot. Encouraging hero power use is a good way to encourage slower decks.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

lmfao at Frost Giant, handlocks are salivating at that

 

[gutshot]

New keyword Inspire, activates an ability every time you use your hero power.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Oh god...Saraad.

 

[Hylian7]

I'll have to see how this actually works out, and if there is other stuff out there to deal with it, but so far I'm not a fan yet.

 

[Ashodin]

Wow Saraad is amazing

Yay for more Ethereal bros

 

[Dahbomb]

Man so many "random" cards thus far......

 

[Kifimbo]

All the cards revealed.

 

[Yoshichan]

MOAR RNG

 

[Papercuts]

5 mana yeti that adds a spell to your hand when you hero power.

I'm liking inspire as a mechanic.

 

[Cipherr]

[Hektor]

[StudioTan]

Wow, 130 cards!

 

[ViviOggi]

130 carderonis

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Saraad is too random to be relied upon. Similar to Nefarian. Should be fun though.

Buying 50 packs asap!

 

[Yoshichan]

130 fucking cards

too much

too fucking much

 

[osu61303]

Why is he so careful not to call it the Argent Tournament? He slipped up once and stumbled all over it trying to correct what he meant

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

"over 130 new cards"

I bet most of them will never see play

 

[Ashodin]

Repost of my summary:

GvG-like expansion
'The Grand Tournament' - After defeating the Lich King the Argent Tournament hosts decided to reuse the tournament grounds and invited everyone to battle it out for fun
Couple of cards:
* 7 mana 4/6 pirate. "Charge. Costs 1 less for each friendly pirate"
* 2 mana hunter spell - "Each time you cast a spell this turn add a random hunter card to your hand" (showed the spell animation w/ a video)
New mechanic: 'Less focus on heroes' = Focus on hero powers - new cards that affect the hero powers
* 4 mana 2/6 - "Your hero power costs 1 less"
* 6 mana 6/6 mage card - "You can use your hero power any number of times"
* 10 mana 8/8 - "Costs 1 less each time you used hero power this game"
New keyword: 'Inspire' - Activates every time you use your hero power
* 1 mana 1/2 - "Inspire: Gain +1 Attack"
* 5 mana 4/5 legendary - "Inspire: Add a random spell to your hand"
Over 130 new cards

[Trigger_happy]

Decent druid card, decent druid card...

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Whats the discount on pre-purchasing packs? Can you do with gold?

 

[gutshot]

Pre-purchase card back:

 

[Yoshichan]

Pre-purchase card back:

day fcking one

pre-purchasing the shit out of htis

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Power creep is very very real. Watch Priest and Shaman get shafted once again.

 

[G.ZZZ]

OH GOD FROST GIANT

That is insane for handlock.

It fucking sucks for handlock. 3-4 activations bring Stone to 4 mana, Molten would need 10 activations just like this to cost 0, with the difference that your opponent you getting low life .

 

[Magnus]

Didn't know Kripp was from Toronto - REPRESENT

 

[shira]

RIP wallet

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Shaman! YES!

 

[JORMBO]

Can't wait. Going to buy a ton of packs, plus I have 8k dust saved.

 

[Biochet]

please shamannnn be good

 

[Fixed1979]

Whats the discount on pre-purchasing packs? Can you do with gold?

No way you'll be able to pre-purchase with gold.

 

[inky]

I might have to drop some money. The 4k~ gold I have atm doesn't quite seem like enough right now.

 

[schadenfood]

Hope we don't have to buy 50 packs to get the cardback/prepurchase--I'd rather just get 20 and grind my way up like I did with GvG...

 

[hypersheep]

I trust everyone will make the correct decision and vote for the blue lizard to be revealed next.

 

[Cipherr]

Man this looks fucking great

 

[Schryver]

Hope we don't have to buy 50 packs to get the cardback/prepurchase--I'd rather just get 20 and grind my way up like I did with GvG...

Im assuming it will be up to 50 for the prepurchase but we shall see

 

[Hektor]

I cant wait for it!
