What's so crazy about the secret? I assume it just activates once, it's not that bad.

I wasn't paying attention to the stream. Did it only activate once and then go away or did the hunter remove the secret?

 

[Emerson]

Are they really still not announcing release date?

 

[Phawx]

WHAT

summon a random legendary

 

[Schryver]

lol. RNGesus is priests only option

 

[Princess Carl]

Lol that legendary

 

[fluffydelusions]

dat priest leg

 

[Peanut Butter]

Wtf @ that Priest legendary.

 

[Strider]

Dat Priest Legendary O_O

I'm so hype for this expansion.

 

[squidyj]

paletress, that's pretty nice.

 

[zoukka]

Priest Legend sucked, too bad.

 

[Mr Cola]

wow

 

[Professor Lich]

Oh hey, that's exactly how that boss fight works too. Neat.

 

[Rockyrock]

someone has to ask blizzard why the majority of epics are such trash.

 

[slayn]

priest legendary seems quite bad. random and slow

 

[gutshot]

New Priest legendary:

 

[BananasWithGuns]

No date? Really?

 

[mxgt]

Eh, it's basically a 9 mana 5/4 because it's never gonna live to the next turn.

Kinda bad.

 

[Haly]

Effectively 9 mana 5/4 + Random Legendary...

So you need a Legendary that costs 5 or more to get value parity.

 

[inky]

Looks a bit meh

 

[Opiate]

Confessor Paletress turn 7
Sneed's Turn 8

 

[Dahbomb]

So the only class Legendary that remains are the two Hunter ones right?

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Priest Legendary is decent but it's essentially a 9 mana 5-4. What you get will determine if you got value or not.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Maybe with Thaurissan and some hero power manipulation it could be amazing but yeah, it's pretty much akin to Fizzlebang. You're going to get one use out of it.

 

[JSR_Cube]

I guess you could save some spells to buff its health but still not a great legendary.

 

[Opiate]

Yeah, the Paletress is not good. Priest is just looking very weak to me.

 

[Hupsel]

What is the neutral legendary that people said is good for rogues?

 

[zoukka]

So we got two hard anti-aggro legendaries. The one that takes damage from your hero and Chillmaw. Blizz listened to the whine!

 

[Officerrob]

Priest is going to remain bottom tier

 

[Dahbomb]

The Paladin secret was the best card shown in that whole stream.

Absolutely insane. Like what the hell were they thinking with that.

So we got two hard anti-aggro legendaries. The one that takes damage from your hero and Chillmaw. Blizz listened to the whine!

Hardly. Chillmaw is basically a more expensive Abomination (which doesn't see play) and the other anti aggro Legendary is basically a worse taunt. Chillmaw however will see play in Dragon decks.

The other Dragon taunt is nice because it's a better Senjin for Dragon decks. That's the type of card that Dragon decks actually needed.


This is all moot because the Paladin secret is the best secret in the game for Aggro decks.

 

[JSR_Cube]

They better have some more cards against secrets in the rest of the reveal.

 

[squidyj]

Eh, it's basically a 9 mana 5/4 because it's never gonna live to the next turn.

Kinda bad.

....you're discounting the part where you get another legendary in your calculation. it's 9 mana 2 legendaries. sure it can bomb and give you nat pagle or cho, but there's so many high cost legendaries out there, the curve is quite high. I find it hard to believe that it wouldn't be worth the 9 mana.

The Paladin secret was the best card shown in that whole stream.

Absolutely insane. Like what the hell were they thinking with that.

I dunno, to have it be truly crazy you have to have like 3+ minions up at the start of your next turn, so your opponent has to leave your board alive. Has leaving a paladin's board alone ever been a good idea?

 

[Professor Lich]

What is the neutral legendary that people said is good for rogues?

Maybe they meant Boarshield. He takes damage from weapon attacks to minions.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Yeah, the Paletress is not good. Priest is just looking very weak to me.

Yep atleast make it a 6/6 like Troggzor.

 

[Officerrob]

The Paladin secret was the best card shown in that whole stream.

Yeah, agro Pally is looking to become a serious problem

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

What is the Paladin secret?

 

[Magnus]

I get that it may not be the most competitive card ever, but damn if that Priest legendary ain't exciting. YES!!

 

[gutshot]

The Paladin secret was the best card shown in that whole stream.

Absolutely insane. Like what the hell were they thinking with that.

Huh? It's a delayed Power of the Wild without the flexibility of also being a minion. I mean, it's good but not insane.

 

[Emerson]

The Paladin secret was the best card shown in that whole stream.

Absolutely insane. Like what the hell were they thinking with that.

Why? It's just +1/+1.

 

[JSR_Cube]

What is the Paladin secret?

Competitive Spirit: 1 mana rare paladin spell, secret: when your turn starts, give your minions +1/+1

 

[Haly]

Problem is it's not as good as Ysera. And Ysera's average card value is very reliable whereas this is going to give you Tinkmaster Overspark...

Or Cho.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Yeah, agro Pally is looking to become a serious problem

Its already pissing me off more then face hunter.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

At least taunt Warrior will essentially hard counter any aggro deck.

 

[Opiate]

....you're discounting the part where you get another legendary in your calculation. it's 9 mana 2 legendaries. sure it can bomb and give you nat pagle or cho, but there's so many high cost legendaries out there, the curve is quite high.

He's not discounting that

The card itself is a 5/4 which is 4 mana
Then you get another legendary, which has to be worth 5 mana to make the total investment (9 mana) worth it.

He's ignoring the heal you get from inspiring, though, which isn't fair. And he's operating under the assumption that paletress will be eliminated with extreme prejudice as soon as the enemy's turn starts, which is far more fair.

 

[Pooya]

Paletress can also lose the game for you, bad bad bad.

Some cool cards though, stream was fun.

I'm excited for dragons, even if they might suck they are so fun. Ofcourse they had to make it an epic :\

 

[zoukka]

Maybe they meant Boarshield. He takes damage from weapon attacks to minions.

wat?

At least taunt Warrior will essentially hard counter any aggro deck.

Like warriors don't already

 

[mxgt]

I think the risk of getting a dud is too high for the 9 mana cost.

But we'll see, it's certainly an exciting card.

 

[Dahbomb]

Huh? It's a delayed Power of the Wild without the flexibility of also being a minion. I mean, it's good but not insane.

Why? It's just +1/+1.

It's only 1 mana but more importantly it gives Paladin a reason to use Mad Scientist which means they get to use it for free. With cards like Muster for Battle and the various ways they can summon more recruits in TGT, they can easily have a board with a lot of minions.

Like this card already makes an insane cards like Muster for Battle and Mad Scientist even better. The secret aspect of it means that you will be playing guessing games with this and Avenge which means sub optimal turns which plays right into what the Paladin would want you to be doing.

 

[JesseZao]

Do they still need wiggle room on the release date? Why continue to hold off stating it?

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Biggest winner from the stream is probably dragons. Two great taunt minions with one having a board clear built in.

 

[Professor Lich]

wat?

If you have Ramshield out and hit a minion with your face, he will take that damage. I'm not sure if that's what people meant but it's a cool interaction.
