lmfao Eloises stream is pure gold. Talking about visiting Reynad:

"I think I'm autitistic, when people talk to me there's always awkward silence. But I didn't know someone else could be as awkward as me!"

"I have an in, boys" - Trump

I thought Trump was asexual.

 

[Dahbomb]

I spent way too much time on this.

Breh that card is unusable garbage...

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

In each time zone or a particular one? It's already past midnight in some parts of the world.

To get an exact answer you need to state your region.

 

[Joco]

Goddamn it why do I play this game. Playing handlock against a face hunter, I have 13 health to his 5, with Dr. Boom on Board and lethal next turn. He draws King Krush from his webspinner and hits me for 8, 1 and 1 with his two spiders, and 3 with eagleborn bow. Yeah, I'm salty right now.

 

[scoot3r]

Do you guys think the August 24th release date from Kripps video is accurate for TGT?

 

[IceMarker]

See georly! Dahbomb realizes this card's true potential!

Do you guys think the August 24th release date from Kripps video is accurate for TGT?

Going by past shenanigans with our computer's local clock affecting things in Hearthstone, it's a very good guess, but Blizzard could have just as easily put that in on purpose as a red herring.

 

[JesseZao]

I always assumed it would be the last Tuesday of August since they only mentioned the month. It's the softest way to announce something that is going to be a full month away instead of a couple of weeks.

I'm not 100% convinced, but expecting it then is probably the best way to not be disappointed

Arena - this Mage babby just had to watch me freely fill the board and slowly grind them down, with one card sitting in their hand since turn 1 - 100% Skillstrike which was unplayable due to the Counterspell I kezan'd on turn 4

BEAUTIFUL

FUCKING

JUSTICE

 

[ViviOggi]

Dude I missed this guy

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Wow, twitch advertisement that is a survey, fuck that. Kinda tempted to use adblock now.

 

[Ashodin]

SWIGGITY SWOOTY

BLOOD KNIGHT COMIN FOR DAT

BOOTY

Calling it now, something coming out that gives Divine Shield minions +1/+1 or something

 

[CoolOff]

Well... I guess it's better than Demonfuse?

 

[ViviOggi]

I dunno Kev

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Mini argent commander -2/1 charge divine shield 3 mana. Kinda hot.

 

[johnsmith]

Not terrible. Could see use in shockadin.

 

[CoolOff]

Mini argent commander -2/1 charge divine shield 3 mana. Kinda hot.

1 HP is always gonna be 1 HP though.

 

[Ashodin]

Yeah he's definitely a crazy combo lategame + Blessing of Kings/Might.

 

[Heyo_Rockbreaker]

Adding to that zoo/early control toolbox.

 

[Santiako]

it seems that it could easily have 2 health.

 

[IceMarker]

It's what happens when a Bluegill Warrior and a Scarlet Crusader make love...

 

[gutshot]

Missed opportunity. Should have been called Holy Knight.

 

[Santiako]

Missed opportunity. Should have been called Holy Knight.

to combo with silent knight?

 

[ViviOggi]

Sweet, an extra Patron

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Not bad. So much Divine Shield.

 

[Malice215]

Forget ball of spiders meta, I'm ready for the Blood Knight meta.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

1 HP is always gonna be 1 HP though.

Well, people complain about aggro, this is actually a decent anti-aggro card imo. At one point the argent commander for 6 mana was considered very good. This is at a much better mana cost at the same stats/mana.

I don't see 1 hp being a problem. If you're trading the turn you play it and then force them to use removal or even mana from hero power, that is going to often be a very strong play and a very early opportunity to turn the tables on an aggro deck.

 

[Dahbomb]

Mini Argent Commander but a bit worse than it.

Good for arena etc.

I suppose. I wonder what non-aggro deck it would fit in to not be irrelevant late-game.

 

[IceMarker]

Honestly I'm with you and Ashodin on this one. I've been kinda waiting for the day Blood Knight gets dusted off.

 

[manhack]

Argent commander is a good card and this is literally 1/2 that.

I think it is a decent card for aggro and anti-aggro.

 

[ViviOggi]

Brode just confirmed that they're actually working on something re: deck slots, don't think they've ever been that clear until now.

I thought that was too confusing for new players. Did their research show that new players have gained IQ points?

 

[Santiako]

5 bucks for 3 slots

 

[Pooya]

yeah deck slots confirmed, also more crazy cards but I have a feeling their idea of crazy is just more RNG....

His take on inspire was...actually like ours. Nothing like it's amazing guys.

 

[JesseZao]

There's already a 3/1 shield card (Scarlet Crusader) that doesn't have charge. I think it's a fair trade to have charge instead of 1 stat point.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Curious to see how much play Horserider will get. Lot of potential scenarios for it be good but I guess we'll see if it's valuable enough. Seems best as a tech card for an aggro heavy meta.

 

[georly]

What do you mean by deck slots? As in, being able to make more than 9~ decks?

 

[Schryver]

Horeserider with that water-blue sky to make it look like he's riding a seahorse? I think so

 

[Santiako]

There's already a 3/1 shield card (Scarlet Crusader) that doesn't have charge. I think it's a fair trade to have charge instead of 1 stat point.

yeah, for some reason i thought this was a paladin card, for neutral 2/1 is fine.

 

[Drkirby]

I don't think that card itself is very strong, but it has some combo potential.

 

[Malice215]

Honestly I'm with you and Ashodin on this one. I've been kinda waiting for the day Blood Knight gets dusted off.

Blood Knight is the one card I've been dying to use and hoping to get from a pack. I'll probably craft one once the expansion drops because the minions with Divine Shield will get some early use.

 

[Pooya]

that's a good combo with Blessing of Might, 5 charge damaged for 4, divine shield too. You could kill a 4/5 and still have a 5/1 on board. It kills Belchers too, it actually could be good for face paladin.

 

[Haunted]

So silence it or you lose? Downside isn't great enough!

Or Aldor Peacekeeper it for pretty much a win.

 

[giapel]

Can there be a dethrattle card that spawns a deathrattle card? (Non rng)
