Anduin has Vol'jin the current war-chief of the Horde, so it's only fair.
All the classes have cards that don't match their in-game alliances. Valeera wouldn't work with the Defias rogues for example.

Inspire: Deal 1 damage to all minions.
Finally Grim Patron deck getting the love it desperately needs
Guess it'll be okay to run two then.
You guys have no imagination!
3 mana 0/4 stealthed minion: whenever your weapon breaks deal 1 damage to all minions
I'd say roughly 50% are Horde, about 30% Alliance, and 20% are Neutral/Subjective.
It's good that they are adding more Alliance cards to the Warrior class, especially now with Magni as an alternate hero.
Will do, thanks.

Cutpurse is a stupid name for a card

Wait Varian is a Warrior card? That's so weird lol
I guess Anduin can use Vol'jin though

Probably won't happen but it would be fun and fit the flavour if Rhonin would allow the boardstate to go back a turn or something. For example when you had a decent board and it gets wiped and then you draw an Echo of Medivh. Play Rhonin > get the minions back till the end of turn and Echo of Medivh them.for example. Assuming Rhonin is 5 or 6 mana.
They're based on the class they most resemble in the game as opposed to their relation to the character.
How so? It means a pickpocket or thief, and is relevant to what the card's mechanic does.
Was also the generic name for low level thief enemies in WoW.

Makes me think of the Dominion card game version.
It'd be too close to the burgle card to call it Burglar.
Will the distribution of cards be equal for all classes? For example, we're gonna get 2 epics, and for some classes 1 minion has been revealed and for some a spell, will we definitely get 1 of each for all classes?
Shaman has all its commons revealed, with 2 minions and 1 spell.
Man, I really want one of the three cards left for Druid to have Beast-synergy.

More like they think Warlock is powerful enough with the cards currently available and they don't want to make it too dominant. This has basically been the case for Druid since the original release (thanks Force of Nature/Savage Roar!), and since Warlock has about 3 decktypes that work well (Handlock, Zoo and Demon/Malygos Lock), I'm fine with them not getting anything that special. Sucks for people playing only Warlock, I guess, but I'd rather there not be 'hunter-like' ubiquity for any one class. Sadly, I don't think the Hunter ubiquity will be going away, though
EDIT: Wait do people not know that cutpurse has that meaning? Do I just read too many fantasy novels and think that this was common knowledge?
Not sure what the distribution will be in terms of minions/spells but I do know that all the classes will get an even distribution of commons, rares, epics and legendaries with the exception of Hunter which reportedly will received two legendaries.

It's not like this is a new occurrence. Succubus and Pitlord from the vanilla set are also horrible cards. Blizz wants to put in drawbacks for the warlock cards and they tend to go overboard and just make them horrible. It's a damn miracle that GvG had only good cards for warlocks.
Yeah, I was basing it on the Reddit-spreadsheet.
Man, I can't wait for the mega Facebook-drop in a week or whatever.
Oh OK.
I don't think each class will get an equal number of minions or spells at each rarity level, if that is what you were wondering. It wasn't that way for GvG, so I doubt it will be for TGT.
Cheers, that's exactly what I meant.

I'm excited for that 1/1. Going to try some plans.
I wonder if it will be something like Feulen and Stalag for Hunter if they ate getting two.

Maybe if Dreadsteed summoned an exact copy of itself every time it died it would be cool. As it is...more bad class epics, neat
Isn't that what it does?
MetroidPrimeRib

Does it? Card text doesn't seem like it would. Just says "Summon a Dreadsteed"
Yeah I do, like a Faceless.

I think he meant with buffs.
Yeah in GvG each class got 2 commons, 3 rares, 2 epics, and a legendary.

It has to die. Obvious combo with power overwhelming but it doesn't have charge, silence will still destroy it too.
Dreadsteed is one of the slowest cards possible. In a very slow deck a card like that would pay dividends. I think the issue is that the card is for warlocks. Their hero power means that they don't really want to play the slow game. Maybe in arena it is better because having an infinite ping is worth more. Almost like having a free mage hero power every turn.
The only way that would work would be with reincarnate/deadly shot/twisting nether/etc. Otherwise, it'd have 0 hp because it died.
Most people seem to think they will be these two.

My guess is they won't have Feugen and Stalag type synergy, but something more like the Twin Val'kyr sisters. Stats and mana costs will be the same and the text will be similar.

Who ignored the OT title and voted for the Warlock card?

Darksteed. Next turn baron and trade.
Follow up with argus or sunfury and eventually malganis and sea giants.
With faceless, it is a fun counter to patron.
I think it could work. I call strong card.

It is really just two to get things started + nobody is going to waste a silence so you have time + it is warlock.
You'll have the cards.

I just don't see what it would replace in atleast existing Warlock decks.

It was a 4/3 demon though. Which is an important distinction.
I guess they're trying to make something like a Suicide Black deck from magic. Cheap beefy minions that also hurt yourself. Demonfuse seems truly horrid, but in a deck like that it might be a thing (in addition to the one that buffs +2/+2 and can also deal damage to an enemy, not instead of it).
It could become a new archetype and it's one of the decks I used to play eons ago when I played Magic, so I'll certainly try to make it work when the new set comes out.
The title was something else during the voting. ;_;

One Dreadsteed is fine, but I want more.
