Yea I saved up about 1200 gold because I knew they would announce one soon.

 

[Dahbomb]

Can't wait for someone to make a deck around this card and then have it be at the bottom of their deck.

 

[Little Nemo]

With the discover mechanic, do you discard the unselected cards or do they go back in the deck?

 

[inky]

Yea, monkey seems way too slow. They'll probably give Paladin a Dr 5 or something equally stupid so whatever... no one will get enough mana to play it in time (or most of those cards).

 

[Emerson]

They were never in the deck. It picks three cards from neutral and class (I believe), not ones in your deck.

 

[Dahbomb]

Discarded and they are't drawn from your deck to begin with. They are created from the ether (aka the RNG slot machine).

 

[bjaelke]

They are not from your deck.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I did not realize that it doesn't pull cards from your deck.

Well that's a pretty interesting mechanic I guess, depending on what kind of cards they put it on.

 

[ZealousD]

If people won't play iron juggernaut and beneath the grounds they sure as shit won't play this monkey crap.

 

[Kornflayx]

Discover would've been better if you could pick from 3 cards in your deck. But that would make Tracking useless.

 

[Owzers]

If people won't play iron juggernaut and beneath the grounds they sure as shit won't play this monkey crap.

I'll play it.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

This mechanic seems like it will be as good as joust

So unplayable

Oh, hmmmm... ok.

 

[Officerrob]

Yep, monkey is much worse than both of those

 

[Moonlight]

Oh. This mechanic is suddenly much less interesting now that it's just a more consistent and way slower eSportal.

45 Cards, $19.99

One wing per week as usual but skipping Thanksgiving week.

 

[BigJonsson]

lol golden monkey

 

[Cat Party]

Golden monkey looks fun.

 

[_DrMario_]

I can't fucking believe they built a mechanic based on one of the worst fucking cards ever put in Hearthstone.

Fuck Esportal and fuck Blizzard.

 

[embalm]

The Golden Monkey is the absolute extreme of a fun to play card. It is complete trash in the competitive scene, but absolutely bonkers and I look forward to the Day9 comes up with for the card. The setup alone for it is pretty cool.


I'm glad that the expansion is coming soon. Hopefully they include some card changes with it.

 

[Avinexus]

Damn, it feels like TGT was just released and another influx of cards is only a week away.

 

[Mulgrok]

That Frodan hair... what was he thinking.

 

[Pooya]

All of these "explorers" and name of the adventure were leaked by the Japanese cast list. So we're getting Maiev, Tyrande and Lady Liadrin too. Since they don't fit the theme of this adventure at all I'm guessing those are skins that they announce at the panel after matches just now.

 

[Raxus]

Hey Rey, let's just say there is medication that helps you get rid of all that salt.

Amaz looks like a Gnome lol.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Amaz looks like a Gnome reading from a teleprompter.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Until they rotate old cards out, we're gonna get 1-2 significant cards for each expansion from now on. Which mean i'm skipping this adventure.

Gnimshwith Amaz reminded me of Bert and Ernie.

 

[f0lken]

I remember when people said Mystery Challenger won't ever see play because Pally secrets aren't worth shit

 

[Raxus]

Wow. All these hearthstone players are awkward on stage. It is weird seeing as some are seasoned casters.

 

[squidyj]

I can't wait to never play the legendary that shuffles a card that shuffles a card that ruins my gameplan into my deck.

Explorer's hat seems to be meant for a lock and load control hunter style of play, low tempo solid value and the lock and load combo if you have a board.

 

[Dahbomb]

At least that's more cards than BRM.

 

[Sande]

Well, shit. I started saving up gold like two days ago and thought I was playing it safe. I'll try to stay strong this time and not drop any money on it. 40€ is already too much for HS.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Looks like Polygon has some info, although subject to change I guess.

http://www.polygon.com/2015/11/6/9673832/league-of-explorers-hearthstone-adventure-pack

A new mage spell card called Torch costs three mana and deals three damage, but also shuffles another three-mana spell into your deck that deals six damage, allowing you to snowball into more powerful abilities later in the game.

In keeping with the theme, League of Explorers will also include some new traps in the form of secrets. Hunters will have Dart Trap, which triggers when the opposing hero uses their hero power, and deals five damage to a random enemy. Paladins will get a secret called Sacred Trial; when this is active, if an enemy has at least three minions and plays a fourth, the new minion will be destroyed.

League of Explorers will feature five new legendary cards — one for each member of the League, and one for the villainous Rafaam. Brann Bronzebeard will cause any battlecries that get played while he's active to trigger twice. Reno Jackson will fully heal your hero's health, as long as your deck contains no more than one copy of any card. Sir Finley will allow you to discover more murlocs and put them into your hand. And Rafaam will give players access to three "powerful artifacts," unique spells that cost 10 mana in exchange for "crazy effects."

 

[Mulgrok]

Wait, the adventure is coming in a week? Guess they didn't want people saving up gold. Any way to get an extra buck.

 

[inky]

New secrets. Fucking great.

Will we at least get new anti-secret tech? Secrets for other classes ever?

=/

 

[Owzers]

I do want more paladin secrets so when i craft a secrets deck things will be a surprise.

 

[squidyj]

discovery is a cool mechanic but 2 mana 1/1 draw a 'mostly' random 3 mana card? ehhhhhhhhhh feels weak, would be nice if it was a 2/1

 

[Officerrob]

Hearthstone trash talk...

At least that new Pally secret seems bad

 

[bobito]

Kranich is a clown, hope he loses

 

[ZealousD]

I remember when people said Mystery Challenger won't ever see play because Pally secrets aren't worth shit

Every single piece of the Golden monkey equation has analogous counterparts in the current iteration of Hearthstone. And every single one of those pieces is awful.

People knew that Mysterious Challenger would be an etremely powerful play in the deck where he fit. The concern is that the deck would be watered down with bad cards.

The comparison is laughable.

 

[Cat Party]

Lmao, someone found a way to criticize this.

 

[Dahbomb]

MC at least had some debate over it, it was more divisive than these new cards.

 

[Raytow]

Holy crap that paladin secret sucks, and that hunter secret nice more food for huntards, thanks blizz...

 

[Pooya]

Reno Jackson sounds interesting, you probably can make it work. I wonder what's the mana cost, if it's 4-5 it could be playable.

So far the adventure looks completely awful, I'm sure there will be some cards in that one to last wing that are very good but you have to get all the garbage before it.

 

[bjaelke]

Brann Bronzebeard will cause any battlecries that get played while he's active to trigger twice.

I'm very curiousif targeted battle-cries will be affected. My initial thought is they won't. Fire Elemental will deal 6 damage? Black Knight take out two taunt minions?

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Paladins will get a secret called Sacred Trial; when this is active, if an enemy has at least three minions and plays a fourth, the new minion will be destroyed.

We found our sixth secret full tree initiated!

 

[funkypie]

can't believe the morons that are playing this new tavern. I figured it out on my first try. You have people attacking the boss straight away, he casts assassinate ffs. Or idiots casting buffs on a solo minion that gets assassinated straight away and paladins that don't use hero power to flood the board.

 

[Dahbomb]

Some of those Legendaries sound insane.

The Mage card is not that bad but the deck that it fits into is unlikely to get maximum value out of it because it might now draw it in time. Maybe in Freeze Mage as it adds another fireball in your deck. I like it at least but it's still slow.

We found our sixth secret full tree initiated!

You can't have 6 secrets, 5 is the game's cap.

 

[ZealousD]

MC caps at 5 secrets.
