I'll make three predictions:
* The announcement of the gods thingy.
* No nerfs
* An xbox one version.

I just feel like I'm going to be disappointed
yeah, I don't think they will even speak about the nerfs here. Brode once said if they announce nerfs early, players will feel bad losing to those cards before the nerfs actually happen. So they are not going to talk about nerfs until like a week before they happen and that probably won't happen until standard arrives in late April. They can't nerf something like BGH in current meta for example, it will cause chaos. No stopping that Dr. Boom or secret play.
We will see some cards in form of show matches and hopefully are not forced to watch winter finals in between card reveals because screw that. No one cares about any of those.

If standard/expansion really doesn't come until late April/early May, Blizzard has lost their fucking minds.
Yeah, another month or two of this meta would really suck.

If they do that I hope they also add some secret removal cards, right now all we have is Flare(IIRC). I wouldn't be mad if they just added in a Kezan Mystic clone, but I'd rather they give a few classes their own unique secret removal cards.
Just got Alexstraza from a Watch and Learn pack
Please be good post-nerf, please be good post-nerf....
Or 1600 dust. Win/win situation.
I don't think they will do that, but this secret playing card will probably be moderately priced so that it won't be run in face decks but midrange decks will run it.
I guess "Enemy" = "Character", thus Face + minions are eligible
It would specifically say "Minion" if it meant ONLY minions
God no. Antonidas is my bro.

I doubt he will get nerfed. he honestly feels quiet balanced.
He is pretty balanced. Emperor and one turn 20+ damage from only spells is what's broken as fuck.

Can't wait for Standard, hopefully losing Naxx and GvG cards means it'll be harder to play that damn Reno card. Also hope to see a reduction in "dead by turn 7" aggro decks.
I'd like the option to reduce the graphics quality on Android mobile. My tablet can play it fine, but the lag and slow-down on my mobile is horrible. Can't help but think it's all the graphical fluff making it chug like a slug.

Unless they add another Belcher/deathlord style card or some way to protect your face in standard, aggro decks will become stronger.

Can't wait to see the expansion! But at the same time playing ranked and just hating this game so much, either's aggro mage or it's some mech deck where they start with double warper ofc.
Too bad I'm starting to agree with some people that we won't see much out of today's announcement other than the release and name which we already knew, and maybe one card or explanation of the new word. I don't think well be seeing all the cards and we wont be getting the Nerf list
That's what I'm expecting and I'm pretty hyped about it. A cinematic, some cards, a showcase of the new mechanics, maybe an exhibition match? Then I expect a walkthrough of some sort through the new UI elements for formats and the deck recipes... they have plenty to talk about today.
That'd be more than enough for me. Obviously they're not going to show all 100+ cards, specially if it's looking like it's going to release in a month at least. I expect something similar to last expansion, with a website revealing new cards over the next month.
They'll show more than one card. Usually with these announcements they show off 20-30 cards on the first day. Then another 40-50 over the weeks leading up to release. And then the rest of the cards a few days before they patch them into the game.

Just messed around with a Druid deck where every minion had taunt, played an aggro Shaman and I was dead by turn 6.
I think this upcoming expansion makes or breaks the game for me. It's just not fun anymore, just same shit different day. Either it's the revitalizing shot in the arm the game needs, or Blizzard drops the ball and I give up...
Do we know which pro players are going, if any are? I'm sure some streamers have made announcements.
I recognize at least Frodan, Reynad and Savjs, from the list of casters that will be there for the tournament.
Right but what I mean is, I have never seen it hit a minion ever.
Anyway, I got a legendary in a pack today, keep or dust?
Is kibler casting this weekend with them?

Damn I'm gonna be busy when the info finally drops, guess I'll catch up later tonight or tomorrow. Really excited to see the cards though.
That's some crazy luck w/ face juggler. It can hit any enemy, minion or face.

Could go either way, if you have some classic or TGT legendaries you need maybe you could dust him.
Never ever dust anything unless you:
1. Know exactly what you're going to do with the dust.
2. Will spend the dust immediately after.
Even as duplicates/useless cards, having a card that can be put in a deck is much, much more valuable than having some pile of dust just laying around.
And I'd keep Toshley in any case; he's no auto include but it's an alright card. Plus DEing non-golden legendaries just feels wrong to me.
I hope that's not the case. We already knew everything (they told us), other than the name of the expansion. We better at least see some cards/mechanics.
Every expansion announcement has had several cards revealed as well as the new major mechanic. I expect the new mechanic and a handful of cards to be revealed today with a new card or two being revealed every day until the expansion releases.
I hope that's from arena and that you're not actually buying gvg packs.
"oh look an interesting effect on this minion, too bad it dies to BGH"
aka
"I got the fun in my sights"
Because you don't want a card that is auto-include in almost every deck. He's borderline auto-include right now. If they make ANY good cards in the new expansion that are 7+ damage, then he becomes auto include again. He should be situational or a counter, like kezan mystic or harrison jones. They should swap his text with hemet nesingwary's text.
