Barring a top tier legendary or two in the new expansion I'm sure Rag will pretty much be everywhere like he was a couple years ago.

So did they show off any new cards besides the ones from the beginning of the stream?
Nope! We will get some more cards at some point during the tournament.

No posts in almost six hours, must be that late April/early May excitement...
No I think GAF was just down/unstable.

It's been stable for hours
It's Saturday. People are sleeping.
adventure announcements have been pretty good in general sure but the TGT announcement was handled a lot better than this one too
I started playing right around when GVG came out so can't compare as far as that goes
IMO GvG was way more game changing than Legion of Explorers and as an equal to BlackRock Mountain.
Naxxramas was more game changing though
That's when the voting starts. They said they will be revealing more cards during the Winter Championship stream which continues later today.
Cultist should've been a creature type, and the cultists should've worked together on top of buffing C'thun.

Battlecry: Summon 2 1/1 Cultists
At the end of your turn, give your C'thun +1/+1 for each Cultist you have.
Cultist
1/3
Otherwise you're just playing generic fair-costed minions that will, maybe, pay off, somewhere down the road.
Is this going to be a card? I hope not.

Deathrattle: Give your C'thun +5/+5 (wherever he is).

I'm gonna miss this Tavern Brawl so much T_T finished a Paladin 5-win quest in ~20 mins. Most opponents conceded on turn 2-3.
And wow, from all the articles going around it really seems like Blizzard is struggling with the nerfs. It's been a long time since they mentioned nerfs to the core set were incoming and they're still talking as if they weren't super sure of which cards will be nerfed and how exactly to this day. I wonder how much of an impact those nerfs are having on the delayed release schedule.
And I think maybe showing the "corrupted" cards was a mistake yesterday. A lot of people saw them as unimaginative and underwhelming. They should've showed some more completely new cards at least, and an exhibition match would have been great (specially knowing they had matches with premade WOG decks at the press-only event).
Crossing my fingers we get some more content before the 21...

not a fan of the start of that new expansion, so dozens of the commons and rares i pull will be useless until i craft certain legendaries....? seems like it would've been better off as an adventure. i don't understand why they didn't just put out a new tribe or expand the ones they have versus this weird gimmick. i don't want to pull pack after pack of cards that are utterly useless until you craft their associated legendaries, wtf

Only 16 cards will be fully dedicated to C'Thun, the other old gods won't have minions specific to them. So only 16 out of 130~ cards will be "useless"(the ones shown still have decent stats) without a specific legendary.
Source? That would be great.
To be fair, they will give you c'thun for free for the same reason that you gave.
I wonder if the card could be dusted?

oh ok, i didn't realize that for some reason. yeah they have fair stats but man, i'd so rather see the tribes in the game more fleshed out over building more decks centered around one card. my least favorite thing about this game is how predictable structured is. that's why i like making fun archeotypes and making them somewhat viable, like aggro priest. the truth of the matter is if i match up in ladder i can tell 95% of the cards in someones deck by turn 2 since everyone already does the same shit. i have so much more fun when i run into someone and i have no idea wtf they're doing
and that new loot hoarder is hot frickin garbage, odd card to bother revealing. i guess its acceptable for arena but lol
new loot hoarder should've been 4 mana 2/1 draw 2 cards upon death.
One thing I would like to see is cards that interact with or from the player hand, like:
While this is in your hand, the first minion you play cost (1) less. So you would have to consider either playing a good body or keeping it to buff your first drops.
Choose one card from you opponent hand. This card costs (3) more. If you keep track of mulligans and draws, you could make some assertions to prevent optimal plays from the opponent.

Running program MURDER.I just want to point out that the art for the Corrupted Healbot is seriously badass.
I think it's all great to and can't wait to see more.
I'll grind rank 5 as always and after that stick to arena which annoys the shit out of me too with the Plebadin common spam but at least there's variety in your own drafts. Tbh I enjoy the drafting so much more than piloting these days.
Wanna get golden Rogue but if I get rekt I'll just switch to some BrokeBack garbage for quick rank 5.

Spent 3200 dust to craft Control warrior... realized that using a deck that is weak against druid and paladin isn't a good idea, especially since those classes attract the most toxic people.

This first idea is great, the second one not so much. With that kind of ability you could kill decks like those which use malygos since you could make that card unplayable
MRW Ben Brode said standard will still two months away...
6 Weeks is too long to extend this fucking meta.

I have a couple questions:
- If I buy the GvG / Nax expansions, do they stay after the new update comes out? Or do they leave regardless?
- I haven't spent any of the gold / whatever I've gotten from playing through the tutorial and going through the basic practice to get my mage to lvl 10. Doing the expert practice now. What's the next step after that?
- What's the most cost effective use of my real life monies, if I'm going to pay for stuff?

What did you craft, the epics or legendaries like Grom/Alex/Geddon? Because Elise Warrior is fine against almost anything as it lets you run all of the answers and still does well against most control decks.
1. Nothing you own will go away. If you own GvG or Naxx cards, they'll still be usable on Wild, just not on Standard. If you do not own at least 1 wing of Naxx though, you won't be able to purchase that adventure anymore and you'll get locked out of the single-player content (and like GvG, any cards you want from there will have to be crafted obviously). I'd say if you care about single player content or having the Naxx cards (which are great) for cheap and/or playing Wild, get Naxx's first wing and then just unlock the others at your own rhythm without having to worry about it getting taken away.
2. Adventures. Adventures offer way, way more value than packs no matter which way you spin it. You'll be probably get a single legendary (who knows if it will be good or not) in 28 packs, 2 with a little luck, while by spending 2800 gold on LoE you get 4 guaranteed great legendaries and plenty of cards (2 of each, even) that see competitive play right now, not to mention the single player content which is a nice diversion. I think buying Adventures over packs as a new player is a no-brainer.
3. Adventures are much more cost-effective than packs for the same reasons I gave above.
1) They stay. after standard arrives, you can't buy them again
2) Depends, since you don't had all the cards you could had some struggles playing ranked where even at low levels you will find good decks, you can still try your best to find some archetype that fits your collection, or you could try to play Arena where the field is more even, but you will need some help learning to build decks. Also, if you get got at it, you will win gold and dust faster than ranked.
3) If I had some money, I will buy 60 classic packs, and the BlackRock and LoE adventures. You could buy Naxxramas if you want to had the adventures to play the challenges, and dust the cards if you don't want to play Wild

It was really funny to see Kripp get destroyed in Tavern Brawl last night, meanwhile I can't seem to be able to lose.
Yeah, but you wouldn't know which card is which, you'll have to make an intelligent guess looking only the card backs based on the way people hold their drafts.
You could make Malygos unplayable, or you could make e-sportal a 5 drop. Or you could make it like "this card cost (3) more, but not more than (10)".
The first idea could even have a drawback, making the card a nuisance if it is in your opening hand, like "your first minion cost (1) less, the second one (2) more/your spells (2) more". Make it a 5 drop so that you have no way to get rid of it until turn 5, for example.
I like the concept of it.
Same here unless the brawl (like this week) is 50/50.

May contain jokes =>
No it's not. It's still not rare for a face hunter to rush down a paladin or druid before they can pull any of their bullshit. It's just dependent on the draw.
I'm not a fan of playing Face Hunter. Especially considering every other deck that I fight against is a Reno deck.
Had the strangest game ever. Playing against a Renolock. Have him down to 7 health, he proceeds to play Reno, then same turn brewmaster to return Reno to hand. Fast forward, I get him down to 7 again, he's got some giants down and plays Reno again but this time the effect doesn't activate. "That was a mistake" emote and concede. Wtf? Still don't know what happened there
Did he use a Dark Peddler or any other discovery card?
Those won't matter as Reno checks deck, not hand.
Perhaps giapel was playing rogue and managed to play Beneath the Grounds for instance.

Those cards add to your hand, not your deck.
Reminds me of the game I played earlier this week, trying out Kibler's ShadowReno Priest. Rogue got me down to one, thought I was fine because I had Reno in hand. They ended their turn with Beneath the Grounds. The hardest of counters.
