Wow, now you have a chance to get 2 packs for just 4 wins in arena, and those 13 free packs, Blizzard is very generous lately.
More Evolve talk:
* I want to see what happens if you Evolve into a Knife Juggler with additional minions on the board.
* I want to know the interaction from Evolving into Wild Pyromancer. Surely, the spell effect will procc after everything resolves.
* I'm super on board with Onyxia + Evolve. An entire board of 2-costs, ranging from Totem Golem, Millhouse, Ancient Watcher, Doomsayer, Succubus, and Wrathguard. And you only need 1 tick of Emperor to make it a Turn-8 play.
* Evolving into C'Thun should still give you his Attack/Health buffs, even if the Battlecry is wasted.
* The ideal maximum you can expect is probably 3 Minions. One from a previous turn, one you play in conjunction with Evolve, and maybe something from a Battlecry or Deathrattle effect.

Deathlord + Velen's Chosen also did wonders.

excited to see Boom and alchemist go
Yup, also very very very missed, although deathlord has fucked me over a lot.
I think that bloodmage thalnos should replace loot horder
Did they fixed the captain parrot quest? I'm not that interested in the card but since I wanted Captain Greenskin for a long time, maybe it's a good chance to had that card just for collection purposes/free card

1. You don't summon any extra minions with evolve
2. Wild Pyromancer will probably not proc at all off of Evolve, depending on how they arrange it
3. yes plz
4. No, because the Cthun is a separate entity independent of your deck if you evolve into him
5. Yes

Emperor could still get nerfed right? Or do they only nerf classic/basic cards?
Oh yeah Bloodmage is supposed to be in there lol.
To counter freeze mage...hope enough people play aggressive enough decks and/or control war to force it out of the meta? It's just not worth putting in your deck unless the meta is like 75% freeze mages.

Loatheb always screwed me as a priest or while playing any control deck for that matter, i hate this card.

EATER OF SECRETS!!!
They aren't going to change emp now. If they were going to do a nerf they would have done it all at once to just get it out of the way. Now they will most likely say it's going to rotate out next year so why bother

I microwave steaks.
I usually see him get dusted, I will keep him for kicks. Too bad I dusted Milhouse

I have to figure out what deck I want to play in standard, I guess I'll see what I pull in packs tomorrow.
Speaking of which, what time does the new set go live?

Probably sometime after maintenance tomorrow morning, so after 10:30 a.m. pdt?
LOL, well, I wasn't exactly asking questions. Already have my assumptions (No, Yes, w/e, Maybe, and a guess).
And Evolving with Onyxia is probably the effect with the easiest maths to figure out, looking at how few 10-cost cards there are.
Sea Giant, Frost Giant -- 8/8, no change
N'Zoth, Yogg, Varian -- Downgrade, loss in value
Faceless Behemoth, Y'Shaarj -- 10/10, upgrade, but no Y'Shaari effect cause of full board
Deathwing, Deathwing 2 -- 12/12, major value, added effect of Deathrattle and avoid harmful Battlecry

Just want to make sure I have this right. Starting tomorrow after maintenance:
Does C'thun come in one of those free packs? Or is it a separate reward?
Also, will the two quests stack? Or do you get one after beating the other, and do they take up slots?
- You get 3 free packs just for logging in that come with C'thun
- You get a quest that gives you 5 OG packs for winning two standard matches
- You get another quest that gives you 5 OG packs for winning seven standard matches

He could. Blizard doesn't seem too keen on it, but I think both him and Alex will be issues long term.
Separate Reward, after opening your first WotOG pack. You get the second quest after the you beat the first one. They do take up a slot, and Blizard is going to auto delete one of your quests if you don't have room for it.

I really like Nerubian Prophet but I think one thing that a lot of people aren't considering(for arena anyway) is that even if you have it in your opening hand you can't coin it out on turn 2 as it'll cost 4. Meaning that if you decide to keep it you should be damn sure that you have something to play on turn 2.
Not a huge downside but I think it's significant enough.

I mainly want him so I can throw him out for free or cheap on an evolve turn. Already going to evolve my board, might as well get an extra 7 drop. He'd even be amazing on turn 5 w/ master of evolution. 1 mana 4/4 > 7 drop + 4 mana 4/5 is a really sick turn 5.

fun and interactive

He was one of my first classic legendaries. I still have Cho for tavern brawls with lots of spells as it's really fun haha.
Also used it in one deck against a mage and stole his pyroblast haha.
I usually only play it if I have removal on hand. Playing control priest, I use Deathlords/Belcher to stall while they fill the board then either Nova, Auchenai+Circle, Wild Pyro, Lightbomb. It's very effective I think
technically he had to draw and play Emperor, that's an interaction.

it's pretty reminiscent to the game I played last night. where the only damage I took was from alex lol then I died
I already had the account gifted 800 dust. Basically like I got a nice discount on crafting captain greenskin. Pirate warrior here I come!
Oh right.
So I was thinking to disenchant my Big Game Hunter and craft a bunch of cards that would be more useful to me in the here and now. Any reason I shouldn't go ahead and do this?
Despite a higher mana cost Big Game Hunter is still useful.
Where did you see the info about the possibility of 2 packs for 4 arena wins?
I will echo this statement. BGH went from being an auto-include into a consideration. That is the hallmark of a good nerf. If you are a rogue, you will probably still run it over assassinate, if you are a druid, you might choose mulch instead, or pay plus 2 mana to get a 4,2 not a bad deal.
I like to play the occasional Renolock game while pretending i'm going to be a good shaman player once i craft two feral spirits, Molten Giant is starting to be a disappointment that i'm thinking about dusting, i only have the one. I ended up playing him at 8 cost just because i was running out of time to plop him down vs a control warrior. He ate a BGH, but that seemed like a pretty bad turn.
Top 6 decks in the current post nerf, pre Standard meta:
Secret Paladin aka the King
Zoolock
Freeze Mage
Grim Patron
Control Warrior
Aggro Shaman
Every other non Hunter deck no one cares about.
Rogue and Druid bottom tier. Probably the worst these two classes have ever been in the game.

those two 2 days of glory for cw
If Control Warriors had even slightly better match ups against Zoo and Secret Paladin I would be inclined to put them as the best deck in the current meta. But those two decks make things difficult though still playable for CW. Also Renolock is still pretty string.
Nah... Secret Paladin still the best.

I am almost certain it will since wild pyro is an after play wording.
Wait so the nerfs have gone in already? I thought they were saving those for when the new cards came out.
They went live yesterday. You can disenchant cards right now.
new joust-blocking-owl meta.
My thumb is itching to craft Tirion and Ysera/Grom. It's hard to resist and wait until the day after tomorrow.
Nerfing Owl was a huge buff to aggro decks. Jousts just got a lot more viable for them!
