Play a minion counts when you play a minion card. This is a spell card.

I want nothing more for this expansion than for that card to be called Muster for Animals.
I never get Huffer. Always birdo or bear. I'm fine with bear, but birdo on an empty board...
Triple Huffer is basically Druid Combo but better, haha.

I thought so, but I couldn't test it to be sure, just wanted to be sure. Since secrets don't matter, what does the order they summon in matter?
It could matter in instances where there isn't enough space on the board to summon all three. So you always know with one space Huffer, 2 spaces huffer + leokk.
You might be playing it on a board with 5 or more minions?

Probably for the order of simultaneous effects, like deathrattles or vanish. Lets say the opponent has 9 cards in hand. If you vanish, the first minion summoned will go to hand and the second summoned and third will be destroyed.
^full board too
If you have a Dire Wolf Alpha or something else that buffs the minions next to it. Knowing Huffer is on the left can help you make sure your stuff is in the right position.

really good read on the fallout of the chinese ban wave that happen recently, for those interested.
Still hoping it's a warrior spell, just cause I want art of garrosh sipping on tea with his pinky up

With Duplicate and Vaporize (lol) leaving Standard, I'm legitimately hoping for a couple new Mage secrets and some minions to help a Secret-focused deck out a little more. I know a lot of people hate secrets on principle, but Mage secrets are almost always IMO really fun cards to trigger and build decks around.

Secrets just need something to make them more palatable in play. It's not enough to reduce their cost. If anything, I'd rather secrets have card draw as a staple, and adjust their power/stats accordingly.

hunter card doesn't seem that bad. Get at least 5 dmg out of it w/ huffer and have a 5/4 taunt as well. and leokk buffs any other creature you have out
That Hunter card is nutso.
Animal Companion is a very good card in spite of it's variance. There's always the chance you get Leokk when you need Huffer or Huffer when you need Misha - and it's STILL high value because it's a 3 mana spell summoning a minion that's closer to a fair 4 drop. When you factor in their synergy, it looks a little OD.
It's basically summon Reckless Rocketeer, Evil Heckler and Raid Leader (with +2 health) on one 8 mana spell. ~13 mana worth of value in one card.

Mad Scientist is the real reason why Mage secrets are going to disappear again. The fact that your opponent has to interact with secrets means the value proposition is always out of your hands, so spending 3 mana for anything other than Mirror Entity and Ice Block can be hard to swallow.
Good call, good points. Thanks!
I like the general power level of Mage secrets though, even if it means that they're too slow to just play. Tacking on something extra like card draw to everything would either overcost the effect or tune it down into something less interesting. I just need some extra synergy cards with activated/in play secrets. A minion that triggers Secrets twice or something would be fun even if it'd have pseudo-taunt. I don't need the deck/secrets to be amazing, I just want some more cards to support trying it anyways.
Whoops. Brainfart. Point still stands!
So...Just finished this match.
After I reclaimed the board, I got Alexstrasza'd . While they were down to just topdecking I kept getting 0 and 1 mana minions so I was at the mercy of my taunt totems.
So I have a full (but weak) board for the third time. I'm down to 6HP, they get an Al'Akir and kill my last taunt and bring me down to 3HP.
But that's it, I have a mecha cat so next turn, I have lethal.
So what's the very last portal that they get?
I felt like Kripp, I don't think I've ever had a bullshit match of this caliber, it really makes you want to stop playing for a few days. I don't know how he does it. (Other than getting paid good money ofc)
Ha, you should see my constructed games.
Ever been killed by a Ragnaros while you had 7 minions on the board?
I know, Hearthstone is primarily RNG, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was in the top 5% of bad luck.
Too early to say for sure but with Belcher going away and no viable neutral taunt revealed yet I wouldn't say it's too likely. Meta-wise it depends on how prevalent ramp-ish Druids are going to be (while Blizz is still pushing for midrange beast Druid), with Thing from Below Shaman is a factor as well. Still, unless there's a high-value neutral taunt the aforementioned decks have to become really dominant for TBK to be worthwhile.
I'd just wait.

No, but I had an a 7-minion board where my opponent played Ragnaros, cleared everything but one minion, and Ragnaros decided not to go face, winning me the game. I really respected his gameplan, because that was pretty well thought out, and he had nothing else to go on.

I think the problem is that some of the cards you get aren't Unstable Portal.
I think he will, because Sludge Belcher was everywhere and Owl was a more efficient solution for that particular problem. If we start seeing more Sunwalkers and Ironbark Protectors then definitely TBK will be important.

I kind of wish Spare Parts weren't going away because Rusty Horn to TBK was a great combo.

Do you guys think The Boogeymonster would actually be somewhat viable if:
1. It was a 5/8, which might help it stick a little bit longer
Or
2. If it was "Whenever this minion kills another minion, gain +1/+1"

I just had the turn 1 coin portal felguard dream
In my first brawl I had the turn 1 coin portal millhouse nightmare.
Then my opponent played lotheb for 2 mana and I conceded.
Not really. If it got +2/+2 every time it killed another minion, it could be really good. You taunt it up, it becomes really hard to kill. Right now, it grows slower then Gruul in all cases (Unless you give it charge as a warrior I guess?)

Majordomo Executus will save you!
Another Pit Lord in a pack, the good news is that I have enough dust for a legendary of my choice... when Standard comes. I can't wait for it to come and finally dust and craft cards again after the nerfs.
Fake edit: I forgot I have to craft a Murloc Warleader first, so still 400 dust away from a legendary unless Pit Lord gets nerfed. I heard it's pretty overpowered because it lets you get a powerful minion a turn before, so it definitely should.

Shield Slam continues to elude me. At least I got a Van Cleef a few weeks ago. Really makes CW tough to play without that card. It's really really important.
Shield Slam (and Prep) should be basic/common for sure

Right after TGT came out, I gave up on trying to get Shield Slam out of packs and finally crafted 2 of them to go in a Control Warrior deck with my new Justicar and Varian. The very next Spectator Quest pack gave me a Shield Slam. The 100 dust was nice, but fuck you, RNG.
I know those woes i have 1 shield slam and have never gotten a preparation. I also don't want to craft them if I can do better with other classes.
Reno Jackson warrior gave me a niche there for control but I hardly ever touch rouge. If I do it becomes a zoo deck basically.
This got me thinking i wonder what is the most craftedcard in hearthstone. I'll place my bet on boom but I wonder about any others? Prep FoN AoL are probably all up there.

Thankfully I got a Shield Slam and a Brawl relatively soon but still no Preparation (and Blade Flurry...) and all the Druid epics except a single Ancient of Lore, so the druid and rogue quests are still painful after a year playing this. I tried egg Druid and then all those Paladins and Deathlord priests appeared and wrecked me, so I don't really know what to do.
yeah look at coghammer for example
that card is flat out ridiculous but how often do you really see it? almost never even with how popular paladins are

Would Epics matter more if you were guaranteed at least one per draft?
All I'm trying to get at is that commons matter more in arena since you get them the most. With that in mind, couldn't you argue that Epics would matter more if you had more of a chance to get them?
Also, does this mean Rare cards are more important than epics too?

That hunter card is pretty crazy
