Couldn't you have posted this a year and a half earlier? Back when I started, Velen was the first legendary that I crafted because I wanted to play Priest so bad. And I still play Priest but without Velen.

You could always try the OTK Embrace the Shadow deck when that becomes a thing.

When are the card reveals today?

So i was thinking about counterspells and secrets again in general, and 1 how they cost different amounts of mana between the 3 classes, but 2, why the hell do only mages get access to things like iceblock and like counterspell. Why not give other classes the ability to stop a spell cast. Lorewise all the classes have an cast interrupt spell but they decide only mages get it here

1pm eastern is when the votes stop i think and they tell the winning streamer they get 24 hours to show it.Seeing as Kno is about to win, and hes probably sleeping (it's currently 2 am there) we wont see it for a few hours, maybe.

I'm gonna try soo hard to make that a thing ;_;

I'm also gonna try to make dragonlord a thing.

I don't really understand making a charity sale platform exclusive tbh. Also why another mage alt?

Apparently the Charity effort is being run by Apple.

You can't really do an interrupt in Hearthstone unless it is a secret.

Unless you attach it to a minion or something?

It's part of "Apps for Earth". Several apps on iOS are offering something similiar.

Apple needs their 30% cut to charity.

So something else from Reddit that maybe some people will find interesting

Here's the new card: https://twitter.com/coL_noxious/status/720308756848861185

Now for the math. Taking into account all 73 3-cost minions that will be available in Standard, the stats for a three drop are:

Mean: ~2.6/3.0

Median: 3/3

Mode: 3/3

3 cards have charge

4 have windfury (2 are conditional; Dragonhawk Rider & Raging Worgen)

1 has Spell Damage +1

2 have stealth

5 have taunt

Edit: more card text stats

Divine Shield: 4

Inspire Effects: 4

Deathrattles: 3

Aura Effects: 6

Conditional Lightning Bolt Effects: 18

Poison: 1

All hail shredder Mark II

from here https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/4erc0z/i_did_the_math_for_noxious_new_card/

That was for the current standard cards, no GvG and Naxx included.

 

[Crosseyes]

I hope they do an 'Old gods' tavern brawl before release like they did with the grand tournament. One deck a Cthun deck and the other... something else? What would the other deck theme be? They had the inspire vs joust deck for the last one.

Wow this is shitty, RDU got disqualified from a tournament because he had the newest patch and bought Khadgar

Reddit is also saying that poison seed + sheep isn't working again.

C'thun vs all the other old gods in one. Or maybe there are 4 decks and it's random which one you get. Each one based off a different old god.

This is a good idea.

What deck are you playing?

miladesn's Smorc Paladin:

Anyone got any good decks for the crappy brawl this week? I got a bunch of quests need doing.

How does that disqualify him? =/

 

[georly]

Because he can't play.

 

[Karsticles]

I can't believe we have 3 human mage options. Oi.

 

[thekillermuffin]

new Rogue card. I like it.

 

[Drkirby]

Amazing new card, it will be a bit hard to play but it has a ton of potential. Let's you double up on useful battle crys and death rattles, and gives you a card for easy combos.

 

[georly]

new Rogue card. I like it.

That priest legendary WISHES it were as good as this card.

Also, lololol more mill rogue tools. Basically another shadowstep for using on battlecry heavy minions - better than shadowstep in some instances, worse in others.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

That's better than Herald Volazj lol.

 

[thekillermuffin]

That's better than Herald Volazj lol.

And an epic too. Poor Priest

 

[Apathy]

Just going to be use on coldlights, then shadowtep her back, and use on another coldlight

That's better than Herald Volazj lol.

I don't think anyone can question how salty priest players are right now. Half the cards and it's hard to see how anyone else could lose more than priests this expact

 

[Dahbomb]

new Rogue card. I like it.

This is dope.

More fuel for Mill Rogue!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

That card is so cool, very versatile too.

 

[georly]

Yeah, that was my implication. It's possible it gets used on other stuff, situationally, but that will be its primary target, currently.

 

[Karsticles]

Love that Rogue card. I'll pop that on some of these new Rogue Deathrattles for even more value.

 

[Nirolak]

It's hard to imagine it not being able to work with at least something.

 

[gutshot]

I wonder how that interacts with Unearthed Raptor. Would it maintain the Deathrattle that the Raptor copied? Could you potentially end up with two Deathrattles on your 1/1 Raptor?

 

[Moonlight]

Super cool design to that card. Creating 'custom' cards is such a cool thing in general, and one I wish Hearthstone would take more advantage of in general versus RNG/pulling cards out of the existing pool suddenly.

This would be decent in Deathrattle Rogue too, maaaybe? Kind of a pseudo-Raptor, I mean.

 

[Dahbomb]

You can use this on Van Cleef probably. Not much of a difference between a 1/1 Cleef and a 2/2 Cleef.

Though we all know it will be used for bouncing Coldlights.

 

[Apathy]

I could see some malygos conceal shenanigans done for laughs

10 - malygos + conceal (or the toxin)
11 - the girl > mini malygos > evis > evis
12 - cry if this got used on you.

 

[QFNS]

This card is pretty good. Helps enable combo by making the minion cost 1 and helps keep board presence with more minions. Just a great card overall. Obviously an amazing mill tool, but I think Raptor decks looking to utilize more of the best Deathrattles could find a place for it too. Really like the design on this one.

 

[greepoman]

I assume you can gang-up the the 1/1 minion? Could do some really cool things.

 

[Karsticles]

I am really hoping for the return of Van Cleef with the death of BGH.

 

[georly]

Oh good point. Wonder if it gangs up the original version or the 1/1

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Emperor > Shadowcaster > 1 mana Emperor next turn.

Doesn't really work if you want to use your emporor on turn 6 though.

 

[Pooya]

Azure Drake replacement/alternate I guess.

I don't think it's very good, it's ok. If you can copy your silenced malygos or get another SI, heals. It can be useful but its value is quite variable.

It's about same as faceless, sometimes better, sometimes worse.

 

[Ketch]

that's a great card.

good with so many rogue cards already



so can you run bloodmage thalnos, xaril, raptors, tomb pillagers, vancleef, auctioneer, malygos, and this card?

azure drake would also be a great card to copy.

just set up for some sick ass combos..... and gang up? damn man. thistle tea might actually turn out okay if you can just fill your deck with combo cards and it doesn't matter what you draw then. end up with 10 1/1 vancleefs

 

[Apathy]

Oh and the fact you can run 2 of them is just beyond dumb.

 

[georly]

Emperor > Shadowcaster > 1 mana Emperor next turn.

Edit oops. Was thinking emperor cost 5.

Oh and the fact you can run 2 of them is just beyond dumb.

This basically gives mill rogue 4 shadowsteps, for all intents and purposes.

 

[Owzers]

This card seems like something i'm going to hate to play against.

 

[QFNS]

This doesn't interact with Raptor at all. Blizzard already mentioned Hearald Volzaj doesn't interact with Deathrattles that aren't printed on the card, so this very likely doesn't either. You would assume ganging up on it would give you the 1/1s, but who can say?

 

[Drkirby]

I know rogue has a few cards to make coins, but that's a 11 mana combo.
