And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Save'em. Doomhammers guaranteed getting nerfed.
It makes sense if Warlock got amazing high cost spell cards but they didn't...
They got Doom instead...
Warlock needs quite a few more cards like Siphon Soul or Shadowflame for Chogall to see play.
That card will just be more efficiently used by Zoolock instead.

That's basically what Power Overwhelming and Shadowflame are. If they had a third card that straight up removed a minion when you sacrificed a friendly minion, then it would have really strong synergy with Power Overwhelming since you could PO a 1/1, kill a minion, and then sacrifice a minion that is already marked for death anyway.
Not if its costed like 3 mana, but eh fine with me if its used by zoolock with peddler and gang boss gone
But my mass DE button ;_;

Its even tied to the turn he's played too. I could see it making more sense if you could bank the effect like Fencing Coach or whatnot.

LOL @ the day9 section. I loved how he tried playing so fast that he didn't even notice it til way after. What a huge fk up. I don't even care if people want to blame blizzard, because ultimately he didn't even take the second to check to ensure the right card being played.

It happened to kibler as well. https://youtu.be/sf8e2jXstOk?t=1124 And you can see it is a bug or some weird interaction there since Kibler is actually dragging swp
No way, brah. That card is the new Dr. 7. The Blizzcon Champion said so.
I hope they give brewmasters some healing effects. Like return a minion to your hand and heal its attack in health or something that does not return cards.I think we will be getting a pandaria adventure.
brewmasters everywhere
Chogall has an effect so powerful that they limited him so much that he is useless. I feel like it being the next spell you cast would have been so much more viable.
I have a normal Chogall but I'm holding on to him for the time being because I know these effects become broken extremely fast.

Of course it's a bug. But day9's was way funnier since he assumed it was a game winning move and then he got completely crushed by his misplay.

Holy shit, I am so glad people are letting me know that is a bug. That has happened SO many times to me in the last few months. So many goddamn games lost over a bug.

Well, it certainly looks like a bug. Just don't be like day9, acting like this is a game you get extra points for from speed plays.

oh yea it was hilarious when it happened to day9. And then he made a video of him watching him losing.
The new Dr. 7 is clearly the old Dr. 6, and the new Dr. 6 is Dr. 4 (Overload 2).

I watched the Kibler video a good 5 times, and it's definitely a bug. I've been going slower and double-checking myself because I thought I was screwing up anyway. Now I know I have to be slow.
I really want a major Hearthstone tournament to feature this bug in a crushing way.

Does anyone have any idea what the ending clip is when Rag shot a minion in the other guy's deck? Only thing I can think of would be Entomb or Recycle.

Comments said it was a spectate bug. A minion was on the board that the Rag hit, but the spectator which capped the footage couldn't see it.

Are all of you guys that have experienced that day9 bug playing on pc?
It's never happened to me but I generally play on tablet or my phone.

Has anyone tried that Questing Adventurer Miracle Rogue deck?
I'm at 1200 dust, so my decision on my next legendary is coming up soon. I crafted Bloodmage Thalnos previously because he was the next step in making Miracle Rogue, but he's also the last piece for my Freeze Mage deck (and I am glad I crafted him, because he is wonderful).
But now Miracle Rogue is becoming weaker and weaker in this meta, so I'm not sure if I should finish crafting Edwin. I am thinking about crafting Dr. Boom instead for continuing to play Wild, and then I can work toward either N'Zoth Priest or Secret Paladin for Wild ladder climbing ease.
Thoughts?

I've seen dog play and it's funny but most likely gets owned by aggro. If you're just gonna play wild then yea get boom

Ah, missed that. Thanks for the clarification. Interesting stuff.

I think it's really good. You can take out big minions like Highmanes and Sylvannas without taking damage, and at that point in the game Hunters have to be careful of being bursted by other classes.
Also, you can go double face with it for 10 damage. :-D

Dr Boom continues to be fantastic. It seems even moreso since the expansion came out and the standard and wild separation.
I love Edwin in wild, but I'm struggling with him in standard.
I've wanted to craft Bloodmage Thalnos for so long, maybe it's finally time to do so, but I still want Malygos.
I do have enough for two legendaries though. But damn there's quite a few I want and some epics I still want. Faceless Manipulator being one of them.

Thanks for the info!
In at least 150 packs, I haven't gotten one Preparation or Arcane Blast.
Ultra-greedy Control Reno Hunter decks play it.
Play Wild. Ez Wins, Ez life.

play low ranked w/ priest. now those are ez games. Best is playing control mirrors where the other guy draws like 8 cards throughout the match for no reason

I'd love to play Cho'gall in wild for a classic handlock deck where it makes some sense when you double up your best spells and want to get to a lower health quickly.
Too bad they had to nerf it instead of just making all or parts of the classic set rotate out of standard. Also too bad they can't actually balance nerfed cards instead of outright destroying them.

I don't think I could ever play a full-blown Control Priest just for this reason. I love drawing cards. Even when I'm in Warrior mirrors, I think "Okay, I'll just use Battle Rage to draw these 5 cards and overwhelm him". I'm always wrong and die to fatigue, but that doesn't stop me from making the mistake again!
If you are playing Tempo Warrior vs other Warriors then it's fine to draw cards because you will play out your hand fast and overwhelm them/finish the game before fatigue is a factor. If fatigue was a factor when you were playing Tempo Warrior then you got out controlled.
In control match ups that aren't based around Handlock, the person who needs to draw the least wins. When Handlock is in the equation, it just becomes a matter of Jaraxxus.
I say "need" because even in control matches you have to present threats just to see what they have. While it's rare, sometimes in a control match up the other person ends up having a brick hand and your big monsters ends up getting too much value that it gains them incremental advantage in the final stage of the game.

eh the only win condition vs control warrior as tempo is good battle rage, and use the card for quick brawl and recharge again
