Yes, in the class challenge I played Anton and received 3 fireballs from spells. I played peddler the following turn once he killed Anton but the fireballs were still 4 mana.

The way you evaluate divine shield is that it is better than 2HP but not as good as 3HP. When you look at the average results of how much benefit you get from divine shield that's usually what you end up seeing. So argent squire is halfway between a 1/3 and a 1/4.
I played Nzoth Renolock and had a bunch of cards from Wild like Belcher, Dark Bomb, Healbot and Kelthuzad. Got all the board clears. I save my stuff, build up a taunt wall plus a bunch of deathrattles... then when he wipes the board I play Nzoth.
Once you have stabilized with Reno Jackson against the Orc, you just develop your hand and board with Deathrattles so when he does the Twisting Nether into hero power you are prepared. Don't kill her too early, just build up the wall and she can't do much. Without Reno Jackson she will easily kill you though.
Lots of people thought it was meta-defining in the run up. They'll discover the truth soon enough.
I did it with Reincarnate Shaman. Kel'thuzad, Reincarnate, Ancestral Spirit and the rest of the deck filled with on curve taunts. Play the taunts early to survive until you get KT. Then Reincarnate him so you have 2 KTs. Then just build a wall of taunts and don't kill the Orc until you have an Ancestral Spirit on one of your KTs. Once you have that, Twisting Nether does nothing. Then you can just go face against Malchezaar with your KTs basically making your board invincible.
I used a mage deck with kt/antonidas and counterspells
took a few tries to get the board setup I wanted going into the second match but if you can get antonidas or kt up with a counterspell you're in pretty good shape
i actually drew kt my first turn the game I won to go with the antonidas I had set up already,made for a hilariously easy game

Well, that was awkward.

That's pretty off then, hopefully it gets changed because I would guess that those are technically supposed to be 'Mage,' spells.

Finally beat Heroic Netherspite using Mage with spells and minions to keep him almost perma frozen.
was really easy with a priest deck with a lot of taunts
got a shieldbearer up on the right on turn 2 and it was just game over from there
Peddler rouge is amazingly fun, but probably not competitive. I feel like I'm always drowning in options (some pretty bad).
Two times so far though, Void Crusher has won me the game against folks who don't really understand how it works. Had one guy charge with a doomguard into my face, not realizing I could basically kill it for free the next turn (Void Crusher was already out).

Ramp druid feels solid. Updated my list from last week, shame that I cut ysera though.

Hah TIL there's an attack chain in Hearthstone.
Misdirection changed the target of the attack from my face to faerie dragon then explosive trap proced and killed the faerie dragon and the doomguard attacked my face instead of a 3/0 faerie or just ended his attack.

Wish I were that lucky to witness that miracle. This is a true triumph of mathematics when you think about it lol. makes me wanna craft Yashraj but I already blew my dust on two other legendaries I wanted to run
Then again I think someone did it too me last night. I dont think its BS that dude got crazy lucky no doubt
Amaz crafted him Gold. But then again all his cards are gold. I bet Amaz poop is golden too....
Millhouse only exist in the game to let us know that blizzard can fuck out pack openings every time... never feel safe about that gold glimmer until you see it isn't millhouse

a millhouse is still 400 dust. I'd be happy opening one right now. Best thing I pulled the last 15 packs was a brawl.
of course.. and still worse than opening anything different.
millhouse is pure dust material, just that

That's what 90% of players think when they lose anyway tho
well normally they split it between "i was so unlucky" and "that guy has bullshit cards, blizzard pls nerf"

I've already seen it 3-4 times and it only belonged in maybe 1-2 of those decks... maybe.
The funniest one was zoolock, with heavy discard mechanics. It did nothing but clog up their hand as they discarded twin emps and malch itself. It wasn't the dumbest thing though, because he had the imp out... but I'd imagine he'd be in a better spot with more useful cards.

I don't get the card even in a fatigue deck I'd add elise to the deck before malchezar. I guess once she rotates he might see play if control is a thing then.
The card is a trap for Timmy style players who just want to see cool/big minions. I can't see it being good for anything unless the number of released legendaries with great stats and no downside rises significantly. And at most mana levels also. The game just has too many bad legendary cards to play with him probably ever.
Um, is Heroic Netherspite the most horribly broken encounter they've ever done?
You basically have to play taunt minions so that you don't die in three turns, but you stick a single taunt dude in the blue beam and he derps until you kill him. The fuck?

i doubt it belonged in any of those decks.

If the meta shifts completely to control and games go to fatigue you'll be happy about the 5 cards extra.
That will never happen though.

Damn, and I thought ivory knight was a good card...
Possibly the control paladin. I'm pretty sure he got a deathwing off it and it won him the game coincidentally.
Lol, sorry to hear but thanks for the laugh.

If I were a new player I'd be beside myself to use Prince Mal. You can use ALL the legendaries! Without having any legendaries! The dream.

9-1 with my current ramp druid deck. I probably should be 10-0 too but for a mistake I made.

Just got home and ran through the normal version of the last wing.
Which cards are showing promise so far?

So anyone play with the new dragon cards? Threw together a dragon priest but havent really tested it out yet.

Saw someone use the netherspite historian. It seemed to be fairly inconsequential tbh. But I'm not even sure what it drew him.
If deathwing reliably wins games for you and isn't a liability in matchups take out prince malchezaar and put deathwing in.
I've put those new cards in a randomly made Dragon Pally deck. Book Wyrm is great. Big body and a Shadow Word: Pain in one. Can also combine it with Aldor, since Paladin has trouble removing single target stuff. Netherspirit Historian is fine with only 1 in the deck I think. A 1/3 body doesn't really do much, but getting an extra Dragon card out of it gives some flexibility. Had soms good ones out of discover, like Book Wyrm, Dragon Consort and Chillmaw.
Still, I need to find a way to get a better early game. Paladin's 1 and 2 drops are all terrible and usually u don't play Aldor on curve either. Wish those good early Dragon cards weren't all class based...

Sure, but I think malch has it's own upside that just including deathwing doesn't necessarily cover.
I don't see Malchazaar being good in stuff outside of fatigue decks like the Fat Warrior deck. Right now the game isn't in a state where that stuff is possible but who knows down the line it might be.
For the record in that type of deck you run both Elise and Malchazaar so it's not like one is competing over the other. When going for maximum greed you go all the way.
So really my initial impression hasn't changed much at all.

Disagree Elise is enough for fatigue warrior if it were a thing right now. Malchezar dilutes your draws too early and makes a later impact as a minion played, which is worse in either case.
