Looks good, nozhod priest about to get even more annoying.
Yeah, I wonder if they moved up the official reveal a couple weeks, just to get some positive buzz in the community again.
Adapt is a cool mechanic. It's like they've expanded discover to do stuff other than draw cards. In my head, I had always theorycrafted a similar type of mechanic for Shaman where you got 4 consistent choices, one for each totem, but this is good too.
Amara is some Exodia-level win-the-game levels of shit, but man, you have to have a legendary in your opening hand and then play a Priest game where you can actually survive long enough to play 7 deathrattle duders?
Any aggro deck is just going to wreck you before that happens. What kind of Priest deck can actually live playing a bunch of deathrattles? Unless they introduce some more deathrattle taunts....
I mean you can kind of think of it as a 2/2 draw a card. I'd say it's probably about as good as Undercity Huckster. Unclear if this is a thing Mage wants to do, though. Just curving out with value stuff.

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?
wait so the priest legendary that you get after the quest... does it go to your hand? And does it HEAL you up to 40 as well?
Also, will every class get their own quest card?

They start in your opening hand

So for the cards revealed so far;
Pyros - Only going to be decent in long, grindy games where you can guarantee the value from it. Will require the meta to slow down a lot for it to be playable.
Awaken the Makers - Seems insane. It starts in your opening hand and N'Zoth Priest is already a decent deck which is likely to come back in a big way due to this. Loss of Sylvanas does hurt a little though.
Volcano - Seems really good as a replacement for Elemental Destruction and is potentially even stronger just because it can deal with high health targets better.
Verdant Longneck - Seems kind of nuts? All the adaptations are at least decent with the worst outcome being a Booty Bay Bodyguard with a beast tag although they've only shown 6 of the 10 adaptations.

Yes to all. It says "set" your HP to 40 so it's like a super Reno effect.
Thing is that it's not really a win condition against other control decks. You are still going to get that work against Control Warlock decks (if that's still a thing).
And against aggros the game is going to be decided before you play 7 Deathrattles in most cases but if you survive long enough to play 7 Deathrattles then you auto win against Aggro. It's like a clock against aggro.

Volcano is like a worse Elemental Destruction imo
Prediction: Quests are going to be absolutely fucking nothing and won't see high-tier play
I'm guessing only non-Secret classes will get Quest cards, given the way they've chosen to display an active Quest.
oh wow so quests are just added to your opening hand? hunh
So.... N'zoth Priest hunh? play a bunch of deathrattles hold onto the board, swing your health back, swing the boardstate.
Volcano looks pretty good. individual damage helps with things like divine shield and it deals with a wider array of board states up to 15hp
as far as adaptation goes.... I'm just glad brann won't be in standard anymore.

ohhh no...
more legendary cards... hope they just don't add more than the normal 20 legendaries, because these legendary spells could become my bane of HS.
other than that, I like what I'm seeing, the quest thing seems very directed to make specific archetypes a thing, like, they are trying to hard forcing them

Super RNG Shaman card, super RNG adapt (3/10) keyword. I'm not sure how to feel about this.
The worst part is having another month to wait though. D:

Are you still sure it's 200% fake?
Well I guess now we know why Sylvanas was taken out and what "build around Deathrattle" stuff they had planned.
Cairne is back again boys! Also no more Museum Curator for Priest, they need more Deathrattle options.
Mistress of Mixtures, Shifting Shade, Loot Hoarder, Twilight Summon, Cairne... kinda need more Deathrattles than that.

Fake as in a card you play in your deck, not fake as in a token you get from some other card which this is. So I am still right in that this is not a collectible card you put in your deck.Are you still sure it's 200% fake?
On the other hand, they tell your opponent exactly what you're trying to do that game (from turn one if you don't try to be sneaky and just play it straightaway).

to be honest they were right on the money, this card was part of a bigger deal, not a stand alone card, it makes a lot of sense now.
I doubt they'd print that as the class Legendary without supporting cards.
Right. Think of it as a mix of Patches and White Eyes. The quest reward is placed in your hand once you satisfy the condition.
The quest spell is the collectable card.
Well, the post you were replying to said, "Apparently you get it through a new quest mechanic in-game. I called this months ago."
So, it wasn't being suggested it was collectible.
You say that, but remember Flame Leviathan?
That was what, seven sets ago?

That's why I had the "Unless it's a White Eyes type" qualifier in there!
With how she said "ambitious", I'm pretty sure she doesn't care about the welfare of those children.

I wonder if they will ever change or add to the Adapt pool or make cards that Adapt from a different pool of abilities. Because right now it seems like all dinos.
Yo, Dahbomb. Get your hands off your junk, brah. We haven't seen the rest of the cards yet.
Also the quest is 1 mana so you can't play Zombie Chow on your opening turn unless you have the coin.
wait... more info until march 17??? why? why not just wait about it until, I don't know, march 10 at least? Hope they have a reason.
In my country this is kind of trivial with the things we go through (LOL)

They only appear visually in the same place Secrets do, they don't act like Secrets. So no.
They aren't secrets so I seriously doubt it.
I doubt their bold new mechanic is going to get hard countered by Eater of Secrets lol!

I'd hazard a guess that each class is going to get a legendary minion as well as a legendary quest spell? Maybe?
At least the non-secret classes, since it's competing UI space.
If it's a Deathrattle quest, it seems obvious that N'Zoth is the win condition.
Although N'Zoth may be worse on average due to needing to play lots of lower powered deathrattles to hit the 7. Like, you might rez 2 Mistress of Mixtures instead of a Sylvannas or something.
