On stream? No. We got it from IGN, youtube, etc.
I was just wondering if we should expect new cards over the weekend from any source. I guess we probably should.
Probably. But they will reveal all cards next Friday.
I distinctly remeber raza being revealed on a weeked day.
I just can't remember if it was friday or saturday.
Unleash is 3 mana.
I meant 1 mana cost spells should count too, like hunter mark, on the hunt, arcane shot.

I did it! I reached legend rank for the first time!
My patience with Priest has paid off.
Grats!

Rogue gets another excellent tempo/removal/control card.
Paladin gets another slow/shitty/unplayable buff card.
Yup. It's Hearthstone.
Still don't get the hate for this card. It can make a 10/10 charger easy.

Paladin can't keep a board in standard. Unless that changes with ungoro this card does nothing.
Man, with the recent talk about the newly revealed cards and meta predictions, is Ladder and Tournament viability the only measure to say that a class/deck is good? I know people joke about how certain classes are "dead" but they are far from unplayable that people seem to throw around. I'm actually doing fine with a lot of the decks that I'm playing even when playing against the top meta decks. But then again, this is coming from someone who has no interest in climbing the ladder and I'm doing completely fine with the supposed low tier garbage deck that is listed everywhere.
thought you talking about Tarim

Paladin salt towards rogue cards? Unimaginable!
As someone who plays both sides, rogue has gotten tons of mediocre cards, way worse than dinosize. That card btw, it's not unplayable. It might not be good enough. We'll see. But it at least serves some clear purpose.

10 mana 2 card combination. For 8 charging damage that leaves an 8/8 is decent but it's really shit against taunts obv. Might be worth exploring but I'd wager right now it'd still require a deck that can stay in contention for the board.The card art is a hint.
Normally I'd agree with you. I used to climb rather easily with all of the off meta decks. I've even made it as high as rank 3 with Shaman when it was the worst class in the game. Whenever people would call certain decks "garbage" I would happily climb with them and complete quests. However I don't feel the same these days past rank 15 or so.
This meta makes it a lot harder to climb with off meta deck due to Pirate Warrior, Reno decks, Jades and Dragon Priest. All of these decks are the most refined versions of their respective archetype and Jade Druid crushes any random control deck you can imagine while Pirate Warrior punishes bad draws, slow starts or any deck not tuned to beat aggro.
You can get him off Finja.

fr0zen hell yeah. How many packs do I get for now?

Nice. I chose fr0zen. Didn't know there were others here.
Stonetusk Boar is a worse card on its own and doesn't have tribal synergy that can work with Finja.

Why is paladin running finja after anyfin rotates? At best in an aggro deck I would imagine.
And dinosize would not be in an paladin aggro deck.

Yeah I can't see much interest in Murlocs in Paladin without Anyfin being in the Standard pool. Obviously the deck will continue to be great in Wild, but without that huge burst combo, Dinosizing and using Finja isn't really a good substitute unless we see more in the set. We'll see. Hydrologist shows they are still giving murlocs to Paladin so maybe they'll get more support.

In the series against Neiria he had almost the same but 2 additional cold bloods.

Set means it overrides the current stats entirely. Anything hit by dinosize, including enemy minions, would be made a 10/10 regardless of stats before it.
Technically dinosize works against

Welp Palmblad did get pretty unlucky and I chose randomly.
I can understand people not liking the balance of the sets, but I'm surprised you're upset at their conceptual design.
They do still contain significant new mechanics that see play, especially Gadgetzan.

Yeah, but Warleader is an aura effect so it wouldn't override it. Your Bluegill would become a 10/10 and then Warleader's aura would apply making it a 12/11. At least, that is what I'm assuming will happen but I could be wrong.
You are correct. Same thing happens with Keeper of Uldaman.

I didn't realize your question entirely. You're right.
edit:
Seems like a win more situation though. If you're able to spend 8 mana on a turn after finja summons both warleader and bluegill, then there might be more flexible cards with similar impact in those situations - like blessing of kings and might.

I hate how aura effects work. When there's a 1 health murloc on the board with warleader it should die when warleader leaves the board.
