The stream date was announced last week. He's just trying to hype it. Can't wait for his reaction to Purify 2.0
Oh, I didn't know! Thank you for the countdown!

Oh, I didn't know! Thank you for the countdown!
I'm not in love with any of the cards revealed so far, and yet I'm still feeling intense hype over the reveal stream an hour from now.
I also bought $120 in battlenet currency cards (did it that way for the credit card points) and I'm itching to open some packs.
Let's get this new meta started!

I think a lot of us are hoping that MSG brings a new and interesting meta. In my opinion, if Shaman was toned down a bit, then this meta wouldn't be all that bad.
On the one hand, the strength of Shaman has slowed down the meta enough that Malygos-based decks are viable on the ladder. On the other hand, if your deck isn't good enough to beat Shaman, it isn't worth playing.
This is the meta I've had the best results in, as it is an advantage to not only know the match-up you're going to be facing most often, but to play against it so often that you get a strong feel for what they are going to play each turn. It's also the meta I've had the least fun in, as I spent the whole season playing decks I don't care for.
Looking forward to the meta shake-up if only for the fact that stuff like Reno Mage is probably going to be really strong at least until the meta starts settling down.
I wanted to add:
I don't think Shaman needs to be nerfed, per se, although it wouldn't be bad for the game. I would rather that there were other classes and decks that could have a 60%+ match up vs. Mid-range Shaman so that it could be kept in check.
Part of my hope for MSG is for the power level of other classes vs. Shaman to be high enough that, if Shaman is still Tier 1, then you can counter it with a deck that is fun to play against the rest of the field. If we can get back to a metagame with 5 or 6 Tier 1 decks, then it should be more fun.
Some of my best time grinding the ladder was running a homebrew Dragon Paladin deck that did really well vs. everything but shaman. Unfortunately as Shaman became more powerful, my Dragon Paladin, became weaker because many of the things that counter shaman - board clears and weapon removal- are things that did really well vs. my deck.

Twitch. Usually the hearthstone account. It will almost certainly be the number one stream when it starts.

Warlock legendary will be something like:
If no copies,you take no damage from your hero power or cards. So no damage from things like imp or hellfire

Soooooo this?
Or more along the priest: "Reno immune your turn rest of the game" because if so that's freaking broken, especially with the potion and hellfire and the abyssal.

No because I think you should still die to fatigue.
That would be nice considering that new Abyssal card.

They're live now.
That card should have been a Rogue card.

Warrior legendary is pretty ridiculous. Makes some weapons, like Brass Knuckles, actually playable.

I'm sure the new weapons will be great

Rogue barely runs enough weapons for it to be worth it though.
The Grimy Goons deck is midrange, which probably counters Reno Priest pretty hard, even if it is unoptimized.
