Hearthstone |OT8| Elise's Extremely Irresponsible Field Trip To Un'Goro

King Mukla is a 3 mana 5/5 and I think the demon is probably worse.
Probably the one I find most interesting so far.
I rated 1... I see it as a second fel reaver, borderline unplayable, the opponent might even take advantage and not throw anything just to make card advantage if necessary

bananas are more value for the opponent than life is for you.
The problem is, that you can't kill it that easily.
More importantly, Unlicensed Apothecary was very strong anti synerdy with many card you play in zoo.
Maybe it works better in reno, but even that doesn't sound great.
your turn 3/4 opponent isn't going to make it that easy. you have to be really confident on your aggressive game plan to drop this card IMO.
and even then you can't followup with multiple minions, you can't play a imp gang boss, you can't summon multiple dudes or you will lethal yourself
Pantry Spider is surprisingly powerful in Evolve decks. Turn 4, Summon two random 4-cost minions. The bodies can also trade decently, especially if you run Flametongue Totem.
Otherwise, I am excited to play Evolve Shaman. Fire Elemental and Brann are also good fits. The archetype has anti-synergy with Overload though and I don't think Bloodlust works well with it. I would play Second-rate Bruiser , insted of Fel Orc Soulfiend.
Unlicensed Apocathery is a powerful card, it reminds me of Fel Reaver where it's really powerful for its cost but could lose you the game if you don't use it right. I would say UA is better than Fel Reaver though. Being able to value trade stuff like Totem Golem which would otherwise two for one most Warlock early drops is a huge deal.
Also filling out that survey made me realise that Blizzard probably wants people to curve out the Rogue Legendary into the Stealth Buffer.

Here is a spreadsheet with all the voting data. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qznrQld02E0R9VZeogCeY_kejaoGd3WCffy9ga_6kqU/edit?usp=sharing
First sheet is the raw values in a pretty unreadable format. I tried to make it a bit more readable in the second sheet*. Then the third sheet takes the average score of each card and ranks it from highest to lowest.
*I have to transfer the raw data over to this sheet by hand, so it may be missing some users from the first sheet until I can manually update it again.

With Fel Reaver your opponent dictates the pace and has access to much more powerful stuff already at 3 mana apothecary can come out as early as turn 2 with the coin but it doesn't have to, you can just run 1 of them with the intent of using her to trade with tfbs and such
Goldfishing you can tap and demonfire the next turn

Apothecary seems like a better defensive play than an offensive one. It's terrible in a face race, but if you're confident you'll only tap or play spells the next two turns it's not as bad. Still not sure that makes the cut in any deck except for some gimmicky Demon one. May as well play second-rate bruiser if you want to 2-1 an aggressive early game board which you also are probably not doing.

The game is patched now so sites will probably post them soon if they haven't already.
I did. 0 mana spells are busted in Mage. It's a free Fireball with Archmage or extra missiles from Flamewaker, as well as being an Ice Lance or Shatter activator.
Data mining found us info on a free pack promotion for MSG:

Freezing potion is even playable on freeze mage
I'm not entirely sure it is still good, it can also feed yogg, but I don't see the real impact it would have by itself to include it in a deck at the expense of any other useful card.
also, YES! free packs is just the last bit of good news I needed for this expansion.
EDIT:
wat
The newly added deck recipes looks good on paper at least, but will definitely try out the Hunter deck. Wonder which one of these will get refined and be meta defining. From what I noticed, several popular decks from the release of Old Gods were based on the recipes which was continually improved by the community.
I think it can be rushed down however druid has lots of tools to build to big jade golems and survive. Not to mention lots of soft Taunts most rushes cannot ignore.
Heathpwn is thinking those are place holders for future quests. Sounds like there are going to be new rewards in future for destroying x minions or reaching Legend x times. (Similar to the "win 500 games" or "get all classes to level 10" hidden quests we have now).
Curious if they'll be retroactive if so.

If there were free packs, we'd probably know by now.

It was datamined from the patch and specifically refers to this expansion. No reason to question it.
Giving away free stuff to incentivize more purchases ("Hey, I need more Jade Golem cards to go with this one I got!") and more first time players is f2p 101.
These quests are assuredly real.
The quests got patched into the game today. No reason to think they won't activate them on Thursday along with the release.
Everyone make sure you have a free quest slot open on Thursday so you can do these quests asap!

I just think they would have announced it, not that it is unreasonable for them to do or anything.

Time to build a dragon rogue deck. Imagine getting deathwing off thistle tea, then getting 2 12/12s off the deathrattle... that's is what I am aiming for.

It's almost December and I'd like to get the Winterveil emote back, please Blizzard.
Classic pack or possibly a card back.

I broke bnet, 2-2 with it though lol
I lost to a tempo mage who got leeroy off of firelands portal. Later he got fire lance off babbling book to remove my big dragon (the 8 drop, can't remember the name, copies cards you draw). And then his ragnaros even sniped my face instead of hitting deathwing... RNG stone punishing fun decks.

dumb question: are any sets being cycled out with this expansion?
Mobius and pet octopus
Member
No. Set rotation will occur first expansion next year, probably around april/may.
reminds me of the tragedy that befall Amnesiac (Will) during blizzcon when Pavel kept getting lucky like that. Saw a clip the other day where firelands portal screwed him again and he got up and stop playing screaming hes still got PTSD from Pavel.
Anyways thats in the past now but your story reminded me of that shocking comeback
