WotOG was the best meta by far since standard has been a thing.

Hearthstone |OT9| Our raid wiped in Icecrown Citadel

- Start date
Already? People had gotten bored, quit playing, and I think about 3 expansions a year were planned. If anything it's a bit late as far as I know.
I don't know, shaman got really stupid there

Only towards the end of it and Karazhan making it even worse. I easily beat a 4 mana 7/7 today, almost appeared puny.

I've been matched up to a jade aggro druid multiple times already is that one new? Basically forwent the beast synergy from aggro druid and the lategame from jade druid for a hybrid. Still with living mana and hydra.
Wild Pyromancer is insane right now, great AoE when you use Earthen Scales on him.

It's on the same schedule every year so far. April, August, December. The only change this time is no more adventures!
Frozen Throne fuck yeah!
everyone looks undead lol.
Fuck this looks SO good. I love that HS can have fun with what-if scenarios like this. Time for evil versions of heroes to appear as cards at last! Undead Malfurion will be mine.
Man they have accelerated the release of the expansions... not that I'm complaining.
Modifiers to classes or just cosmetic changes?
They've generally stuck to about 4 months in-between expansions/adventures. This looks to follow that rule as Un'Goro was released exactly 3 months ago (April 6) and the new expansion will probably release in about 3-4 weeks.
Time flies!
People jump to conclusions and let hype blind them. HS is probably still played 2020 while nobody will remember those games by then.

I would love to play as a Death Knight class (gotta be Arthas) but this seems to be something different with everyone being undead, I'll be curious to see what the deal is with this expansion!

Hope we get to see some new ridiculous cards tonight!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict cards that have different effects depending on your hero's form, and part of the strategy will involve timing your mode change(s). Something like:
I saw one of those other games had an "Evolved" form of cards, so I guess this would be similar? Then again if that's a bad mechanic, hopefully Hearthstone will have a different version.
Code:
Tundra Hound
2 mana, 2/3 minion
Frostform: Has chargeI saw one of those other games had an "Evolved" form of cards, so I guess this would be similar? Then again if that's a bad mechanic, hopefully Hearthstone will have a different version.

Gwent is still in beta. Eternal had terrible balance last I checked - Warcry is ridiculous.
I stopped playing Duelyst back in February, but I played it for almost a whole year. There's nothing "quick" about the process. I talked with the dev team at length about the game's issues. It also had nothing to do with Hearthstone. I never got into Shadowverse. I made an S tier deck on day 1, played it for a while, and moved on. I've played and tried every card game on Steam, so that's not saying much.
I'm a fan of Undead Gambit.
Here's the full animated banner for that leak

There are four heros on the right, who is the small one in the background? (I recognize Shaman, Rogue, and Priest)
By process of elimination it almost has to be Paladin)

Undead and demons are my thing, so I'm excited for this.
Valeera looks so thick I thought it was a new hero.

Yeah, at a quick glance I thought it was Sylvanas but then I remembered that Blizzard gave her pants.
I'm really curious as to what this all means though. Could just be alternative hero skins that everyone can use, a new game mode, or even a new hero. It could even be nothing!!
Maybe it'll be a serious look into the graveyard of Hearthstone. I know there a few cards that do that but they were never too substantial.

It's hard to say. Have other expansions used their banner art in game before? A quick look at the site shows this, which I don't think is ever shown fully in game.
Also, some quick googling has revealed that the title might be, "Knights of Frozen Throne." That sounds pretty character specific to me.
this one is pretty special, they don't depict just some random creatures, they specifically depict only the 9 heroes in that special state.
I think they will be bosses of the adventure mode, not new hero portraits (9 class portraits is just too much to give at once)
that makes it much clearer, thanks.
yes this is cool af.

I thought they were axing adventures and only doing card only expansions from now on?
They are going to be expansions with some single player content. We don't know what that will look like exactly.
Professor Lich

Ah, alright. I thought all single player stuff was getting taken out, cool to know that there'll be a little something then.

Turn 2 Patrons in Brawl I lose after never going above 2 Patrons from Rag just getting hit in the face over and over. Opp turn 5s Patrons gets 7...
Thanks, I know nothing about WoW. I'll save this for future reference.
Always a glut of priests at certain ranks. Later in season it is at rank 20-18...just a constant stream of them, then rare after that.
Oh sorry, it wasn't spcified to you, but rather, to this sentiment were in the middle of wotg-msog when a great ton of ccg released, people praised them on the first day and how hearthstone was on the verge of dissapearing.
Not quite the same. In Shadowverse, both players start off with a set number of evolve points (2 if you go first and 3 if you go second), and you can use them to evolve any minion in the game, once evolving unlocks a few turns into the match. In all cases, the minions will get Charged Devilsaur's card text, and then some bonus effects. In most cases, it's just +2/+2, but some cards get +1/+1 and exclusive evolution effects instead. One of the more common ones when I played summoned a 2/2 and a 1/1, but now that I'm looking at the new cards, one adds a 0-mana 2/2 to your hand. That minion's battlecry then draws two random minions costing 2 or less mana.
Mind, I only played Shadowverse for a little bit after it came out, but I really liked the mechanic and thought it was a good solution for the minion-vs-minion dynamic that Blizzard's been trying to encourage.

Evolve is a bad mechanic. It just leads to more face burst in most decks. It isn't very interactive, either, since you can't play around you opponent's entire deck being boosted.
I don't think it's a good trend to try and expect or argue for cards to get "Hall of Fame"d each expansion. It's better to learn and adjust. For example, Gluttonous Ooze is a fantastic anti-meta card right now, and it helps against Tirion as well. About half of my decks run that card right now, and I have never regretted it.
People are obsessed with games dying, and I don't know why. I would love for the games I don't care for to be successful. Something in (American?) culture has led to people wanting to see things fail or die. A strange kine of pleasure at something else not doing well.
Getting rid of a class legendary would be a huge deal. It means Paladins would always be at -1 for options. I don't think that is a good idea, even though Tirion has pissed me off in the past. Well, it's really when I have to kill 2-3 of them that I get irate. Removing taunt from him so you can't discover multiples would be great. He would still be a very good card, but not OP.

Tirion without Taunt would be bad. Can't even kill him efficiently to get Ashbringer that way.

So what class gets frostmorune?
Warrior
Or will it be a death rattle for arthras?
Warrior

No its not.. I play Shadowverse very frequently and the amount of burst that evolve mechanic does to face its very insignificant its just tool to encourage board interaction in mid game
The amount of evolve is limited and with most of it gonna allocated for board control.. if you can use evolve to burst face you already ahead.
