Zombeasts? No one called that one.

*edit* HUNTER AOE, RUN FOR THE HILLS (okay it's one time only)

 

[dimb]

Why are they pretending like we've never been to Northrend? RIP Grand Tournament.

 

[Ashodin]

Stitch together two creatures hero power!

 

[Yaboosh]

Slow card for hunter?

Hah.


Another deathrattle set. Wild trembles.

 

[Blizzard]

Hunter AOE? More heals for everyone? Control decks everywhere, 30 minute games confirmed. ;_;

 

[Ashodin]

lifelink from magic the gathering calls, they want their mechanic back

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Guessing Lifesteal is how they give healing to Rogue.

 

[Ashodin]

All missions free, hard af too

 

[Officerrob]

3 cards and nothing else until the 24th? Ridiculous

 

[Emerson]

This whole "announce set and start spoilers 3 weeks later" model makes no more sense than it did last time.

 

[Yaboosh]

I don't love the massive gap between info dumps.

 

[Blizzard]

Bah, 3-week wait until they reveal anything else again. Saving gold is going to be so tough. I'm used to spending it as fast as possible.

 

[Beckx]

Oh, man, this is going to be good.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Yeah, waiting until the 24th is pretty rough. I guess that means it won't be coming out in early August.

 

[Yaboosh]

Yeah, waiting until the 24th is pretty rough. I guess that means it won't be coming out in early August.

Probably two weeks from the 24th.

 

[scarlet]

So, late August?

Edit:

Chillblade Champion + Steed

5/8 with charge, taunt and healing.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

This reveal schedule is so stupid also they barely showed anything!

 

[Pooya]

Just watch every class having lifesteal cards except rogue.

 

[Yaboosh]

A new charge minion is notable as well.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Preorder page says "mid August."

[Officerrob]

Why don't they release 2-3 cards every day after the announcement? They always dump 30-50 cards on facebook at the end, and I will never understand it

 

[Drkirby]

Eh, I don't know, so far I'm not that excited. They actually haven't revealed any new mechanics, they just took two existing ones and gave them a Keyword and a new card type thats basically a spell.

A gif of Brode here would be amazing

[wiibomb]

I thought Ungoro card reveal delay was bad... this delay is ridiculous... why????

I always thought they reveal this expansions about 1 month before release because they needed that preorder bonus, but this seems more like they are not going to release on the first week of august.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

I'm excited for Knights of the Frozen Throne. All missions are free too?

 

[Tunoku]

That Garruk Apex Predator card got me excited.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Here's the board.

And the pack art + card back.

 

[Blizzard]

Why they don't release 2-3 cards every day after the announcement? They always dump 30-50 cards on facebook at the end, and I will never understand it

I was just thinking 1-2 cards a day would be perfect instead of the massive dump I have to dig through.

 

[Crosseyes]

Welp time to save up some gold. Lifelink sounds great and they're going to be throwing legendaries at you this time around.

You already have one guaranteed in the first 10 packs with the new changes, now you get another guaranteed deathknight hero legendary from the solo content.

 

[scarlet]

Time to craft N'zoth?

 

[Yaboosh]

Already preordered.

Time to craft N'zoth?

Should've done that over a year ago.

 

[sibarraz]

Welp, another expensive expansion for those who want to test multiple classes

 

[Pooya]

Alt heroes become more than just undead with hero cards, they become somebody else.

 

[wiibomb]

[A Pretty Panda]

Glad I didn't dust Spiritsinger Umbra

 

[Yaboosh]

The hunter one seems fun for a class that isn't hunter.

 

[wiibomb]

The hunter one seems fun for a class that isn't hunter.

it's a kazakus card. seems pretty fun, but yeah, that card won't matter in hunter

 

[Tagyhag]

Players can take part in some of Knights of the Frozen Throne for free. The prologue, two wings with three bosses and a battle against the Lich King will all be available.

I wonder if that means that not all of it will be available for free.

Edit: Just watched the stream, all free!

 

[Blizzard]

Welp, another expensive expansion for those who want to test multiple classes

With Un'goro they did a brawl that let everyone try the different quest decks for free. That seems like natural thing they'll do a few weeks after release.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Vampire rager

3 mana 5-1 lifesteal

1600 from QR nerf.
1600 from dust.

I have my N'zoth and probably umbra.

 

[wiibomb]

Prince Keleseth for now seems a like a very bad legendary. turn 2 is one of the most important turn in the game, just imagine not playing anything there and getting this card in a turn 6...

 

[Karsticles]

All of the cards except for the Hero Card were crap. Where was the rune magic? I'm hype anyway, but weird reveal.

Zombeasts? No one called that one.

*edit* HUNTER AOE, RUN FOR THE HILLS (okay it's one time only)

So, presumably, one class will get Zombspells...and then I don't know.

Warrior gets Zombweapons?

Slow card for hunter?

Hah.


Another deathrattle set. Wild trembles.

It's a card that will allow Hunter to destroy most control decks. You're basically drawing 2 cards per turn and nearly doubling the amount of removal the opponent has to do. That's REALLY good.

lifelink from magic the gathering calls, they want their mechanic back

Literally every card game out there has lifelink, lol.

3 cards and nothing else until the 24th? Ridiculous

Frustrating.

Never judge until the full set is out. For all we know, there's a 1-mana minion that says "draw a 2-mana minion from your deck", and suddenly the combo is as consistent as PPP in Egg Druid.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

So, my hot take.

Deahstalker Rexxar - It's...okay. Incredibly slow card when you factor in the hero power so it's going to need more support if Hunter is going to slow down and be successful. This is nowhere close to Jaraxxus level so I'm honestly not sure how viable of a win condition it is. That said, if Hunter can find a way to stabilize and abuse that hero power then you could potentially come up with some really disgusting stuff.

Spirit Lash - Priest doesn't necessarily need this. I guess it's a decent tech card against some aggro decks and the amount of healing you could get with some spell power is pretty gross but Priest doesn't lack healing by any means.

Chillblade Champion - Not sure what use it has. Paladin doesn't seem like a class that desperately needs the Lifesteal and paying 4 mana for a 3/2 with Charge seems bad, especially at a mana cost that's already bloated for Paladin.

Shallow Gravedigger - It's nice that it replaces itself but 1 health is super bad. Seems like a worse Acolyte to me.

Prince Keleseth - Really cool/interesting card but I don't know what classes can realistically build a deck without 2 mana cards. Possibly Paladin if you don't want to run murlocs.

 

[Yaboosh]

It's a card that will allow Hunter to destroy most control decks. You're basically drawing 2 cards per turn and nearly doubling the amount of removal the opponent has to do. That's REALLY good

Hunter already traditionally performs well against control decks. Shoring up an already good matchup that actively hurts your bad matchups doesn't seem effective to me.

Still, a fun card. Might be frustrating as hell to play against. Stonetusk boar plus vicious fledgling/highmane.

Here you go;

Also made one ping pong for fun.

I'm too busy to be doing something like this right now.

 

[wiibomb]

I think this new hero card isn't a spell, so I highly doubt it will interact with counterspell or the likes.

Never judge until the full set is out. For all we know, there's a 1-mana minion that says "draw a 2-mana minion from your deck", and suddenly the combo is as consistent as PPP in Egg Druid.

yeah that's why I said "for now"

although, I must say, if there is said card you mention, this is still a bad card, because you need the mandatory 2 card combo in your starting hand to make the dream, or else you will suffer the rest of the game.

Linklink spells plus bloodbloom could get interesting
