I don't think that's really true. In fact I think the priest is favored in that solely because of how powerful potion of madness is against you. If they land it on grandmother or rat pack the game is over. And often enough just the threat of it is enough to slow you down enough so they can take control. You really cannot afford to play into it, but sometimes you don't really have any other options.

A card literally changing art/name from when you put it in your deck at the collection screen to when you actually draw it in game could be pretty confusing. I mean, I wouldn't be confused, but people who play this game casually might find it confusing. And they'd have to introduce custom code to allow this to happen. All this just for cosmetics?
Although it would be cool, I can see why they decided against it.

Can you buy the pre-order bundle more than once or is it one per customer?
each account can preorder only once in each region.
I picked RDU as well. I want Muzzy to win, but I just had a feeling that RDU is about to have a hot streak. This kid wants to be a champion so bad and is just coming back into relevance again.
you really want a solid 1-2-3 if you can (or alternatively if you've got two decent early openers plus Houndmaster, that can be powerful with coin). Alley Cat followed by Hyena or Crackling is a strong opening. Made a priest quit this morning.
in the end it's just like any game with hunter, you'll be out of gas by late game so get that damage early to get them in range of your hunter power. Kill Command is strong.
Hallazeal is specific to spells, so I don't think he'll get it. But Mistress of Pain and Wickerflame Burnbristle should probably get it.
They could change Hallazeal's text to "Spells you cast gain

BTW, don't know if anyone has seen gameplay of the cards revealed, but here is some gameplay not shown from yesterday's presentation:

Originally I wasn't hyped at all about this new hero cards, but each time I think more of them, I like them more and more. I know this hunter legendary might not be any good, but still adds a new flavor to the whole game.

Claiming that "Deathstalker Rexxar" would confuse Alleria players is ridiculous. There's a simple solution for that problem: just make the card name "Deathstalker Form", or something similar. Tadah! Now no one is confused, and Blizzard can not half-ass this new feature by changing my Tyrande into Anduin.
This seriously ruins every alternate hero as a feature if someone plans to use these cards.
Edit: Oh shit, the Deathknight Rogue card was "leaked":

Is it half-assing it to change your hero or is it half assing it to not create death knight art and emotes for every single alternate hero from now until the end of Hearthstone?

Is anyone else having connection issues recently? I've had about 5 games in the last few days where I've lost due to a disconnect. It's annoying as I was just winning the last one.

We're talking about a game that makes buttloads of money. They can afford to draw a few more pictures and record some one-liners.
Do we actually know that the new Deathknights have all-new emotes?
1) There is a 0% chance of that happening.
2) Do you really want to have to craft legendary cards for all of the alternate heroes? lol
Yes, they do. Wiibomb posted a video of one of Rexxar's new emotes upthread.
I dunno man, Hearthstone is gonna be around a long time, why would they want to eliminate that possibility for themselves? And as far as the crafting, there's gonna be roughly the same amount of legendaries in each set, what does it matter if it's a quest or a hero or a minion? I'm gonna want it regardless if it's a good card.
I don't understand the criticism at all either.
If I use the hero card, I'm substituting my hero for the hero on that card, is it that difficult to understand?
no, it isn't turning them into death knight, nor shadowform version, nor any version, it is placing the hero on the card above your hero.
since when did executus confused any player?

Just because Hearthstone makes a lot of money doesn't mean that the team should be working with unlimited funds. They have a set production pipeline in place and maintaining that pipeline means not creating unnecessary future commitments. Doubling their workload for alternate heroes is time better spent elsewhere. Heck, it creates a burden for adding more alternate heroes in the future. It's an unnecessary burden just to make some roleplayers more comfortable.
I doubt that it's about money. Blizz has had - and probably still has - huge problems with their art pipelines. Or like one guy on the WoW team put it
Priest spell heals for one? That must be a bug, Brode made it sound like the heal adds up and it should add up.
This card is very good imo, it will be in almost every priest deck. Dealing one damage to stuff in priest on a decent card? yeah. I take it.
Spell damage makes it exponentially better. I hope there are some new spell damage cards in the set you can play in rogue too.
I think it's a visual bug. If you look at the life total it goes up by 6.
or may be intentional? I kind of hope so, those animations take a little too long to finish going one by one

Starts with the next expansion.
You will get a legendary within your first 10 packs when a new expansion comes out
Also you will no longer get dupes of legendaries

As it stands if you've gone 39 packs (of the same pack type) without a legendary then you'll get one in your 40th.
I've also heard that soon if you've never opened a type of pack before (GvG, TGT, Old Gods etc.) you'll get a legendary in your first 10 packs, but I don't think that's in the game yet.
The RETURN of the PPP!

It's going to be extremely hard for them to come up with 9 new hero powers that are unique and comparable to Rexxar's. Coming up with even more isn't likely.
My point was that giving alternate heroes their own legendary hero card would even further inflate the set cost. It's not a good route for them to take.
Some people have straight-up paid money for these portraits.
I just think they shouldn't half-ass the feature, and I also think this downplays the significance of future alternate heroes. If Deathknight Anduin becomes standard, why would I ever care about a future alternate hero they release for Priest? In any other time in gaming people would be unanimous in calling this cheap.
It doesn't have to happen with this expansion, but I do think it should happen.
But do you say "I'M IN CHARGE NOW" every time you fire your cannon?I have a pirate's package ... Well my package does have one eye.
Any time I get a rematch I hard counterpick their deck on the third one. =)
Or...better idea...they have millions of players. Make their matchmaking not shit.

Hahaha, yeah maybe I should! With that music playing too. Rofl.
We're missing a few variables here. Is this wild or standard? What rank are you at? What time of day is it on your server?
All of these could give you a rematch with someone that would be reasonable for your situation.

Now THERE is a Brawl glitch.
If you use Mind Control Technician and get Mini-Rag, he stays on your side forever. RIP.

Not a glitch, he just has weak willpower in his tiny form.
does double gold apply to arena? I might actually play that if it does.
At rank 5 and lower I have queued into the same person 5 times in a row before.
