Latter I guess.
They've always done a livestream at the end. I wasn't expecting one at the beginning.
This is just
+1/+1 stats that requires a silence. Silence priest doesn't have room for this....

I'd expect a blogpost with a half dozen cards today, and then a trickle of streamer reveals all week.

Why are people talking about an Evolve nerf?
Secret Mage can't handle flood decks in my experience. It's just a bad matchup if they get going, and they pretty much always do.
Yeah, ESPECIALLY since it will wipe your N'Zoth board. That means this is a deathrattle card that could only see play in some kind of specialist egg deck (or Dreadsteed? lol).
Even for spell heavy decks I don't think it's really worth it.
I think you would need an egg equivalent that doesn't summon a minion, like a 0/5 that does 5 damage to your opponent's face when they die.
That, or if there's a very popular deck that summons cards for their opponent like that Naxx encounter where you have "can't attack" creatures that do 3 damage to you each turn.

The combo you're looking for is with thr Leper Gnomes! Play N'Zoth on turn ten to summon all your Lepers back, then on your next turn deal a whopping 10 extra damage after removing your own Ticking Abomination!
In seriousness though, outside of an effect like Hungering Ghoul / Backroom Bouncer or Frothing Berzerker, this just seems like another 'overstatted' card at a cost. Maybe there will be synergies, but probably not.

This card feels like the kind of card that they print because they need to balance out discover effects or other random chance abilites that find or create deathrattles.
I hope that's the case, because there are LOTS of great deathrattles, a few mediocre ones, and very few outright bad ones. So if this card being printed means more stuff that will find/create/spawn deathrattles then I'm for it.
It is also a common, so we can't be getting our hopes up for it just yet.

I know everyone is hating on Iceblock, and rightfully so. I saw the championships and saw games where people should of lost but 4 Iceblocks saved them and allowed them to win which was super frustrating to watch.
Now my thought is to have minions that do damage on the opponents turn.
Example:
Tripper (2 mana, 3/2, target takes 1 point of damage on their turn)

Freeze is general is super shit and frustrating to play against, just lost a game after my opponent kept getting blizzard and frost nova from cabalist tome ( got frozen for 6 turns as priest ).
Unless I'm missing something, it's a rare.
Yeah, Ice Block is pretty powerful but its kept in check by Eater of secrets.... but then you have several cards that can generate even more Ice Blocks.
I remember losing against Mage that had 4 Ice Blocks thanks to Primordial Gliph and Paveling Book.
There no way to "play around" 4 Ice Blocks!
no 10AM blog post, I guess that's it for the start of the reveals. lol
you'd think they reveal a bunch of exciting cards to start the train, the initial stream sucked, 3 weeks of nothing now here we are, they're not even announcing some kind of schedule on the website for streamers votes and similar.

So we got got?
You are right. I wasn't looking at it when I wrote the post and thought I remembered it being common.
Yeah, I was expecting at least 1 Hero Card today to start things.

Eater of Secrets does not keep Ice Block in check at all, it never has just like with MC it didn't. Sometime a deck has the luxury or necessity to play such a terrible card.Yeah, Ice Block is pretty powerful but its kept in check by Eater of secrets.... but then you have several cards that can generate even more Ice Blocks.

Eater of Secrets is to terrible to play. There is a reason that the pros weren't using the card. One did, and his deck lost against mage, while losing to everything else because this card put his deck at a disadvantage, and made him lose all the mirror matches.
We need cards that counter this that actually have decent value for their cost. 1 Damage on turn affects everyone, not just secret users.
Probably just the latter with a stream somewhere right before launch to dump all the rest.

way ahead in the jade druid mirror when yogg casts vanishing putting me to 10 cards in hand and burning my 2nd jade idol. Died to having no deck should have played around it...
Now don't you guys feel stupid saying Ticking Abom was bad!
Iceblock is still a hard counter.
Lol yeah even if it were real and ice block got HoF'd I dunno if it would be good cause it's still gonna be basically a 3 card combo cause you still have to kill off the Abom.
The rare occasion when that happens gives me energy.
Like the rare occasion when I embrace darkness and play secret mage and counterspell some 3-5 mana card, and you can just FEEL the mental gears grind to a halt on the other side.
ohh that is such a amazing feeling.. there is always that awkward moment from the opponent where he/she has to make up another plan

Is that the only card we're getting today?
Tomorrow maybe they'll UNREVEAL a revealed card since we were so ungrateful.

This is the worst of both worlds. We had to wait weeks after the reveal and we still get a drip feed.
The 6/2 is a beast though. The synergy!
Finally his time to shine!
Reverse Power creep is exactly what this game needs to stay fresh! LOL
