Hearthstone |OT9| Our raid wiped in Icecrown Citadel

There's not much difference but the important thing is that it's redundancy for Aggro Paladin type decks that want weenie divine minions. So you can have 4 Argent Squires in your deck that you can buff them up and do whatever with.
That's true, but help me understand your point from here:
What are you disagreeing with? I can't figure out how this disproves dimb's point.
I wasn't disagreeing with anything, I was just point out that buffing this card with Spikeridge Steed is the same as buffing Argent Squire with Spikeridge Steed so it's not really a noteworthy thing.
Probably better example to use was Blessing of Kings as then it becomes a 5/5 Divine Shield with Taunt. Spikeridge Steed gives you the taunt but blessing of kings doesn't which makes this a superior target for Blessing of Kings versus Argent Squire (as Taunt scales up with HP).

I look forward to both in Wild.

Firefly is still the best.
It's noteworthy in that Stonehill Defender can't give you Argent Squire.
So even though you'd like to get something with taunt + divine shield + high HP, getting something with taunt + divine shield that can then be buffed to high HP isn't horrible. I think that was their point.
On another note, aww, the new card back is cute.

Nothing like ending the season losing to combo mage with complete luck.
Does nothing but play card draw early with engineer and hoarder.
Primordial into primordial into volcanic for board wipe.
Babbling book into Blizzard when I have a full board.
Double frost nova and doomsayer, forcing me to devolve.
Another Blizzard.
Ice block x2, probably x3.
I evolve my board twice and get anomalus to clear my whole board.
He sets up his apprentices. I of course don't roll spell damage and don't have lightning either to get past his taunts.

It looks freaking great.
OTOH, I still don't get why Blizzard doesn't sell card backs for cash. Selling cosmetics is the least resistance in microtransactions and can fetch you good price.
Weird, I don't have that one yet. I guess it will be mid-day U.S. time to go out?
I still wish they would add a way you could admire your own card back. Hover over your deck, click on your deck, click a tiny icon -- anything so you can admire your animated card back while you wait on the enemy priest to rope every turn.
Right now, you barely see it.

It's the one you'll get next month. It's for reaching rank 20 during the August season.

You don't have to run argent squire in your deck to be able to play this.
Meh a 5 mana 5/3 body with draw a card is just unplayable. Suits a neutral epic :b
Righteous Defender, yes it's a Paladin card. Good point about diluting the Stonehill Defender pool.

Why hello hello hello hello there.
That's what I've been thinking; along with hero power 'Give a minion Divine Shield' or 'Summon a 1/1 with Divine Shield'.
What? Ugh... Estimated release is still august 10th right?
Rest of them will be released on livestream, not sure about the date
edit:
3 new cards
edit2: Kranich said corpse widow is for all deathrattle cards, not just minions. https://twitter.com/KranichHS/status/892356274679029760

Corpse... Widow?
How can you be a widow to something that was already dead?
Also what the hell even is that? Don't think I recognize that kind of beast in Warcraft at all. Looks like a zergling bone golem or something.

I played some matches and won them all with Quest Rogue last night. =/
I think that the Mage quest is in a good spot right now, which Quest would you like to get stronger? (I would love to see some Warlock Quest.)

I hope blizzard doesn't give up on quest
Would love to see them back at some point
That palidian card looks pretty good

Hunter/Paladin/Rogue/Warlock - Likely to be fully dead. These quests have fundamental flaws that new cards probably can't fix.
Druid - I am not sure if this quest is fundamentally flawed or not. New cards could make it easier to achieve but I don't know if the reward is good enough to make a competitive deck.
Mage/Priest - We've already seen a couple cards that could help these respective quests and it was always more the card pool that was holding them back more than anything.
Shaman - This quest isn't even bad but it's unclear if new murlocs can improve it.
Warrior - The deck is already good, not sure if it improves or gets worse. Just depends on what new cards are revealed for Warrior.
Those don't look like spider eyes.

Just wondering, Corpse Raiser is pretty much a neutral Ancestral Spirit, right? Seems like a cool card.
Its curve out into that new immune weapon tho
And 5/3 actually ok with so many deck run low statted 3 drop nowadays and we dont see new 3 drop that stat padded in this set
Its card text effectively reads "Give you weapon +1 Duability this turn". I don't think Weapon Durability is worth that much for rogue though. If they are even in a situation where they can start buffing up their weapon a ton, weapon counters will just get run in the meta.
corpse raiser looks like an amazing card used on the correct situations. yes it has a mediocre body, but the effect can be pretty good on some huge minions.
of course, this is an ancestral spirit for all classes.
EDIT: also, mike donais confirmed no DK hero for today, but kripp has the reveal of one of his favorite cards of this set.

You can play this and multiple 2-drops on the same turn.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Drop 2 Kindly Grandmothers with a 4/6 on turn 5
Where does Hunter get the card draw to do something like that? Or the early game to just sit on Kindly Grandmothers?

Drop one you just happened to draw on turn 5 duh
