Looks like a bunch of filler

Yup, majority of the commons that weren't shown seem to just be pack filler that won't see play.
Only for your plebes that don't play arena. Neutral commons pretty much define arena play.
You don't want a lot of spell damage flying around with mage decks already occupying 1-2 of the tier 1 spots.
Gnash is like Bash but worse. I like to see its flavor text lol.
Toxic arrow is playable, it's kinda controllable and more flexible deadly shot, you're not at the mercy of RNG. It's not bad. They clearly don't want hunter to combo wild pyro. Can't even play it with immune. Pretty sure immune minions are not targettable with anything.

Did Paladin not get a secret this set?
It's early game removal that scales into the late-game to be a form of hard removal. Cool card. Not really what Hunter wants though.

Keening Banshee just makes no sense. +1 stat point for a brutal drawback.
Nope. And even if they did, Geist could delete all secrets in their hand and deck if they don't get set by turn 6.
Surely these have to be the final cards even with my miscount. Oddly enough, one is spell damage.
Tainted Zealot looks darn close to a pirate, but it's apparently not.

and that spell damage might be dangerous. it's cheap enough to make it with a combo card in a burn mage turn

Most of these are meh at best for arena play

Just checked HearthPwn, they're only at 122. However, it looks like they're still updating.

Looks like the full gallery is up on the website as well. Probably the easiest way for mass consumption.

Disappointed that Discardlock is still trash and Priest didn't get Scry.
Yeah I've given up counting, I'm lost too.
Hearthpwn doesn't even have the +2 spell damage minion yet.BananasWithGuns

The site for me is showing 10 cards per class and then 45 neutrals.
90 class cards + 45 neutrals for 135 total which should be all of them.

Oh, miscounted, whoops. Looks like that's all folks.
IMO they have done an excellent job with this expansion. Even the cards that are generally vanilla pack fillers do something that makes them considered for specific decks (like 4 mana 2/4 summon 2 1/1s, that's a solid card for token decks).
My only real concern with this expansion is that Pirate Warrior still looks dominant, there haven't been that many good anti aggro tools this expansion unlike in Ungoro. Best option are Defile and a few life steal cards but that by itself won't stop PW.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
One of these days I'll have to post like 5 Pirate Warrior replays again. It still boggles my mind how people can succeed with it at the rank 15 / rank 10 floor against the sort of decks I encounter.
Comes out Thursday.
Preorder goes away when the cards get patched in. They usually patch the game on Tuesday. So... today.
i kind want to make warlock decks just to give it to my opponent
or play a hot potato game with another warlock

You can, yes.
By the way, are you making the card rating survey thing again for this set?
Also, I forgot to mention this, but it looks like they're updating the UI to have more information:
It'd be nice if they applied these changes to cards like Justicar, too.

Is that a new change? Brode also said Tuesday was the last day at first, but then it sounded like he wasn't sure if it was that or Thursday. I know I got Gadgetzan 15 minutes before the packs unlocked.
Awesome can't wait to go in excited and then get blown the fuck up by ZealousD and Dahbomb in the re-review later haha =)
Thanks though!
Well, Reddit is saying you can preorder up until the set drops. :shrug:
Unless somebody doesn't have the money on hand, there's no point in waiting until the last minute though. There's an 100% chance you can preorder today, and a less-than-100% chance you can do it tomorrow or Thursday.
