getting one card from Lich King is probably going to suck. The variance in the cards is huge. Some of them are unplayable even for certain decks. Like you can't play anti spell shell if you don't have board. I don't know it's that good in control, if you want to maximize its usefulness, seems like a better midrange card. I can see this working very well in midrange druid or shaman. Paladin probably don't want this, their top end is better. The main reason it is good is that it's a big ass taunt on top of giving you cards.

Cardbacks for twitch prime seem lame. They don't even look good. They should put druid/warlock hero there like last year they did with priest.

tick tock to mobile users who want to preorder with amazon coins

Pre-order's still purchasable through the desktop version, so it looks like it'll be available to everyone up until the moment the cards unlock, just like usual.

But then there are going to be entire regions that won't be able to get them. A lot of regions still haven't gotten the change to get Tyrande, and she was first released almost a year ago.

 

[TankUP]

Oooooh I want that Call of the Void cardback. I hope it's as easy as just being a Twitch Prime subscriber. It worries me that there are two, because if I only get one and I get the wrong one, I will be sad.

 

[Yaboosh]

Are deck trackers going to tell you what card your opponent stole with that death knight card?

If so that is even more unfair than they already are.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

I haven't seen the rating sheet, not sure if it's in the OP, but what is Shadow Ascendant being rated?

 

[sibarraz]

I mean i gave it a 5 i think so i personally think it's insanely good better than boom etc. I think it's the card that will completely push boom out in wild.

I just figured i was probably wrong.



The medivh/free from amber interaction has really gotten insane. It now has a chance for producing two lich kings, hah.

Wasn't boom already pushed out of wild?

 

[Yaboosh]

Wasn't boom already pushed out of wild?

Sort of. It's far from the popularity you saw in the gvg days. But lots of midrange and control still play it, maybe due to nostalgia.

Hah not even close.

so, there's going to a pirates event.

Pirate warriors ahoy!

I think the card is revealed to both players when stolen.

 

[slightconfuse]

Bring It On! - Brrr, it's cold in here. Let's hope she doesn't have an Auctioneer!

Arfus - There must always be a Lick King.

Mindbreaker - He's a mind breaker, dream taker, ghoul trainer, don't you mess around with him


Skulking Geist - It's as though a million Jade Idols cried out, and were suddenly silenced

Lol

card backs are for twitch prime.

Call of the Void
Card_Back_Twitch1
A card back unleashed from the realm of infinite darkness. Looks wicked rad under a blacklight.

Call of the Light
Card_Back_Twitch2
A card back called forth from the realm of undying light. Gives hope to all mankind (except your opponent.)

what is this

 

[Keyser Soze]

Oh oh, looks like Blizz themselves are pushing Quest Priest in new recipes. This is never a good sign for a quality deck list

 

[The Last One]

So we will get a death knight hero just for playing the single player mission prologue? This means it's best to play the single player mission before opening the packs, right?

Looks kind of like the outline for the arena pass. Maybe it's art they are using to give away the free hero.

 

[wiibomb]

this is the second weird image included in patches. The first one was about a priestess last patch.

You get a random one, and which approach is better depends on what kind of card you want to prioritize. If you want the death knights, you have about a 40% chance of getting one in 50 packs if you open the packs first, and about 36% if you do the prologue first.

Basically:
If you want a death knight: open packs first (higher chance of at least two hero cards)
If you want a legendary minion: prologue first

And here I felt creative when I predicted quest priest could become good earlier on in the reveal. Everyone's going to be doing it.

Still not going to be good. Early game is still garbage.

 

[Blizzard]

I took a quick look, though you can't see the full colors yet. Golden snowflipper penguin isn't as cool as I hoped. It moves, but the background isn't flying past.

Golden Rotface doesn't blink the eyes, but they do move around while the mouth drools.

Basically:

But if you open the packs first and get a death knight hero you may get the a duplicate from the prologue mission. I think the rule to no more legendary duplicates is only for packs.

 

[Xanathus]

Apparently they think that the Rogue DK Hero is good with Jade Deathrattle Rogue since that's the recipe.

 

[Blizzard]

I'm pretty sure Blizzard has claimed the prologue legendary won't be a duplicate either.

 

[Nachos]

No, it's for all cards. If you get a death knight from the packs, there's zero chance of you getting the same one from your prologue reward.

They pushed decent recipes last time around. Quest rogue & quest warrior. Could be good.

 

[gutshot]

Apparently they think that the Rogue DK Hero is good with Jade Deathrattle Rogue since that's the recipe.

Mike Donais said he thinks it will go in every Rogue deck because it is that powerful.

 

[Blizzard]

So if we use the proper logic, we can conclude the following will all be bad:

• Rogue (Trump said it could be great)
• Deathrattle rogue (Blizzard pushed it in the stream and/or recipe)
• Quest priest (Blizzard pushed it in the recipe)
• Whirlwind warrior (Blizzard pushed it in the stream)

 

[Xanathus]

None of the Paladin decks have the Paladin DK. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Blizzard]

None of the Paladin decks have the Paladin DK. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

That's very consistent with my logic because I think most people agree it's an amazing card.

Most people on the spreadsheet rated it 4 or 5 and Blizzard isn't pushing it, so yup good card confirmed!

Thanks.

I hope it's not played much, because I'm not looking forward to dealing with a fucking 2/6 Cleric.

 

[The Last One]

No, it's for all cards. If you get a death knight from the packs, there's zero chance of you getting the same one from your prologue reward.

Oh ok, thanks guys. I'm actually surprised about this prologue reward, didn't know they would give us a free legendary.

But I guess we will have to wait a while to unlock Arthas hero though.

 

[Xanathus]

The "Merciless Sacrifice" Warlock deck looks like a decent Zoo deck. Nice synergy between Meat Wagon and Validated Doomsayer.

 

[Pooya]

Recipes are just that, general guidance for the wider audience. I don't think they ever stated these are what Blizzard considers very good decks.

Shit he's finally validated.

Quest priest that sends their opponent to fatigue will 100% be a thing.

After I make rank #10, my next goal is definitely to earn enough dust to craft both Amara and Benedictus for a troll control/fatigue priest deck.

 

[TankUP]

Deck recipes are just a rough outline, a starting point.

Blizzard doesn't solve the meta for us or gives us optimized lists on day one, and I think that's a good thing.

Is there a place online to see the deck recipes? I'm not at home to pull up my client.

 

[slightconfuse]

Still baffled that the warlock DK has nothing to do with discard. They need to buff handlock for it to work

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Just like quest rogue was bad, also showcased on stream

what is this

My bet is that's the reward that you get from the missions that grant you your free death knight.

 

[Professor Lich]

Took a moment to pick out a couple card descriptions;

Rattling Rascal

Skulking Geist

Some other good ones in there.

 

[veryslowhand]

I want to play a greedy renodemonlock with the DK in wild.

 

[wiibomb]

My bet is that's the reward that you get from the missions that grant you your free death knight.

that seems logical, yeah

 

[Blizzard]

Quest rogue got nerfed and isn't played much now. You just gotta wait for the long con.

(I'm being silly though.)

 

[zoukka]

Jesus those are legendary.

 

[Tagyhag]

That description of Geist confirms my fears that Blizz made that card JUST to counter Idol.

That doesn't sound like a company who's thinking 2 expansions ahead to me.

 

[Pooya]

Arthas' voice sounds way off.

 

[wiibomb]

Arthas' voice sounds way off.

you mean different that in the warcraft games? because I have found that all voices are the same, they are way off from how they sound in their games

 

[Yaboosh]

Mill rogue is going to be so good on Thursday.
