I want a new pirate.

go walk a plank

a good rogue weapon!

woah defile is a sick spell effect

:O

all these prince cards seem like total garbage

!

Never ending maelstrom portal card is ****ing unreal good imo

Every card looks unplayable or broken good.

i guess rogue weapon isnt amazing be cause on your 2nd attack youre not immune, just your full first turn with battlecry

Mill warrior hype

Exactly. I just don't get it. And I know we still haven't seen the vast majority of the cards, but there would have to be some really unexpected counters to some of the revealed cards in order for the "appear to be broken" cards to not be broken. Or some really unexpected synergies for some of the revealed cards in order for the "appear to be unplayable" cards to not be unplayable.

I'm probably giving them (Blizzard) too much credit, and the first impression of these cards will be accurate.

2 mana shuffle copies of all cards in your hand into your deck? Like, what? For a class that is content to hold back cards and just play defensive in the early/mid game? 2 mana???? I'm calling it that that card gets a mana cost nerf pretty quickly.

insert standard speech about how we haven't seen all the cards yet so we don't know about interactions and even if we did, people are horrible at predicting these things.

^^yup.

And that some cards are intended to be ****ty.

Purify is a playable card and people still think they can accurately judge these cards. The truth is we know nothing.

lyra priest will be fun when you can just keep reviving her.

Set is so fun, i'll do a full prediction this time around in a few days

Off the bat, dear god look at the synergy in my priest deck:



Using only the core, but Barnes will almost always get a great minion (may take out Prince), then you resurrect it

defile looks ****ing awesome

Also Sindragosa into Frost Lich Jaina Kreygasm

Yah, looks like Warlock is now the ping class now, hello Gurubashi?

I think blademasters and deaths end up being more valuable than the prince.

Wild patron defile warlock!

true but if eternal servitude isn't a little tiny bit busted I'll be amazed.

So, for Spreading Plague, I was wondering why the wording of it was so different than other "summon a minion" for each enemy minion cards (Unleash the Hounds, Protect the King).

This one is basically "Cast this spell once for each enemy minion" where the spell summons a 1/5 taunt scarab.

So, your opponent has 7 minions on board and you cast it into your empty board. The spell is cast 7 times. Does this reduce your Arcane Giants by 7 mana? Does it count as 7 spells cast for Yogg?

If you have Gadgetzan Auctioneer down and you cast it and your opponent has 7 minions, do you draw 6 cards?

IMO, as printed, it would seem like the answer to all of the above would be yes. And there's probably other synergy cards with spell casting I'm overlooking (Red Mana Wyrm?)

Edit: Trump is reviewing this card live now. I will add any of his comments related to the above.

I would guess no to all of that.
