Yeah, it’s been forever since I played BGs, but I remember that pogos were basically a trap build.

Pogo was viable for like half of one patch the rest of the time it has been a massive high roll trap build. Kind of a shame it is kind of fun to play as.

This could actually be a pretty legit strategy, and if not it'll make for some great YouTube content. Helps if you're in a non-Demon/non-Murloc lobby for 2 fewer Battlecrys in the pool.

But more likely is farming money/tokens/upgrade reductions on 1, then using triples to shoot up to Tier 3 or 4 for the discovers.

Good luck to you, I know you believe in hell
Tess hero power looks crazy strong but I guess it's balanced by the fact that it's not that strong in the early game. Unless you play against AF Kay or Eudora on their power turns.

Yea Aranna can do a safe Rafaam curve now:

Turn 1: buy
Turn 2: buy and roll
Turn 3: buy and roll twice
Turn 4: Tier up (2 gold) and roll and buy
Turn 5: roll to activate, which immediately gives you 7 minions in tavern, buy two units
Turn 6: Tier up (5 gold) and buy, or stay on 2 and meme it up with Pogos

Is this new expansion BG only? I have played precisely 2 games ever of BGs so if that is all that is coming, I'm done. It just seems weird the only leaks I have seen are for BGs or the lore (lol).

The new expansion will be just like the others as far as new constructed cards.

Nah it's a regular expansion. If it helps, a new card was also leaked as the Log-In Bonus, an Epic called "Transfer Students".

The rumored battlegrounds changes look terrible, I hope they are not complete/official.
Goldrinn to 6 kills beast builds, no changes to megasaur so murlocs will continue to win every lobby, Hooktusk nerfed to trash tier instead of just making her HP cost 1.

Spellburst might be what libram paladin needs to get the job done, but it also indirectly kills support for spell mage.

The dual class cards are going to be nerfed within thr first month, mark my words.

So am I reading this right? Spellburst is a one time only bonus you get if a card with that keyword is on the board when you cast a spell?

You get used to it. I don't
even see the code. All I see
is Ipecac, Scapular, Polyphemus...


They're changing weapon cards to look more like the other cards rather than metallic gray with colored borders around the art (which got a little hard to distinguish) so we'll probably see at least one dual-class weapon.

a fatguy baldspot posted:

Yes, Spellburst goes off for a minion the first time you cast a spell while it's on the board. There's a little sparkle icon on it that goes away afterwards.

Ah, OK. I thought it was a “every time you cast a spell” keyword and hoo-boy was I getting the impression they were leaning into making everything new some truly overpowered poo poo.

I mean if you want to spend 2 cards and a coin ramping 2 mana that you can’t spend for 2 turns, maybe.

Doesn’t seem wise to me though.

Don't sleep on the Priest 1-mana 1/4. The class is really close to having a workable zoo, all it needs is a bit more card draw.

is the 0 mana put two 1 cost cards in your hand for paladin? why do they keep trying to push a 1 drop paladin especially after they removed crystology
i guess its a bad replacement for any sort of draw which is pretty consistent with their recent class design

Cool new undocumented feature:

Tried to reroll a quest, nothing happened.
Backed out of the quest overview and opened it again - the quest I wanted to reroll was *poof* gone.

Restarting the client did not bring it back.

So, word of warning, don't reroll your quests.
