It was a holiday weekend in the US, if they're going to post more spoilers they'll likely do it today.

I just experienced the beauty of Vol'jin and Blood Stone synergy. Essentially if you swap stats with a Blood Stone buffed minion the minion keeps the Blood Stones (but not the actual stats) and then you can use the Quilboar that pulls Blood Stones from adjacent minions onto a middle minion to effectively double the buff. Just pulled an insanely huge Cave Hydra out of absolutely nowhere and romped home.

The higher level you get, the more likely it is that your final opponent(s) will hate draft to deny you your last one or two combo pieces if they sense what you're trying to do and all your pieces aren't quite in place. This isn't very common, though.

Where the hunter cards at? I see beast synergy, but it's mana cheat so definitely not hunter.

A savory deviate delight was a food in WoW that would transform you either into a pirate or a ninja for an hour and it was purely cosmetic, but you got the stuff for it in Wailing Caverns.

Definition of orange:

Any of a group of colors that are between red and yellow in hue. Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Old Occitan, from Arabic, from Persian, from Sanskrit.

Definition of lex:

Law. Latin.

Hand disruption has the tendency to find a way into decks. Rogue has a lot of draw to support a 1-mana tech card.

Yeah I don't see which rogue deck wants delight so who knows if it will see play unless generated.

The new fangbound druid seems pretty good. If you use the discount is basically becomes a 1 mana 4/3 with taunt which is ridiculous. Clown druid does already run five beast all of which cost 5 so it could see play.

It's more the part where it also disrupts your own hand, which seems like a major issue unless Rogue can make a viable no minion deck soon. Right now Rogue has a lot of minions it wants to hold onto for its big swing turns.

I can see 1 mana hand disruption being pretty good in tempo decks since it immediately screws up your opponents mulligan. Later in the game it has the obvious ability to disrupt your opponents swing turns they are saving up.

It's probably not going to be widely seen but it definitely has it's uses.

I think it's meant to support a Celestial Alignment deck, rather than a taunt/beast deck. Makes your expensive beast free post-alignment, helps you to survive before then.

e: eh, probably not. I don't know, its effect is good but the deck you build around it still seems mediocre

many hours wasted transformed as these waiting for raids to get organized and start. Also carbon-dates WoW to the time period where the Pirates vs Ninjas Internet meme was at its peak

As some who is getting back into battlegrounds, that is pretty cool. I've tried the pull bloodstone minion a few times and its been lacklustre.

Necroboar is incredibly good, and gets used regularly. Pulling gems off a Bristleback Brute or Aggem or Groundshaker, to your cleave or divine shield is a core strategy.

because they can get away with it. everyone will buy the set, regardless of what's shown / not shown. even if the cards shown sucked, it wouldn't change anything.

there aren't many options for folks who play this type of game, and soon enough there'll be a new expansion to buy into again, plus more bundles, another pass, and then soon after, yet another mini-set. and so the cycle goes on.

There is a backend: GM decklists for this weekend are being published tomorrow, which will almost certainly contain new cards. They all apparently had access to accounts with the miniset available under NDA for quite a few days now.

If Blizz doesn't do the full reveal then most of the relevant cards will be implicitly revealed by these decklists anyways.

Yeah once you hit that max level you're pretty much rolling in it for the rest of the expansion. Minimum 50 gold a day and a ton more when your weeklies pop.

Poison Rogue is pretty light on minions, though is also really likes poisons coming from Wandmaker and this dilutes the pool.

With the few card reveals we’ve seen today I think there might be just enough for Beast Snek druid to be a thing.

Replace Landscaping with the new 3 drop, and cenarion ward with the deviate dreadfang. Every spell is a nature spell to proc Dreadfang, and even if you don’t get to him you can snowball with GA into Arbor up. Looking forward to trying this on Thursday.
