Why did they start the Halloween event on November 1st

They did this last year too. It's because the release calendar got messed up at some point -- new sets used to release in mid-November but now they release beginning of December.

I like all the new mechanics death knight has, like the deck building rune restrictions. I’m a lot more excited for the class than, say, I was for demon Hunter when it was first revealed.

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


The rune mechanic is very interesting because it lets them make death knight a very varied class without letting them go completely apeshit at everything at once, all the time. Their strengths are many. Their weakness is they can't exploit all their strengths in one deck.

Unlike [insert current OP class here] am I right folks (laugh track)

They do this every loving expansion. That card will remain 7-cost for a few weeks before they bump it up to 8 and adjust the stats to compensate.

Yeah, it’s interesting. It kind of feels like they learned a lesson from Demon Hunter’s launch where even some of the cards that were clearly intended for other archetypes, like Imprisoned Antaen and Priestess of Fury, ended up getting nerfed because they were so strong in the aggro shells. It also avoids the problem that pops up periodically where they miss on the power level of a deck and can’t print anything good for that class for like a year out of fear of making the strong deck even better. If a card would be too good in Blood Death Knight, say, you can add a few more Unholy or Frost runes to it instead of outright nerfing it and making it a weaker card for everyone.

I mashed together a deck and managed to get 54 armor and full health by constantly bringing back that 8 armor guy that I cheated out turn 3, killing all their threats with that 4/8 lifesteal guy, stealing the deathrattles twice card from rogue opponent, and playing the hero card that replays all your deathrattles. Big priest rules.

Weird. I haven't gotten the update on android but on PC it still only shows them as "results found in wild decks" despite the rest of the update working normally

e: ok the death knights are showing up but not the rest of the frozen throne cards now

e2: so it seems like you can search for the cards by name but you can't search for them by expansion?

I also noticed a glitch earlier today with the new battlegrounds strike from the battle bash box or w/e

Whenever I'd get a Level 3 or Level 4 strike (ones where you knocked someone out or won the game) the board state wouldn't return to Recruit mode at the end of Combat. It happened like 4 times in one game for me (:smug:) before I could switch back to a different strike.

Is there a reason to not 'dust' your maxed merc excess coins for renown I'm missing? Some disclosed future use for coins that doesn't use the renown middle-man I'm forgetting? They give you a big dust all type button so i'm kinda assuming they intend you to just dump everything right away

And Patchwerk is only 1 Blood rune so you can have both. With 2 Horn of Winter you can pull off the Brann+Patchwerk combo on turn 7, 6 with coin.

No way this is optimal. Probably you want go with the colossal and then only one of the other two minions for more consistency. Then I have no idea about what other spells would be good, but it probably doesn't matter too much
