You get used to it. I don't

New expansion announcement tomorrow, implied to be related to Elite Tauren Chieftan. Possibly a music-themed expansion

THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





Hi. Played (badly) for a short while years ago and been back playing for a few weeks.

Is there any game less satisfying than losing to that "destroy the enemy hero" card?

Which one, the priest one or the horsemen (usually warlock) one?

Now be a dear and
fuck the fuck off.
I just encountered some Rogue / KTZ / Thaddius nonsense that used Brann to Alexstraza me six times in one turn, and I really, really hope that whoever in Blizzard keeps putting Brann in has a wood chipper accident.

Just had a quick battleground game as Edwin, finished first and didn't even lose one combat. Op success

I got this title for free due to my proximity to an idiot who wanted to save $5 on an avatar by having someone else spend $9.95 instead.

Was thinking specifically of the priest one but yeah, the warlock one too

I don't even get what's fun about playing the priest one. It's literally just waiting until you draw the I Win card.

Okay further update. Played a priest with the Xyrella deck. They managed to get the card. It was the very last one they drew an I only know this because it happened on my turn (deathrattle effect) shortly before I smashed their face into the ground. :owned:

All this took was starting off with two existential devourers (or whatever the hell they're called) and a poisonbloom to get through all the late taunts. :toot:

Paladin legendary spell from the video: 3 mana Holy spell "Give your hero Divine Shield. For the rest of the game, playing a Holy spell refreshes it"

which seems pretty nuts

there's also a way to summon a 6/6 Rush Taunt Divine Shield Reborn Stealth Poisonous Windfury

So we're just gonna ignore whatever the DK(?)card at the end of the trailer is that deals 12 Lifesteal to the enemy hero and summons a board full of 7/8s?

Edit: Oh, it's this one. Good thing that spending corpses is super hard.
I guess we can count us lucky that the Souls don't have rush.

Ways to circumvent the Compact #6: Find a dreaming god and affect his dreams so that they become reality. Hey, it's not like it's you who's affecting the world. Blame the other guy for irresponsibly falling asleep.
Oh, wow. I'm totally in love with the music theme and they seem to be taking it to ridiculous enough lengths that the cards themselves seem just plain fun. I've never paid for anything in this game but for the first time I'm tempted to. Even the signature cards look nice.

I appreciate them actually making the first set after rotation actually interesting and powerful. No Barrens/Sunken City repeat, hopefully 🤞

Would a single other Amalgam played have that card at 100% keywords? Cause that compares pretty favourably to Siamat if all you need is Amalgam of the Deep in your deck to enable it

I don't think generation looks at the runes you have

like you can generate the Scourge in Blood or Frost decks

yeah exactly - I was initially thinking you would need to generate spenders in rainbow dk, but you can just generate the legendary rainbow spell *in a triple-rune deck that already has good spenders*

This is true for Nerubian Vizier, who will love this card, but I think the implication is you will also be able to find it off of any discover an X rune card.

Ok that drops it way down if you can’t consistently get rush divine shield windfury out of it.

Cats like optical fibers.
The flavor of the new expansion is interesting. It looks pretty neat, seems that they're going for a lot of high impact cards rather than busted combos. Tentatively looking forward to UiS and Alterac rotating out and this one rotating in. Just... don't keep Brann in core.

Wow they actually listened to feedback about the signature cards. They now have copy protection, can be disenchanted, and the pre-order bundle comes with golden legendaries again. They also look way better this expansion

Also those are some big shakeups in Battlegrounds
