Titans suck because they're all incredibly human looking in a game with a lot of races.

Back when I played World of Warcraft, I was never that interested or invested in the lore so I knew that the Titans existed but basically up until this set reveal I hadn't really looked at any of them. In my head they were more like Marvel's Celestials; weird giant incomprehensible alien thingies that do stuff that normal people can't really understand and have to try to piece together a reason for later. But nope, they're just more regular Warcraft dudes only big.

The tl;dr here is:

1) Titans effectively have charge, but their first three attacks are expended by using their abilities. (If they get windfury, they can use two abilities, and if they get frozen they can’t use any.)
2) Copies on board (Cover Artist, Reverberations) retain state regarding what abilities have been used, but copies in hand (Zola, etc) do not.
3) Titans are excluded from random generation, discover, and transformation.

Titans are supposed to be the size of a planet, so Death Knights getting the Primus, who is just the size of like, a two-story house, seems like a bit of a disadvantage.

I know, we really shouldn't complain after getting 11 packs for basically free, but the last card pack from the Twitch drops was a FoL pack instead of a Titans pack for me, so :thumbsup: for another job well done.

Maybe they'll realize their mistake and give out another pack.

RidiculousHat just came into a stream chat and confirmed it; if you claim NOW you'll properly get a Titans pack and they'll give out a Titans pack to those who got a FoL pack erroneously later this week

I hope that they continue to hide it deeper and deeper in sub-menus until in a few years people will be asking me 'how are you level 366 on the rewards track' and I will simply smile quietly. Single player Mercenaries remains the very best way to gain experience and I hope that it never goes away.

Also, out of the eleven free packs this weekend I got absolutely nothing which isn't surprising but with them I am almost back up to 80k dust.

in the same vein, in Twist shamans only have 3 valid 7-cost and 8-cost minions to discover into (or I guess Evolve into with, say, a blazing transmutation)

7 costs

On the other hand, the format is absurdly fast, so anyone trying for this is going to get killed before they can pop off. It’s pretty much Wild Lite, and there’s not much room for fiddly do-nothing turns. I’m pretty sure I’m undefeated versus Mages of all varieties in this format. You almost have to laugh at anyone trying to run out a turn four Incanter’s Flow and hoping that does something.

I mean, they seeded the whole Hunter weapon thing last year, it’s just they nerfed the hell out of Shockspitter so no one remembers it.

Honestly, with Brann and Devouring Swarm gone, they could probably do at least a partial revert on Shockspitter without breaking anything (Breeder and Zola are the only ways to get dupes, plus I guess Youthful Brewmaster)… but that deck was pretty boring, honestly, so I’m not in any hurry to have it back.

At least I don't dance with them, right?
Also, there aren't a ton of ways to fit the Titans' identity of "slow value engine that's a pain in the rear end to remove" with any of Hunter's big archetypes? They just did a whole expansion of big beast hunter so they don't want to repeat themselves that fast, and I guess you could go hard on hunter secrets but the Mage titan already kinda does that as one of its survival tools. So sure, focus on Hunter's old identity of "guy who beats you with a bow for four rounds in a row".

Whomper was always a weird card to buff in the first place. It wasn't a bad card to start with, and speeding it up could only generate negative play patterns. Plus, they nerfed the archetype enabled by the cards in the new set in order to prop up one that was mostly old cards, which seems kind of not good?

It loses to stuff that goes wide, because its only tool for handling a big board is duplicating Umbral Owl and Rake with Moonlit Guidance and Oracle of Elune, and it can usually only do that trick once. However, it handily beats combo, burn, and control, because it just shits out so much damage and armor and most defensive tools (freezes, removal, etc) are completely inadequate against it.
