That format stinks of “whoever gets on board first wins.” The AOE is absolutely awful — most of it does 2 damage, with a few things that deal 3 like Hellfire and Arcanosaur(!).

That being the case, I’d look for strong proactive linear strategies to be dominant here.

One thing I don't get about that rouge/dh rush elemental that gains your weapon's stats; when it dies do you reequip the weapon or does it go into your hand?

It re-equips, in the exact state it was in when it was taken. Battlecries and deathrattles don’t trigger.

My instinct is that Brann is nuts, but maybe the tempo loss/costs of going Highlander are more severe than I’m thinking. Warrior doesn’t exactly have tons of meaningful battlecries right now, since Odyn no longer stacks — it’s basically Astalor for two months and some miscellaneous value plays like Stoneskin Armorer and Steam Guardian. (There’s also the Ox, but going Highlander makes it more difficult to excavate consistently and there’s not a lot of cards that can deal with two 8-drops but not four.)
It would be a busted card on a lot of classes but not on warrior I think due to lack of many great battlecries. Also warrior needs some spells and poo poo to survive into late game, and every spell you include hurts the deck due to less battlecries. So I think you will end up with a mediocre deck that relies on pulling the card to win and even then you might not get great value depending on your draws. The more you make the deck able to survive without drawing this card, the less valuable this card becomes.

its an otk deck, you generate 4-6 sludges by playing them both and popping Eruption (2 instances of damage) and Hellfire, then you bring out the Arcanists and play every single sludge dealing 6-8 damage each

Thaddius makes everything is free because its all Odd costed at 3 or less.

More than enough sludges. You lose because of the duration of the animations (at least on mobile) not because of a lack of damage. Or sometimes they rat your Thad. Probably half of my losses are because I can't play cards fast enough due to boomer apm and animations.

I wonder what the hunter package is going to be, since all the cards are coming out today. Hopefully some more aggressive deathrattle stuff, it's so close to being a serious competitive deck

Mage Secret: at the start of your turn summon a copy of your highest cost minion

Mage/Hunter 5 mana 5/5 elementa/naga: costs 1 less for each spell cast while in your hand

Maga/Hunter 3 mana spell: summon an elemental companion (Me'Sho, 4/4 can't be targeted; Hiffar, 4/2 your spells cost 1 less; Luekk, 2/4 spell damage +2)


so far it seems pretty garbage although the 5/5 will probably see play at some point, if not immediately

Thanks for looking into it. I wasn't banned, some guy named "NinjaTurtle" got salty that he lost a casual match against me (I used a mech Rogue deck with Nozdormu substituted in for a quick win or loss for the quest). He friended me then said he reported me for having an inappropriate name and immediately unfriended me. My name (Jumbuck#1346 for anyone who wants to add me) is just a term for an Australian sheep, a play on my last name Lamb. I was just wondering if there was anything possibly offensive about it or he was just being a trolling sore loser.

If "Jumbuck" is racist then those racists are high level and using new words and terms no one gets. It's fun to get into an insane person's head but you can't really expect to come out with the same results.

I'm REALLY curious but I'll wait for their next rage add to ask.

I dunno, it requires the opponent to leave up the OP minion and it's super easy to check for by leaving a tiny minion on the board.

I think 90% of the time it's going to be triggering on the 4 mana 3/5 that plays two secrets, which seems underwhelming at best
