Some of the nerfs/buffs seem odd. Like Alignment going to just the player who casts it is neat, but it probably should have been reverted to 7 mana.

Gonna be interesting to see how that plays out. Does the card still get played if it can't affect the opponents ability to play cards? Will be looking forward to seeing the change if any in Druid play.

I won’t shed a single tear if Alignment is never cast again, to be honest.

Giving Rogue hyper draw can’t possibly miss, though.

Yea I'm not sure. I play Druid a lot and you're already losing tempo by casting it, sometimes one or two turns worth depending on what's in your hand. Generally that's fine though because you can make it up quickly and snowball, but part of that is because you're limiting what your opponent can do. Feel like in Standard with Guff hanging out it's not really worth but I'll still use it in Druid Mecha'thun decks though.

How does dupe protection for guaranteed golden legendaries work? Are you guaranteed to open one you haven't seen, or could you get a golden version of a card you already have the normal one of? Because the Hunter wildseed legendary is like one of only a few in the set I'm missing; I'm trying to run the odds on getting one from that overpriced golden card bundle for the full dust refund

I tried typing "Recently changed" "Recently modified" "nerfed" etc and now i feel silly. Thanks for this.

Death Knight sounds cool. I'm guessing the hero power will be Death Coil since it's iconic to the class. It can deal damage or heal undead in the other games, and it sure seems like undead as a tribe type is overdue. Earlier today I was looking at the warrior / enrage minions, wondering why undead wasn't already a thing.

That led me to a really dumb idea. Since anyone can be raised as a death knight, maybe you can create a dual-class archetype from existing heroes and cards. IE - I can turn warrior into a death knight, and pop into a match with whatever new death knight hero skin and power they invent. I'd have limited access to warrior cards. Likely just warrior undead minions, but the new DK cards would define the playstyle and archetype. Sounds interesting thematically, and possibly easier on player's wallets since you can pull from your existing collection. I know that sounds like more of a reason NOT to do it, but since adding demon hunter they've made strides to make the game more accessible for new players.

Anyways, that probably works better as a duels concept. But maybe they'll do something neat like reintroduce those Frozen Throne hero cards into standard. Make them available as part of the DK core set, even print a new variant for Demon Hunter.

Look they started with Demon Hunters which means they NEED to go backwards from the WoW classes. The next class should be Monk!

I think dual-class cards in Scholomance were a hit, and with DK's identity I could see them at least doing something similar to that. Maybe every class gets some "corrupted" (poo poo, we already used that keyword!) cards and they function as dual-class DK cards, but as a DK you're restricted by only being able to include corrupted cards from one other class in your deck. Idk, it sounds like a fun expansion gimmick, but I'm not sure if it's something they'd want to keep doing in perpetuity

edit: this is kind of similar to what Runeterra is doing with "neutral" heroes, where by including them in your deck changes deckbuilding requirements from needing cards from specific regions to caring about other stuff. Like "you can only put minions with battlecries in your deck" or something. It's worked out okay there I guess -- you end up with some very linear "connect the dots" deckbuilding where archetypes feel very railroaded, but that might be a flaw of the card design they've done and not inherent to the mechanic

I dunno, Chen Stormstout is pretty conspicuously absent as a Legendary considering how he's a fairly high-profile WoW character. Death Coil sounds about right for the DK hero power. Deal two damage to an enemy minion or heal a friendly Undead minion for two?

DK will, of course, be ludicrously overtuned upon release the same way DH was, because Blizzard's design methodology across all of their games is to err on the side of too much rather than too little power so that people actually play the new character, and because it's generally easier/better to nerf than it is to buff. And I'm not saying I disagree with that approach, just that it's going to make the game suck all over again for weeks after release.

Ooh, that sounds more reasonable. And I would say "unholy" should be the gimmick word, but that most certainly will be a spell school.

That's interesting. I really need to give this game another try.

Edit: The real question is. Who will be the default DK hero? Arthas sounds too predictable, give me Thassarian.

Honestly, I don't think they'd add a new one. They didn't add spell schools so long ago that they wouldn't have had plans for Death Knight when they decided on them, and most Death Knight abilities could safely be stuck in either Shadow or Frost.

Also, Illidan seemed like the too-predictable option for Demon Hunter too, so we'll see what happens.

Why would that stop Monk from happening? They're gonna keep pumping out classes because it's a good tentpole feature that pulls players in. It's not like they're going to do DK and go "nah we're good"
