Yeah that kinda sucks, but at least the things I spend money on in this game (like the preorder bundles) sound like you’ll still be able to purchase with actual money.

Only nerf Theotar needs is 1-2 mana, if that.

I just found the old announcement that we aren’t getting any single player content, which I’m mostly fine with.

So, uh, did we find out who killed the Sire? Was it Sylvannus? Or is his card supposed to indicate that he wasn’t actually killed?

I was wondering about this too, they even did that murder mystery story with a bunch of clues you were supposedly able to put together.

Very hyped on the Death Knight stuff!!

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.

I forget, does it make sense to keep any standard packs you get now for when the expansion comes out?

I know why they'd never do it, and I understand why completely, but it would be kinda interesting to see a Manathirst/Honorable Kill/Infuse card that actually gets worse if its stipulation is fulfilled. For instance, with Insatiable Devourer I thought when its infuse said "and its neighbors" I first thought it meant the DEVOURER'S neighbors. I thought that was a sorta interesting way to use infuse, its a downside but under certain situations maybe you'd want it to kill its neighbors?

It's pretty much no-sells any aggro deck and does well against midrange

Gets bodied by ramp druid and deathrattle priest + most combo DH decks

PS I'd never run Denathrius in blood now, you'll juice him up to like 11 or 12 max which is basically do nothing

I'd also run a couple of smothering starfish since deathrattle rogue is popular right now

Also corpse explosion sucks, you have more than enough removal already and can't generate enough corpses to make it worth playing one let alone two

Reasonable suggestions! I'm on the fence about Denathrius. Sometimes just doing a bit of damage and healing for 10-15 can help in close games. And Corpse Explosion has done me well for the mirror, and honestly I'm usually sitting on tons of corpses so I've never struggled to clear the board.

I don’t know if they ever clarified before this that the reason signature cards look so dark and drab is because they’re matching the death knight aesthetic… most people I’ve seen thought that’s just how signature cards were always going to look

Heroic Yoshimitsu

In a weird way, I like that Death Knight isn’t great… makes me feel cooler for playing it!

Heroic Yoshimitsu
Jan 15, 2008

I could some kind of small nerf happening to Brann, maybe making him go to 4 mana and dropping him back to 3 when he rotates out.

Heroic Yoshimitsu

Death Knight has been one of my favorite additions to Hearthstone, I’ve enjoyed the class since day 1 of the expansion

It honestly wouldn't, but I feel like if they made one hero card Core they'd kind of have to do them all, and then you just end up with a year that feels very similar to this past year. I think the core set is one of the best ideas they've had for Hearthstone, and such a great opportunity to freshen up the meta (honestly I think it should be shuffled around every 6 months) so it would be a shame if it just had a bunch of recent repeats. Maybe if we're talking several years down the road, idk.

To be fair, Jaraxxus is core so that’s already one… but I get what you’re saying

…Honestly, I could see Cube in the Core Set.

I’ve been thinking the same thing… I could even see it going down the Brann route of “well-liked card comes back to standard, then some crazy combos using it come out and eventually everyone gets sick of it”

I’m running Blood Crusader and Annoy o Troupe in my pure Paladin deck. Probably not “the best”, but putting the group down on turn 6 seems to cause a lot of problems for a bunch of decks
