    I was waiting a 1-cost 1/1 Whelp for this expansion. If it won't be in this expansion, it can never be.

    So they thought that it would be so op for deckbuilding, like me.

    Edit: ah and This expansion should be named as "Descent of Powercreeps". That's a better name tbh.

    Im pretty sure were gonna see 1 more legendary in this stream for all non evil classes because it wont be fair for a class like mage to have 2 legendaries while roge has 3 

     

    Dont know probably just my ocd

      no we won't, the extra legendary Galakrond that Evil classes are getting is free and you won't be able to get it from packs so it's fair in that sense

      how will it play out in the meta is a different topic and for now we can only guess

      You also have to "weigh" the Legendaries, not only count them.

      Take for example Lady in White and Chameleos: this is what Priest got after last year's rotation, but they haven't seen competitive play yet.
      You can make this reasoning with "good" classes as well (Duskfallen Aviana and Splintergraft for Druid), but it leads to the conclusion that a class' strength is  not determined by the number of Legendaries available (before Doom in the tomb, Combo Priest dominated the meta with 2 legendaries, 2 epics and all commons, rares and basics), but rather the quality of a set overall.

      Rogue has 3 Legendaries, but it may not have a remarkable spot in the meta if some conditions are met, whereas Mage may find itself a place.

      This is totally not a matter of fairness.

      in TGT just Hunter got a Legendary more. :)

      -> and they got Alexstraza, the explorers are the Highlander classes.

        Yeah, all are skipping this. Ok, other classes can use her too but the highlander support of good classes is the reality.

    i really miss onyxia in this set -

    Veranus,  Waxadred, Nithogg, Zzeraku replace one for ony would be good i think :)

    Maly, Ysera, Nozdormu, Deathwing, Alex and Ony are the classic dragons, why 5/6 coming back :C

      because lore. Onyxia is just the daughter of Deathwing and she's a black Dragon so unless they wanted to give black dragons to two classes she'd never fit in.

          why not? Bronze Dragon's are all about time reversal and stuff so technically you could argue that reversing you to a healthier state is the same as healing.

          That's the idea wiith Nozari. She reverts both players' health to the starting point.

              can't you tell from her seductive scale and voluptous wings?

              but seriously, she is, it's hard to tell with dragons, but the lore doesn't lie

    Is Sathrovarr counting as one of the 5 neutral legendaries? Marin the fox wasn't counting iirc

    at this point I'm kinda feeling the hype.

    There's just so much interesting stuff this expansion.

    I almost regret spending so much dust on meme decks last expansion because this really seems like an expansion where I want to try almost all the legendaries in various decks

     

    Oh well, guess some more Wild cards have to go on the chopping block.

    I know that I may sound insane, but cards are dancing around the website. Like, look at how the spikes of the dragon from the same row can be 1 millimeter lower/higher in one row and Dragonblight Cultist is just somewhere in stratosphere.
    Sorry, I don't know why it bothers me so much.
