  Are we going to get the quest log filled again when the new reward track hits?

  If so: I'm going to complete every quest I have before tomorrow;

  If not: I'd keep the quests in order to gain the experience in the new track.

  Does anyone know how it is going to work?

  Highly unlikely, Team 5 has never been generous about bonus XP

  I want to know this too.

  I guess there is no refill for weekly Quests. Because one of my weekly quest is to play 3 legendary minions from FitB.

  But for Daily Quest, it would be good to know.

  Why there is still missing release date?

  I can't believe Caravans aren't listed in the Quick Info section as an exciting new kind of card.

  Oh, wait, yes I can.

  Interestingly enough, spell schools are not heavily supported in the expansion that introduces them. Some spell schools have no supporting cards at all.

  Arcane - Nothing

  Fire - Nothing

  Frost - Rimetongue

  Nature - Toad of the Wilds, Guff Runetotem, Bru'kan

  Holy - Knight of Anointment, Cariel Roame, Veteran Warmedic, Spirit Healer

  Shadow - Tamsin Roame

  Fel - Nothing

  I think that the concept of spell schools opens up cool design space, but as of right now I'm not seeing enough of it to warrant it as much of a deck strategy. A feature, not a core concept. Hopefully future expansions will lend more support to this idea.

  They said they will had more spell school synergies in the mini set. So be patient ! Also, it is a permanent change so they will be able to add some synergy along along the game life. I guess they are most likely to add a little each expansion and focus on big expansion interaction like murlocs were they added a tons of cards to make sure it is viable

  For Nature and Holy at least, there's definitely a need to build around the concept if you want to take advantage of the payoffs.

  Arguably, Frost and Freeze are so intertwined that they form a strategy even though it's not explicitly tied together by the school concept.

  Tamsin Roame is more of a Shadow package than a build-around, for sure.

  They have stated that they wanted to start it off a bit slowly and then expand on it with the mini-set and further expansions.

  With all cards revealed we can see which archetypes are forced:

  DH - deathrattle - new archetype, doesn't look strong, but DH can transform everything into cancer

  Druid - taunt - good that Hadronox isn't in standard, can be painful to fight against, especially with Greybough

  Hunter - beast - will beast hunter be good enough? Dunno, he gets some draw mechanics but looks like he will end with aggro/midrange deck. Also I smell OTK deck with Tavish

  Mage - hero power - last time played in Rastakhan's Rumble, because legendary. Now it gets even better legendary and more HP support, so definitely will see play

  Paladin - secret - secret paladin was a thing because of Mysterious Challenger and good secrets. Will new cards be enough to bring back him form ashes? We will see

  Priest - spell/heal - dunno, more healing and synergy is good, but most new spells looks underwhelming

  Rogue - weapon/poison - will be cancer for sure, at least there is no Kingsbane in standard, ooze in every deck

  Shaman - murloc - new murlocs looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure they will be a thing without Underbelly Angler. Murlocs can be hyperaggro but they will burn your hand pretty fast and shaman doesn't have good draws or hand refills.

  Warlock - burn - combo breaker and a cancer

  Warrior - taunt/frenzy - taunt can be pretty solid, but I'm not sure with frenzy

  "Forced" is so overused these days. These aren't so much "forced" archetypes as just giving archetypes enough support so they aren't dead-on-arrival.

  Ikr, I really don't understand why community keeps using it.
  
  Isn't it how expansions themed ? For example, "This time; Freeze for Mage, Taunt for Warrior, Dragons for Hunter etc."
  
  They use "Force" instead of "Theme". Noone is forcing anyone to play anything. There is Wild if you insist.
