    Hm. If the "added to your hand" cards count as cards created by the deathrattle, that suggests that a golden Enthusiastic Banker gives you golden cards, even if the cards she "stored" weren't golden.

    What? I like shiny things 😕

    Any word about when we can open our packs? I don't remember if they had virtual pre-release parties for Forged in the Barrens, and I can't find any news stories about it (I can find stories for Darkmoon Faire). Did they just let everyone open their packs the weekend before, or did people have to create fireside gatherings, or did they not let people open packs early?

    I wonder -- does either the "store a card" or the Deathrattle's "add to your hand" count as a drawn card for purposes of the Demon Hunter questline?

    Per that link, "Trading does not count as playing a card." So I'd assume that like e.g. using a hero power, trading a card doesn't activate combos.

    Yes, Bliz has confirmed this. The sequence is:

    1. The tradeable card is set aside (freeing a space in your hand if you'd had 10 cards)

    2. You draw the top card on your deck (e.g. if you used a peek-at-next-card feature to see what it was), so, not the card you just traded

    3. The tradeable card is shuffled into your deck, randomizing the deck order

    One general synergy worth noting, any tradeable card synergizes with any card-draw-related effects. You can draw a card for one mana, which might let you trigger a "cast on draw" spell, trigger an "on drawing a card" effect, etc.

    Ooh, shiny! Could you also add golden versions of the generated cards? (In particular, the Adventurers?)

    What do we know about the Dream cards Archdruid Naralex gives? Are these the same as Ysera’s cards?

    He works as a counter to Taelan Fordring, especially if your opponent has a small hand. Kill Taelan to make them draw a strong minion, then eat the minion with Mutanus… would that work in real life?

    [UPDATE: The author incorporated this into the page, thanks!]


    A couple of notes, since this page is a little out of date...

     

    • The JSON import is now destructive -- i.e. it clears your entire collection, then replaces it with whatever's in the JSON. You no longer need to request a manual reset. (This is very handy for those of us with Macs, since the JSON approach is the only bulk option we have right now.)
    • If you do need to reset your collection manually for some reason, there's actually a way to do it yourself. Just go to My Hearthstone collection -> Edit collection. When you land there, the default search shows all your cards (every set, every rarity). Click the Bulk Remove Filtered From Collection button, and it will remove all those cards from your collection. Since these are all your cards, that leaves your collection empty.

    You randomly got a golden random that gives you golden randoms, so, on point

    If I buy a bundle now, can the legendary be one of the newly-returned-to-classic legendaries (Ragnaros, Sylvanas)? Or should I wait until Barrens launches?

    TRANSGENDER CHARACTER IN HEARTHSTONE POSSIBLY :o!?!  

    Apparently that is precisely what's going on--the Hearthstone twitter account RTed this, saying Varden is non-binary.

    I hope tht Hearthstone’s first non-binary character, the Blood Elf Mage Varden Dawngrasp, and their bestest friend Bru’ka the Troll Shaman are having a good day.

    Is the stolen health done as damage, or as an enchantment? eg If I target a Molten Giant and reduce it from 8/8 to 4/4, is it a damaged 8-health minion (who can be healed) or a fully-healed 4 health minion (who could be brought back to 8 health with silence)?

     

    I assume it’s a enchantment but I’d love confirmation...

    My understanding is, for cards that got changed, the changed version is the only thing that's available in standard or wild, and the original version is available in classic.

    If they wanted both versions to be available, they'd give a new name to the new card and leave the old card in wild, the way there's Deathwing in Classic and Wild, and Deathwing the Destroyer in Core.

    AIUI, if you don't have it in your collection, you can use it for free in all modes (classic, standard, wild) as long as it's in core, and if it leaves core you'd have to craft it to play it in wild or classic. Not 100% sure about that, though--you might have to own it to use it in classic?

    Looking at the page on PlayHearthstone.com, it lists "INFERNO!" under "related cards", which is the old familiar 2-mana "summon a 6/6 infernal". But the page may be showing some out-of-date info, it lists "cost to craft/disenchant" and you don't need to craft core cards? (Unless you need to craft it if you want to play the classic version in classic mode?) Something to watch, I guess.
