Scabbs, Xyrella, and Bru'kan (And obviously Tamsin) aren't present within the trailer at all, not even during the scene with the heroes shadows.

Cariel however is so we can assume she survived being pulled off the bridge.

My bet is that our boy Bru'kan doesn't make it to Onyxia and dies defeating Tamsin, Xyrella and Scabbs might go on to save Xyrella's daughter instead of fighting against Onyxia.

Very cool set, would be a lot of fun to see something similar in game.

I do think Baby Y'shaarj could be a bit too restrictive. No 0-3 cost cards means you'll probably lose game 1 and 2, his ability is also super slow since it does nothing if he's played on Turn 5. I could see it working if the restriction was to minions that cost (5) or more, or if you want to get really funky you could make the restriction (4) or less so you're encouraged to pick big cards in your buckets.

Still a great set :)

Examples feel off, Scrap Golem was printed with all of the Taunt Warrior synergies still in standard to support that archetype and Zai, the Incredible was just a general value Legendary for slower DHs.

I can see Shaman going a "Master of the Elements" route and receive encouragement to play with Fire, Frost, and Nature.

Darkmoon Races was Darkmoon's miniset and was race themed.

That's Xuen, the White Tiger, he's an August Celestial (Part of the Pandaren pantheon essentially)

https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Xuen

Definitely didn't expect the August Celestials to be distributed this way.

Chi-Ji I always thought would be for Rogue, but Mage kinda fits.

Yu'lon I thought they'd save for the addition of a Monk class but Shaman makes second most sense.

Xuen I definitely thought would be Paladin.

Niuzao (The Black Ox) being for Hunter makes the least sense to me, 100% would think he'd be associated with Warrior.

My guess is that these associations were made because Rogue, Paladin, and Warrior already got their Lunar New Year skins. All of these look really cool though!

It's cosmetics. This is literally the stuff we'd want to be overpriced.

Yeah this complaining about a "lack of communication" is silly. Most of the devs are stuck right in the middle of the whole debacle.

Yeah 3 seems way too insane. Very often I've seen people concede after getting two mercs murked turn 1. Not getting chests for that is gonna feel like garbage.

She's probably the Bob/Harth of Mercenaries, guides you on your quest and through the gamemode's tutorial.

It definitely wasn't low power, sure Gadgetzan had a bunch of filler cards but the many strong cards it did have defined the meta game until they rotated out. Highlander stuff and Jade was top tier until it rotated, Patches was in every deck, Small-Time Buccaneer was another meta defining card until its nerf.

Set was busted and in a super unbalanced way, I loved the theme though.

I doubt people asking about anime takes away from him talking about hearthstone. What we really need are more food based questions.

This Natalie Seline looks much younger so I'm guessing it's her starting portrait that represents her early pre cult times.

No it doesn't.

Like every rpg xp gain scales with the level of the content you face.

Uther's a Caster? He must be a Holy Paladin with buffs and healing then.

Aggro Hunter has been the best deck in standard since scholomance and has received one nerf.

Masterful set!

The card design is amazing through and through.

The theming and flavor of the set as a whole is definitely rough, but many individual cards carry with them their own wonderful stories. There's definitely some balance issues and the overall story feel convoluted. Small misses like that are definitely out weighed by the heavy hitter designs though, in particular I love the familiar cycle and many of the unique weapons. House of Madness, Protective Fosora, Dark Magic, Sahaquiel, Armored Packrhino, Drink of Kings, and Smuggler's Pinata are probably my favorites.

Feels like you just outright kill most of them by increasing the rewards by 2 mana.

Celestalon did say that Auctioneer Quest Mage would be on the list if more people played it and more people played it well.
