    A new god for the Arena pantheon? Jokes aside, this packs a punch, and could very well hold its own in standard. Popping off 6 damage, even across bodies, is always great, and Troublemaker has a good chance to stick around with its statline. If this comes out any earlier than Turn 7 it could be devastating.

    Shaman is my favourite class to play, and I often find that I just want to keep casting underpriced, powerful spells! This card certainly helps, and gives a 2/3 body to boot.

    Two words: power & creep.

    In the right deck, this is a great target for buffs, and the Hearthstone team has been trying to push Priest in a more "tempo/aggro" direction. This is not the card to singlehandedly accomplish that, but it's a step towards a better early game.

    I'm not sure where this card will fit in; perhaps the rest of the Paladin set will make this more obvious. That said, 0-mana spells are Dark Horses. This could end up being a fantastic value-generator. On the flip-side, it might just be meh. After Turn 4/5, this is probably a dead draw.

    I'm torn as to whether this card is good, or excellent. Judging by the great stats for 3 mana AND a Divine Shield, this will no doubt find a home in any Paladin deck worth its salt. Of course, it remains to be seen how impactful Spellburst is, but a second Divine Shield can't possibly be bad, right?

    Not much to say here, other than that this is a solid Discover card. Druid spells can be nifty in a pinch (buffs and healing are always welcome) and the 1 mana discount on the next one cast is just a bonus. Methinks it'll function somewhat like Raven Idol did in the days of yore.

    At (10), this is slow, perhaps even for the mana-ramping rulers of the Inn, but 4/4 turns small minions into strong minions, and big minions into giant problems. I do think this'll see play even if its host deck doesn't make it to S/A-tier. Plus: playing big minions feels great. I'll definitely toy around with this in the first few weeks of the expansion.

    Does anyone know what this turquoise teddy is?

    I've noticed it in a few pieces of card and promotional art. Is it Warcraft lore-related, or a Hearthstone original "cute thing in spooky set"?

    Pretty nifty effect I haven't encountered anywhere before. Makes me wonder if 9/9 do-nothing on Turn 9 is worth it though?

    Also: has this card's text been misspelled on purpose? Shouldn't it be "resummon"?

    Here's hoping!

    Really happy to see the addition of gold packs; I'm a collector and would love this option. Crafting a golden legendary just isn't as satisfying as seeing it burst free from its leathery casing.

    There is something enticingly mysterious about this announcement clip. My interest is piqued...

    Took me a while to work out danger noodle. Hadn't a clue that was an actual meme :P

     

    I have a class. I have a tribe. I could also have none, or another if I tried.

    What am I?

    I had never watched or heard of Byron until I read this, but my heart goes out to all those close to him, and all those ever touched by him. My mother committed suicide barely 3 years ago and the pain continues to ripple across my everyday life; even so, I can only begin to imagine how much this will affect those who knew him. Every story is different.

    It's a shameful reflection of some online cultures that online harassment has and continues to have such a dramatic effect, especially on vulnerable individuals who may already be navigating personal, psychological struggles. To anyone in this community who is or has fallen upon the hardest of times, I do hope this is a safe, kind space for you, and that you experience nothing but good nature and high spirits whilst here.

    Be kind. Stay strong.

    Rest easy, Byron.

    Gorillabot A-3!

    lot's of blood = gore

    *don't speak Latin*

    machine = bot

    apple's initial = A

    approximately pi = 3

    Nice one :-)

    Fantastic, you got it! The Latin word for 'that' in the feminine gender is illa, hence the clue :)

    Over to you!

    Not the card I'm thinking of; however, your thoughts on 'approximately Pi' and 'lots of blood' are both correct.

    Nope, although I see some of the clues in this guess :) You're on the right track

    Animated Berzerker?

    Afraid not.

    Hint: 'All behind' indicates that the first sentence is actually the second part of this card's name.
