Pretty decent card, it's just not the type of thing I'd want to run in a deck. DH just has better tools to heal with Aldrachi Warblades and Eye Beam, as well as better removal such as Immolation Aura and Blade Dance. All that said, I'd expect this card to be coming up once in a while just because Wandmaker is pretty decent in DH.
Didn't know Dave was the inspiration for Hearthstone's main character. Never was a huge fan of the announcement videos since they just weren't for me, but here's hoping Blizzard can find someone with as much energy to keep them enjoyable for a lot of people.
As for him moving onto a new studio, excited to find out what he's working on eventually, here's hoping it is something good!
I don't remember reading any changes about this so it should still be the same as it has always been. This means that either the game needs to go to 10 turns for both players, or someone's health goes below 15. Assuming you just played normal matches, I don't see why the games wouldn't complete at least one of these, but it is the only explainable reason I can think of.
Card seems pretty cool. Hard to evaluate how swingy The turn you play this would be since we do not know the rest of The corrupted cards, but I can see this being at The top end of some control deck fitting The same role as DQ Alex played before she got nerfed.
One thing that I'm not a fan of is how this card just capitalized The. What The heck blizzard, this alone made this card The worst in the set and I'm not down to negotiate this.
As of now, we do not know. As we get closer to the launch date of them on November 12th, we'll most likely get more information but until then, everything would just be speculatory. I personally think it might tie into the whole progression tree, earning you new stuff whenever you'd get certain milestones of points, but we'll just have to wait and see.
As someone who's been jamming control priest in standard a ton recently, definitely can see this card being a very large taunt without much hassle. Issue is just that why would you want to run a taunt like this when the deck cannot really utilize it well. Maybe just as a tool to stonewall out aggressive stuff? I don't know, just feels kinda pointless to me when they can just run stuff that synergies with the deck more.
The whole "all items up to your current level on the free track" part I'm fairly certain would only apply to the paid track and if it isn't, it is a fairly large oversight.
Good question, I'd assume that some of them are retroactive, such as the Arena 12 win runs, but until it gets added to the game or we get actual confirmation of whichever works, we can't be for sure.
Don't worry, with the new progression system, a new hero can be unlocked for every class for free. It is another Valeera skin, so I know some people aren't a fan of that, but atleast it's something, right?
I like these nerfs a bit. Astromancer Solarian is very much an "I win the game" card against a lot of decks and so I'm fine with it being a bit slower to let other classes have a bit more time to close out the game before she inevitably drops. As for Evocation, the card is still great and will see play for sure. The reason why I love this change is that it prevents Evocations from being cast 4+ times with Cobalt Spellkin and Wandmaker, which as far as I'm concerned was the big issue with the card, at least in Standard. I'm not familiar with the WIld metagame right now aside from the fact I've heard from Avalon that Sorc's apprentice is stupid so I'll just take his word that something will still need to happen to it.
Personally, I've always been a huge fan of the White King and so I'm very happy that he's been back for all three times, but I can understand why people would be annoyed about him appearing again. Honestly, it feels like he's one of the more unique heroes they've made for these brawls in the past and want to have each boss play as differently as possible.
Yeah from what I've heard so far, this book of heroes is significantly more difficult compared to the Jaina one. I personally struggled against Misha, only winning because the hero power killed their own creature which had lethal otherwise, and Gronn, which was the only one I lost to. Going off of what other people have said, it definitely feels like this one is a lot more RNG reliant, with Daelin being able to snowball out of control for some people, or in my case, not playing any minions until his hero power, which at that point the hero power and whatever board I had already could just handle all his boats.
I definitely do think having the hero power not kill the boats in one shot is fine, but it definitely could have been something more useful. with the same case being true for the final fight, where the hero power legitimately is just worthless.
I like a lot of these changes, rag, maiev, and jandice all being in a way is pretty nice, though I still think Jandice got off the hook a bit easily. as well as Maiev still being very strong, The changes to elementals are pretty nice, Nomi is still a great option for elementals, although he is usually much less explosive than Rag is so hopefully they can bring back pirates and demons from the grave. The selfless and spore nerfs are justified for sure, but that won't stop me from being upset that scam builds won't be as easy anymore.
As someone who thought that this card would be incredibly busted, I feel like there were a few reasons why my evaluation of the card was way off. The biggest reason comes in the form of Voracious Reader, which just wasn't revealed at the time when everybody was hyping it up. When the two are compared, it is kind of laughable how bad Glide is for more aggressive lists when you can spend two less mana for the same effect with a body stapled onto it.
The other main issue that hurts the card is that Skull of Gul'dan is more often than not still the better card draw spell as it will almost always be good to cast, while Glide has some matchups where its less than desirable. This is also where the meta comes into play, with it being weak to some ofo the more prevalent decks in the meta, like face hunter.
All this being said, Glide still has been toyed around with, being featured in some incredibly aggressive DH decks that have their curve top off at 3 with two copies of Glide and the Reader just because it spewed out it's hand absurdly fast so I do think there is some room for the card to see play later on. That and it did put in a ton of work against some decks, like Guardian Animal Druid as forcibly mulliganing the opponents hand before they cast their main win condition is pretty decent.

Here's some hints for the last two magic clues.
For the first one...
As for the second one...
Good luck!

Good luck with the mythgard and MTG ones!
As Demon said, it's definitely the type of clue that in hindsight makes a lot of sense. As for a hint...
Good luck!
Can't say anything about Mythgard, but for Magic there should be something coming out soon that should hopefully help solve some clues.
Almost all of them are cards, though there are a few non card answers for...

Wouldn't put Zephrys on the same tier as Reno as there's a lot more work to get the triples, still feels pretty decent though.
