Probably bad because it#s just healing, but the pun is 10/10. Best card in the set. Will define the meme economy for decades.
Witch's Brew saw play, and this is just a straight upgrade over it. Granted, that card wasn't used much past RoS, but I do predict some experimentation.
Small-Time Recruits could stand to be reduced to 2 mana. 2 mana draw 3 with deckbuilding restrictions is pretty much standard nowadays. I also wouldn't mind Crystology coming back instead.
I still stand by this. I don't understand Blizzard's insistence on having some brawls two or three times a year while other fine brawls disappear forever.
Sightless Watcher was always on the precipice of maybe being playable. So, even if you whiff, it's still an okay card. The potential upside of a 3/2 tutor - not just draw, but tutor - puts this into the A tier. The only way this is bad is if Mechs are bad.
I definitely agree with him on the Theorycrafting streams. I don't think they've ever had a meta close to what we get even a week after release. The biggest example I can remember is Ashes, where every streamer was playing Highlander Midrange DH. Then, literally day one and no one was playing that anymore.
I think you're being unfair. SNIP-SNAP is a Boomsday Project card that was printed in a special event during Rise of Shadows. It was okay to have Echo because it rotated to Wild alongside the other Echo cards, which would have left Witch's Brew as the only card in all of Standard to use that keyword. I fully understand Blizzard's reasoning.
However, now that they're all Wild and they're going against that logic, there's no harm in fixing it for consistency.
I really appreciate them doing Orphea and Qhira cards. They could easily just keep pretending Heroes of the Storm doesn't exist, but the little acknowledgements give me hope.
The first time I read this card, I legitimately thought it was a 7/9 with Taunt (it was late, cut me some slack) and I was still unimpressed. This is too synergy-dependent for Arena and too underpowered for constructed. Just a 0/10 card all around.
Am I the only person who's massively underwhelmed by this? It's very expensive, and lack the flexibility of Plague of Death that made that playable (plus how slow the meta was in Year of the Dragon). It's a poor replacement for Soul Mirror as well since it doesn't synergize with Seek Guidance and you can't draw it with Spirit Guide. This'll probably see play because Control Priest needs board clears, but it doesn't impress me much.
Her flavour text mentions that the ship belongs to Captain Hooktusk. No surprise that she's coming back, but I wonder if that means she's a Warrior legendary this time around?

I never realized the Honor quests were faction coloured until now. I just thought they made it blue to look prettier.
I'm dumb.
I mean, Balinda Stonehearth was a Diamond card last set, so the selection seems kind of random.

Suddenly School Teacher's looking a lot spicier.
They're revealing the Core set after the expansion is fully revealed. It's scheduled for April 5th IIRC.

I'm going to lose my mind if they just leave Witch's Brew now. I understand that that's not a problem card, but the inconsistency is going to kill me.

Strongly disagree with that. It's a good card, but "one of the best cards ever printed" would probably see play in Wild.

Technically better Arcane Shot. Whether or not Naga synergies work out, this will see play in Questline Hunter.
That's gonna be difficult considering she has no feet

The 'secretly' mechanic is also on Jandice Barov. It just wasn't bolded on her because consistency is for school dropouts.

If you cheat a Colossal minion out, my dude, it still summons its body parts, my dude, for full value, my dude.
