Only a few of these signature cards look better than their original versions. I really do not want these cards 'polluting' my card collection. I might skip the mega-bundle completely if I cannot disenchant these.
I have to wonder how this works with [Hearthstone Card (C'thun the Shattered) Not Found]. Will C'thun be 'consumed' before he breaks into 4 pieces thereby eliminating the whole draw and play all 4 pieces process? I guess it is fine either way for wild although it could be problematic in duels mode.
I do not want to see the reborn keyword back in the game ever again. Kharut Defender, Making Mummies (paladin quest), and the priest reborn spell are not fun to play against. The design leads to turtley strategies that abuse the unbalanced copy/res mechanic.
I do want to see an undead tribe that reflects lifesteal healing back onto the hero as damage instead. This would be a healthy nerf to lifesteal in general as well as neutralize the powerlevel of Sire Denathrius himself. The Sire would probably disappear for a while considering everyone and their brother will be playing the deathknight class for at least the first week or 2. No nerf needed at this point. Also as a downside undead minions should be able to be damaged by basic healing ( spells, battlecries, etc.). C'mon Team 5, this is not the first RPG game anyone has played and it is not too complex for the users!
As far as the hero power goes I don't have any specific idea on what it might be, but I know I do NOT want it to be anything random. I would like to see at least 3 different powers at 1,2,and 3-mana cost where the most costly one that you can afford to play is active. For example, you start your turn 7 with 7 mana and the 3-cost hero power is active. You know you have lethal if you can change the power to the 1-cost power. So you play the 6-cost card or two 3-cost cards and when you do have 1 mana left, the power flips to the 1 mana hero power. I really want something unique and versatile that make you think about how to navigate turns and deck building rather than have another boring 2-cost power.
I would like to see their take on the novel/movie 'Journey to the center of the Earth'. The mechanic would be alternating tribal tags. For example, a card could be an elemental while in you hand, but a beast when it hits the board. Locations could also be appropriate here.
Last year on the reward track for better or worse (mostly worse), we got multiple portraits for all the mercenaries. It gave us a little variety at least. So for this expansion surely we will get the legendary inhabitants (not the suspects) of the mansion, right? No, well ok, then who are we getting then? No.. No... No .... not another Maiev .... and Nemsy.... and Lunara too.... and Arrana as well. BLIZAAAAAARRRRD!!!!!!
Seriously who the fuck at HQ likes these characters this much and why do we need so many versions of them?! On the plus side at least we get another version of Sylvanas. Can't get enough versions of her. Liadrin is alright as well.
So this is the stale old 'here's the new keyword' 5 mana 5/5 meme. Except this time Blizzard is upping their game to see how many times they can put the number 5 on a card. I'm sure a few employees are chuckling at this but I'm not. I'll tip my cap to you if this sees competitive play outside of arena, but for now the joke isn't funny anymore. Neither are the 4 mana 7/7s and the 5 mana 8/8s and the completely unoriginal Gorgon companions.
Plaese stop recycling the same stat lines over and over again especially for higher cost minions. It makes your game feel formulaic and gives the impression that the fragile template will collapse if these statlines are not adhered to. No one likes buying the same cards over and over again. Show some originality. Your template is showing Blizzard!
This is one of the best card dumps I've seen. My excitement level went from 2 to 4. My excitement level started at an 8 after the initial Renethal reveal and skeleton mage stuff. After that though the regular daily reveals seemed disappointing especially the legendaries.
This seems crazy along with [Hearthstone Card (Bibliomyte) Not Found]. Outcast cards will be getting their bonus effect a lot closer to 100% of the time now. It feels like one of these cards should have been random to reduce the efficiency.
Highly doubt the devs would let you do this in the deck construction phase. This type of experimentation is what modes like duels are for. We don't know what is coming in the next 4 expansions. Cheap paladin secrets would be very abuseable with combo cards. I also can't imagine how unfun pirate rogue in wild would be against Freezing Trap and Explosive Runes. I do not think Ice Block is that problematic nowadays.
They would probably take the safe route and make a legendary that converts your current spells in hand into secrets from other classes or just shuffle 5 random secrets into your deck.
I really like the 'play on words' type cards like Dew Process. I wish they would make more of those. Also there better be a strong Scooby Doo reference on one of the cards not just a voiceline.
Recasting them would be too similar to Jace. I said shuffle into the deck because I think the devs want the Questline to be the engine of the deck where given enough turns everything you draw will basically be free.

Ah! I should have seen this coming. They wanted the suspects to be paid cosmetics and put the usual characters on the reward track.
I'm rooting for that tempo warrior deck. It would be nice to see a dedicated frenzy deck be relevant again.
Paid Pass. I'll stop at 217. I'm pretty satisfied considering I took some breaks to play other games this expansion.
I just logged in on PC. I still have the stormwind questline quest.

Pretty good if the meta is a token/midrange. I could see it as a finisher in a more defensive Renethal deck.

Too bad no one plays Bittertide Hydra anymore in wild. I guess you could discount it along with Silas Darkmoon for the meme OTK.
I like this archetype. Why don't they do the pure thing for other classes as well?
I find this one uninspiring. Also in no way shape or form is that an elemental. It is clearly a mech.

I guess the Entrapped Sorceress died behind bars and became the Dispossessed Soul.
