    If it happens at all, I would wager it going up after Kel'Thuzad, the Inevitable exits the shop and Hallow's End rolls around.

    I also share the sentiment towards Blizzard's inaction, so I believe this change is coming too late. However, even if a change is coming late, I don't think that should invalidate the improvement. What matters to me is that they are making strides towards meaningful and significant changes to the game, and yes they could have been faster about it. With that said, they can't go back in time and implement these desperately-needed adjustments a few years ago, so the most they can do now is improve, regardless of how long it took.

    I think it is important to hold them accountable and properly chastise them for their lethargy, and expressing that is valid. I just also find it exhausting to listen to people bitterly holding their past inaction over their head when improvements are being made now and irreverence for changes made in the present. It gives me the impression of someone that will never be pleased, regardless of whether you listen to them or not, because you didn't listen to them before. You're forever irredeemable in their eyes. Again, that's just my perspective, and I see the validity in holding people accountable for inaction; a balance of expecting more and appreciating improvement is key, to me.

    I always loved the energy that Hadidjah brought to any video they were in, so that will be missed! I wish the best in this new chapter of their life along with whatever this new project is. <3

    What do you all think of the change to quests? I understand why the change was made, but personally I would rather be able to reroll for a higher-yielding quest than getting an easier one worth less. Now it sounds like if I ever reroll one I'll get a 50g quest every time.

    That's a different rarity gem on the golden legendary than we're used to. I wonder if it means anything? Or maybe it's just like that to make it seem shinier.

    I'm not sure where else to post this, so I'll do so here: While I did find the final two chapters enjoyable, they were far from challenging, and I found the ending very anticlimactic. (SPOILERS BELOW)

     

     

     

    Icarax itself seems ironically much more tame of a fight than the other Plague Lords, so I think they did themselves a disservice by making it the semi-final boss. Aside from that, the Tekahn fight was the biggest disappointment of all, because everything from the difficulty to even the presentation felt unimpressive. This is a final boss with recycled artwork from a collectible card, no alternate art for different phases, only a small cameo from the frequently-mentioned and anticipated Rafaam (their evil partner), and it's essentially just another Plague Lord. Not only that, but the resolution after the fight feels really sorry. Rafaam is simply gone, we see more (albeit very well-made) recycled artwork and we're told (not shown) Dalaran is also just gone! Shows over! Come back in a few months!

    I apologize if this comes across as bitter or ungrateful; I mean only to sound disappointed, because I'd anticipated a big battle setting up the final chapter of The Year of the Dragon's story. The end of Tombs of Terror was not at all bad, but it was only passable for me. Hopefully, Blizzard gave us a good-enough adventure this time so that they can focus their efforts into really wowing us with the finale.

    Plus, that's the class of the League of EVIL's leader (and their arch-nemesis) Rafaam.

    Conjurer's Calling seems like a symptom of the Mountain Giant problem to me, so I'm not too sure this will have a massive impact. We'll have to see though.

    I'm confused as to why this doesn't just have Echo. Yes, it was a Witchwood-exclusive mechanic, but Rise of Shadows is about throwbacks; this clearly references Hagatha. So, I don't get it. Seems like an okay card though but not one I'd want to open in a pack to be honest.

    A significantly less irritating Pyromancer. I'm open to it.

    It's awesome to see a deck focused on murlocs again. This little fella is definitely one of the key parts that makes the deck possible. I look forward to trying it out!

    If nothing else, I would imagine that the golden card animation for this one will be pretty great. The swirling dark magic in the center seems like it would be wonderful.
