Congrats to the winners! The competition was fun, and it definitely got me more engaged with card reveal season than I have ever been previously.

I have seen a couple streamers opening packs today already, so today appears to be the day.

I only had time for a handful of games in the mode yesterday - feeling a bit burned out after grinding DH to level 60 before the Core set release.

I enjoyed the classic experience. The games felt fun, and decided on a knife's edge - by that I mean they were crazy close, settled by decisions made turns earlier - whether to get a value trade or to push damage when I could. It's not as full feeling as other modes in HS, but it's definitely a place I will enjoy laddering and playing a different feeling brand of HS.

For the record - I love hunter. Hunter was my first class to 500 wins by a long, long shot. I bought the Sylvanas skin the first time she was offered in the shop for cash because a) I thought the art was incredible, b) the price felt reasonable to me, and c) she's such a cool, conflicted character from WoW and HS lore. No disrespect intended to Rexxar, or any other Hunter. I've never regretted the purchase.

I am excited for the rewards track Rexxar skin, looks awesome too.

The only Hunter portrait you'll ever need.

I am halfway through level 318. The last few days I've been grinding (playing a lot of hours) a meme big demon Demon Hunter in dumpster legend (standard) this month trying to get DH leveled up to 60 before Core launches. I have 19,600 gold saved - have not used a coin since Darkmoon Faire's launch day (bought most pack bundles, after using previous gold to supplement pre-ordered DMF packs).

I will buy the Tavern pass again for Forged in the Barrens because I like the XP boost and I think the cosmetics this time around are  excellent. I don't yet know how much of my 19,000+ gold I will use on packs at Barrens launch - I think I will see how my legendary take is after I open my pre-order bundles.

Cool effect, maybe might see play in standard secret paladin.

Poisons seem pretty strong with any rogue weapon that can be buffed for more that 2-3 charges.

Could work nicely in a menagerie archetype in Standard?

This looks like a good zoo card, but it's such a pretty refined archetype. We'll see if it makes the cut.

I think if it were one mana cheaper it would be incredible for a control priest deck. It may still be.

Seems very strong for archetypes that already have a foundation in Druid.

I love handbuff archetypes, also taunt ones. So this is support for both.

This card is one of the few that I am most excited about in this expansion. Really hope that I unpack her!

Seems OK. Strong at higher levels, but do you want to get to that point in the game? I guess it is flexible and a fair cost for that.

This looked very strong at points during the theory-crafting streams that I saw yesterday.

The comparisons to Landscaping are so on point - this is a better card for an aggro, swarm deck.

Very strong card at the higher ranks, and no combo conditionality.

Seems like a good tutor, and as others have said, this is like 2x hero powers for one mana.

It will be a fun archetype to try out - always looking for different ways to approach DH.
