What a great card effect. Burgle always had the downside of possibly getting something unusable when they stole from an opponent. This makes the enemy have to rethink the order they play stuff in just to not get killed by their own fireball or charge minion the next turn.
Such an interesting card who's skillful use can swing games. fantastic design.
It's a decent handbuff card. Seems like it wants to be buffed itself too. Hardest part with handbuff stuff is keeping your hand full while playing buffed up minions.
I'd love to see handbuff pushed again this year. I enjoyed the Goons of Gadgetzan a lot and Hireek needs some love too.
In wild it won't see play, because Shadow Visions is better in almost every way, shape and form.
Actually it could with Highlander/Reno decks. This effect is one you would want multiple of in a deck. So having both Visions and Thrive in the deck to make sure you can pull your removals when needed actually makes this a strong inclusion in a Reno deck despite being effective weaker.
Sometimes reprinting a card, even a weaker version, can still find a use.
Very cool redesigns. Really enjoy them keeping true to the old effects. Malygos is the one that changed the most from it's original form but I think it really keeps true to the original "I favor spells/combo" design.
Great start for the core set. This is gonna be a big reveal season between Core and Barrens expansion. Can't wait to get to play with the new stuff. I guess Shadow Hunter Vol'jin will amuse me until then!
p.s. Blizz keep printing more Deathwings! I want an entire deck of nothing but Deathwings. Thanks.
Track really feels good. I usually end an expansion at 2k gold. I'm over 3k and bought the mini-set with gold. So I have more gold than before, I have at least 1 new skin (lvl50), and have more legendaries than normal thanks to the mini-set. I didn't change my play or hunt achievements. Definitely enjoying it. Depending on the skins next set I may buy the pass.
Always love these list. Nice nostalgia trip for me. I didn't play much mage despite it being one of my early characters. Still boosted it for legion because those class stories were mostly good. The mage one I really enjoy for the Dreadlord activity. Felstorm is a real interesting character and getting More from him in and out of hearthstone is needed.
Also Arygos, I forgot about that. But more dragons are always welcome.
I love this guy's art. The old gods are amazingly done. My one wish is that the card art was big enough to fit the tents and other rides they are destroying. I love Yogg smashing the roller coaster, it makes the art feel Darkmoon Faire and not just Whisper's of the Old Gods again.
The full screen arts are just amazing. Look at Wild Pyromancer just stepping over a corpse. So good! These will end up on my desktop wallpaper at some point for sure.
Resurrect is most dominant in Priest. They have the best range in res cards with wide board options like Mass Resurrection or targeted like Eternal Servitude or preemptive with Grave Rune.
Paladin has a more selective resurrect style with Kangor's Endless Army being mech specific or reactive with [Hearthstone Card (Redemtion) Not Found] or Reborn from Making Mummies.
Rally! is a nice mix. Selective but still a wide board (at least early game). Seems very strong with good early deathrattle minions.
Might as well document mine here for comparison next expansion.
I'm just a casual player and usually end up with about 2k gold before an expansion launch. Right now I have 3300. Which I wonder is me buying less packs to save up for the mini set or the achievements pushing extra Xp I didn't have before.
Free to play track at lvl 62 as of 1/18. (hit 50 about 1/10)
I didn't buy the paid track as skins didn't appeal to me. Don't get me wrong I like cosmetics but the level 50 one was enough to satisfy me. Surprised I got it this early I would have guessed it would be closer to feb. I'm enjoying the system overall. Yes there are still things to fix but they are moving in the right direction. Slowly but how else does Blizzard move but slow and deliberate! Ha.
I loved Galakrond's Awakening adding in Shotbot. Kind of a end of the year push to make Making Mummies viable. Wasn't quite enough but seeing Reborn come back and getting that "oh maybe" moment is fun. If this mini-set does push mechanics from the year I'd be very happy. I was already excited for Corrupt to return since I crafted [Hearthstone Card (Y'sharaaj, the Defiler) Not Found].
If they bring back Spellburst I'd be very happy. One of my favorite mechanics. Dormant too was more interesting than I first thought. Another Prime, especially for Demon Hunter, would be welcome too.
Dual-Class being further explored is also a plus. For a smaller set having cards that effect multiple classes is great. If they stick to the same duos I'd be happy. I feel some of them didn't get pushed far enough (Big demons for warlock/dh, or weapons for rogue/warrior). However I love some of your pairings. Attacking for Druid/DH is great. Hero attack druid doesn't get enough love (Gonk, the Raptor). The Impurity Warlock/Paladin made me laugh. That's actually an amazing idea.
N'Zoth, God of the Deep being least popular makes me a bit sad. I love 'build around me' cards like this. I've had a lot of fun experimenting with this card. Hopefully the mini set pushes him just a bit more in a few other classes. (Fingers crossed for a big neutral Totem! ha).
Yea I pulled Kiri but dropped it to o pure spells which has been working well.
I was mostly curious if having Kiri in a deck meant people only run the Eclipses as 1 offs. But I'm now thinking that doesn't matter as I assume the data just checks if it's in the deck not the number of copies.
That's my favorite thing about card games. The puzzle of "will this now work". I saw a deck on here as a hunter, maxima and ancient one combo. I think I now have to craft a Maxima!
Solar Eclipse is one of my favorite cards of this expansion. Though I wonder if the existence of Kiri, Chosen of Elune messes with inclusion rates. Since this card produces the eclipses?
I have seen a lot of decks use it for high cost combos like Cenarion Ward. I however find it having a lot of success midgame to double up card draw or finish of an opponent.
Despite all the negatives surrounding montization, I really enjoy this expansion. This year over all has produced really interesting sets.
I got lucky getting N'Zoth, God of the Deep as my freebie, who I wanted. Now it's down to a coinflip. Maybe wait another day or two see what decks look fun.
I also pulled a High Exarch Yrel. I'm going to mess around with that but I never pulled many other key cards for pure Paladin. Gonna see what I can craft.
Maxima Blastenheimer is on my short list to craft. That deck looks real fun! The other Old Gods are also up there, I do love my Yogg moments.

No Pass

I have mine. You have to remember to enable it in the collection. I keep forgetting.
Some of my favorite games. I think 2, 4 and 5 were my most played. I think 5 I even had an expansion.
Lu Bu was a monster to fight with new characters. Definitely buying the Garash version just for that memory.
Sad my guy isn't here. He had the 2 claws! I wish my ps2 didn't get stolen!

I would love to see Magatha or Nobundo as alternative hero's instead of cards just to get away from orcs for a bit.
Also please blizz give us Therazane!

It's wierd that they are 5/5s. Definitely a bug.
The only thing I can think of is if it's casting all three forms of Wisps.
The "both" spell which would make seven 3/3.
Then the seven 1/1s which it can't do as your board is full.
Then the +2/+2 version. This leaves you with 5/5s.
I havent seen it enough to see if it does this when it casts all Chose One cards. Might be card specific with Wisps of the of Gods.

Inventive combo. Love seeing underused cards like Body Wrapper and Blood of The Ancient One find a home.
Madness at the Darkmoon Faire added these
Rigged Faire Game for Mages
Open the Cages for Hunter
Shadow Clone for Rogue
Oh My Yogg! for Paladin
Scholomance Academy added
Plagiarize for Rogue
I'm that way too. If I like something I'll craft it. Still dust is limited and I'm torn between Maxima Blastenheimer or Tickatus. Both look real fun. Plus I got High Exarch Yrel but have few other strong Paladin cards. Tempted by Lady Liadrin and High Abbess Alura here.
I got lucky getting N'Zoth, God of the Deep as my freebie, who I wanted. Now it's down to a coinflip. Maybe wait another day or two see what decks look fun.
First try Menagerie Deathrattle Hunter. Really fun but tough figuring out the early game defenses.
I got Kiri, Chosen of Elune in my packs but thought without Survival of the Fittest my deck would suffer. So I made a no minion version with just the Solar Eclipseand Lunar Eclipse and wow those cards are amazing. Kiri does have a great summoning animation though!
I also pulled a High Exarch Yrel. I'm going to mess around with that but I never pulled many other key cards for pure Paladin. Gonna see what I can craft.
Maxima Blastenheimer is on my short list to craft. That deck looks real fun! The other Old Gods are also up there, I do love my Yogg moments.
