    I mean if you get that basic 2/2 on turn one alongside 1 drop or alongside an already strong turn in a token style deck it could potentially be pretty devastating.

    I mean for me, while I don't think the deck is winning hard against anyone else most likely, hero power druid is basically an instant loss if you play anything resembling control. They gain so much life that you can't actually work through their armor, and they do it while slamming your face and/or removing any threat you put on the board. I would not be surprised if the deck loses to a lot of the top dogs in the meta but for my shitty Tess rogue and things like it, I don't know how to handle the amount of armor and damage they get entirely for free every turn.

    I sorta worry that rather than adjust to a minion based meta though a lot of decks will just...keep doing the degenerate garbage that the meta is already doing.

    Seems potentially interesting? I mean I'm not likely gonna play it cus just like the Sion deck I find it really depressing, but that is more a taste thing then it is a strength thing. Not sure how impactful husks will end up being, the random aspect of it makes it hard to really plan around effectively, but perhaps that won't matter and the impact of getting these keywords will be enough. Also Allure is Demacian? Not sure why that is.

    Absolutely no idea why this is Demacian.

    Not sure any of these seem particularly impressive. 2 damage for 2 mana is pretty decent but at slow speed its not likely going to cut it, especially since its likely most often going to fit into a deck style that can run the 1 mana spell that deals 2 if you have a certain amount of units on board. I can see a world where rite of passage has potential but it likely only does if it is doing something degenerate and I'm not sure there is anything degenerate to do with it right now.

    Looks weak to me but maybe getting Neptulon or Onyxia  2-turns early is strong enough for it to matter.

    Not sure you'd want Onyxia since she would just be an 8/8 with rush

    Frankly if something punishes combo decks in wild I consider that a win. I don't expect this to make a big enough impact in wild for that to matter though.

    Honestly there isn't much to make her feel 'just like the game' here. I'd say that the translation is pretty minimal for the most part but that is bound to happen when you are making this sort of transition. That being said I'm not thrilled with her myself but I tend to be a control deck style of person (one of the reasons I've been playing less and less of LoR).

    I find the idea pretty cool that they are adding items from LoLs as spells now and then, but that doesn't seem like it will be a strong card unless it is to directly counter something like vulnerable.

    The thing that worries me with this comment is that they don't entirely say the way in which they intend to go about adding 'incentive' for board based game play. If they don't intend to remove the mechanics that allow games to be put on a clock so consistently then are they going to have to power creep the hell out of these decks in order to ensure that these combo decks can't out pace them? I am not saying this is the plan but I don't see how they can assure us of anything without that being the case. What if they add all these incentives but players just find it is easier to kill people with a guaranteed win-con instead of actually fighting for the board? I don't really want the warlock quest to warp the meta so that they have to always be trying to out pace it in some way when something like that should never have existed in the first place. I don't even know if the warlock quest is that prevalent since I stopped playing all that often, but I do know that if it is bad it is because they have been forcing it to be bad rather than just addressing the problem and moving past it.

    Really? Huh, that is interesting then....and mildly concerning.

    A lot of these attachment fae are egregiously over costed and due to that I don't really see any of them being played beyond Yuumi herself and maybe quick quill...but you have to remember that none of these get to be played as combat tricks. They don't get to be played mid combat or something like that. The fact that you get the buff back in hand is a definite upside but the tempo loss if you buff a unit and then have it killed with a spell or even silenced is pretty intense.

    Indeed he was. That being said you make a good point. It could be that I'm wrong or it could be that he will come with an odd affiliation we haven't considered like as you said, Freljord. It could also be that he is released later on as a card in the same vein as Jayce or Viego.

    Am I the only one who actually thinks there is a strong chance Ivern shows up in this set? With the Grandfather Fae he seems pretty fitting. I could see there being him and Yuumi as a fae champion support duo.

    I don't see how anything is ever obvious when discussing on the internet. I know very little about Flux, and I don't know their perspective. It seemed obvious to me but I wasn't sure how obvious it was to someone else.

    As for whether it is trivial I don't see anything wrong with discussing literally anything so long as someone wants to discuss it, not that anyone necessarily does want to. That said they have stated that it is something they are thinking about twice now, so considering the ways in which they might go about it isn't that unreasonable.

    By buying into it do you mean that you have to pay in order to play it? I'm not sure I'd agree with that. I can see a world where you pay to get the cards like you said but I would want to allow players who already have those cards to use them without needing to pay. I've never dusted a card that I didn't hate the game play design for and I'd like to be rewarded for keeping my collection if I could.

    Rotating set format for me is an important one...but also one I gave up on expecting to see any time soon. The fact that meta's get so stagnant in both standard and wild though would really make this a welcome place to go to for a change that also allowed old collections to be used without having to bend to the absurdity of the wild meta quite as much.
