    I remember asking that about Magic the Gathering some 20 years ago.... <_<    

    I played a little of the online format for the first time in a long time the other day, they have plenty of new things to offer even now.  It's possible to keep these games feeling pretty fresh for a very long time.  The cynic in me would cite that even though there are over 150 cards every set, most of those are filler and will see little play.  Essentially they are designing 30-40 impact cards, some ok to bad cards that utilize new mechanics, and a whole lot of terrible cards to round it out.  This means there is plenty of room to keep this game going.

    Shaman totem that generates a lackey every turn seems to indicate they are pushing a more aggro based swarm shaman as an archetype

    The mana cyclone mage decks could throw this quest in there just fine with no effort really needed.

    Shamans cordially invite token Druid to eat it.  Also dat Hagatha 5 mana token value!  Or really any discover spell card

    Yeah but hunter has been far more focused on deathrattle.  There are few battlecryhunter cards right now at all.  If the Brann card did feature battlecry synergy it would be dead in standard

    Question for the new quests if anyone knows... upon completion to you get a new hero power instantly or is it a card you cast?

    Only negative I see is anti-synergy with Hagatha's hero power.  Otherwise it's fantastic.  The late game controllable value is wonderful for control.

    Fits in nicely with my control shaman (shudderwock value) and dragon warrior

    So if priests can live long enough in standard this is obviously a great control tool.  Will help bundles with Conjuring Mages and an army of magnitized mechs.  Also really screws over the rez pool for paladins with Endless Army.  Been wanting a silence/destroy effect on a card for a while.  An entire board clear is even better.

    So Reno is now just Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura from Predator.

    My guess would be early game drop that can efficiently trade without being able to be cleared by spells.  No rogue backstab or that sort of thing.

    Honestly they just need some battlecry valued card at that cost.  If Conjurer’s Calling pulled a crappy 6/6 out of your 8/8 giant that’ll nerf the deck plenty

    Evergreen secret tech.  Nice, always thought this was needed.  Otherwise they need to keep secret related tech cards in every block

    Quote From GerritDeMan

    I would like to see a format with rotating sets, the included sets should be changed after a set period of time (maybe a month, maybe multiple months, but not longer than that).

    I would also love to have a custom format in which you can set up games yourselves and choose your own rulesets (and maybe choose from tavern brawl rulesets as well?). You could of course allow other players to join, or make it private to friends only. I don't think this will ever happen but one can dream.

    Blizz has created a brawl just for you, and it's really fun ;

    4/5 chance every expansion to get a legend on a base of no packs bought.  Hypothetically that’s really only one expansion out of the 8 that shouldn’t drop a legend.  Pity timers aside you should average opening up a little more than 2 more legends on average.

    Your guess that someone would not get any legends are so low it’s not worth discussing unless you misunderstand how the timers work.  It’s a guaranteed legend in your first 10 packs, not on the 10th pack exactly

    They already discounted the bundle by 75% man... not sure what else you could ask for besides free.

    Great bundle for those getting into wild.  For people playing for a while may not be worth it.  Normally by the time an expansion cycles out of standard I'm pretty happy with my cards from it.  Even the ones I would want would be so specific I wouldn't expect to snag them.

    Frankly, I just don't like the decks being on top at all. it kinda feels like it is forcing everyone to look at them

    wtf that rhyme man? xD but I can agree with the decks vs news

    what rhyme? nothing I said rhymed

    He’s talking about your footnote. It doesn’t stay out that clearly (at least on mobile). Easily confused as a Part of the comment.
