Well they're technically giving us a new mode for the anniversary, as HS Battlegrounds is out for everyone on Nov 12th (so just one day before the anniversary)
I've also been trying Hearthstone contenders everytime they come out, generally sticking to them for a few months.
This is the first contender where I got bored and logged out after just 3-4h, despite being quite into the LoL universe. Other games made me stay up all night xD
I just cannot see what unique interesting stuff Riot is adding that isn't in HS / MTG. I could see it in Gwent (no face, 3 rounds) or in Artifact (3 lanes). The fact that I perceive f2p-friendliness to be this game's biggest asset makes it very iffy. Hope they prove me wrong.
If faceless were a tribe, I'd be scared. Even the worst faceless minions are decent, while their highlights are nuts. Case in point, they managed to make a rager playable.
Always been a fan of control warlock, too bad it's too expensive for a Twisting Nether combo. Also, all these interesting mechs suggest warrior (namely Dr. Boom, Mad Genius) could get a bit out of hand if the meta permits.
Joybuzz is an actual buzzkill, not looking forward to Malygos combos against me. Praying they'll at least print weaker or no stall now that Branching Paths and Psychic Scream are rotating out.
Re: mech issue for Omega Defender- they've just touched upon this in their reveal stream. Said they removed the mech tag due to the insane synergy it would've had with Zilliax. Which does make a lot of sense, 15 dmg lifesteal rush would have made lots of people uninstall...
Prismatic Lens + Carnival Clown = Cheese, a surprisingly potent wild meme.
Now with Rise to the Occasion for you to stall with!
Fave moment: Playing Zihi Hunter and slapping Mojomaster Zihi before opponents' combo turns. Also multiple Zihis per game thanks to Stitched Tracker
Looking fwd to: new flavourful cards that spring up fond memories of my time playing WoW.
Who needs Oasis Surger? :O
Printing this makes me think they want to Hall of Fame Malygos in April so they're giving us one last dance.
So this Invoke effect will help complete Hack the System, right? Interesting.
Great card, but can this and Waxadred make us abandon our tempo rogue shenanigans?
Having played during Gadgetzan, this triggers my PTSD.

Of course I wouldn't mind additional stuff :)
To each their own.

Too bad Twilight's Call is rotating out, the Corrupted Healbot OTK deck was sweet back in Kobolds.
Glad this is printed as Deathstalker Rexxar rotates. Having this create yet another out for hunters would have been too much.
Turn 9 Alexstrasza turn 10 Archmage Vargoth + 2 x Mind Blast? Then Mind Blast nerfed / Hall of Famed as it's been haunting faces for too long? xD
Meme-wise, this seems great for trying to draw your Renounce Darkness
Will have to train my brain to play around this in Arena. A neutral boardclear, more or less.
Good to see more combo disruption. Mojomaster Zihi last expansion, now both this and Hecklebot. Expectations exceeded :O

Will probably replace the underwhelming Ticket Scalper in the Captain Hooktusk rogue deck.
Simultaneously helps thief rogue get weapon / Tess charges against other rogues.
Spot-on card!
