I hope not, taking in account the relatively high amount of luck that is still involved in most of the matches played in HS. 😉

There are some fine lists here.

Just one thing: Imho every Priest deck should run the maximum allowed number of Shadow Word: Death, at least in the first few days of the Demon Hu… sorry Ashes of Outland Meta.

Erm … more ‘read, guys’ than ‘read carefully’… No offense here, but how did you come to the conclusion that Doomsayer gets HoFd? No card even has a similar sounding name. Just asking because I’m curious. :/

Just a comment: The returning player experience is a very good thing, but … I alone have 2 friends who haven’t played a single game of HS in the last 6 months. BUT they logged in once in a while to do updates.

So I think it would be very clever from Blizzard if they’d done it that way: Not if you have logged in, but if you haven’t played any game mode during that period.

I think the decks are (unintentionaly?) sorted from best to worst – with the exception of all in aggro because, well, aggro sometimes just wins more than it should.

The first deck really looks great. Very high power level.

If Pit Commander pulls Antaen, it’s ‘just’ a 10/6, right? It doesn’t enter the battlefield dormant, it has to be played from hand to go dormant!?

Wait, what… ‘adding winstreak bonuses in the high non-Legend ranks’…

So, there’s the possibility for a winstreak right ’til you hit legend? No more grinding like it was from ranks 5 to 1? OMG… I actually might want to hit Legend again, then. 😉

If you play any discovered secret from a non-rogue class, you might. 😉 Bamboozle isn’t too shabby, btw.

It’s just a 1/2 priority target because the replicated slime won’t have the card text of the original (if it has, this is the most inconsistant worded card in all HS).

And a 1/2 is removed 100% of the time, every time.

I think it’s better in many ways.

The main problem though is that it’s too expensive. Maybe of use in some slower buff decks (yeah Librams), but is that good? I really don’t know. In a nutshell, this is a 2 star card imho.

Except it’s not a Kobold Librarian. 😉 Because Turn 5 (sometimes 4) is not Turn 1.

Still good card, though.

I make the bold prediction that all Dormant minions with no ‘Battlecry’ are unplayable solely because those cards are 100% terrible as a topdeck. More so if it’s a minion like this one which is totally useless when played after turns 2-3.

A 1 mana minion that u can run in ResPriest sure is better than you might think.

Funny thing is that you usually wanna get rid of aggressive minions and want to keep utility minions – which tend to have higher toughness than power, usually.

So, the card saves your ass when you’re behind and evens value against slower opponents.

I like it.

I revisited this card… bonkers with almost every Mage deck (talking Wild mainly). Even with some sort of Hand Giant thing, fills your hand to max and maybe gives 1-2 spells you can use in that turn.

Crazy good in Quest Mage.

And then there is this new Sorcerer Apprentice spell that reduces all spells in your deck by 1…

Makes sense (answer to Vashj). Thanks for your detailled reply!

Answer to myself… maybe Pure Paladin with the ‘Libram extension’ is the way to go…

And here we have it… our ‘Blizzard built a deck for you’ for this expansion.

– All playable Librams
– All cost reducers
– Lady Liadrin

plus the usual suspects (draw, Lifegain, Taunt, Finisher).

Not saying it’s good, but the concept looks promising.

For the first expansion in the New Year, it sure delivers. Lots of very powerful stuff. I wonder what they’ve planned for the second and third expansion. o.O

I will play this as my top end (and plan B) in Aggro/Midrange Demon Hunter. Will be good, trust me. 😉

The saddest thing is that Demon Hunter will have done things before he drops this… meaning that opponent might never recover. Add to that that it is a BETTER Ragnaros 90% of the time and you can play 2 of those… plus it can be pulled by that other DH Demon guy…

I’m not sure if this is the right way to introduce the new class, but the card itself is very good, of course.
