The first spell you cast after you get the location (note that you get it from the Deathrattle, so not immediately upon playing Nobundo) casts normally AND you get two copies of it stored into the Location. You can cast them for free by using the location. There is the usual wait until the second charge is available.

They will complete at the new values, ranked wins at 10/15, for example, because they have been changed server-side. There should be a client patch that will show the correct values in the store too.

It does not matter. If you open a copy in a pack first, you will be offered a chance to reroll it when you claim the Diamond. If you claim the Diamond first, duplicate protection prevents you from getting a regular copy until you have the full set of that rarity.

This is for the paid level 2 Diamond Jepetto. The level 1 free Li’na Legendary cannot be opened from packs anyway.

I can import the Paladin and Hunter decks that do not include any of the brand-new cards from Caverns. I also cannot get the others to work.

The in-game filter for Caverns of Time is at the top of the Wild expansions. You need to scroll down a bit from the Standard expansions. There have been some display bugs with Caverns reprints though, there are cases where you cannot see them – also in crafting view – if you own exactly one copy of the reprint and two copies of the original.

It will be added to the Legacy set and can be crafted. This has happened before, at least with that one bad Druid card, the name of which eludes me right now.

Ysera gets weaker in higher-MMR lobbies, but for the majority of Battlegrounds players, she is still a tier 1 Hero because of her simplicity and a strong tribe.

I always try to take into account how the Heroes’ performance changes across the ladder. Lich Baz’hial, for example, back when it was still a high-risk, high-reward Hero until its Buddy simplified everything, was miserable for new players but at least one tier better for veterans. I kept rating it a bit low, as I don’t think we’re really targeting 10k MMR players with a basic guide. This same thinking applies to Ysera: she is still getting stunning results in lower-MMR games.

Do you have any specific incorrect information in mind?

All deck-tracking addons, like Hearthstone Deck Tracker and Firestone, save your own statistics, but you’d need to play hundreds of games with the deck to get a meaningful sample size.

Because I’m old enough to have watched the classic Batman series, from which the holy Batman meme is from.

Fixed, thanks!

Neither of those are control decks.

This is the developer’s perspective: “Engagement among active players is tracking really well this expansion. Things like play session, daily active ranked players, etc. What we’re missing is an influx of new players but the 2nd and 3rd expansions of the year generally struggle there.”

Tickatus could be used without corrupting it, so maybe. Overall, I would like a deck to be focused on a specific way to win.

Tickatus cannot destroy a Questline (although it might destroy the tools to complete one), and the Warlock Questline is, in fact, a direct counter to Tickatus.

I actually tried to build a N’Zoth Priest with very little random generation in it recently. It was a disaster. Priest does not have any viable non-random strategies at the moment.

The Galakrond Priest deck featured in the article is from Ashes of Outland. Featuring a very similar list from December 2019 and early 2020 would have been redundant.

8600 dust is what the Rogue deck would cost to craft. If you disenchant all the craftable cards in it, you get 2050 dust. I added the full disenchant values to the article.

No. If you have not unlocked Core set cards yet, your classes will get bonus levels to unlock them. If you already have them, nothing happens.

This has been an ongoing discussion on Twitter and the devs have said that they will come back with some answers early next week before the pre-release becomes available. The current protection that has been announced indeed cannot protect you from opening duplicates if you open your packs during pre-release.
