There are 4 Invoke cards in the deck, and yes, upgrading just once is viable.

I have played with Brightwing a fair bit, and really like the card, especially in value-based Highlander decks. That said, you can replace it with one of the other dragons we’re getting.

Nah, all the cards already work fine in Quest Druid today. The concept is proven.

Yeah, I think you’re right. I’ll change that.

Don’t be silly, of course it will. The Wild event card is Flamewaker.

Many players do not follow all possible news about the game. It is great that you are enthusiastic enough to know what Blizzard has announced, but we also provide news for people who do not.

Furthermore, even if the expansion name includes the word dragon, it does not inevitably mean that there will be dragons for everyone. Mechs, for example, were never a thing for everyone, even though we have had two Mech-based expansions. Year of the Dragon certainly has not delivered on the dragon front until now, either.

Finally, even if there are dragons for everyone, what kind of decks do those dragons promote for the classes? That analysis is the main new contribution of this article, and it was our goal for that to serve also more hardcore players who already know the revealed cards.

Yes, Jaraxxus’s Hero Power is finally viable now, but you still need to hit some Demons from the Tavern or the Hero is useless. Sometimes you find them, sometimes you don’t. There are only 9 Demons in the game (including Amalgam) as compared to 23 Mechs, for example, which makes it more difficult to find them reliably.

Warrior does not have any class cards that have synergy with Sathrovarr. It can still use the Neutral cards, maybe go for some Highlander synergies, but there is nothing Warrior-specific to talk about.

Well, you build an entire board and it is resurrected at the end of each battle. So you can improve your army every round. Other than that, you got the idea.

Thanks, I’ve had a great time writing them!

For someone new to auto battlers, I think Battlegrounds can be great! In its current form, it’s for you if you just want to play casually, but if you want to play hardcore, you might need to look for one of its competitors. We’ll see how the development goes during the beta and whether Blizzard finds a way to add longevity to the game while keeping it simple.

I dislike overtly random elements in general. I’ve played Hearthstone since beta, and have always hoped that the game would take a less random path, but it never has, and I expect it never will.

So, I’m not too thrilled about Battlegrounds as a hardcore gaming experience, but auto battlers are fun games and it might provide a good casual experience. Who knows where the development will go during the beta, it might also work out better in the long-term than I’m currently estimating.

It will not.

I don’t think there are any highlight videos or summaries.

No. You need to connect your Twitch account and Battle.net account as instructed and then be logged into your Twitch account when watching.

You could try Half-Time Scavenger or Earthen Ring Farseer.

He does not know at all. Same with cards that have been bounced back to the hand, Zephrys just does not know.

I’ve seen Zephrys give Windfury spell for lethal against a Hunter with a Secret up, and that Secret turned out to be Pressure Plate that killed the buffed minion. Zephrys also offered Pyroblast at the same time, that would have been lethal the following turn. So he tends to offer you options for lethal if there are multiple, so that you can use your own knowledge of possible secrets and try to play around them.

You freeze the board so that your minions can hit face more. That’s how current freeze mage works too, it rarely shoots spells anymore.

Yes, Voodoo Doll is to avoid some non-synergistic spells.

Luna’s is borderline viable here, I’m not sure if there are enough minions for it. It is an option, of course.

The current cost of spells is what counts, so those would summon you a number of 5-cost minions.

No, weapons and Taunts are not a good synergy. As for Dr. Boom, it can actually outvalue control decks almost single-handedly, it is a really big deal.
