Reno Jackson is a Dragon - Fan Theory Confirmed?!
That’s way too perfect. Blizzard needs to do it.
Reno Jackson is a Dragon - Fan Theory Confirmed?!
Maybe he hit his head and forgot that he’s a Dragon? That would be so true to his goofy character.
Reno Jackson is a Dragon - Fan Theory Confirmed?!
That sounds really cool. I’m glad that they decided to make Reno a Dragon after all, it’s amazing that they decided to turn a 3.5 years old fan theory into a reality and in such a big way. I can’t wait to play the rest of chapters ๐
Patch 16.2 is Out! Galakrond's Awakening Launch, Two New Battlegrounds Heroes and Minions, Bug Fixes and Improvements
You forgot about Boogeymonster! I agree that his minion pool isn’t great, but at the same time, the HP is overpowered. 1 mana for +1/+1 to every minion is huge. We’ll see how it works in practice – whether his Hero Power will be able to carry him.
And yeah, Millhouse looks fun, but 2 gold rolling HURTS :/ It might be good for the early game, but in the late game you start rolling much more than buying.

It’s not out for me yet, but mobile patches tend to be up to a few hours late I’m afraid :/
Galakrond's Awakening Adventure Guide - 35 New Cards, Four Chapters, Launches January 21!
Card amount is consistent, the rarity is not consistent, because it doesn’t really matter in case of Adventures ๐ You’re guaranteed to get all of those cards anyway, so adding Epics instead of Commons to one class doesn’t matter that they will be more difficult to get in packs or craft.
Galakrond's Awakening Meta Decks (Week 1) - Best Hearthstone Pro & Streamer Deck Lists For All Classes
I think that they pushed enough Treant synergies in Descent of Dragons, but who knows, maybe? I would like to see some good Dragon (or synergy card) – I was really hyped for some kind of Ramp Dragon Druid before the set, and it’s very fun to play, just not too strong ๐
Galakrond's Awakening Card Review #1 - Shotbot, Chaos Gazer, Amazing Reno, Winged Guardian, Grand Lackey Erkh, Sky Gen'Ral Kragg, The Fist of Ra-Den and more!
There are two options – either we get them all today (which wouldn’t be weird, that’s what they did in old adventures – dumped the final 20+ cards shortly before release) or we don’t learn anything about them until tomorrow’s release. We’ll probably learn more in an ~hour or so (because that’s when they would usually drop them). However, it’s a day off today in US so I don’t really know how they will handle it.
Hearthstone Wild Meta Decks Tier List - Scholomance Academy Update
Descent of Dragons Post-2nd Nerf Patch update done – thanks Corbett! It took so long because of crazy release & patch cycle this expansion, but we’ve finally decided to pull the trigger. Can’t wait forever. If necessary (so if the meta changes), we’ll do another update after Galakrond’s Awakening fully launches.

That would be neat, but I don’t think that it will be the case. So far no effect in the game forced you to make a choice – you only choose things when playing cards from your hand or using Hero Power (and Horror also follows this pattern).
Also, Scrolls of Wonder (https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/scroll-of-wonder/) shuffled by Deck of Wonders don’t say anything about random targets, but the spells cast by those obviously have random targets.
I also think that if they would decide to do it this way, they would mention something in the Hero Power itself (like “You can choose targets”), because it’s a big and goes against anything we’ve ever seen in Hearthstone.

Sorry, it missed “low rolls” (but I also added another sentence to explain what I mean by low rolls in this case).

Yeah, I meant Explorer. Fixed it.
Sorry, my brain is often messing those similar card names. When CubeLock was popular I was often writing Kabal Lackey instead of Possessed Lackey for example :p Then even when I proofread it my brain still refused to see it as a mistake.

If you already pre-purchased, you won’t be able to redeem the code again, so you won’t get anything yourself I’m afraid.

I don’t think that it’s necessarily a missing space – Shadow Word: Death acts like a single target big minion removal in Control Priest decks, then later in the game either Forbidden Words or Plague of Death can be used as emergency big minions removal (FW is not optimal because it costs a lot, and Plague is not best when used against a single minion, but it can still be). The thing is that unless the meta demands it, you can’t really put too many big minions single target removals, since those usually are weak against Aggro (as well as some Midrange decks).
But I guess that if the meta would be full of high attack minions, the card would still be good. E.g. if Handlock was a very popular deck (like Galakrond Rogue right now :p), I would definitely run Aeon Reaver. But in the average meta, I just don’t think that Aeon Reaver is really necessary in slower Priest builds.

I don’t think it was confirmed/denied yet, but I’m like 99% sure that Erkh is not a Lackey. If he would count as a Lackey, he would also be generated by EVIL Miscreant and any other Lackey generator, and that wouldn’t make much sense.

Oh yeah, if you can hit either Electra or Eye of the Storm with Far Sight and play both on the same turn, it’s really good. 6x 5/6 Taunt is crazy – you put your opponent in a situation where he has to board wipe or he loses. But the chances of that happening are, like you’ve said, really small.

Quests aren’t tied to each day. E.g. you can finish Quest 1 on Day 1, then skip Day 2 and on Day 3 you will still have Quest 2. Then you will be one day “behind” and you will get everything done on Day 9. Skip 2 days and you will be done on Day 10. Not sure how to explain it better…
It means that if you skip a few days because you won’t be able to play the game etc. you will still be able to get all Quests done.
