Nope 2 legendaries left
Visual guides are the best, I'm feeling more muck morpher synergy for the other shaman legendary
Will cards like Aya Blackpaw work for Underbelly Fence and Vendetta?
What about The Lich King and Ysera generated cards?
IIRC, they add durability to Spectral Cutlass so this should work too, right?
Considering how current "other class card" mechanics work, yes Tri-Class cards (Jade Spirit, Lotus Agents, Aya Blackpaw) and Death Knight cards from The Lich King or Arfus should enable Underbelly Fence's battlecry.
Dream cards from Ysera will not work though as far as I know. Death Knight cards work because it's a sort of easter egg where Death Knight is an actual playable class in World of Warcraft. Dream Cards are just related to the Emerald Dream, a dimension or plane that the green Dragonflight which Ysera is the aspect of, have strong connections to.
Awesome!
Thanks for the reply.
So far so good! New interesting cards like Hagatha 2.0, Archivist Elysiana, Unseen Saboteur omg omg hehehe :evilgrin >:)
I think I will try some control pally after the expansion, mage and rogue also look good for me.
Glad Baku and Genn is leaving Standard 1 year earlier. I know some people love Baku and Genn. Hopefully this expansion brings back the Hearthstone I always wanted...
blizzard and anwarC: who even play wild???
Wow
I started playing casualy since the frozen throne expantion, and really looking forward to this new year where we can finaly part from the deathknigths. They were fun, but where to good for to long. These new cards dont look like there is 1 powerspike, but time will tell.
Behind the scenes look time!
I wrote the changes we needed for the new expansion to be supported on the site, as I've done for the past few sets. I handed those changes off to someone who is able to deploy the site. They fixed some problems with our deployments for HearthPwn and then were able to get my changes out.
Once we have the expansion setup on the site, cards can be added to the database. When cards get added to the database, I have an external script that picks the changes up, lets us associate a thread url with them, and then it generates the new markup for the guide, sorting cards the way you see them. After that guide markup is generated, I can then copy and paste the markup into the guide itself.
This process is repeated for every card on the site. To do the entire process manually, constructing the html, sorting it, is too painful which is why this page wasn't updated until the critical deploy was pushed out to the site. I've built some tools over the years to help with reveals and all happen to rely on that one source of data. To say its been a frustrating reveal season for HearthPwn would be the understatement of the year.
@Fluxflashor Why not just finish Hearthstation ASAP, rename it Hearthpwn, close this site, and make this URL redirect to Hearthstation?
Also some card pages have polls and others don't. Is this a glitch?
because hearthpwn is curse property.
Well those fuckers should upgrade to a better website then and call it Hearthpwn. Sheesh.
It's a bit early, but here's some initial Rise of Shadows Theorycrafts:
cool decks man, nice work
I'm curious about pogo-hopper decks in the next expansion, but also a bit worried. I think that too much OP cards are coming :S
To the Dev who finally organized these cards, thank you... thank you so much
