25 mana?

It better be a win con battlecry.

Im totally not thinking of a degenerate combo with prismatic lens

If they nerf shudderwock itself, I think it should be 1 mana higher

also I have a golden one, so 3200 dust back XD!

The Shudderwock OTK is arguably less reliable than decks like quest mage, however, the main issue why there's been a surge of hate isn't because of how powerful the card is, it's due to the tedious amount of animation time it takes to die from it. A stroke of bad luck like Grumble's battlecry triggering first could potentially ruin the entire combo and lose you the game.

 

I've played the deck myself now, and while I've been getting relatively average win-loss ratio, mainly losing against quicker decks, it's tons of fun when I'm winning, but I can't help but feel bad for my opponents having to sit out the tedious amount of time it takes  for Shudderwock to kill them

 

You know what people hate more than losing? The loss taking 10 minutes of your time that you'll never get back due to excessive animations.

 

So, yes, it is broken, but it's broken in a sense that Blizz has to speed up the casting animations; nerfing it would completely ruin and wring the fun out of playing shaman, as if shaman hasn't been completely destroyed as of recently.

Which is everyone going to do first? (Beating the Monster Hunt with all 4 heroes + 1 final fight against Hagatha using all 4 at once according to Brode will unlock a new cardback. And probably some extra packs for beating the first few bosses)

I am probably going to open my (111) packs after I get the exclusive cardback for beating the Monster Hunt challenge. Here's hoping for some memetastic bosses like our girl A.F. Kay and Candlebeard (charrrrrrge!)

edit: MB MH starts 2 weeks after launch so waiting is not viable. So packs first

53 minutes till new card stream

Technically the 27th , it starts at 12:59 PM which is a minute till the 27th

@WhiskyGeorge,
I did'nt get that !!
I had saved quests from (24th - 25th), so today is 26 and I have 3 quests, which means 3 packs,
You mean tomorrow all packs will be replaced from K&C to Witchwood  ?

They change day to day - Days 3, 7, 10 and 16 award Witchwood packs, while the rest award K&C.  Today is Day 1, so plan accordingly.  Do only one quest today and tomorrow, and so on and so forth.  Make a little calendar lol.

Though don't do anything NOW!  The event won't start for another two and a half hours lol.

Thanks to this announcement, now we can say that Baku and Genn will be unplayable before expansion after The WW. I can't understand it, it's the most interesting mechanic in this set. Rush is boring, Echo can be good; they aren't better than Even&Odd, so in my opinion Blizzard has to print more cards like those 6 to ENCOURAGE PLAYERS TO DON'T QUIT THIS GAME FOREVER. Rush just shouldn't exist, i think that the only reason to make this mechanic is that blizzard has no idea for new, interesting and powerful mecanics. Thanks, Blizzard. Thank you a lot.

The best value of golden cards is the dusting value, period.

Recently I have seen such comments such as

"Who even freaking cares about golden cards?"

As a lover of aesthetics,  there actually is an innate value to golden cards. Let's say you pull a golden Cho,  had this been a normal Cho you would have gotten 400 dust instead of 1600. Meaning a golden legendary has dust value, same with literally every other golden card that can be dusted.

I can trade golden Cho, for Prince Kelthe or any other legendary I need.

Now the next question

"Why would you make one?!"

1 word: Aesthetics

Many people like rarer shiny things,  even if they have to devote a resource (Time/currency) to get it. I for one will definitely use the dust I have right now for Baku the World Eater.  I also like golden cards for commons, because it just looks nice.

Same reason I like shiny Pokemon, and currently shiny hunting as I write this. Only shiny hunters are MUCH more rare then a golden legendary pull in hearthstone

Your getting at minimum 400 dust for free

and with the extra 3 packs which equal about 120 dust,   that's free 520 dust for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Crafting golden cards is a waste of dust, I don't understand why would someone waste money on that.

 how did you know

 

Blizzard: Why have one class be a Death Knight when ALL the classes can be Death Knights?
