Huh, based on that trailer it sure looks like we're getting the reveal that Kazakus is a dragon.

I know this an extreme suggestion, but I think Blizzard should seriously consider outright banning Stealer of Souls. It's already banned in Wild, and it's a card design that's going to be an issue as long as this card exists.

My guess is it will be Westfall-themed. It's about the same level as The Barrens, although not quite as iconic. Most significantly, it has one of the other iconic low-level dungeons, The Deadmines, which could make for the next mini-set, complete with a new Edwin legendary.

They also had the Goblin card back available! There's a five month gap in late 2014-early 2015 that are the only monthly card backs I didn't receive, so I'm excited to be finally able to get one of the ones I've been missing.

Glad I still haven't dusted my extras from Outland. Had Shadowjeweler, two golden Priestesses and a golden Bloodboil, plus a ton of extras for the rares and commons.

Does anyone know if the "owned" flag is retroactive? A couple months back I got my final Classic legendary, and as the previous system you could still DE something and get it later, I chose to DE one of the weaker Classic legendaries, Millhouse Manastorm. Is he still in the pool for potential packs for me, or will I have to craft him to get him back?

Got to the 8th boss (Elise, I was playing as Finley), got completely wrecked, and then a new version of Bob, "Bob the Aviator" popped up to "give me a second chance." But when I finished with Bob, it counted as my 8th fight, no rematch with Elise? Maybe in this next adventure Bob only shows up when you lose and takes the place of the boss you lost to?

• Shrink Ray and Equality will now behave in a way that’s consistent with Sunkeeper Tarim in regards to stat-buffing aura effects, such as Stormwind Champion

Can anyone explain this change to me? Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but it sounds like it's treating Tarim as an aura, when that's not how the card works.

Definitely thematic, but I assume they want to give us neutral cards for events like this.

At least if it's a bad golden, you can dust it and get a better one effectively for free.

I'm also pretty interested in Heal Druid, another of my least played classes (Hunter, Druid, and Rogue are the only three I don't have at level 60, and each probably has less than 30 ladder wins). So I guess Good Job, Blizzard, making me interested in classes I haven't been before.

I'm not super interested in anything Shaman related this time, which is odd, but I'm also like 15 wins from Golden Shaman, so if I set that class aside soon that won't be so bad.

Launches at noon my time, and I don't have anything scheduled tomorrow till 2:30, so plenty of time to open my packs and craft any of the cards I really want that I didn't open. Can't wait!! Most excited to try out Dragon Pally, Bomb Warrior, and see what sort of craziness Plot Twist enables.

And I might finally craft Tess and a second Espionage (just realized I already have two Spectral Cutlasses) and try out Thief Rogue--it's one of the classes I have the least epics and legendaries for, but a lot of the ones I didn't have but would've wanted before are rotating, now might be the best time to get in on an archetype I've always liked but always felt a bit too expensive dust-wise to start playing.

I get the impulse for consistency across the Giants, but I do think that Sea Giant and Frost Giant are clearly of a different kind of being in WoW than the others. They're both huge humanoids, and though they reflect their environments, I don't think they rise to the level of elemental the same way a giant being of lumbering rock or snow does.

Glad that my Raza happened to be Golden.

More than the theme itself, I wonder if we're going to see another new card type to occupy a second Legendary slot per class. After the quests and the death knights, I'm not really sure what else you can do. Personally I wouldn't mind going back to a smaller number of class legendaries, bringing back more neutrals.
