Expansions are not free, but each Expansion will now have a free Adventure mode attached to it. The previous iterations of paid Adventures that add cards are discontinued.

I would think that the animation for this would be similar to
Astral Communion
, and when the effect disappears, the minions would be on the board. If your hand contains more than 7 spells, it just uses 7 random mana costs from your hand and still discards everything. If you play this card and
Gadgetzan Auctioneer
draws a minion for you, the effect still happens, you just also discard the minion you drew.
Image isn't showing up if I use the button so I had to attach it.
If you use something like HSreplay that shows the cards when you hover over the names, you can see the watermark on each card. As long as you know what each watermark is you can know the set.
Naga doesn't get better though. The difference between 20 and 25 mana is insignificant when Naga reduces them both to 5.
You're more likely to be able to play Molten Giant without Naga now, which is relevant in some rare cases. I'll admit its not that big a change but it makes the deck marginally better.
Well, that was going to be the case regardless of Ice Block rotating. Cabalyst's Tome and Babbling Book are going away, meaning the options for generating Spells are actually quite limited, unless one decides to go the Elemental Route, which is not good if you want to go for Combo. It is not impossible, but very tricky to get correctly balanced building the deck.
I agree that Cabalist's Tome is a huge hit but Babbling Book is already being dropped in favor of Ghastly Conjurer in a lot of lists. The Elemental route tries to abuse Lesser Ruby Spellstone and can get a tempo win by using the second turn to give a full board of minions pseudo-Charge. The rotation of this and Coldlight Oracle could get people experimenting with a deck like this, whether its good or not.
We'll probably see a lot more class card draw next year because of this, but I'm not happy that Mill Rogue and Quest Rogue are a lot weaker now. This card literally sees play in those decks and it saw play in Razakus sometimes, but that's it.
Basically makes Mage a burn class, rip any Control decks. Perhaps a midrange deck with Jaina and a lot of Elementals could work but just about every other slow Mage deck is gone.
And if Quest Mage wasn't already dead in its current form, I guess it is now. Elemental Tempo Quest Mage is the only way to do it now.
If you let the game get to this position then there's something wrong with your deck or your playstyle. Mal'Ganis is fine, the mechanics that cheat big Demons out are the problem.
But if you let him copy Mal'Ganis three times then you have to get better at the game. Simple as that.
@Fluxflashor, any way you guys can figure out any card text updates? For one thing, Candleshot has been updated to have the same text as Gladiator's Longbow but it would be foolish of me to check every single card in the game.
You're talking like there aren't any cards in sets except Legendaries. Why would I exchange Raza for 16 rares when I could buy 60 packs from a new set and get up to 60 new Rares?
edit: This "exploit" would be better used if the legendary is from the newest set, so that maybe you could complete your Epics from that set while you're at it. If you're getting nothing new its not worth it.

Handlock is back I guess, and Naga decks got better. Maybe this is a sign that they're going to be dealing with Naga at some point this year?
edit: Also means that there are only two neutral Giants in Standard after the rotation. Blizz plz

My best guess is that he's using that to get the ban every time, so he can meme even harder.
