Are you trying to be funny?
Great new cards but we would appreciate if the Frost Lich Jaina artwork was a bit representative of the actual Jaina in the cinematic trailer, like Rexxar's.
I legitimately don't care if DK Jaina will be considered "unplayable" in the future. Love the card, love the power; I will find a way to make it work.
Mark my words .
The alternate Jaina hero is absolute trash and will not see play competitively .
Eternal Servitude: Prophet Velen/Malygos Only decks for ultimate OTK :D
Feels bad for the neutral legendarys, so few and so bad.
I haven't seen the stream (well, watched a french recast, so didn't hear the sound from the original english casters) but have they given precisions as to how the "recast this" spells interact with other effects?
E. g. if Defile or Spreading Plague are recast three times, do they count as one or four spells for Yogg Saron?
Likewise, if you play an effect that makes the next spell cost life instead of mana and then a spell like Defile, do you lose life multiple times or only once?
Considering interactions with other cards that cast spells, (that is to say, Yogg and Servant of Yogg, as well as all minions in the Yogg brawl), it probably won't, because you aren't the one casting the spell, but rather the spell is casting the spell again.
Yes you lose the game because you can only have 5+ and 1 drops. xD
Turns out Quest Hunter only needs 1-drops and Tundra Rhinos.
Some sort of Hemet, Jungle Hunter deck with the Prince cards ?
I think its kinda sad how the rogue's weapon don't fit with the lifesteal rogue spell, i mean... 6 health is not much and you can only have it by spending 5 mana AND maybe taking damage on the second turn, it ends up limiting the use of the spell to other weapons, which will demmand a huge effort on deck teching. Or putting it on pirate rogue, so you can buff the weapon. Even with the +3 atk buff spell (which i forgot the name) it seems too codependent in the way that it would require 3 card combo only for you to heal yourself proprelly, and 6 mana...
yeah baby it is a Control Meta for sure
Never fatig fatig warri <3
Now this is more like it. As a Wild player, some of these are really interesting. Defile + Imp Gang Boss can get quite the chain going if you can kill something with the first cast. You can finally make a board centric freeze mage with an almost immortal Frost Jaina since you can heal for a million off of just Pyros + N'Zoth and freeze the biggest enemy threat every turn until they weep.
But most of all, Dead Man's Hand. Holy balls the possibilities. Any control warrior can add like 3 major threats and a brawl plus shield slam to their deck with a single cast. The good old Elise Control Warrior can add like 9 legendaries into their deck before they cast the Monkey on the same turn. Patron Warrior can now not only copy Patrons through Blood Warriors, but can also just shuffle more of them into their deck after that, or before they cast their first one, and try to make the opponent run out of AoE (which is currently why Patron sucks, everyone has enough strong AoE to just wipe them). But best for last, my C'Thun Fatigue Warrior just creamed itself. Two C'Thun's and two Doomcallers? Yes please. Brann + Coldlight + Iron Juggernaut? I'll take an extra copy of those too, thank you. Warrior can now either go hyper-control (at last, he's been stuck in aggro mode for two expansions now because of Kazakus and Jade) or even fatigue since he can have 18 extra cards in the deck (just pray for no Jade Druid or play Wild and Iron Juggernaut them).
imp gang boss+defile+patron=the dream
Or even that 1/1 tormented guy
FYI, you aren't limited to 18 extra cards. You can shuffle additional copies of Dead Man's Hand into your deck and infinitely chain them, as long as you only play one when holding another.
To all those who said that Frost Lich Jaina was fake.
I'm giving you a +1 specifically because of the subject matter you took advantage of :)
