Panel Recap
Quote from Hearthpwn
- Ben Thompson, Dave Kosak, and Peter Whalen are on stage.
- They're showing off the cinematic again.
- Everyone in the audience has 3D glasses.
- They wanted to do something more classic Warcraft this time around.
- "What if we do the treasure set". They were on board.
- Blingtron's Lootapalooza was the original goal of the set. Over time they didn't like that as much.
- What does the mind of the Kobold look like? You're probably single minded, direct in your thought.
- The Kobolds are building tunnels and treasure rooms!
- The new game board is themed for the kobolds. Treasure, Magical Items, and Candles.
- Lots of new clickables on the board - don't touch the candles!
- The Kobolds have been digging for thousands of years.
- It was important to keep classes distinct which made it hard to design weapons for the casters.
- Caster weapons have 0 attack. Early on they even had 0 defense.
- Some of the Artifact weapons from World of Warcraft may be making their way into Hearthstone.
- Unidentified Elixir from priests will get a random effect when drawn.
- There are three unidentified items in the game. An Elixir, a Shield, and a Weapon.
- Spellstones are cards which get upgraded as conditions are met.
- They spent a lot of time figuring out what kind of creatures Kobolds would run into.
- "Sorry mini-tauren, your day will come"
- No adventure this time around, dungeon run replaces adventure for this set.
- Battlecrys play twice against Battlecrier Jinzo
- Waxmancer Stermy can create wax minions that mimic your minions or hers. They're 1/1 clones.
- Room of Traps is a rare encounter that doesn't show up as often - it's one of the hardest encounters available.
- Two passive upgrades are given to you throughout your run to give you more power.
- Two treasures are given to you throught your run as well. They're super powerful.
- Every boss you beat has 3 piles of loot, each has 3 cards in it. You can take one pile per boss to add to your dungeon deck.
- There are 40 treasures available in total.
- There are 1.4 kobillion, or, "a lot" of combinations of runs available.

If dailies can be completed in the new dungeon mode, then it's very good. Otherwise, it wouldn't see much play. All in all, I like Blizzard working on re-playable single-player content.
Rin is a bit to slow especially after you need to pay 5 mana for a 2/2 and 5 mana for a 3/3 body
at least those two should be reduced to at least 3 mana for better summon value
I like the mechanics though
if you manage to pull this one out it could be a nice fatiguing card against your opponent, though you need a solid board after that for maximum effect
the game probably would end faster though since you need to kill your own minion 5 times sand cannot be silenced even once,
it kind of reminds me of the Pyros but much slower
I guess they made it this slow because of the Guldan DK battlecry.
Only the first one is a deathrattle, the seals just summon a demon and add the next seal to your hand.
You need to avoid being counter spelled.
Dragon Soul is a legendary card or not? There is no dragon on the frame of the card.
it is an legendary card, cause you can summon "infinite" 5/5 for the rest of the game if you have enough spells to play and it doesn't get destroyed
pretty sure it loses 1 durability per each 5/5 summoned
auto include ooze meta?
Looks like.
yep
My inner hunter loves this card! ( Carnivorous Cube )
Turn 6 Savannah Highmane .
Turn 7 ( Carnivorous Cube ) + Play Dead + Play Dead .
Now sure it's a four card combo to pull this off, and hunter doesn't have much draw, but for seven Mana you summon four Savannah Highmane 's and a ( Carnivorous Cube ) that summons two more Savannah Highmane 's...! that's 28/26 worth of minions on the board that all have Deathrattle 's!
Will this ever happen? Hard to tell, most people don't like to pop Savannah Highmane so there is a good change for him to survive. But with this combo in mind maybe that will change. Even if you can't combo it with Play Dead still very strong.
legendary weapons don't really excite me, but i do love the theme of the expansion as a whole
Don’t forget Runeforge Haunter
Don't forget blizzard has no idea what they're doing lol
Rin, the First Disciple (6) Turn 6 : Nice Def
(If Rin dies because opponent want to... "Trade" this 3/6 Taunt... Proceed Turn 7, otherwise..... Delay 1 or more turn)
The First Seal (5) = Turn 7 : Summon a Pity 2/2 Demon + 2 Extra Mana
The Second Seal (5) = Turn 8 : Summon a Less Pity 3/3 Demon + 3 Extra Mana
The Third Seal (5) = Turn 9 : Summon a Medicore 4/4 Demon + 4 Extra Mana
The Fourth (5) = Turn 10 (Wow! I barely made it) : Summon a Good 5/5 Demon + 5 Extra Mana
The Final Seal (5) = Turn 11 (This is a Miracle!) : Summon a Great 6/6 Demon + 5 Extra Mana
Azari the Devourer (10) = Turn 12........
Would u rather "Destroy your opponent hero" or "destroy your opponent's deck"?
ain't there just 1st seal for 2/2, 2nd seal for 4/4 and final seal for 6/6 ?
I, for one, am super excited to be able to play Giant Shaman with Snowfury Giant, Earth Elemental and the Spellstone with Spirit Echo for Jade Druid levels of large men. Also, inb4 this deck gets a Moorabi package with Moorabi, Frozen Crusher and Hyldnir Frostrider.
My reaction to this expansion.

Glad I kept my golden Harrison Jones. It seems he will be useful when this expansion launches
