Card Review
KiwiiNbacon has reviewed the new cards.
i alredy give my $ 130 to blizzard, -sits n wait-
$79,99 on this site, €89,99 on my phone.
As far as I know the Euro is worth more than the Dollar.
€89,99 is currently $102,15.
All in all this expansion costs me $22,16 more just because I live in the EU?
Are you fking kidding me?
Just buy it in the battlenet shop —> €79,99
Its kinda funny that blizz has regional pricing on 1st world countries, yet none on 3rd world/developing.
I buy 60$ games on steam/epicgames for only 39.99$ bec of regional pricing, yet on blizz i have to pay full USD price lol and EU has to pay more
crying in a corner
Don't forget other cards like Ysera to remove with Forbidden Words .
Will each class get two legendaries or one?

I really appreciate showing cards and trailer much closer to expansion release, but almost 5 days without any further information/cards/reveal schedule feels weird, you are losing customers blizzard
It's called "Week-end" and it's not 5 days, but just 2
I agree, they should start by showing off a group of cards - like they did to get the hype and momentum started, but then they should keep feeding into it, even as little as revealing 1 card per day would be enough.
Expansion annoucement was Thursday. Friday, they revealed Togwaggle's Scheme. Only Saturday and Sunday were without news and reveals. If there's nothing today (which I doubt) it will still only be three days with no news.
Boring card design as usual. Devs have done it again! Do you guys actually work? or just hit the "same card/random art/buffed stats button" to churn out this garbage?
It's not easy to create consistently creative new cards every expansion that is not broken or way to weak. You have to consider alot of things and all of these expansions rely on each other.
I get that, but they've designed themselves into a corner. I look at the cards as a whole, who competitive and interesting this game started & now it's just a reshuffle of old cards with new art and hardly anything new. Their solution for anything? "just send it to wild - who cares what happens there"
Cards in nutshell
Kalecgos: Value generator
Chef Nomi: BURN!!!!!! (Basicly the true Firelord)
Arch-Villain-Rafaam: fun control tool ( Golden Monkey crys in the corner of the wild format)
The forest's aid: 8 mana 10/10 , 8 mana 10/10
Forbidden words: Fuck you Twilight Drake
EVIL Miscreant: 3 mana 1/5 draw 2 op cheap minnions to help your opponent to delete there acounts
Spellward Jeweler: Fuck you Malygos
Hagatha's Scheme: choose one : draw dis late game and get 5 mana Whirlwind ,or have dis card at your starting hand and destroy you'r opponents board ,dreams and screens
Do we get any freebies on expansion release?
Can't wait for the highlights:
Turn 9:
Coin -> kalecgos -> discover a good spell -> play it -> OOPS!
As a wild player i said:
Turn 3: Coin + Barnes + Kalecgos --> Piroxplosion??
You wouldn’t be able to coin Barnes into Kalecgos as the coin would count as your first spell.
