Highroll prince keleseth, zoolock anyone?  If you get keleseth in the oppener you win, otherwise you lose!

This whole odd/even cards is just another Cthun smh. I want card that I can include in my current decks already, I hope there will be some normal cards/legendaries OR that the odd/even cards could actually fit into a somehow tuned deck and be good.

maybe this card will make Windshear Stormcaller viable

 Baku won't make getting out all 4 any easier.

Felix, you are completely missing the counterpoints. But that's OK. We'll all see how it pans out when the expac launches. But don't be surprised when some version of Aggro Hunter eats your face for breakfast, thanks to his 3 unblockable damage every turn.

 

 I mean as a paladin if you want to drop all your good 2,4,and,6 drops so you can make your hero power better then go ahead. I'll just win on the board even harder than now and kill you by like turn 5 since you're doing almost nothing but hitting face which won't work when I Call to Arms an unbeatable board. (Remember no more Alley Cat and you give up any good turn 2 play that affects the board outside of double 1 drop which leaves you with little to do after that)

 AAAANNNNDDDD ... just saw a Hearthside Chat with Dean Ayala, which highlighted two different options for a Baku deck. One of which was .... wait, no, is it possible? Oh, yep it is possible! In fact it happened. Face hunter.

Hi i made a deck because i can't stop thinking about how WELL baku is gonna work in quest druid

How can it not be not be meta-defining, when they are building a whole expansion around this card and Genn Greymane, wich is very similar.

The question is ; Can Warrior be successful playing this card without having execute?

 Yes, the removals based in armor become a lot better if you start the game with a upgraded hero power.

3 manas you get 4 armor and kill a 4 health minion with shieldslam.

5 manas you can play a flamestrike with only one card instead a combination of 2.

The problem is not removal, execute is easy to replace, the problem is win condition, a lot of good minions for control are even ones...

Please, please, please don't be the return of tank up! Please! I don't want to fall asleep on my keyboard again.

I made a long brew post about this today:

https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-game-modes/standard-format/214062-brewing-with-witchwood-a-case-for-shaman

Shameless cross promo, I know. But if you wanna talk Shaman, check it out. 

It might not be so obvious, but the power level of Baku the Mooneater is just incomparable with Genn Greymane. The only upgraded hero power that has a board impact on turn 2 is paladin's, however most of paladin's good cards are even. Another weakness of odd decks is that even - even = even, which means you will probably have wasted mana on even turns unless you have many 1-mana cards.

I think all odd cards revealed so far are pack fillers. Upvote if you agree:)

I can kinda see this being good in some classes, but again can it be good enough to make a competitive deck only using odd cost cards, i'm not so sure, will still have some fun experimenting though.

There are very few cards that I am genuinely excited to snatch that first day, but this is near, if not at the top of the list. Also, I know they have said this is based on a dragon-like mythological creature from the Phillipines, the Bakunawa; however, as a fan of the mythology behind the Japanese Baku, I'm a little sad they used this name instead of just directly ripping of the Phillipines' moon eating dragon.

Card texts what represents mechanics so important even they bothering remove enrage keyword for a long explanation, Genn and Justicar Truehearth texts:"Your starting hero power" baku doesn't have that however they confirmed it works like justicar.I don't understand that.Why different text and same effect?

I suspect they might have plan about hero powers in the future.What do you think?

Okay so there are around 70 cards revealed at the momtn, and it looks like the odd-even cards are just not coming. I feel like those 6 cards at the start of the Expansion were the only 6 that get some odd-even synergy.
