Hello everyone. Once again, I'd like to bring to you a neat little thread that will show you exactly what you can get from the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan using the Discover mechanic. Previously, I had written a comprehensive post for the Old Gods expansion, in which I had done what I am doing now. The Discover mechanic is by far one of my absolute favorite mechanics, as it helps a player look to flexibility for fun and strategy. I will be excluding Drakonid Operative, as the card pool is too massive to write anything in particular here.

The order of each card with the Discover mechanic will be listed according to the cost of the card that grants Discover. Because you can get just about any card with just about any class due to random card generators, I will be keeping cards class specific when the Discover effect is class specific. Also, I will not be listing every minion/spell when every minion/spell is available to the card pool. I will, however, list minions with Deathrattle, Battlecry, basically, any card with a specific keyword attached that you can Discover (See I Know a Guy for reference).

And just to be clear, I will be listing off all cards that use the Discover mechanic, save for Sir Finley Mrrgglton and Arch-Thief Rafaam, as neither of them help bring anything from MSoG to the pool presented. I will be listing off all cards for the sake of keeping the Wild format in mind, but I will be making a special note for each card that's set to rotate out so that those of you who are reading will keep in mind how temporary those cards' presence will be, concerning the rotation schedule.

If you'd like to check out the full set, visit the link below. Also, please let me know if I should make adjustments of any kind that could help with the presentation of this thread. I like centering as a format choice because it's dead center of the screen. A little awkward for the eyes, but meh, personal choices will always be awkward to a number of people.

DETAILS CONCERNING ROTATING SETS

A quote from user Fedes94:
Every new year, from now on, will contain 2 Expansions and 1 Adventure, following this cycle:

• April: Expansion with rotation of every set published more than a year early
• August: Adventure
• December: Expansion

So in April the 1st, official rotation will come, and Blackrock Mountain, The Grand Tournament, and League of Explorers, will rotate out, and we will get "Expansion W", then in August, "Adventure X". In December, "Expansion Y", then, in April 2018, when "Expansion Z" is released, Whispers of the Old Gods, One Night in Karazhan, and Mean Street of Gadgetzan will rotate out, and so on...

(Note: This is only just a quote. I asked for help with information concerning rotation. If this is wrong, so is he. It sounds right, so let's just roll with it.)

My First Discover Thread for an ENTIRE Expansion (Whispers of the Old Gods)

---Important Edits---

Edit 1: Forgot to include Netherspite Historian and Ivory Knight when I initially published this thread. That is fixed now.
Edit 2: Accidentally included Jade Chieftain where I shouldn't have. That is fixed now.

I hope I have been able to help you, the reader, determine the value of Discover with this expansion, as we, as a community, should work together to strengthen our understanding of most every angle and mechanic of the game.

Enjoy the new expansion!

If I get I Know a Guy somehow as a Non-Warrior class, I'll be able to pull taunts from the neutral pool and my own class, right? I know Cabalist's Tome says specifically Mage spells. Does anyone have any proof or comment on Discover cards pertaining to this sort of thought? Journey Below, if I'm not a Rogue, but I have the card, would let me select Deathrattle minions from my class in place of Rogue minions, right?

Correct, or at least it should seeing as if a warlock gets the ethereal guy due to renounce for example, the warlock discovers warlock spells instead of Mage ones.

 Wow, impressive post! Now, how do you think I should use this while playing a game? Let's assume I want to see a list of the possible taunt minions I can get from I know a guy, should I check this post, the wotog one, and get a list somewhere of basic/classic taunts and LoE/Karazhan taunts? Isn't it easier to go to http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards?filter-show-standard=y&filter-premium=1&filter-taunt=1&display=3 ?

And what do you mean by fetched through alternate means?

Jade Chieftain cannot be discovered with I Know a Guy as it itself does not have taunt.

Thanks for the heads up. I tend to overlook these small things. I'll be checking everything I have listed, in an attempt to eliminate errored listings.

Nice work.
