It was this week, and it isn't even noon in California. There's plenty of time.
Also, they never said one a day. They said all of them would be revealed this week.
Oh I thought they would reveal 1 every day? There are 7 death knights left so i thought they wouldve revealed one yesterday too
they might reveal a couple at a time at the stream in fiday night (IDK when in EU-USA but it's on 9 pm in my country x) )
This is a nitpick but Lifesteal isn't a new mechanic, its a new keyword.
lol imagine at the next expansion they are like "we are introducing a new keyword!" and we find out it's just "elusive" for the "can't targeted by spells and hero powers"
I was thinking about a hero power for the Death Knight class, what about a mix of rexxar and anduin, you "transfer" 1 hp from the opponent hero to a minion of your choice or yourself. Too op? too weak?
One of them is probably the Lich King himself and that has to be one of the craziest cards in the set right?
I actually hope those cards get suppport because they might not b as good as they sould b...but they're a fun archetype IF you can build an entire deck around them.
But that's a big if there and if they don't give some love to princes I'll have to agree with you :P
depends on what deck and what cards, the 2 drop seems like it sucks, but the 3 drop can be playable in some otk decks, while the 4 drop can be really sweet
don't worry they said that the 4 drop was the last prince guy that has that weird mechanic
I'm hoping we haven't seen the true potential of the common legendaries. They just seem so weak right now, and they demand so much that I'd be very surprised if they're actually that 1-dimensional.
Personally, I'm hoping with the reveal of the rest of the cards, we see something like...
"if you control 3 or more princes, destroy them and summon the Lich King."
or
"While you have XXXXX on the board, your princes have +3/+3"
I guess, next expansion they'll introduce monk alternative heroes
It would be nice if they stopped showing class specific cards and started showing a lot more of the common neutrals. Because a few of the class specifics are meh and a general idea of new arena cards would help the hype.
They usually do that after the bigger reveal stream, so people aren't complaining about vanilla minions and pack fillers. If people are getting mad at Actually Very Good cards like Animated Berserker, just think how ballistic people could get if they spent a reveal on, like, a neutral, vanilla 6-mana 7/6 dragon. They're showing off the flashy effects first.
The fact that YOU are interested in them doesn't help the hype. Same goes for me wanting to find anything good for wild from those cards, cards that are good in wild are not helping the hype one bit. The hype is all about standard constructed and that's it.
Soz mate but arena is just not good for business, much like wild. :\
It seems quite logical that they're introducing "lifesteal" with the coming of the deathknights. It's healing prolonges the game enough for the deathknights to become active on the board. Also i see alot more of the trade mechanics like tokens and revive options. I think they want to balance things out by pushing away the turn 6 winner facedecks a bit. Maybe things will get interesting and more formats can be played again. Also i think people should stop hoping for the next OTK card, as this game is much more fun without 6 or 7 playable and ranking standard decks. Sofar so good Blizzard...
did you see defile?
Not only that, we've seen what, two dozen cards, maybe three? Still plenty of cards left to be revealed. Don't get me wrong, I want to see Pirate Warrior and other pure face decks go down in flames, but give the set a bit more time :)
dont forgot lifesteal, with the minion trading we will also be healing the face back up, new priest aoe for example take board and heal for damage done pre good aggro removal
