They probably will when the other gets released.
I feel like this expansion should have been revealed during the winter expansion, since it has that cold and "icy" feel.
Its still technically winter in the south, you know not everything revolves around NA
still there are way more players in the north than in the south. W/e we all waited for frozen throne expansion
Not sure why people are getting so mad. All I said was for NA/EU players, it wouldve been a lot of fun if the expansion had been released in the winter for us. I wasn't trying to exclude anyone who lived in the south....
How will the hero cards interact with alternate heroes?
E.g Will Frost Lich Jaina replace Medivh when played?
Yes
cant wait to get a death knight card with mind vision ;)
Knights of the Frozen Dust.
So... i Guess it's official, all KFT Neutral Legendaries will be the 5 Dust Prince Council, all really bad, and taking away your chance of getting actual usefull Legendary =(
Yeah, and my money's on Marrowgar and The Lich King being the other two.
I'm calling that either Marrowgaurd or Saurfang will be the Warrior legendary. If on isn't then the other will be neutral.
It may be a bit premature, but I am going to call Prince Valanar as The Boogeymonster of the set.
I agree, there are so many good 4 drops and the effect doesn't even look remotely good for a deck without 4 drops
I disagree. Yes, the card is boring and underwhelming, and yes, it has no business being a legendary, BUT! This can reasonably be run in Warlock, Rogue, and slower Hunter decks. Warlock has cards of other costs whose effects overlap with their 4 cost cards, Rogue's only commonly played 4 drop in Standard is Sherizan, and Hunter decks, while they lose Houndmaster, have a lot of solid 3-drop cards that this inadvertently makes room for. Also, all 3 classes greatly benefit from this card's healing, stalling, and removal-baiting potential.
Wouldn't be TOO upset if I got this from my packs, honestly.
Personally, I'd prefer Taldaram over Valanar because the former allows me to do some thaurissan malygos shenanigans in wild while the latter would just be a kinda strong 4-drop.
WELL!
Looks like SOMEONE had some peaks on the future set cards beforehand, with that early Jaina DK card non-official reveal.
LOL
omg lol :D I bet you get Al'Akir the Windlord in every starting hand, :D
So it looks like the themes for each class are:
Mage: Freeze/stall, elemental.
Shaman: Freeze
Rogue: Poison/ single target removal (again)
warrior: Bersek/ enrage stuff, control/fatigue.
Hunter: Beast, secret.
Paladin: Divine shield
Warlock: Discard (feels bad(again))
Priest: no cards revealed to say.
Druid: Deathrattle
after todays reveal i totally agreed.
