JibbaNerbs posted a message on New Paladin Legendary Reveal: Lynessa SunsorrowPosted in: NewsWell, I'm crafting it, good or bad.
But real-talk, though, is it good? Actually, yes, I think it really is, because of Spikeridged Steed. We all know already that spikeridged steed is a seriously solid card, I don't think that needs explanation. Now, consider the fact that it's sometimes worthwhile to play it onto a recruit, just to save yourself. That's a legitimate use of this card. Now, suppose you had a card that would allow you to do that, for 1 mana cheaper. You've basically just added an extra copy of spikeridged steed to your deck, is what I'm saying.
But wait, as they say in infomercials, there's more. Because you're probably running at least 2 copies of that in your deck, you could get a 7-mana 5/13, with taunt, and summon 2 2/6s with taunt as the deathrattle. And that's not even including any other buffs you happen to be running. So maybe you run this card with just 2 spike-ridges, fine, that's still great, but what if you throw in a few Blessing of Kings? Blessed Champion? Even a few Adaptations could get you stealth or can't be targeted. If you're getting creative, you could pack a few bounces with Desperate Stand, for even more action.
The only weakness is the rest of your deck not being strong enough, either to A. Draw out your opponent's hard removal, or B. Follow up when this gets hard-removed. But that's not this card's fault, like someone referenced with Tirion, just because it's vulnerable to hard removal doesn't make it bad. Everything is vulnerable to hard removal.
Added bonuses: leftover mana allows you to prepare a backup plan, (i.e. drop a fledgling, or even just some random smaller minions).
Only downside? If you run this card in a buffadin, you better not try to use eggs with Humility, or you'll get humiliated.
I'm calling it right now, as long as Palys see play, and Spikeridged Steed is available, this will be in pretty much all of them, and that is not a claim I make lightly.

Tacostuffa posted a message on Mike Donais Clarifies the Various Copy Mechanics of HearthstonePosted in: NewsI woke up this morning and there was something really weighing on my mind, but I couldn't figure out what. So during my morning bowel movement, I decided to take a few serene minutes to reflect on my overall personal life and conclude what is bothering me - It just had to be that Team5 never established official rules to designing a hearthstone card with the ability 'copy'. No idea how I've gotten through the last 3+ years of my life without knowing this tidbit of information. Then suddenly, out of the blue today my biggest crisis in life is solved. I now know that during the design process of the next expansion, I know what Team5 knows regarding the rules to a card with the copy ability, Not sure what's next in life for me now that I have this piece of information.

Magiicguy posted a message on New Mage Card Reveal - Glacial MysteriesPosted in: Card DiscussionReally shows how OP Mysterious Challenger was.
It was OP, but this has nothing to do with this card. Paladin secrets are 1 mana-worth and overall poor to have in hand, while mage secrets are the most powerful in the game. Mage cards also have far more synergies with secret compared to Paladin. -

Posted in: HadronoxI believe he will summon a Druid of the Claw but not Ancient of War. Druid of the Claw transforms into a minion with Taunt, Ancient of War gains Taunt as a buff from its battlecry.

Plague is balanced and has been nerfed

Purify is way better

It's one attack per turn, he uses the attack at the START OF THE TURN
