Blizzard never likes to nerf legendaries if they can help it. I'm sure they hope that the nerf to the hammer and sanitize will make Odyn decks just enough slower to feel more fair.
Remember that each class gets a weapon this expansion, so if that is your only won condition it's vulnerable to someone just overwriting the mic with their instrument weapon.
I do think some rogue decka will find a way to stack damage here. It also lets you break your opponent's special weapon, of course.
That's true, but 40 card/40 health decks have made it harder to beat your opponent to death quickly. THen again, a 40 card deck makes it hard to find a specific legendary on curve, so who knows?
I just saw that -- this makes it amazing. If you steal something big with Drakonid Operator you can hold it until your opponent draws and plays it; they you get yours and swipe theirs.
Keep politic/Real life drama out of the card games. I dont care what other people did. I am here for a HS. Not for a Hong Kong, not for LBGT right not for suicide Allegations.
Some things are more important than the game, and sometimes the real world intrudes into this space.
It's also only abstract to those of us not likely to be affected; I'm a cisgender straight white middle aged man. This joke of discrimination doesn't hurt me personally, but that's all the more reason for me to listen to those who are affected.
I think these streamers are totally nosense. Why aren't they revealing cards? What is the point? They are not revealing cards and this way all problems with Blizzard will be gone away? If so, how?
Or they are not revealing the cards, because Blizzard is a bad evil company and they don't want to become partners or support Blizzard? If so, I assume that they will not play/stream Blizzard games anymore, will they?
If they don't reveal their cards and continue to play/stream Blizzard games, so what's the point? I don't get it.
Trump said that all these lawsuit thing is bad and he will not reveal his card in his video and his next sentence was "Show must go on." and he continued to review revealed cards. Sorry but what is the point? If "show must go on", why don't you reveal your card? Lol If it is a that bad situation so you can't reveal your card, why you still continue to review/play/stream Hearthstone?
Watch Alliestraza's video, where she makes the case. I find it compelling, and I applaud her decision.
Why? Because reveal week gives these steamers a bigger platform than usual and, as it has been written, with great power comes great responsibility. With accusations of this level of seriousness (and let's be honest - the odds of it all being true are almost unity) it isn't the time for the usual whimsy she brings to her reveal. It isn't the time to celebrate.
It's time to tell the community that she cares, that we should care too. That some things mean more than a game.
Allie and Eddy brought reveal week to a halt, and let us have this conversation rather than ooh and ahh at the pretty new card designs. That's the right thing to have done.
Video game giant Activision Blizzard Inc., maker of games including World of Warcraft and Diablo, fosters a “frat boy” culture in which female employees are subjected to constant sexual harassment, unequal pay, and retaliation, according to a lawsuit filed by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing.
A two-year investigation by the state agency found that the company discriminated against female employees in terms and conditions of employment, including compensation, assignment, promotion, and termination. Company leadership consistently failed to take steps to prevent discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, the agency said.
I agree and support Alliestrasza and Lt. Eddy. Your comments?
I'm with you. Their place in the streaming community gives them a platform. Sometimes we each need to use our platforms to stand for what is right.
Allie's video message was very well-stated. I'm sure that as a woman in the pro-gaming space this hits her hard. I'm glad she said what she did, and I agree: today is not the day for celebration, for whimsy, or to pretend that evertything is "normal".

Holy Springwater seems like it might be good.
Invasive Shadeleaf is nice single-target removal that can be used more than once for smaller minions.
Swarm of Lightbugs feels like trash. Priest doesn't have access to board buffs, and 1/1 minions - even a lot of them - die way to easily.

I was thinking the same. But the 1 mana bottle can.
If you Holy Springwater a full health character you probably get an 8HP bottle.

You could give the Titan elusive, magnetize this onto it, then maybe fire four 4 damage missiles next turn.
Not game-ending by any means, but a scary combo.

Copycat won't work because they've already played it. Soothsayer's Caravan doesn't ever live long enough to work here.
So... it's Psychic Conjurer, Drakonid Operative, or get lucky with Murloc Holmes

Totems are weird in that Blizzard alternates between having them a key part of Shaman's class identity and forgetting about them altogether.
There's been about one totem in the past three expansions.

And .. that's only five boars.
1 on turn 1
One from the amulet
Two from raise dead
One extra from gift
It IS a fun deck, but you're not getting the sword on turn 5.

As I said above, power/responsibility.

Yes, so you often just to clear the board (both sides) with two mana remaining to hp and win.
