Seems playable. 2 mana deal 5 damage the next turn is pretty good. And you have the flexibility of just leaving it there until you can get a good trade.
Does this mean that all "Risen" tokens do not leave a corpse? That would make sense and prevent some cards for paying for themselves (like Army of the Dead).
I'm gonna be charitable and say that the reveal schedule was structured deliberately to evoke a murder mystery - you get some clues but don't appreciate their significance until all the pieces fall into place.
If you want shorter games that you can play during a commercial break or in between sets at the gym, go play another game. Hearthstone has never purported to be that game.
Magnetize Snip Snap 3x (4 mana) then play the 1/1. Attack face. Should give you 21-22 damage depending on whether the shark missile hits the hyena (lethal regardless).
Lol you totally misread what John said. If you read further down to his Shudderwock example, you would understand what kind of balance adjustments he was talking about.
AFK hardly ever gets first place even though it has an overall good average placement. It's part of the group of heroes I hate most in Battlegrounds. Heroes that are really good in the early to mid game and fall off as soon as they encounter even a semi-real build. They are so stupid because they force out other players who have a chance to get to the late game with something that is complete shit and won't even win.
C'Thun is the worst offender by far, but the top 4 heroes on HSReplay (top 50% MMR) are those types of heroes right now. I mean just look at the placement curves for them. It's degenerate.
Maybe stop thinking about "winning" in Battlegrounds as getting first place. You win if you place top 4, and a build that consistently guarantees you top 4 is not "complete shit" but a strong build.

Unless it specifically says permanently or for the rest of the game, it always just affects the ones on the board.

You are gonna make the game more expensive since now players will need 33% more cards for any given deck.

I think the difference is that mechs are man-made constructs, whereas elementals are naturally occurring.

Any minion can be silenced, but to do so on a stealthed minion you need a non targeted effect like Smothering Starfish.

What race is this creature? It looks like a beast but has no tribal tag...

It's not that hard to kill his arms, they only have two Health each. Then all you have left is a 10-mana 7/7 to deal with.

Man I'm slow, this is the first time I noticed that "Holy Maki Roll" is a pun for Holy Mackerel!

Wow, an 8/9 minion! This is the first ever minion we've had with that statline!
