Quote from Trentolapzz >>The devs have confirmed that hard removals is not an honorable kill, you need to hit him exactly for 5 damage or he will respawn.
Not exactly true. You can chip away at him with several smaller attacks/spells, as long as the one that kills him is exact.
I don't think it will be as hard as you seem to think. Plus there's slience, which will become popular if this card becomes too popular.

I realised that this is PVP mode in the end, after these videos.
First, the rewards they were receiving after each bounty were just coins for their own mercenaries plus some coins for some rares they didn't had. That's it. Even from last boss from Barrens. Even from lvl 20 Heroic Bounty. Of course, maybe from high-end bounties you will start receiving some epic coins or even legendary. But from what I saw, it will be so few, like 5 coins for the mercenary you don't have yet. And I believe they will make it, like, you could farm some specific epic mercenaries, but for the legendary ones, it will be rng mercenary coins. I will be glad if I am wrong on this.
Second, the rewards they were receiving for PVP were great, because there were coins for epic and legendary mercenaries. Just for one win. In PVP.
Third, the fact that you couldn't craft a mercenary you want with universal currency like dust is makes it a very grindy mode, that might convince you to buy packs instead.
Fourth, the Diamond skins. You want to show them off versus real people. That's how the whole skins thing works.
So in the end, I think the PVE mode will be so grindy, that you will start getting bored at some point without PVP variety and excitement. Or, if you don't like that, you just quit. Like you quit Dungeon Runs despite their "variety".
Again, I hope I'm wrong.

I see a lot of hate for the new skins and the price scheme, however I totally understand it. The game has now a full blown free to play element in battlegrounds, where you don't need to buy card packs and you can enjoy full experience in a really enjoyable game mode.
There are people out there that actually wants to support the game but they don't want to buy card packs, because they won't use them. So these bundles are for those people, if the price seems too high then these are probably not for you.
I don't buy skins (except for in-game currencies) but I do drop some money on Blizz from time to time because I like their games.
tl,dr : you don't have to buy the skins

Its the first time in history that no control deck is viable. I would say also no midrange deck. Why? Because combo and aggro is the only way to play. I cant imagine people that have fun with this state. Every card that cost 7 mana or more is not even playable (in terms you cant play them because you are dead on turn 6). How can people have fun with 5 minute games? Its solitäre at that point or mindless face race. I love the expansion also because the cards are so cool. But the things that have risen at the first day is even worse that everything you could face in wild. Standard is worse than wild. And wild decks have no chance to win vs them also. Its a sad time. Dont know what you find good abou that...
Is Handbuff Pally - one of the statistically strongest decks in the meta - combo or aggro in your book? I definitely don't consider it either.

Oh man, i didn‘t think i would see it but this is rock bottom. How toxic can a community get. The mods made an event which i really have no idea what it could be but it‘s something new. I like it! Keep up your work guys :)
What i don‘t like is this community and their hate/salt comments. You are truly disgusting!

If you ever played Hysteria with priest in diamond/legend, you will notice how easy it is to actually play around it.
Hint: Play only one minion at time on the board, next turn if you have Chillwind Yeti on board and 5 mana left, do NOT play another minion until he die, yes PASS the turn with 5 mana or use spells/weapons/etc but do NOT play the other Chillwind Yeti or minion.
The priest (lock?) will be forced to sacrifice his own minion to kill it eventually or waste it for hand size.
Don't forget to add 10 mana cards in your deck, easy win bro.

They could have written this any other way and it would make more sense. But I'm pretty sure it has the combined effects of Corpsetaker (with different key words) and Countess Ashmore

People’s inability to understand cards is never short of baffling. Why do some people add text that doesn’t even exist on the card?
There are some people in here insinuating the mana gets spent to trigger the deathrattle, despite it saying that nowhere on the card.
It triggers the deathrattle if you CAN afford to play it this turn. Says nothing about spending the mana to trigger the deathrattle.
Read the card before trying to confuse the community.

You have a 1 mana draw option at the start of every single one of your turns for as long as you keep the Tradebable card in your hand and the keyword provides additional cheap draw for every "whenever you draw" card, like Stealer of Souls, for example.
This is easily the best keyword the game got in a long while. Especially because it helps slower decks more than aggro, and it requires a certain skill level of the player to make the right decision.

Step 1: don't read the cards
Step 2: don't watch what happens when you play the cards
Step 3: wonder what the hell happened here

A "second" target doesn't mean it cannot be the same target a second time. If that's what Blizzard meant, they would say a "different" target.

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

Would it be so hard to include a word instead of an image, especially for the keywords? Some of us don't have a photographic memory of every card...

Duels isn't a failure for me. It is really fun and a good source of gold if you have a decent Wild collection and can make competitive decks.

Why do you care? One person leaving means your chances of winning the lobby have increased. The removal of the 15-damage cap is neutral (it just means players get eliminated more quickly, which could work to your advantage), and isn't a reason to resent people for leaving.
Yes, the "flow" of the game changes, but the whole point of Battlegrounds is that you should adapt to the lobby you're given, instead of following a standard playbook each time.

It's correct, though. Honorable Kill checks on a per minion basis. Whenever you Honorable Kill a minion, you gain that particular minion's Attack. Using "minons" would erroneously imply that you gain all the minions' Attacks even if you only Honorable Killed one of them.

It's easier to deal with Oracle of Elune - to get value from her you need to play her on Turn 5 (unless combined with other mana cheating tools).
Razormane Battleguard is more problematic, and it shows in the win-rates when he is drawn.

This has to be literally the worst brawl ever created. Who thought it would be a good idea to create a Brawl where you literally only get to watch the AI stupidly play your cards for you.
And there is seemingly no attempt to balance the decks either. Mage got shafted with an all-spells Questline deck when the AI doesn't know how to complete the Quest (except accidentally) and can't benefit from the +5/+5 treasure. Priest AI seems deliberately programmed to cast buffs and HP on opponent's minions. Like wtf??

Use some basic common sense, please. What would be the point of rigging BG in this fashion? Why waste resources to assign each player a custom MMR cap and then adjust their triple rates on a case-by-case basis, just to make players unhappy?

It's not coming out until after Mercenaries is launched. So probably early November.
