The fact that it is Naga first for discount change a lot of thing, and a lot of people will mess up the order so it's fine

I don't know why this isn't 3 mana, is there some broken combo mechanics with it that I don't see yet ?

Can't wait to see that this legendary is going to be the only freeze support that shaman will get this expansion

Another wasted legendary for Shaman (I hope I'm wrong)

Playing with Secret Paladin in top 500 legend, and yes the deck feel very unfair. Kinda a checkmate most of time when you have the 2 secrets and minions on board.

Also there is an other list that might be even more powerfull with stealth 2 drops and Blessing of Authority that can otk you as soon as they draw Battlemaster.

I'm playing First Blade of Wrynn over Murgugle and Varian and it proves to be a great addition on the deck, 4 mana 3/5 divine shield is kind of great and it become even more absurd with Bannerman

Fortunately Battlemaster is getting nerfed soon, it is so broken on many decks.

I'm actually mad that the first reward is to equip a weapon, very anti-synergistic with Sword of the Fallen and the new 1 mana weapon

Face Hunter has always been the best deck at the beginning of every expansion, give it some time and it will slowly fade into Tier 2

Your post is more like "I lose to Face Hunter and Doom Shaman, nerf them"

Upgrade for Deathrattle DH

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think the set will have a big impact. I see a few cards that will be played but nothing exciting.

And priest getting another discover card, they really don't learn.

Yeah since Conviction didn't get nerfed, Paladin is still very strong. Sure First Day of School nerf (and yes, it is a nerf) affect paladin quite a bit, the Hysteria offset it.

Also, no more Crabrider, but Paladin have plenty of other option to fit the spot. and it really enjoy having Refreshing Spring Water to 5 mana

I expected these nerfs, kinda surprised about Hysteria but I'm glad they did it, it was so oppressive and impossible to play around when Priest can discover them so many times.

But, no Conviction nerf ? Really ? I was so sure that they were going to nerf it to 2 mana but they just didn't change it, like it doesn't carry Aggro and Secret Paladins on his own. Guess we can still expect a lot of Paladin on ladder.

And the buffs are laughable. Hope that the expansion mini set will be more exciting than this.

Lol? For Priest it makes little to no difference (except Kazakus Priest, which is probably dead at this point, because Hysteria is just too important in such aggresive meta). He still can discover many copies and mana cheat them, so it's not that big of a deal.

For Warlock is a huge hit though. Now he'll be even worse in aggro matchups, needing +1 mana to trigger Oh My Yogg! and to clear the board, which in his case is like life and death... literally.

 I've never said that Priest would give up on Hysteria, but the 1 mana does make a difference on this one.

And Warlock was bad even with 3 mana Hysteria, but I agree, they are going to struggle a lot more now

This is indeed disappointing,  Call me a cynic, but I'm predicting this will follow the usual pattern:

Step 1: Release news that adds monetization to a beloved game/feature or new game (e.g. Marvel Snap)  that is bound to be taken poorly by the community

Step 2: Amid the outcry, back away from the initial news, maybe even throw out a half-assed apology

Step 3: Release the "compromise" that gets you what you really wanted/expected anyway and tries to make you look like the good guy for listening to the community

I'm guessing Step 3 in this case will be allowing the 2 extra hero choices to be eventually bought with Hearthstone gold, or maybe a compromise of offering 3 choices to everyone but 4 to the Season Pass holders.  The way this stands now will kill the casual player pool for BG.

Jesus this is lazy and boring. I don’t even care if this would be strong (it’s not), but man how lazy making them the animal companions. 

Absolutely beyond uninteresting. 

Ofc they have to squeeze a few Mana cheating cards like this for every expansion.
Regardless if it is a good card or not, I just dislike mana cheating in general, they could lead to unintentional powerful combos somewhere... They haven't learned their lessons...

My prediction:  your 8-10 mana cards from the miniset will see zero play comnpetitively.

 thx for the response, good to know I wasnt off the mark with this. cheers. 

By God! A card reveal! I thought these things had faded into myth!

I know you're a sore loser. I'm not a troll, and my post history shows that. You got beat. I know you're doing the whole "high route" bit, but you're already exposed for being what you are. Whether I'm being ignored or not, I definitely don't care.

 Warsong wrangler is so slow.. this is simply another one of those posts where certain cards defeated you, and now ya gotta cut some cards heads off. Even though your post looks well thought out, and intellectually sound while you're reading it. That's all this post is. That's all this forum is.

I respect your opinion, but how about elaborating more?

Like I said before, Warsong Wrangler has one of the highest win rates in Face Hunter deck, and I think we can all agree that Face Hunter is OP and a card or two must be nerfed.

Statistical data is on my side. What is on yours?

 There will always be a highest win rate card in every deck. This is not why you nerf a card. And we cannot all agree that face hunter is OP.

Honestly, I'm not impressed. Priest gets more card generation and removal (aka things he's already good at), but still lacks win condition. Shaman still lacks draw (one card is not enough) and win condition, Warlock still... is Warlock, the meme class, so nothing changed. *REAL* Paladin nerf is good though, probably the best thing in this patch.
