Hearthpwn

It's way better now, not even close.

The card got buffed, so there is only one version of the card.

The xp boost is what makes the pass worth it. You can potentially earn 1000's of extra gold. 

I'd like to see something underwater

This is a significant buff. Do you know anything about Hearthstone???

The card was legitimantly insane. It's now a very fair card. 

Yes? Did you miss the whole boomsday speel?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this guy is just 'good'. Not great, not even Very Good. Slightly above mediocre. And I will admit I think there's a strong chance I'm wrong on this, considering the potential power of the effect, but dammit, I'm sticking to my gut feeling on this one. lol

He's obviously best used with either strong aoe or strong single target removal, both of which will require the player to have an abundance of mana. So, he's effectively only playable at 7+ mana or more, depending on your class. Then, you have to have the strong removal in hand while you also have him in hand. Finally, your opponent has to have something valid on their side of the field worthy of playing it on. That is actually quite a bit of criteria necessary to make him amazing or '5 star'. Of course, you can always play him sub-optimally. You can tempo him out as a simple 5 mana 4/6, or you could just "steal" a weak minion or minions, depending on your opponent's board and/or the removal in hand, the latter being IMO the most common scenario. He does have that tiny bit of flexibility but that doesn't lend him credence of being a 5 star game changer.

When everything falls into place, he can single handedly win you the game. Oh, that shaman just played Galakrond and now has four 8/8s with rush? LOLZ, Kel'Thuzad + Shadow Word: Ruin. Mine now b*tch! But honestly, how often will that scenario happen? Or, the Hail Mary Kel'Thuzad + Brawl where he happens to win and you literally steal your opponent's entire board. Of course that'll be good...great even, but it won't be reliable. What I do think will happen for the first 2 weeks is something along the lines of Kel'Thuzad + (spell) where you get one mediocre to above average minion, like your opponent's Armorsmith, Imprisoned Felmaw, maybe something slightly stronger on Turn 9ish. And let's face it, if that is the average expected outcome in most games, then it won't be much more than simply 'a good card'. And don't get me wrong, a turn 9 4/6 + 5/4 while removing your opponent's 5/4, while not bad by any means, is not going to exactly break the meta.

This is just my speculation with what we know right now. We still have an entire expansion left to be revealed, so anything is possible. I just fear this card is going to be overhyped where everyone thinks it's the next Zilliax and will be an auto-include everywhere where in reality, it's just a decent card that'll be tried out in a few decks before it finally finds a home in one or two or otherwise completely forgotten.

 Dude the synergy with Torrent is disgusting 

They should monetize every monthly cardback, it's just smart business. Have the cardbacks from 2014 cost 500/2.99, 2015 400/2.50 etc. For those complaining about exclusivity, that ship sailed once they offered the raganaros cardback in a tavern brawl. People need to accept that the only things that will remain exclusive are the pre-order bundle heroes.

Cant wait to draft this on arena <3

The Darkness BROKEN!!!! 3 mana 19/20

First of all, clarification needed. So much clarification needed.

If it chooses 'useful' spells in a similar manner to Zephrys the Great, then this is maybe the most broken thing I've seen? Literally impossible to stick a board against it. It lasts six turns. It can cast burn spells for lethal. It lasts six turns. If there's nothing to remove you get secrets, summons, and card draw. For six turns. For free. 

It can't just be Zephrys. There's no way... it can't just be six turns of Zephrys for six mana.

I guess in the very worst case everyone runs viper, and the card is still really good but doesn't win automatically.

Agrred, hit legend in Twist but barely play standard, no rewards to start the month

I also only got 9 stars, even though I've been getting 10 stars for years.

I hope this gets fixed, the last push is already a grind, I don't want that grind to double because of a bug.

This has happened in the past and in those cases people DID get the rewards, but they just did not get the graphics to go with it.

Like pack opening, it seems like the moment the season rolls over for you, the rewards get added to your account, even if you have not confirmed opened them.

 I did not get any packs or new cards. 

 Same - I'm wondering if it was because my saved Twist rank was higher than my Standard

Mostly, but the initial Silver Hands aren't Undead, which might be an inconvenience for DK, and the Ghouls are worse for Paladin. Also, if you want to limit the number of Deathrattles in your deck (when using Boneshredder), Reborn is the better mechanic.

it is the better card in most cases when you only care about stats, and the worse card when you are trying to build something more specific, in which case you probably wouldn't use either.

So... yes, it is better.
