Only two cards till now, bad epics, mage is loosing a lot of and gain nothing. So sad.

Camel Control.  :)

They revealed cards on the weekends during the Hearthstone championships... that's how we found out about Infestate and the other cards that were revealed that day...

Yeah man, maybe I'm too angry hehehe. Garbage was too much, but on turn 5, I think this card is bad, It's too slow, too expensive to help you comeback in a bad game. I like mage class so much, I'm disappointed

Quote from codyischida >>

Mage is my favorite class, and two cards showed till now are garbege, so sad man. Rogue, only 2 cards too. Where are the new cards?

 A ton of Priests play Deathlord on turn 1 with coin, then buff it next turn worth Velen's Chosen /Power Word: Shield. 

 

 Just to interject for a moment, that series of plays isn't possible. Deathlord costs 3 mana, and so does Velen's Chosen.

Some classes have perfect counters, but not all, and most classes don't have cards to remove him at the very beginning of the game, him being at such high health. 

 If as a Priest you have to play Deathlord early vs midrange or control deck - you have a tough game ahead of you.

And again: "What can class X do about card Y in a Z matchup" - Fiery War Axe, anyone?

 Deathlord is also super broken in Priest as its often turned into a 12+ health taunt minion next turn after it's played...

Having played it from Priest side countless times - I can point out that some classes have perfect counters to it. Which makes up for overall balance, imo. I'm sad to see it go from Standard.

And before we go "What can class X do about card Y in a Z matchup", think - it always been that way.

i still cant believe how people voted for 2 random spells instead of cho'gall......

The last few days the card releases have been throttled.  Tuesday they only revealed 2 cards and yesterday only 1 card.  Why are they allowing siren with the reveals all of a sudden?

Zombie Chow definitely shouldn't be in Standard because its so good that it invalidates the existence of every other Control 1-drop they ever decide to make.

Plz, share all those control 1-drops that blizzard printed in the last 2 years that were overshadowed by Zobie Chow? If you think that will change, than maybe it should rotate out but I'm not really optimistic.

Lowly Squire for one. Buccaneer, Injured Kvaldir and Pit Snake are also up there. Tentacle of N'Zoth has a decent chance of filling a Zombie Chow-esque role in decks other than Patron but it won't in Wild because Zombie Chow is just better.

What I was primarily refering to was new 1-drops going forward.

You are just messing with me? How are Buccaneer,Injured Kvaldir and Pit Snake control cards??? Maybe Lowly Squire. Tentacle of N'Zoth is not a Zombie Chow-esque card; it's a combo enabler card for patrons or board clear combo card with Ravaging Ghoul

 How can you call Injured Kvaldir anything other than a control card? It was designed specifically as a 1-drop for Priest. Pit Snake and Buccaneer are both VERY powerful control tools. If you don't know that you've clearly never tinkered with them as I have. They just so happen to also be good aggressively.

I see no reason why Tentacle of N'Zoth can only be used in patron. It has a lot more potential than just that and is very powerful against aggressive decks. I didn't say Tentacle of N'Zoth is a Zombie Chow-esque card. The two cards operate very differently. What I said that it could be USED as a Zombie Chow-esque card as in, its a one drop you use to counter aggro.

Easy. Only deck Injured Kvaldir is played in is Desert Camel hunter. Is that a control deck??? Pit Snake and Buccaneer are classic rogue tempo cards; usually very aggressive. Is that a control deck?

I think we can agree to disagree about Tentacle of N'Zoth. We will see in a couple of weeks who was right. I think its unplayable as agrro counter.

I'm so sick of Deathlord. Will be nice to hit Mill Rogue in the face. Over and over and over again. 

 I take the exact opposite viewpoint, being a Mill Rogue fan.

I am concerned that the loss of Deathlord will be a massive blow for my pet deck, so this is the #1 card which I'd like to see return to standard.

Indeed, I'm not quite sure how anyone can be so frustrated by Mill Rogue that they are desperate to see Deathlord go? I mean, you only get paired up with Mill Rogue perhaps one game in fifty. When you beat Mill, you beat it quite swiftly and, when you lose to it, it is typically after a very interesting struggle. Mill Rogue never just ups and batters you.

I heard they were turning her into a Priest-only card and making it 3 mana....  😉

New reveals are being throttled. We have been seeing 3 or 4 new cards a day and lately that number has gone down to 1-2 a day.... what gives?

It'll be fun to play this right before Brawl.
