Yes, no info, but pre release will start april 5th, That's mean they will add ALL cards in client 4th and reveal all cards 3d.
Almost sure in this weekend they will announce 1st reveal stream on monday or tuesday. Community reveals will start 2 weeks before as always, wednesday, i think. Oh, maybe, they will post about story things or about new mechanics in this weekend, but not sure about last.

I do agree they do them alot, however flavor wise and play wise it makes sense.
Rafaam is Boss of an evil team of Legendaries makes sense for him to do something based on recruiting new members so Turning your deck in legendaries does make sense. Also he comes from LOE with the Golden Monkey, so its a good throwback.

Quote from Dinomaniak >>I'm always excited when new mechanics are added to the game.
However, this isn't a NEW mechanic. Play the same card twice. We already have that,
The main differences from Echo are that :
1) we can play it in a different turn as well.
2) we can't play it more than twice ( unless it's extended with the shaman frog, etc. )
Not excited, extremely disappointed.
Um....you can keep it in your hand and play it on another turn kinda makes it something completely different and unrelated to Echo. So yeah. It's new.
As for complaints that it's not "innovative" enough, some of these kids are too spoiled. They introduce new mechanics every expansion. That's not easy to do in any kind of balanced way. The really different ones like recruit end up being OP. I'd much rather a new mechanic be underwhelming than oppressive.

Well I was kinda hyped for this expansion because of rafaam but seeing him now , he seems pretty boring & actually kinda bad, Zoolock doesn’t need this shit , it’s just too slow.
I'm not sure. On the one hand, people predicted Azalina Soulthief would be used by aggro decks as a last push and that never happened. On the other hand, we've seen every Hunter except Odd play Deathstalker Rexxar, so if a card provides enough value, it will be played in a deck even if it has no synergy with it.
Would have been great if it was a neutral card instead of a class card for Warlock.Tbh Lord Jaraxxus gives better value than this guy & he doesn’t see play either
The value of Jaraxxus is fantastic, but the tempo is not: it takes one turn before you can use the hero power and another turn before the 6/6 can attack. This combined with the health reset means it's not easy to play Jaraxxus and not die before his value kicks in. Since Arch-Villain Rafaam has decent stats and taunt, it's a much safer play.
I'm thinking this new Rafaam could be decent in Control Warlock: they often have lots of cards in hand, so more chances to get good random legendaries. With Bloodreaver Gul'dan and Rin, the First Disciple gone from Standard, Control Warlock needs a new way to close out games.

Quote from GentilleMouche >>Meh.
I don't particularly like any of those villains. Togwaggle is just a kobold with fat belly and basic kobold traits. Hagatha is just a female orc with male skin. Rafaam is an ethereal thief okay whatever. Dr boom is just a goblin engineer with basic goblins traits, main character in 2 expansions already.
I just want new cards I don't even care about the trailer anymore, I already know it's the most boring expansion thematically.
The problem is with you sadly... Nothing will be good enough for you, because you are only a sad little cry-baby... I'm feeling bad for you

I think these teasers don't tell the story of the next expansion, but the story of the new singleplayer content. All these "squad members" have been singleplayer bosses of the last expansions. 5 bosses for 5 diffenent chapters. All beaten in singleplayer mode (exept for the fortune teller). Seems pretty legit these bosses want their revenge in a singleplayer mode. My guess for the 5th member is the Lich King since we also beat him up in the Koft solo adventure.

since there are no unique cards earned from this (sans the gimmick card at the end) and you just get packs, you are just paying for the experience.
There's no reason to pay for it if you dont want said experience.

The adventures do NOT come with any new cards! The packs they grant are for the old expansions.
=> If you only care about PvP, just ignore them
=> If you want to play PvP and all PvE content, you are now paying for 6 expansions a year but only get cards from 3. You do however have the benefit of getting more solo content then before.
Overall, I think this is a pretty neutral change, no one can really be mad about it. That is, IF the one free wing you get is about as much solo content as you got in previous expansions (Dungeon run, Monster hunt, Puzzle Lab, Rumble Battles). I can easily see them scaling the free part back though... We have to wait and see

You mean, the last 3+ years of Druid dominance weren't enough for you? Some guys, man...

I think the biggest problem with Shudderwock isn’t the Grumble shenningins, as the’yd never happen if you can’t clone shdderwocks, its saronite chain gang. I propose that the wording on Saronite Chain Gang should be changed to “summon a Saronite Chain Gang that is a copy of this minion” and dopplegangster subsequently changed as well. This makes it more complex, while not removing CG’s other effects (like duplicating val’nyrs).
