Pretty sure Thrive in Shadows' cost of 2 and Northern Navigation's cost of 2 are identical. Unless one is a very small value of 2 and the other a very large value of 2?

Since the last patch there are several cards that produce minions on board which are causing this-essentially they are creating an invisible minion. The game knows it's there, but you can't interact with it. Emergency Maneuvers is an example of this, when it triggers it creates an invisible, unclickable copy of the minion that died. The good thing (?) is that global effects still impact the invisible minion, so it can be removed by something like Twisting Nether for example.

Mutanus rotates out when the Core Set changes occur, so still just Dirty Rat as a neutral minion disruptor.
1
There is one noticeable Wild impact-Grimestreet Outfitter now has *two* attack, nerfing it to no longer be tutorable by Crystology.
2
It's actually been 1000 gold every time, you can still find some of the old Reddit threads about previous brawls and people reference the 1000 gold entry.
2
Entry is 1000 gold, not 1500.
3
So when Brawliseum replaces the normal brawl (depriving everyone of that week's Standard pack) everyone bitches, but when they then add a quest to give everyone that same pack (for playing one game in *any* mode) it's "predatory"?
Some people are never happy...
1
It's impossible to reroll a Core card, core cards are given for free not opened from packs.
1
All Path of Arthas cards are dustable, because you had to buy them, they weren't given for free.
3
Neither Deathwhisper nor Frostmourne are from the expansion...they are from Path of Arthas. You only get offered a reroll from the same set as the extra Legendary. Since you already owned all the Legendaries from Path of Arthas you were offered a duplicate instead.
