Hearthpwn

I opened another 15 packs earlier, I think its in the running for worst set of packs ever :(

12 of the 15 packs had 4 non-golden commons and 1 non-golden rare

1 pack had 1 golden common, 3 non-golden commons, and 1 non-golden rare

1 pack had 4 non-golden commons and 1 non-golden epic

and 1 pack had 1 golden common, 2 non-golden commons, 1 rare, 1 epic

grand total:

2 golden commons

14 rares

2 epics

0 legendaries

 pretty pitiful. to make things worse, that's about average for me over about 60 packs I've opened now...

edit:

so finally got back in. 18 packs (90 cards) opened, final tally:

0 legendary

3 epic (1 golden)

19 rare

68 common (2 golden)

16 of those 68 commons were the 3rd or 4th copy of the card (and both goldens were of cards I had 4 regular copies of)

that's probably as bad as it can get.

they all died and you're the only survivor of the zombie apocalypse. your brain is looking mighty tasty if I may say so...

but but but golden nozdormu looks so amazing ;(

I hate any rush deck, but Zoo and Aggro Pally chief among them. The back and forth of strategic play and counterplay is what's fun about the game, which rush decks mindlessly and joyously eliminate. They're generally not that hard to beat, but its not fun, and I honestly can't imagine anyone actually enjoying playing with them, either.

card art for both is amazing. not voting, as I don't twitter, but I'd lean toward the druid as, after a long time as my least played class, its become one of my top 3, and I also like the art just slightly more than the hunter one.

next expansion spoiled: Pirates vs. Ninjas!

Only at its best when you're really behind on the board and in that situation it's too slow IMO.  Still fun, though.  Might be cool to pick up in Arena, maybe.  I think they could have made it deal its damage to all enemies at it wouldn't be OP.

not so sure about that. if you play it when your opponent has nothing it basically prevents them from playing something (especially multiple somethings) unless they can remove it directly.

I wonder if you attack into a taunt with Ogre Warmaul if you could hit a creature behind it or the enemy player himself

I already hate when my Mad Bomber throws 3 bombs in my face. Now I have to deal with 6 bombs in my face?! Haha. Ugh

so much this. mad bomber is one of my absolute least favorite cards (to play, not play against) for this reason. its entirely possible I will never play this card once, ever.

I didn't pre-order it myself but I think it's totally worth it. GvG changed the meta only a bit. It mostly created few new mech decks and shaped few existing decks. But I think TGT will turn the meta upside down.

Some cards revealed yesterday will totally change the game. Hunter in example. More card draw and decent early boardwipe will generate new hunter decks while making old ones possible to play. Deathrattle hunter, midrange hunter, beast hunter, control hunter- you couldn't play them before but now you can play all of them. Now suddenly there are Deathrattle, midrange, beast, control, face and hybrid hunters. Now I don't think they will all be OP but I think they will all be playable.

Another good example is Shaman. I think 2 new shaman decks will provably become a thing: Overload shaman and totem shaman. Suddenly you have overload, totem, deathrattle and mech shaman. Shaman has been pretty weak lately but suddenly it's totally playable.

I can go on and on how much TGT will change the meta but I think the best thing about TGT is that it will create a LOT more new decks unlike GvG that just gave us mechmage.. And I am really happy that we are getting closer to the point where there are just so many deck types that you may never know what your opponent is playing.

So TGT is awesome, if you can pre-order! :)

This is just my own observation, so it's not a blanket statement but for how much it's discussed/bitched about/TGT improvements & NERFs I really don't see it... like ever. 

Currently rank 6 on NA servers and can probably count on 1 hand how many times I've played vs. this deck this season.

Am I alone on this?

I understand why of all classes, Paladins were chosen and most suitable for this expansion; however, I wonder whether it was necessary to just pinpoint one class unless they plan to do this with other classes in the future?

They are getting us prepared because they will be releasing this card next!

I swear, 90% of this forum is permanently stuck in an aggro mindset. Anything that doesn't fit in or directly counters aggro decks is immediately labelled as bad.

4/1, Stealth, 8 mana, Battlecry: Set your enemy Hero's health to 14. Now that's a card for druids Kappa

Seriously now, I'd like to see a summon effect for legendaries, just like our favorite 3/4 demon, would that be op?

Patron is just another strong deck out there, that has its strengths and weaknesses. Yes, there can be crazy damage bursts and OTK's - which are a result of a whole game plan where you dump at least 5-6 cards in one turn.

It's not fun and non-interactive to play against? Face Hunter / Face Paladin has zero interaction and kills you by turn 6/7 by simply clicking the mouse in one direction. Freeze Mage has it's own agenda and you just have to find a way to solve a puzzle and not die. Oil Rogue has 20 damage burst. You have to always keep your health above 14 when playing against a Druid.

People are calling Frothing Berserker and Warsong Commander broken. They've existed in the game before but no one played them besides not-so-popular Math Warrior? Then what's the problem - must be the Grim Patron! Nah, this guy on its own is just there for good board presence.

Like mentioned above, what makes Patron Warrior so strong is Emperor Thaurissan. There is no Warsong > Frothing x 2 > Grim Patron > WW x2 without it and never will be. Emperor is a staple in Handlock, Freeze Mage and often Druid to name a few. He enables a lot of crazy things.

Personally I don't think the deck is bad. In my opinion it is healthy for a game where a class has a few deck archetypes and hopefully as the game develops we will see just that. Every deck that is out there has some degree of "unfair" going for it, just keep that in mind.

Calm down. They meant reveal both earlier than you'd see the one that wasn't voted for. Not the clearest of language, but it's what you'd expect given a very precise announcement schedule. 

Practically obligatory pessimists aside, this is great news! Looking forward to the announcement tomorrow. Nice to get two legendary announcements just a week after TGT is announced!

To me THIS is the most interesting card shown so far!
