TGT Launches Tomorrow
One month after its initial announcement, The Grand Tournament launches tomorrow on August 24th. Unfortunately, we don't have a official launch time yet from Blizzard, but there was some computer clock trickery that was allowing us to see the sealed packs ribbon removed at 2 PM EDT on Aug 24. This still isn't official confirmation, so take it with a grain of salt. Important info:
- Last chance to safely pre-order for your Triumphant card back and 10 "free" packs is today.

Terrible top 10 list.
Fortunately I've never played WoW so I couldn't judge the pronunciation of that video. Still, I think StrifeCro is a little too enamored with Shaman. Although no doubt totems got a real boost.
I agree with the list - kinda. Darnassus Aspirant is not top-tier material imo, at least not 'auto-include'. You do end up losing the mana crystal after all, and druids really like ramping to turn 7 at least.
And Thunder Bluff Valiant definitely deserves a spot somewhere on that list. An acceptable body with an insane ability? Damn son
A wild growth for 2 mana? Technically no downside? You know, you lose the mana crystal on like turn 3 or 4. Druids have insane 7-drops that like to get ramped out, ramping out 4 or 5-drops isn't the main advantage of wild growth.
So you generally force to trade a removal spell or a creature into it by that turn, or you keep the mana crystal and the body.
That's already upside. It slows down face decks because they can't afford to ignore it, freeze it, polymorph it - they NEED to kill it for the deathrattle.
Beyond that, it can punish mirror entity (deny them the battlecry but give them the -crystal deathrattle) and it's a sort of nerf to shredder, as well.
It's an incredible card.
And if you played your summoner and I played my aspirant, I'd take out the summoner and still have my aspirant + crystal.
The extra health is absolutely massive, almost neccessary for a turn-2 play. A straight-up 2 health minion on turn 2 simply isn't sticky enough.
Because they can see the future, duh.
totemic might xD LOL!!!!!!!
TGT launches tomorrow and Im going to graduate in 3 days. Ohhhh I know how I am going to enjoy my free time
Congratulations! You deserve the free time :)
I don't think that you can't do the top 10 while you still can't see how it will can the wider meta. People write off cards like zombie chow when they first come out and now a lot of decks use it.
Worst top 10 ever
Not a great top10 imo :)
hmmm idk about that top 10 list
atleast 12 hours to go
Where is Aviana?
Wow, that list was terrible. I'd highly recommend StrifeCro's top 10 list.
Can't wait for the launch! After much deliberation, I'm finally caving and pre-ordering the 50 packs and card back today. ^_^
it might be the troggzor of tgt
