Iconic hand? 

Those this means like tournament famous hand?

It's weird

 They will take the best winning decks from each year according to internal stats and give you one, simple as that. You don’t have to think past their own data , whatever that might be.  The best card ever is the 10 year anniversary Mega bundle hero toon and they don’t even revert it to the original, if only for a week…. Pretty sad…imo. 

I updated the game earlier and resumed battlegrounds play to 400 on the reward track. I’m at 315 right now so should be able to finish with no problem before the new set drops.  Hit D5 on twist mode while FO at work completing quests. I spent 139.50 and bought  all the new content plus the mega bundle. I’m going to blow the wad and open all 800+ packs I’ll have for the 10 year expansion and hit the dust all button for 250k+ dust on release day. 

Anyone else going for 400 on the reward track as well? Let’s start a thread with progress pics!

nerf mercs…..hahahaha sorry but you have to just nuke the entire system for me not to get 200 packs for 19.99.

To make an educated guess, the hands have to:

A) have been part of a strong and widely played deck at some point. 

B) do something clear and coherent. Not just a selection of good cards or an archetypical control warrior hand.

C) make some amount of sense for the point in the game you play Harth. No aggro openers.

D) can't have cards with deckbuilding restrictions. No highlander, no C'thun, no Barnes, etc.

E) Is at least a couple years old. Probably not anything after ashes of outland or later.

The "once per game" thing tells me one of the hands has shadowstep. It could also point to Shudderwock. I wouldn't be surprised to see a patron warrior hand. Force of nature + savage roar would work too. Freeze mage hand. I'm worried about how many of these are burst combos. I expect one of them to have OG Yogg Saron. Pop off hands involving Lyra, mechwarper, or gadgetzan auctioneer would be on the table.

It only took them 10 years to add (Once per game) battlecry effect. Harth Stonebrew battlecry pretty much confirms to me that Rogue's Shadowstep will never ever leave the core set. Leeroy is back in the standard core set so you know what that means, Rogues decks will definitely try to fit in Shadowstep x2 + Leeroy from the start of the year until either Leeory gets nerfed or the year ends and Leeroy rotates out.

Anyways, enough rant about Shadowstep. I am not really a fan of either Harth nor the gifts and I kinda wish what they do was more on the quirky side than viability.

People always seem to cry about rogue OMG COMBO POTENTIAL that turns out... pretty average

I look at Harth card and I only see bugs. Who wants to bet it will be bugged when will launch ? Probably will break your game or will make you restart your pc.

 How will it be bugged? What gives you that thought other than your feelings?

I can definitely see where you're coming from lol

What does temporary mean??? ... if its play it this turn or it disappears , then how am i supposed to play mind control which is still at 10 mana

Mind Control is 9 Mana now, probably exactly because of this card.

There sometimes Is Tavern Brawl with "iconic" world championship decks so maybe It could be something like that. You get the hand from deck that world champions won their match with?

 That was my guess.

I love this cards, I love the effect, love the art, love them. They are basically the Tellstones from Runeterra. I think that some are cleanest than others. Like I wouldn't put Chaos Strike, I would choose Spectral Sight, and instead of having Swipe and Feral Rage in the same pool, I would choose another more defensive oriented card. But they look great. I don't quite identify what is Garrosh gift. I think I saw that chest before but is blinking from my mind.

I like how they said they would reveal the effect of Harth but its effect dosn't tell you anything about how the card works. But the Once Per Game effect it's kinda a big deal, not in this card cause I don't know what it does, but there is a lot of designs that are good but become problematic with bounce effects and such, and this would be the perfect fix for that. Imagine living in a World when Astalor Bloodsworn only triggers once per phase and not like 7. It couldn't be me.

Garrosh chest is from his iconic shoulders, Tusks of Mannoroth.

Malfurion's is probably good, it will be one of Druid's few ways to ramp. Jaina's could be good if the class lacks burn or draw, not sure what the card pool looks like. Uther's is really good for control if you are already running Equality. Valeera's is probably good just because it's a cheap way to cast a lot of spells. Gul'dan's seems really flexible, probably my favorite. Garrosh's is a 3 mana shield block which is good on its own.

Dunno what Harth does. Sounds like a hail mary.

Hoping that the Innkeeper card will offer the Reckful missing lethal hand

bro, that comment made me LOL. That would be hilarious. I remember when people made a meme of putting the screenshot of his hand secretly inside of other images. Good times

11+4 was literally my first thought when I saw the card! Even before things like Patron Warrior or miracle rogue. That hand was so damn funny that he was getting sent memes for several months straight about it.

What is the iconic hand thing?

basically, imagine getting 2 grim patrons, a deaths bite, warsong commander, 2 inner rages, 2 frothing berserkers in your hand.

or the next time you get everything you need for a shudderwok, miracle rogue/edwin, cubelock etc.
