Quote from DaxxarriRikkar stood on the intricately cobbled path and gazed up at the fabled Gurubashi Arena. Ever since he was a little troll, he’d dreamt of being here, preparing to compete at the legendary Rumble. As the crowd streamed past him toward the gates, he paused to savor the moment: the thrill of anticipation on the air, the roar of the crowd in the stands, the grimaces of pain as chumps paid the scalper for last minute tickets. Nothing in the world was like Rastakhan’s Rumble!
Rikkar had spent his whole life preparing for this moment (and bought his tickets two years ago. He wasn’t foolish). Last time the Rumble was held, Rikkar was small enough to watch the action from his father’s shoulders, screaming at the top of his lungs along with the crowd as he witnessed High Priest Thekal clinch the final for the Tigers over the Sharks. He knew it then: someday HE would be down on the sands, and the crowd would be roaring HIS name!
As he joined the long line leading into the arena, the team posters that adorned the walls caught his eye. They were pristine, unlike his well-loved, but creased and faded collection back at the village.
The Tigers! Now there was a team! Rikkar could see himself earning Shirvallah’s favor and wearing the gold. He’d been training all his life: he had the eye of the tiger . . . the thrill of the fight . . . the wing of a bat . . . and a few other animal parts, just in case. Rikkar came prepared.
One thing you could say for the Bats, Hir’eek’s team knew how to get the job done. And shriek. And do absolutely anything it takes to win. Rikkar had to respect the initiative.
Why be a Bat when you could be a Rhino though? No fancy tactics or thinking. Got a problem? Smash it! Don’t got a problem? Smash it anyway! Plus, everybody loves War Master Voone. Not only are Voone’s parties legendary, rumor has it that he’s got friends in high places. Blackrock Mountain is pretty high up, right?
Rikkar couldn’t believe it. Twenty years later, he was finally part of the crowd thronging into the Gurubashi Arena. His heart was resolved: he wasn’t just here to watch the spectacle this time. He was here to compete! Somehow. . . .
He just needed a chance to prove himself!
But which team would he join? Which Loa would he pledge himself to?

Ticket Scalper is a great arena card and appears like a fun card. Curious if Overkill works when your opponent attacks this Ticket Scalper minion. Heavy Metal felt inevitable. Will probably be experimented with but I don't see this card meta breaking.
Yip without a body, how exciting...
Heavy metal. Rock is coming
Ticket Scalper is a packfiller for sure, but Heavy Metal is kinda cool, I think it could see some play in a Value-type deck.
Ooo, a Geosculptor Yip effect! Interesting, could be a build around card.
like Gather Your Party? Yeah I don't think that'S gonna be worth it.
Heavy Metal is just 6 mana for Geosculpter Yip's ability, 2 mana less and lose all the stats. Seems a bit lazy to me
i guess they were going for more consistency for armor stacking decks, but it really just comes off as a poor attempt at giving warrior his own spiteful Summoner
You guys need to understand how rotations work. We are about to have 3 full sets of cards leave standard. So, in order for a card like Arcane Dynamo to exist and not basically be "draw exactly this one card you need", Rastakhan's Rumble and the first set of the spring year will have to contain multiple 5-10 cost spells for every class to make up for the ones that are leaving in Un'goro, KoFT and K&C.
Heavy Metal is a card that might see experimentation, but it is also a card that will prevent early spring Control Warriors from running two Arcane Dyanmo just to draw two extra Brawl.
Blizzard's RNG card generation demands a lot of time from the development team to create high and low cards for the RNG card generation to make sure they aren't auto win.
heavy metal is nuts, will definitely see play in control warrior but it is a shame that its even costed because odd warrior would love it more.
Both good potentially but both are kinda slow.
