Card Review
KiwiiNbacon has reviewed the new cards.
I cant wait for people to coin out Kalecgos and wonder what happened
Damn... Yeah... it is almost like discovering keleseth with stitched tracker!
Dude, no jokes, I actually tried to do that some time ago. It took me few seconds to realize how stupid that idea was xD
Coin Kalecos Concede new meta
neither showed cards nor the new three mechanics seems interesting so far. Maybe this time they're keeping most interesting cards for later?
I'd have to disagree sir.
Chef Nomi: *Sweats* No, player, the cards in your deck aren't burned. They are just... slightly overcooked.
This set is already looking like garbage, i hope this is the bottom of the barrel (minus hagatha's scheme)
ehh was trying to buy the pre-order while you still got a bonus legendary, right as I was trying to buy it they took the store down.
For fun I am totally going to Hemet, Jungle Hunter turn 6 turn, 7 Chef Nomi , then Academic Espionage
Why not think bigger? Preparation + Myra’s Unstable Element + Chef Nomi.
Now you got a full hand, full board, and only have to suffer fatigue once (Unless you use another Preparation on Espionage in that same turn). Plus it’s hard to predict if you did all of that in one sudden turn.
you expect to live this long in wild?
inb4 Hemet+Nomi beatdown Rogue becomes tier 1 in wild.
in all honestly that doesn't even sound bad. If Gallery Priest worked, then why not this.
Hemet is Wild then.
Kalecgos, probably the first card i craft !
I know, everyone hyped about new expansion, me too, but here was small teaser about 2nd or 3d exp. of this year: he said: "..from flying cities to ancient depths" I think it's Ulduar or Naga related something.
Aren’t the legendaries from the preorder Golden ?
Kalecgos is one badass dragon!
2:28 and 6:14 ... Just saying.
