Card Review
KiwiiNbacon has reviewed the new cards.
yee, the webpage says golden legendary from rise of shadow, the other one is regular, but on the store page it just says random legendary. they better fix this i almost bought the bundle. now ima wait
shitty cards so far(except 1)...Im not impressed at all
Have to bear in mind when they come in to play we'll have lost 3 very powerful sets at the same time.
Just curious, which one is good? Because I'd argue that Rafaam, Kalecgos, Forbidden Words, and Hagathas scheme all seem powerful and interesting.
On one hand it's awesome priest is getting a new hero, the only thing that upsets me is I was actually hoping to see what Madame Lazul's card would be
Am I the only one who is deeply saddened by the fact that the trailer song isn't really up to standards this time around?
Don't get me wrong, the expansion looks REALLY promising, but still...
Well, call me Moby Dick cause i am certainly gonna be a whale this expansion! (New hero priest brings a tear to my eyes).
Bug that they've fixed it seems. Shop is closed and it no longer works. Expecting people to lose their "free" card
Far from the best trailer they have made, but the cards look nice - I'm officially hyped. I really hope they will take priest in another, more control oriented, direction instead of OTK/Resurrect decks.
What? Explain it. Take photos, please.
Rafaam chillin, lookin cool with his infinity gauntlet
So this is officially the way to get alternate heroes now... Pay $80.
Fuck Blizzard, respectfully.
There are people on this site who still defend this practice too. I warned everyone this would happen last year. https://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/220085-activision-blizzard-has-gone-too-far-with-the-mega#c1
But hey, Bobby Kotick loves those who say it’s just cosmetic. That means more money for him.
Lets form Entitlement-tron!
Form “Ungrateful” Legs!
Form “Complaining” Arms!
Form “I should be given other peoples hard work for FREE” Head!
Hooray, again Mega bundle and normal bundle and legendary as pre order bonus!
LOVE that Arch-Villain Rafaam has Taunt and good stats - Means that it WILL actually see play
I received Nefarian in gold?

wins if either player is destroyed
is this a bug?
I am - he is great. I'm in my 30's. When you get to a mature age you learn to take yourself a bit less seriously.

what about the 20$ bundle that has the adventures and 15 packs?
