that they were aware that people do not find it fun and the reward is not enough atm
Great stream. Enjoyable.
Thumbs up for the male community manager. As someone in the PR business, I know that anything that has to do with communications is one of the most sexist branches out there. Good for you, mate, I'm glad that you've managed to land this job!
"Meet in Dalaran over Deadwind Pass. I have a plan. A horribly dangerous plan... but a plan nonetheless!"
- Archmage Khadgar
Khadgar into Power of Creation could be insane. 4 copies of a 6 cost minion you get to discover.
Reckless Rocketeer 5/2 chargespam
Damaged Stegotron 5/12 tauntwall
Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk

Because those are card that become way way too powerful when you have enough of them. Right now bomb warrior can put at least 6-8 bomb in you opponent deck which like 30-40 dmg already . That literally kill all class that can't heal , Mage , Rogue , Hunter , Lock lost ability to consistent heal themselves to keep their hp out of range. And if you are that evil , combine them with Elek and double the about of the bomb shuffle in.
When you have 6 card that give you win condition with not bad stat in the class that good at control and stay alive. Blastmaster will become more powerful that it look. 7 mana 7/7 that summon 2 boom bot is scary enough but 7 mana 7/7 that summon twice or trice of that amount of boom bot are way way way too powerful.
A deck with 3 Dr Boom’s?! I’m sold.
Public Service announcement:
Contracts not displayed are 1)Destroy a Minion, summon a 1/1 patient assassin with poisonous. 2) Destroy a Minion, add 2 coins to your hand
End of Public Service Announcement
If the meta would actually allow any of the showcased decks to be played, this is going to be one hell of a year.
Summoning 7 boom bots was a legendary, noncollectable spell in the catacombs, now a 7 mana 7/7 - summon 6 boom bots is actually reasonable.
Did I imagine, or did they say they want to take the power level down a notch? I mean, a lot of very important cards are taken away, but instead of having to play an 8 mana 6/6 and then kill a 0/8 minion, now you just have to play a lackey and a 6 mana 5/5. In Rogue that can easily bounce back creatures, of all classes. If you want the Golden money, all you have to do is play Warlock and survive till turn 7.
Until the stream I actually though 7k dust would be easily enough to get all the legendaries I want, like all past
expansions. I'm starting to doubt that. Also seems like it's time I craft Dr. Boom, Mad Genius
I am really baffled about Blastmaster Boom, it is a legendary that depends on a limited number of available cards for it to work and two of them are epics. (I doubt there would be more “shuffle bomb cards”)
I am glad Warriors are getting agressive cards but please don’t make legendary cards depend on other legendary cards or epics
Even that clown Ben Brode was more entertaining to watch
Don't you dare call him a clown, he is laughing God of balance and randomness.
hey blizzard, when the expansion comes out can you give us chakki's phone number?
i need my lackeys, man
Khadgar + Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk.
Khadgar also synergies with secrets like Splitting Image + Mirror Entity and spells like Mirror Image + Unexpected Results. Keep those in mind.
Khadgar + Splitting Image is insane against any deck that relies on minions to deal with threats. They attack Kadgar and get 2 new Khadgars to deal with.
Unexpected Results, though... Unless you get some significant spell power, 2 cost minions are usually easily dealt with.
Unless one of your 2 cost minions is Khadgar, which, again, a serious threat, but unlikely.
I think Unexpected Results could go in a juggler type aggro deck with Knife Juggler + Vex Crow and maybe Celestial Emissary + Archmage Arugal and Mirror Image. I mean, the deck doesn't really care how powerful minions are. It relies on just more minions.
Could be a powerful deck. But I'm repeating that is only on paper for now.
It just seems a lot of work, putting a Legendary it's so easy to have insane impact with just so you could summon two more 0/2 minions... Not to mention with Vex Crow you're going to fill your board too quickly anyway...
The tools are already here, if it will ever be a powerful deck it doesn't need Khadgar to do so.
well, so much powerful cards will rotate. even the existing Vex Crow deck without Khadgar might be viable. Vex Crow will see the non-Odd/Even meta first time. So we know nothing about it.
