Hey, I don't know if someone mentioned it before, but Dead Ringer can fetch Sn1p-Sn4p.
SN1P-SN4P is going to make sure token decks have dumb levels of board reload in mid/late game.
Boy, I just can't wait kappa
Hang on, why were they willing to give SN1P-SN4P Echo when they didn't use the keyword for other post-Witchwood cards with that effect? What's the difference between this and cards like Witch's Brew?
Maybe he's considered as a throwback card too. I'm not sure.
SN1P-SN4P rotates out alongside The Witchwood, whereas Witch's Brew will still be around for a year after. It'd be weird if it was the only Echo card in Standard.
That's..... unexpectedly awesome!
OMG!
Mulchmuncher, or whatever the wreck it is, is still not viable...
Maybe they have a hidden Simulator using Monte Carlo Algorithm... But beside of this i see not an influence in the current meta...
It's like: let us take some scrap spells and let them still be scrap afterwards... If this is really the future of HS, I think i am going to quit... Seriously! What the heck is the point in those adjustments! Nerf are addressing peaks but what are those buffs good for? Seriously changing from 10 to 9 mana? Now I will design a deck around that trash?
Did Mulchmuncher hurt you when you were a child?
Its like you exactly got the point of my post...
It's really great to see the Hearthstone team finally experiment with buffs to cards that see very little play.
I am however, quite worried about the new Cottontail Impostor + Reckless Experimenter + Sn1p-Sn4p combo. I think there would be less panic if E.M.P. Operative read "Battlecry: Destroy a random enemy Mech." We shall see...
Is this an out of season April fool's joke?
Came here to ask the same thing. This feels like bizarro world... and I love it!
can you diss them for orig value as well?
BRILLIANT!
Luna’s pocket galaxy at 5 mana is just seriously what the fuck. Was hard to play at 7 mana, but at 5 there will definitely be a place in the meta.
Magic Carpet seems to be strong with buffed Pogo-Hopper
Lol What The Hell Is Going On!
It’s already happened on the main Hearthstone subreddit. With all caps, no less.
so youre telling me i should just ACCEPT that my ODd deathrattle Hunter is RUINED???
the time for peaceful protest is over, we shall take this to the streets, VIVA LA REVOLUCION!
Duskfallen Aviana is still shit lol
