Does anyone know the exact time of the release (buff/nerf) ?
GMT would be perfect :)
Thanks in advance!
Probably 5 GMT. So by the time you read this.
So, with the Arena draft rotation will we get a free run ticket if we have not finished the current one?
Ready to "plug" this into a OTK zoolock ;D
Would love Myra dropping to 4 mana to along with cheaper haze
You couldn't find 2 more worthy Warrior cards?
Both of these are on the verge of busted already and now this, as if control warrior needed more help wtf are you doing.
Only Rocket Boots is included in less Warrior decks than these two cards, all Boomsday cards for Warrior are really good.
As for the unexpected results buff, coupled with the 2-mana +2 spell dmg minion it can give you 2 random 4-costs for 5 mana which is a decent amount of value.
But if you combine it with a one-mana Malygos...which you duplicated...and also have a Khadgar...well...then you are talking about 4 12-mana minions :)
So after two weeks of Grandmasters we can safely say - Mulchmuncher buff is Sea Giant + Conjurer's Calling nerf.
Why didnt them just buff Myra Rotspring, is far one of the less playable cards in the set.
She was buffed, but since its a deathrattle you can't see it yet.
rogue now is #8 class in ladder and gets buffs of cards which won't see play anyway. And if by any chance pogorogue will be good it will be nerfed to oblivion anyway.
Rogue still needs to recuperate from the nerf. All other classes already have their archtypes fully developped. Rogue needs to find new identity after the biggest archtype got annihilated. Rogue decks will get more refined and people will get better at it. But still, I don't expect rogue to be top 4. And it's true, I don't see Violet haze being played ever and POGO is a card that forces the whole deck to play around it which is probably very toxic, much like Jades.
Rouge have no identity??
And what is priest?
the date?
Early june...lets say june 10.
3. June.
i LOVE the buffs! Finally, after all these years.
So they buffed both Thunderhead and The Storm Bringer for shaman (both cards actually good and saw play) and they didn't buff Beakered Lightning?????? The worst card of the set with the lowest play/winrate..... More than half of these cards getting buffed are already decent cards. It's a shame they didn't give past cards like Moorabi buffs that actually needed them. (card could've easily been 2 mana cheaper and still would've seen no play)
Well I am very excited about the Luna's Pocket Galaxy Buff...I have been trying to make a vial deck with this card and play one a lot with ok results...especially against warrior...mainly to pull off an amazing "when the star's align" combo and steal a win and feel good for at least 15 minutes :).
But when you can play it at 4/5...man that opens up also some more decent chances on exodia OTK-decks and all kind of other interesting combo's. Not to mention combined with a sorcerer's apprentice on 2 you can play it on turn 3 with coin. Now that's insane value. Nice that pogo buff but if my 0 mana mountain giants come pouring in with luna from turn 4, well its basically a lot of stats that will hit the board real soon. Maybe Blizzard should make the board size a bit larger as well :) I need 10 spots at least!
