OMG.
All these changes are really nice.
Is this really happening ? I feel like I'm dreaming.
Some broken decks are about to appear.
My token Druid approves the new echo legendary.
Now this is a good feeling!
Dear God, Blizzard has just opened the flood gates to... buff threads.
I checked the calendar, and today isn't April 1st???
While I'm hyped that we are getting some buffs to some cards that never saw play, I'm even more hyped at the prospect of Blizzard buffing other cards in the future.
Holy s*#t! What is going on!?
A buff to Pogo is quite scary, as are the buffs to a few important Dr. Boom mechs.
What the !@#$ just happened today?
This is actually amazing, 10/10 faith partially restored; this is how you inject new life in a stale meta, just mix it up! Love these changes, and we get a free legend?
When did they say that?
Guess they fired the right people
Is Sn1p-Sn4p part of Boomsday Project and will rotate normally or is it added to the classic set?
It has the Boomsday mark behind its text so I guess it will rotate next year
heyy blizzard, now that Dr. Morrigan costs 6, I cant pull her out with Silver Vanguard Kappa
my combo is ruined and I just crafted Dr. Morrigan for this Kappa
I want a dust refund. You guys said there will be full dust refunds if you change cards, not only nerfs!
Whats really funny is that im sure there a few people out there who actually have this opinion
Wow I never thought I would see buffs in Hearthstone this feels so... weird
Will the buffed cards be disenchantable for their full price?
I'm going to assume this is sarcasm... but I'm still shooting you a side eye.
