Hearthstone devs responded to a number of questions...
Q: How will Electra Stormsurge work with the Hero Power from completing the Corrupt the Waters quest?
A: The reward works the same way as Brann Bronzebeard or Murmuring Elemental, so there is no change to the mechanic. Battlecries will still only happen twice.
Q: Can we have 2 active Quests at the same time?
A: No, only one Quest can be active at any time. The second one cannot be played until you finish the first one.
Q: Will both Quests appear in the mulligan?
A: Yes.
Q: Does Questing Explorer work with the original Un'goro Quests as well?
A: Yes.
Q: Do Reborn cards count twice, when it comes to resurrection mechanics, etc? Once for the original card (with Reborn keyword still active) and once for the reborned card (with 1 health remaining)?
A: Yes. Deathrattles would trigger twice as there are two copies in the pool of dead minions. Note that if resurrected, the 1-Health version will come back with full life and Reborn keyword - the two copies are functionally identical. Works basically like the paladin secret (Redemption).
Q: Does Reborn set the minion’s life to 1 Health or deal damage until it has 1 Health remaining?
Q: How does it track if Reborn has triggered?
Q: If I copy a Reborned minion, do I get a Reborn keyword back on the copied minion?
Q: What happens if I Silence a Reborn minion with 1 Health?
A: The minion returns with 1 Health remaining, but it can still be healed to its normal maximum Health.
A: You can tell that Reborn has been triggered via the visual effect on it (similar to how you can tell that a minion's Divine Shield has been used up).
A: If a minion started with Divine Shield, then that Divine Shield got used up, copying it wouldn't give the Divine Shield back. Same with Reborn.
A: Silence does remove the Reborn state (again, same as Divine Shield).
Q: Sir Finley Mrrgglton is shown riding his loyal steed. What is the name of this magnificent beetle?
A: Jeweled Scarab is the type of mount he´s riding, what do you think he should name this one?
Q: Ossirian Tear's text states: “Your Choose One effects have both effects combined.” But how does that effect Wardruid Loti?
A: We often go with text that is easy to process on your first read and this is a good example of that. We talked about writing "all effects combined" to make it more clear in the case of one legendary at the cost of being less clear in every other case and decided not to do that. (Editor - by that answer we can deduce that all 5 effects will be combined at the same time.)
Q: Sir Finley Mrrgglton is a Mage?
A: Reno's class is based around what amazing loot he has most recently found. That means for this expansion he is a mage because of his gun of magic wands. Sir Finley Mrrgglton is a paladin btw.
Q: Will the Saviors of Uldum characters have the same stats as they did in League of Explorers?
A: Matching stats like that is a nice to have so that people see the link. It is one of those design things that feels good. However those numbers are really good for balancing cards and determining what else you can combo them with. There are a ton of factors that go into deciding the numbers on a card. The aesthetic of matching numbers vs balance vs tempo vs combo potential.

Blizzard responds and issues hot fix for Patch 14.6 issues on mobile devices...
Quote from Chris SierraWell Met Friends,
With the recent 14.6 update, we identified some pesky bugs that needed squashing. We are currently rolling out a fix that will resolve the following issues:
- Fixed an issue where hitting the home button while in a match on a mobile device would not bring you back to your match.
- Fixed the “Global Asset Cellular Download” pop-up from showing.
As for the login issues on Mobile, we are still investigating this. There is a workaround that should work for you in the meantime: uninstall and re-install the app. This should let you patch up properly and not get stuck at the Tavern doors. Sincere apologies for the miscommunication on my previous post!
It’s now live on Google Play and should be rolling out on iOS soon.
Please let us know how the experience is on this new patch! We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for any other issues that could crop up.
Have a great week!
Cheers,
Chris_Attalus

The only thing that makes Reno close to Mage is that the first serious Reno deck, was Reno Mage played by SuperJJ at some tournament.
Good old HS days when cards didn't have the yellow aura when you could play them, you just had to know...

I agree with you both. Brann has every aspect to be a hunter , and Elise is a night elf only druid capable character in Warcraft vanilla .Now Reno ,yeah he doesn't have that Mage aspect for me either ,but humans could be both Paladins/Mages so there is no reason why he couldn't have ended up in either corner.Honestly Finley looked more of a bookworm to me so I predicted him as the Mage... but no harm done
The Sir didn't tip you off to him being a holy knight? Makes zero sense? Just to you.
I would have made Elise the Mage, because of all those interesting stars she's seeking + summoning (?), then Sir Finley the Druid, since he's half animal-like, and lastly Reno the Paladin, since he's a loyal and honorable man, and HE'S GONNA BE RICH!
Original Reno's battlecry was if your deck have one of each card, fully heal your hero.
I would expect new Reno's battlecry will be if your deck have two of each card, fully destroy enemy hero.
That's fit.
it's impossible. you don't have 2 of each after you draw.
Actually u can. If u draw just the two copies of the cards u draw. Like, drew 11cards, 5 different cards , but two of of each, and reno.
Or just empty your deck
These classes for the LoE don't make any sense at all, maybe making new heros would of made more sense flavor wise. Sir Finley being paladin and Reno being Mage make like zero sense. Starseeker being a druid is weak and bronzebeard being hunter is pretty much the only one that holds up.
There must be a lot of people who disagree with you, because speculators have been accurately predicting these characters and their classes since the Rise of Shadows pre-launch.
It's not hard (or easy really) to predict that, seeing as these and pretty much the only team of heroes apart from WitchWood heroes in hearthstone, and the LoE are way more popular than those schmucks.
Even if Starseeker being a druid makes little sense it makes way more sense that she'd be the druid than say Reno, Bran being the hunter likewise makes more sense than Finley or reno. So basically it's a 50/50 chance of either Reno or Finley being either mage or paladin.
I said it makes no sense flavourwise not that it makes no sense gameplay wise. In this case flavor is being tossed aside for gameplay reasons.
Because Mages have to wear robes? Or can't love treasure?
I don't really see anything in Reno's history that would preclude him from being a Mage.
Being a mage isn't something you can just pick up no, it's a lifetime commitment. Typically mages use spells or at least some form of magic. Using that logic he could be any class, hell Reno could be a warlock we haven't seen him using fel magic sure or summoning any demons but that doesn't mean he can't right?
I really don't see anything in Reno's history that would preclude him from being a faceless manipulator who took Renos form and is also is a warlock/shamon who is dating Hagata on the side.
Those would all be valid points, but the developers have already told us he's a Mage, so he's a Mage. GET OVER IT.
I don't think you get it, I'm talking about how the developers choosing to make him a mage for gameplay reasons rather than any good reasons flavor wise is the issue, not that I'm denying he will be mage in this expansion. Please read what I am saying rather reading the first line, assuming what I'm talking about and making nonsense replies next time please :)
im hapier with ballanced game, hs lore was always funny and not serious like wow.
I read what you wrote, and I'm saying you have no idea what kind of training Reno underwent before his archaeology adventures. (As you implied yourself!)
Given that he is a Mage, we now know he must have studied magic. There's no indication that he trained in any other class, so none of them would make any sense by your logic.
recycled bullshit all the way
ty blizz for no creativity and for ruining the game
feel free to leave, then.
I predict that there will be some cross tribe synergy for Paladin. We've had Paladins recently push Mechs, Dragons, a beast (Shirvallah) and we've seen Murloc in the past. I expect some Curator/Zoobot-esque cards. Hype for Finley, I'd guess a Discover mechanic with him .
