We've got big news to share next week, mark that calendar! pic.twitter.com/Fm3Y3aQgs3
Wow, expansion gets revealed almost a month sooner than expected, considering that AoO and SA got revealed around the 15th of March and July, respectively.
They probably just wanted to reveal new game mode, expansion and reward system all in one big stream and the game mode happens to come out sooner, but maybe we get the new expansion before December as well. Or it comes out in 2 waves, with some cards getting released in November and the rest in December, or something like that.
actually this reveal is only happening around a week and a half sooner than usual as last expansion of the year is always being revealed at blizzcon which always happens at the very beginning of November
thus I wouldn't bet on the expansion being released earlier than usual, if anything maybe in the first week of december
Btw. Original carousel theme is much better!
Here we go, the announcement of the announcement!
what else did you expect? for the stream to start out of nowhere without an announcement and a lot of people that would want to see it missing out?
The new mechanic is you can only play the new expansion the first week of every month.
Damn, Autralian players will miss the packs, again.
No. It’s the eye of the Darkmoon Faire.
Imagine 0.5 to 4 hours of your time being worth $3... Sorry, the way people monetize these free packs always gets me... A minimum wage job would get you 8 packs an hour! lol
we getting it for free since i gonna watch it anyways even if i got 0 packs so jokes on you kid
There is a trick, it's called "leave the window opened and actually don't watch as you do something worth your time".
Announcement to announcement to announcement π‘
It's fitting no? Created-by cards getting created by cards that create cards. it's the way of the small indie company!
lets hope for some kind of paid battlepass system for us serious players.
Wisp to 1 mana confirmed
I don't get it π
Look man, it is zero mana 1/1... if that doesn't tell you how OP it is there is no way one could explain it. Novice Engineer is two mana 1/1 that draws you a card, it literally makes you one card closer to fatigue! That is an enormous drawback. Wisp doesn't make you fatigue faster and comes down two turns earlier.
make sense... haha
According to the Year of the Phoenix Roadmap, the only things unannounced from Phase 2 are the new game mode and something that is "spell locked." Given that the reveal stream is supposed to contain "several major announcements" (and they are making it unusually easy to get free packs for watching), it seems safe to assume that we will hear about both of these items from the Roadmap. I wouldn't be surprised if the "spell locked" item connects in some way to the new game mode, and the reason they concealed it in the Roadmap was to prevent the possibility of spoiling the new game mode.
