the amount of amazing Varden art in this expansion is amazing gotta appreciate the non-binary icon even more
Its not political its a life journey. Gaming and diversity is a joke for that conpany. Finally have people of color in WoW and HS. I'm just confused how this character has any relation to non binary. Is it the sweet hair? I don't understand.
Flavour text from Varden Dawngrasp:
"Varden Dawngrasp could wield fire, summon hailstorms, and morph a night elf into a sheep with a snap of their fingers. Knowing how malleable reality could be, certain labels felt downright trivial."
Dawngrasp uses they/them pronouns and is confirmed as non-binary by the devs and the voice actress.
Not unexpected on this site sadly (as to the real reason most of those probably downvoted).
Cis gamers being too insecure to acknowledge some representation smh
One other thing to note: this can wind up recasting Wildfire.
I will assume no given how Frost Lich Jaina works. If you play Wildfire BEFORE you play Frost Lich Jaina, the damage resets to 1.
Are Dream and Ysera Awakens nature? Its the spell school that Mage doesnt have, if so I guess Archdruid Naralex just found a deck!
To answer your first question, I'm almost certain the order will be random. I can't think of a single similar effect in HS (for example, Shudderwock) that goes in order. That fact represents something of a danger: you cast Deep Freeze, only to have Mass Polymorph ruin it for you.
As for the second, I would expect (and certainly hope) that it would only count as a single HK. Massively powerful, otherwise.
This looks like a lot of fun. I'm not sure the battlecry stacks up with the power level of the others, but it does seem to synergize with the "big spell package". And the hero power looks like it could synergize with the hero power package from before... lots of avenues with this. You can curate your spell pool too if you really wanted to.
This set is shaping up to be a wild ride - I'm excited for it.
Dawngrasp looks so good in this art. Non Binary icon
Got 15 downvotes because I said I like the artwork, now that's an epic gamer moment
No it's because you mentioned something political (tm) and shouldn't "bring politics into gaming". Which is nonsense so have an upvote.
Ah yes. Wonder if for those people bathroom signs are also a political statement
lol dude, the point is to play this hero in a big spell mage, is like complaining that Yogg-Saron, Hope's End doesn't work in your agro deck
I'd much prefer this if the battlecry was nerfed and the card was cheaper, so the main feature of the card is the ramping hero power. Doesn't look like anything special right now, depending on incoming spell reveals.
To make the battlecry OP you have to make a big spell deck, and I guess survive with mostly minions till you get there. Unless you play smaller spells too and risk the battlecry to whiff
you might be able to get by with wand thiefs, pandaren importers, scorpids and the like to make early removal spells, as well as the inking set to give a power boost once you arrive into 5+ land.
Or you might play proactive well statted minions simply to stall, as well as the pirate that draws a spell and gives armor according to cost.
This is supposed to be big spell mage support, but again, what are you getting it to cast that is going to help you?
And since it's "you cast this game" any spells cast by Iceblood Tower or Clumsy Courier may not qualify.
