Removed Cards
These cards, including the whole Pirate Exodia package, are being removed.
Returning Cards
These 2 cards will return to Battlegrounds!
Changed Cards
Titus Rivendare replaces Baron Rivendare and his text change means you can have more than 1 Rivendare and the effect will stack!
Changed Heroes
Malificent Manastorm now reads "Whenever you summon a Mech, give it +2 Attack." Galewing now can no longer choose the same Option from his Hero Power over and over. Jaraxxus now reads "Choose a friendly Demon. It consumes a minion in Bob's Tavern to gain its stats.". Pyramad now reads "Give a minion +1 Health. (Gains +1 Health each turn you don't use this!)"
Finally Jaraxxus Rework
I'd be down if they give him a craft a custom undead ability
I LOVE dual type minions, one of the best features ever
Eternal Knight is cool. Sort of weird teamwork with other players also running Eternal Knight.
It says "each friendly Eternal Knight" ;)
Damn I read it like that too and I was kinda excited, it would've been really interesting that way
Btw am i retarded&? they said 16 new undead minions but rdu showed us 17????
I assume it's Peggy throwing it off. She isn't "new", but now is undead as well as a pirate.
Helping Hand is what I thought Pup-Bot would be
what kind of race is jelly belly? i cant see it being undead
In World of Warcraft anything like an Ooze or a monster like this is classified an "Abberation" and not an Undead. But we don't have Abberation in HS or BG (yet), so I guess they just went for Undead instead since it is likely a living organism jelly-fied and somehow still alive or alive again.
Putricide is also BIG on ooze, so that likely played a part.
Its a skeleton in goo, Maldraxxus style
Putting the +2 slots on the locked rewards track still feels like the biggest mistake of the entire system. It turns the Battlepass from additional cosmetics to something people might feel they must have in order to get a good selection.
And of course the more people have only 2 heroes to select, the more often you end up in those lobbies where 3 players concede right at the start because they didn't like either choice and give a rat's ass about MMR.
Biggest mistake is the removal of content in form of buddies, quests and prizes
But is it bad?
sometimes yes becoz the remaining player just quickly climb tavern level
nothing more annoying than people quitting out when you playing rag
Not always, but often. See it like that: The BG is currently balanced (how much is a matter of another discussion) around 8 players competing for the same minion pool. If you start with only 5, you'll instead end up with less players that can easily snowball out of control because there's no competition for the minions they require for their build.
Second, all quests and hero powers that require "kill x minions / attack with your minions / have your minions die / trigger deathrattles /..." become much harder to finish, because every time you're up against a ghost without minions, it's basically skipping a turn, putting you at a disadvantage towards other players.
TL;DR: It's not game breaking, but can make matches more frustrating and imbalanced.
i mean its still free, i pick from the 2 dudes and maintain a 7500ish rank. Its a bummer you cant use gold on the perks but its still a free game.
If you can't afford the cost of the pass i am not sure you should be playing games in the first place. It's a small price to pay for a mode that is superior to all the others.
Ironically nobody talks about how you have to PAY to play all the others modes as the cards aren't free and the majority of players cannot collect full collections FTP.
