Oh that mystic is awesome…

Wow, check this card out. Talk about control druid, heal everyone to full health? Lol

Soulfire now costs 1 (up from 0)
Soulfire, along with fast and powerful minions, allowed Warlock rush decks to get ahead on the board and stay ahead. We’ve upped Soulfire’s mana cost by 1 to slow down the Warlock rush deck just a bit and allow more players time to react and interact against the Warlock.

Gadgetzan Auctioneer now costs 6 (up from 5)
    Gadgetzan Auctioneer’s ability allows for a player to potentially draw many cards for little cost. Card draw and card advantage are important to the game—overall, games are less interesting when a player draws their entire deck. This change brings Gadgetzan Auctioneer’s cost more in line with its power level.


Flare now costs 2 (up from 1)
    Flare allowed the Hunter an advantage versus decks that revolve around Secrets, while also allowing the Hunter to draw a card for little cost. We want to encourage a variety of decks in Hearthstone. With this change, Flare will continue to be useful against decks playing Secrets, but will be weaker against other decks

Extra dust, nice. Poor auctioneer, I dont think Miracle is so much of a problem he needed that nerf, especially when the new meta settles. I guess they dont like the 1 turn buildup and win styles.

I like soulfire costing 1 now.

Flare being 2 is decent too.

I’ll be dusting all of my copies of all those just for the dust lol

Pirates seems alright so I’m okay with that, not too keen on his one toughness and the generally shitty card draw you have as Rogue though.

Also this card.

Priests got everything now, cray.

Saitsu · December 2, 2014, 11:20pm

Well, this is the card dump that happens right before release. It’s coming out somewhere in the next 7 days for sure.

Pimp_Willy · December 2, 2014, 11:22pm

My money is on thursday

Saitsu · December 2, 2014, 11:39pm

Also, did anyone notice we have our first Neutral Weapon?

Pimp_Willy · December 2, 2014, 11:44pm

they just added all the rest (?) of the cards

I dont think there are any neutral weapons

Priest looking strong

Saitsu · December 2, 2014, 11:45pm

I think Cogmaster Wrench is. Either that or it’s Rogue.

Pimp_Willy · December 2, 2014, 11:50pm

Pretty sure thats a rogue weapon

Also, control warrior getting some new options

https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/1374188_823437627699007_7142880700482320441_n.jpg?oh=ad9e1bc7487291a2af9101a2acf7e4cc&oe=55144C3D&gda=1428001615_8379d54383f8c6ee358740f89cd2f70a

more pirate options

https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10845938_823437811032322_4185419599883352814_n.jpg?oh=c7048df9c82bf8e777d4c85ed474739c&oe=55005B90

Control Hunter is real

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/1959597_823437621032341_5691685470916741790_n.jpg?oh=bad56ae07223f4ebabbb8c6b2f4c96e9&oe=55075EE9&gda=1426605964_14a236a396761c5101259e567f55c5b8

but some options for rush hunter as well

https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1948071_823437664365670_3993780304680451097_n.jpg?oh=9540191db337d725687a6f71da0a54e4&oe=5511CED0&gda=1427898699_313efc338bf5bbfbefffa90e77b72381

More control pally options as well, maybe replace lay on hands for healing so you dont overdraw in end game

https://scontent-b-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10428051_823437821032321_2718053557869173625_n.jpg?oh=0aa635a6e930c1010523d16152118911&oe=550A45AF

Saitsu · December 2, 2014, 11:54pm

I"m not surprised about the Gadgetzan nerf. Spare Parts would’ve made him pretty obscene…well, more obscene.

Priest though…man, ALL the support. Board Clears, some aggro plays…man I need to finish Naxx to get my Dark Cultist and Chow.

Pimp_Willy · December 2, 2014, 11:57pm

Imagine using shadowboxer and using cabal on a shamans healing totem, oh god that would be sick

I really want to make a viable shadow priest deck too

Saitsu · December 3, 2014, 12:00am

Now how about Arcane Nullifier? Do we have something that will actually replace Tazdingo?

Pimp_Willy · December 3, 2014, 12:03am

I thought thats what Sludge Belcher was for, I hardly run tazdingo anymore. But nice to see a variety of taunt options are going to be viable.

Im going to stream opening 80 packs with my son, who is 4, when this comes out. Gonna be fun. He loves playing with me. All these card effects are exactly the kind of shit he loves, Im excited. He walks around all day saying stuff like “One shot, one kill” and “Just me and mr Bitey!”

man think of the hobgoblin synergies… echoing ooze, gargoyle, the new 1/4 windfury. And of course if it works with hero power, 3/3 tokens for pally. But Im pretty sure “PLAY” is pretty specific on what it means, which also means no muster for battle combo. Of course, undertaker too lol.
