Nope, its not an expansion, just a patch. No new cards.

Called it on the brawl, but the game mode isn’t a tournament like I thought. Brawls last a limited time, you just play another player with the limitations (or challenge your friends list with the same limitations). Interested to see what they come up with.

Its gonna be sad when the brawl is like “All murlocs have +1/+1” and the dominant deck is still something like freeze mage

Also, you can now set a card back per deck! Thats cool!

Lots of small quality of life changes.

5402

also seems no balance changes planned for 2.7 via twitter

5403

I find it odd Blizzard announced it, with a Rick Roll:

5404

Pretty bummed no new cards. Guess I’ll continue to hoard gold and dust.

5405

just no new cards here…Probably still gonna be a new expansion before summer is through.

5406

This gold is going to burn a hole in my pocket by then! 5.3k and growing.

5407

I ended up going 7-3 with that mage deck, got another shitty leg from the pack, though :stuck_out_tongue:

5408

Too soon for another expansion. There will probably be another adventure august or september, then an expansion in december.

Wow, you already have every card in the game?

5409

I’m missing maybe 3 legendaries that I want, but don’t need.

5410

Naw, I think they alternate expansion and adventures. I think there will be an expansion this summer, and then an adventure announced at blizzcon and released in nov/december

5411

Really? I thought I read somewhere the plan was 2 adventures and 1 expansion per year? Well if the next release is an expansion, hopefully the rarity balance is more like the classic than GvG. GvG’s rarity balance was awful.

Holy cow, that is amazing! You need like 550 packs just to collect all the classic cards. 350 for the Gvg…so that is 900 packs.

5412

Yeah me too, only legendaries I probably want to have is ysera and cenarius. The rest I already have. Most of the legends I don’t have are those Millhouse Manastorms so I don’t really care about them lol

Since there won’t be an expansion for a while I’ll just probably spend my 1k gold on packs

5413

I don’t have all the cards… But… I’m not going for a full collection. I have no reason to go after millhouse manastorm…

5414

dude, Ysera is soooooooo good.

5415

Possibly, I dont think blizzard has really specifically said they were going to do what in which order, like expansion, adventure, adventure, expansion, adventure, adventure. I just personally feel like expansion, adventure alternating is probably the way to go. 1 year between full expansions is a bit too long I think

5416

Lol yeah. Maybe if I make a dragon deck. He’s next on my craft list though

5417

The amount of stuff Ysera can avoid is hilarious. Need Siphon Soul or Assassinate or Execute pretty much to take her down. Plus you can throw in alchemists, and BAM, enjoy all that fucking surprise damage! And as an added bonus, dream cards are pretty sexy.

Just drafted this pally arena deck:

5418

The problem with ysera? Ungodly slow. Yeah she’s awesome when she works, but it can be tricky to play her.

5419

oh yeah, she isn’t for fast decks, but with a control deck, or in late game, she is devastating. She can’t be killed be power word’s. Direct damage kills need a ton of pain to take her down. She can’t be BGH’d. Silence only annoys her. Her dream cards can be board changing. She usually costs 8 or less due to Thaurrisian

5420

Ysera’s 4 attack makes it weak to a lot of the 5 health minions that are so popular (and the reason why azure drake and cairne fell out of the meta, the 5 health shift), but the cards she generates can be godlike. Definitely needs to go in a control deck
