You can tell when Grinolf gets pissed off because his English goes into the toilet and becomes borderline incomprehensible. Chill out, breh, and go back to the animu or Witcher threads.

Good arena card. Frost elemental tier ? Maybe better even.

What. The. Fuck.

As a paladin player this pisses me off. Sure this is totally random but still, our cards are ours. We don't want anyone else playing Tirion, or sword of justice or whatever.

What's your thought on Nefarian again? Or hell, Unstable Portal?

I like this card and hope they make more like this because at least in friendly matches or arena (since I guess it won't be used in constructed) they have the potential to provide interesting situations and interactions.

Neither of those target specific classes. This shit card targets only Paladins; first we got a shit card that gave everyone our little silver hands, and now this betrayal.

ITT weirdos who identify with classes in a children's card game. Confuse seems too situational to include in decks. Most of the time it would probably hurt you as much as help you.

So since half the cards (60) are revealed I went through to see how many I'd want and the list hasn't really grown from when there was only about a fourth released.

Want and will eventually craft (unless they're proven garbage): Justicar Trueheart (I believe!), Thunder Bluff Valiant, Tuskarr Jouster, Bash, Burgle, Effigy, Argent Horse Rider, The pair of legendary Valkyre Twins, Tuskarr Totemic, Darnassus Aspirant, Fallen Hero, and Totem Golem.

Might want/depends on the meta: Frost Giant, Anub'arak, Aviana, Eadric, Shado Pan Cavalry, Lock and Load, and Druid of the Saber.

20 out of 60, huzzah! Good news is I'll probably be caught up on my missing classic legendaries by the time the next expansion rolls around.

One thing about Gormok -- do totems count as minions? I'm guessing no.

Should count. Paladin silverhand fags should count as well. They do for all other cards that interact with minions on board.

In that case I think it'll be solid for Shaman. Of course, with cards like TB Valiant people will probably be more aggressive with killing totems.

Wow, Trump came in here and copied all of my opinions on these cards. The bastard! Biggest difference was he spent 5 minutes thinking Aviana over before eventually conceding it was likely trash.

Gormok is bad. You have to start the turn with 4 minions on board. Unless you're facing freeze mage, if you start with 4 minions on board you're likely already going to win the game. It is by default a win-more card. Dark Iron Dwarf is more consistent; and you can just run Arcane Golem if you need 4 damage of reach without the highly conditional "start the turn with 4 minions". The alternative is, uh, wait until Turn 8 to play Implosion then Gormok or something? Then you're stuck with this vanilla 4/4 in your hand until then.

But please, everyone rush out and craft Gormok because "OMG OP" and then quietly wish you didn't 2 weeks later. That's what I did with Troggzor, who is still a much better card than Gormok :(

I got Troggzor in the Unstable Portal Brawl. Dude conceded immediately. Hilarious how hard that card shut down that little gimmick.

What about Coldarra? If you are going to bother with Fallen Hero and Justicar, might as well add in Coldarra as well.

Trump also said Dr. Boom was not going to see much play, and thought Piloted Shredder was inferior.

It's almost as if since then he's played the game full-time for 8 months straight making ~$200,000 a year streaming and has even hit rank 1 legend. Like there's this crazy concept that people can git smarter in 8 months.

Anyways, you tell me when Avianna Combo becomes a tier 1 deck bruh. TELL ME HOW THAT GOES BRUH

The more crappy cards, the less I have to worry about getting them.

The problem is that I want to be a completionist and one day gather them all. At this rate I don't see it happening though.

So Trump is actually good now? He can competently play decks that aren't Handlock or Control Warrior?

Good for a children's card game, yeah - ever since he transitioned from mostly playing arena/getting legend into aiming for high legend every season for blizzcon points. He pretty much pioneered Midrange Paladin post-GVG pre-BRM, bringing it to actual rank 1 legend. He's also done pretty well in tournaments. He doesn't seem to be quite as good as, say, Kolento, but Trump is definitely on or above the Lifecoach tier.
