Quests are insanely gamewarping, buddies have a smaller impact. Quests are fun but having every game result in random 400/400 minions on turn 10 i think it's a bit of a problem
Attrocity is just different minion types rather than purely the number of friendly minions which died. So it only really works in menagerie builds and even then it caps out pretty quickly.
Loc Prince looks versatile depending on how the additional stats are applied. 1) The way it's worded similar to Undead's 'wherever they are' effects. Makes me wonder if it can show up buffed in the shop and be a good target for Shellemental or demon consumption. 2) Seems like a good candidate mid-game for buffing and summoning a murloc from hand 3) Greymane's champion, Unforgiving Treant, Nalaa. Does Echoing Roar trigger the effect each turn?. 4) Heroes like Deathwing and Rokara. Dancin Deryl shenanigans?
Great recap as always and love the way you go through everything and add your commentary! Annoyed that there's a meta change I just recently got back into playing~
Arid Atrocity with persistent poet seems like it would be very powerful. Also I wonder if since it’s for each minion type that died instead of each minion of a different type if it will buff multiple times for minions with multiple types
Cheers for the video! I didn't partake in the previous Buddy meta so really excited for this update, the Hero/card changes are mostly nice though it's sad to see Reef Explorer and Gem Smuggler go. Duos will be spicy with golden Jumping Jack giving you a Triple Card each turn and the inclusion of Buddies e.g. Inge should buff Solemn Serenader with hp first so the buff it gives to other minions is even bigger, and Hogger can sell the 1st Shining Sailor so later they get 2 copies that add two Pirates to the Tavern instead of one. Speaking of which, Faceless One is infinite gold if you pass it since your teammate gets a copy of it (they'll probably patch that out) and you can do shenanigans with Mister Chu+Goya hp passing your teammate's buddy or another Chu, pretty cool :D
Hogger buddy actually might make him playable. A lot of the new ones seem alright but honestly won't know til we play them. Seems like they are heavy focusing on deathrattle mechanics. Filling out a board with a cultist and new tier 6 ALL minion and maybe a titus will make it so it summons multiple of those tier all minions and they get 7/7 per death. twice over with a titus. with 5 different tribes thats at least 2 70/70 minions pupping up after death. Not crazy but if you get a triple of it, that can boost to 140/140, and more if Titus keeps surviving. idk. will be an interesting meta for sure.
I am on the fence. I think I am going to essentially have it done, and wait to see if the patch hits this week. If we know all the changes from the announcement I can release it as is. Buddies do not change any tribe as a whole, just individual ones change games dramatically. That way the videos are all still viable :)
Thank you! It is the first run of Frostmourne the Lich King's sword. From the first run they did some few years ago. One of my best Xmas presents ever!
I was confused as well, if you would pass the faceless, it would give more faceless to your friend, and he would just get infinite gold, infinite and triplets and would just win the game of his apm is good...
My understanding is when you play the battlecry of it you get the buddy of your teammates HP. That should be 1 copy. If you Bran 2. Why would passing it give you extra copies? Am I not understanding something?
@@Heretic721 so from playing this buddy you are getting teammate buddy right? So if you pass it to your friend the friend would play it and get your buddy. And what's your buddy? Fadeless buddy. So he would get more and more of your buddy's every time he play your buddy.
I prefer quests to buddies tbh, felt like you had more agency and a more interesting objective than most of the buddies’ upsides
Quests are insanely gamewarping, buddies have a smaller impact. Quests are fun but having every game result in random 400/400 minions on turn 10 i think it's a bit of a problem
I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the title. I find quests much funner than buddies
@@Derpe69420 fair point, but I guess that’s also personal preference; I love bonkers games but I can understand why you’d dislike that
i like both, buddies do make some heroes a lot more fun. Whereas quests make it more about the quests
Have to disagree. Quest rewards were the most powerful thing in the game. Too hard to balance

its great tempo
I especially like that Yogg doesn't randomly shuffle our stats anymore. Remember that little chestnut?
That was the reason I never got the Yogtastic quest.
Those are the best...time.... the absolute... best.... Much better now!
Good changes, overall. VERY high power it seems. When we fall behind and lose, we won't just lose. We'll be obliterated.
Yeah, I think we'll see boards with stats in the thousands pretty much every game

It should stick for at least two months at least so you will have time to adjust!
I was hoping for some of the teir 6 dragon minions from last season to return.
Having imposing percussionist in the pool makes a lot of these generate random battlecry minion effects very dangerous in demon lobbies.
Ah yes another death by imposing percussionist XD

Clunker Junker: Discover a "Foe Reaper" on your "Deflect-o-bot".
This is going to be insane.
I think this minion is going to be nerfed very fast.
Thanks for video!
10:20 alexstraza's hero power???
This is gonna be fun.....AND frustrating....like playing Golf!!! Lol 😂
Kinda scary to see beasts get buffed again )except for dread stomper being removed) now there’s death rattle and token beast builds
Death rattle build was around for a good while
would’ve preferred anomalies personally but still excited!

Thanks for the consistent and concise updates!
I started playing in the quest era and thats what made me fall in love w the game. Bring quests back!
SAME! I pretty much always take Denathtius even if there is someone more efficient, I just dig the quest system.
Jeff Goldblum keeps reading the cards wrong
Ghoul-acabra is 100% getting nerfed. Imagine this plus a mech-horse with reborn. Or a Goldrin build with it
bruh, some of these heroes i stoped seeing, like azhara, greybough,aranna, are they gonne from the pool or i just have not seen them?
They were removed for various bugs. They do not announce often when they pull things like that. They just kind of poof!
Looks like the most crazy scaling we're gona see in BG history Dx
I've never played with buddies. it's new to me
Is queen ashara bugged? I haven’t been offered her as a hero for ages
Ye I've never gotten her, Aranna Starseeker or Greybough despite playing 100+ games this season
I've gotten her lately
Shes bugged
Azshara, Greybough, and ETC were out of the pool for a LONG time.
Guessing there’s gonna be a delay for the Beast overview video.

Amazing sword in the background
Thank you! It is the first run of Frostmourne the Lich King's sword. From the first run they did some few years ago. One of my best Xmas presents ever!
@@Heretic721 I have the exact same one aswell the the two handed axe
Your presentation is impressive
queen ashura dragons?! crazy lol grteat vid tho
Like, comment and subscribe!
*sigh* I guess I have to buy the 4 heros pass now
I hate the current meta because it's all about early tempo but with this patch it's going to be... even more about early tempo? great..
Love the Acolyte of Yogg buff!
Sounds like good changes to me
If you pass the faceless buddy do you just get endless buddies?

@@impkiller5932 ahhh! I had not thought of it in that manner. Let’s hope devs did!!!
Always hated the buddy meta and after a few rounds I can safely say...I still do. I agree with the guy who said he prefers quests.
I did not enjoy buddies. Hoping they can change my mind this time around.
@@Heretic721 hey, good luck man. It's always worth a shot. I'd say it's better at least. lol
Yoggs buddy seems absolutely busted. I'm gonna insta pick him when I see him.
Just remember when the wheel animation starts to spin if you click the screen it stops the wheel MUCH faster then if you let the whole thing play out.
Man, I hate buddies. They just make strong heroes even stronger. Atleast quests and anomalies add some variation
gem smuggler😭
old queen alextrasza was sooo badddd, i would pick anything other then her
