Blackwing Technician looks like an amazing counter to mech classes. Was this all just a ploy by Blizzard to unleash cancer into the meta then force us to buy the cure? :P
Some questions: 1. New content is great, but when is an actual UI rework/overhaul coming? Navigation is still quite clunky, taking far too many clicks. 2. I don't really need to say this, but... deck slots. 3. Really though, deck slots. This can't be harder than making new content.
of course its about the 9 decks total which is such a pain if you want to build a deck collection...i mean there is nothing much more to say about this....DECK SLOTS GUYS MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE=GOOD 9=BAD...so we want good not bad...more deck slots.
***** I saw the video. After seeing the mobile UI today, it means they have even more work to do for a UI overhaul, and it will take them twice as long... which means it probably isn't happening any time soon, even though it should. I don't know why they wouldn't redo the overall UI to coincide with a mobile launch.
I actually dont care about UI overhauls, but man.... its so annoying to delete one of your decks to create a new one, when you already got 9.... So, yes, Deck slots PLEEEEEASE!!!!!
I'm sure others will mention it, but the Blackrock Mountian dungeons/raids, in order of level/difficulty: 1. Blackrock Depths (5 man, early to late 50s) 2. Lower Blackrock Spire (5 man, late 50s, initially 10 man) 3. Upper Blackrock Spire (5 man, late 50s, initially 10 man) - I haven't played Warlords myself, but as far as I know this has been turned into a heroic instance for level 100s 4. Molten Core (40 man, level 60, easiest 40 man raid in vanilla WoW) 5. Blackwing Lair (40 man, level 60, second 40 man raid in vanilla WoW) 6. Blackrock Caverns (5 man, level 80ish) 7. Blackwing Descent (10/25 man, level 85, first tier raid in Cataclysm)
What's really cool is that naxx introduced us to a whole bunch of deathrattles effects and now this new extension kinda look like they will focus on battlecry.
Blizzard could lower the prices of previous expansion everytime new expansion is released. I mean 25dollars is quite alot for few cards. And if you play the game just few hours a month, I dont really need new cards right away.
Dark Iron Skulker is specifically a Rogue class card. This is particularly useful for Rogue as it gives them another potential board clear outside of Fan of Knives and Blade Flurry. It'll be interesting, as it may be difficult to play at times, as if you're behind on the board -- but not behind enough -- odds are your board is being cleared by their superior board, which means their board may no longer be undamaged.
3500 gold? jesus fucking christ blizzard, ive been doing dailies since gvg after spending 3k gold for gvg packs and im barely at 2k gold. im not spending money on a free game but what the fuck
So basically.. For new players, they will have to instantly drop 50 dollars on Naxx + this expansion just so they can compete, not to mention earn gold for regular packs/cards. Shit like this will kill the game. I'd be okay with it if it were just packs, but its way too fucking expensive gold wise to get these expansions as players.
What I like about this expansion is that you're guaranteed to get the cards you want. With GvG it's a gamble and since I don't have all the normal or GvG cards, I'm having a hard time choosing which packs to buy.
Warrior, Grim patron and Whirlwind op, maybe even unstable ghoul? 1. Make sure you have grim patron on field 2. Swing with your last durability of death's bite, summons another grim patron 3. Use Whirlwind to summon 4 of them
@kripparian Thats because gurubashi has a thunder symbol so everytime the bomb goes off he gets stronger. Grim patron doesnt have that thunder symbol below the card.
Grim Patron will only spawn another if its survives the full effect of the Bomber. Armorsmith will give you the Armor everytime it happens but the attackincrease of gurubashi will count but not display until the dmg is dealt. so i think if the bomber hits patron twice you will get to new patrons after the effect
I feel the point of the hold mechanic is to make the slower dragon cards more viable. did you draw ysera on turn 3? well now your other cards get a buff. I think the hold effects are meant to give you the time to be able to play the big slow dragons
Inb4: Warsong Commander, Grim Patron, Inner Rage, Inner Rage, Whirlwind, Second hit with Death's Bite (Though you go over the max number of minions, so you might want to trade off a few of them before the death's bite hit or whirlwind)
If more dragon cards are being released for this expansion then is it possible to make a dragon deck? That is something I have been wanting to do for a while now.
Hungry Dragon + Cabal. It's a turn 10 combo, but if it spawns a 2/1 for your opponent, you're getting 11/12 in stats. That's your own mini Deathwing, albeit spread out between three creatures.
Hey Kripp, just wanted to say that I'm playing a lot of sleeper druid, it's a lot of fun. It can take down even those pesky face hunters, and, with some adjustments, sleeper druid was the perfect deck to beat some heroic Naxx bosses: Kel'Thuzad, Gluth, Grobbulus, Gothik. And maybe Sapphiron (I'm working on it).
The blackwing technician seems like it'd be interesting in high-level play, since if your opponent plays it and it gets buffed you know that they have a dragon in hand.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a Dragon Egg (Rookery Egg, perhaps) that functions in a similar manner to Nerubian Egg (spawns a whelp or some whelps on death) - though if they make it like the Rookery Egg, they could also add in a mechanic where it takes a damage whenever a minion beside it is attacked, or something like that.
I can already see the Trolden videos before me. Someone gets Angry Chicken from the Hungry Dragon and one-shots the opponent with it and it will be GLORIOUS!
I think Grim Patron suits really well with warrior, with all the spinning blade, and death bite action going on, put some bombers, baron geddon, taskmasters, shield maidens, and some rage minions and maybe rage warrior is back? probably not, but that would be fun.
The hold mechanic has kinda been a thing ever since GvG when the Hobgoblin was introduced. Well at least I've been using it anyway. I'll purposely hold my 1/? creeps IF I can get away with it until I can get my Hobgoblin onto the board and then play as many 1/? minions as possible in that one turn. A good example is with a Mech Zoo/Handlock deck. Hobgoblin>Cogmaster>Annoyotron>Void Caller is a combo I tend to use if I have the positioning to pull it off. Next turn if you happen to have a Stormwind Champion to make everything stick a bit more. It is very situational I know, but holding has always been a thing in pretty much every card game.
May be a little off topic. Can you possibly ask Blizzard if they thought about releasing Hearthstone physical cards for Merch purposes. Not for physically playing the game (that would be dumb and impossible) but to have your favourites cards in your hands. Would really really love to have a golden Alexstrasza.
About Hungry dragon, They should add a 1 mana 6/6 that isn't an actual collectible card (like worthless imp) so there is always a chance it could backfire but not so much that it makes the battle cry stop the card from being played competitively. And Grim Patron + Warrior's own whirlwind = OP OP OP OP
Grim Patron with wild pyro and circle of healings? Hungry Dragon will be good with unleash as well as MCtech. Also, in some rare occasions you can try to give them a zombie chow if you need 5 health to stay alive. Those are my thoughts anyway, I'm so excited!
Won't Grim Patron be really good in many warrior drake. The card commanding shout might se some more play now and will it not have great synergy with most warriorclass cards?
If Hungry Dragon is going to be a collectible card (it looks broken as f), I'd really like to see Hemet Nesingwary get the "Destroy a Beast or a Dragon" treatment.
If I not mistaken after this event when we`ll get rend blackhand we can put on him a charge.So we have 10 4 with charge and his battlecry killing legendary.when you have a dragon in your hand...this is awesome!
I think the "if you're holding a dragon" effect suggests that they want dragon decks to be more late game orientated. It's too clunky to have cards which benefit from having dragons on the board if mos dragons cost loads, so instead they reversed the order in which you play your minions. Your early game will consist of dragon synergy cards which benefit from holding dragons, and then you can play your huge late game dragons. With the mid game consisting of stuff like Hungry Dragon, Twilight and Azure.
I think Grim Patron might work nice in warrior due to cards like bouncing blade and whirlwind. And I think some classes like Priest, Paladin, and and Druid might have some possible combos with their buffs.
I think Rend Blackhand should at least be 8/6 for 7 mana. First off the battlecry is already very situational but to top it off you have to have a dragon on your hand for it to work which makes it even more situational. As Kripp said the health is horrible and plenty of things kill it (Eviscerate, Swipe, Truesilver Champion, Death's Bite, Kill Command etc.). If it was 8/6 however I think it will actually see more play and be looked at as a more legit card to put in decks.
I really hope that he ending fight of new expansion will have 2 phases, like Kel'Thusad, first when you fight him as a human and at certain point he transforms into a dragon and gains new hero power.
Happy to see new adventure coming soon. Interested in the other cards that are gonna be released. Hope for spoils and leaks soon. Disappointed that the first quarter isn't free for limited time like Naxx was.
I've always wondered about Dragon cards as currently their is no synergy between them despite having a Dragon type since Alpha. I would excited to see dragon synergy decks as a more control version of mech synergy decks!
So far I've spent $40 for card packs and $20 for the Naxx expo (got first ep for free). I'm sure a lot of people have spent hundreds if not thousands on the game but this seems kind of crazy to me. They are releasing a once a year expansion for a free game and charging that much for the expansion? If I buy the new Blackrock expansion that means I'll have $85 invested...that is insane! WoW and Starcraft expansions take 3-4 years and don't even cost double that.
if dragon is in hand get a benefit. that's what i understand from this. mechs synergy only works with mechs actually in play. you need a lot of mechs in order for the synergy too work effectively because if you don't have a mech in play you are probably going to lose the game, whereas with a dragon deck it doesn't matter what the cost of the dragon is as long as you have one your dragon synergy cards will work. i don't think we will see dragon only decks any time soon. it will probably be incorporated into an already existing deck too make it better. i think dragons fit into most control decks especially the 3/5 and the 5/6 new dragon cards
Grim Patron would be good in an aggro or combo warrior deck with whirlwinds, deaths bite, taskmaster, and warsong commander. You could even use rampage with it to summon even more of them and give them all charge with warsong.
Does this mean that the curse of naxxramas will no longer be playable and therefore there will be no way to obtain the naxxramas cards after this update?
Blackhand is gonna be great if there is enough dragon cards with low cost, can work great against the constant dr boom or rag, or to get rid of grommash
Turn 3 Blackwing Technician Turn 4 Hungry Dragon You win this one. Also, Hungry Dragon, if it becomes popular, will shut down Sludge Belchers. Sludge will probably still see play since it's one of the best anti-aggro cards in the game but in higher ranks where aggro dies down players might start taking them out of their decks.

1. Play Grim Patron on an empty board.
2. Play Bouncing Blade.
3. ????
4. Profit.
That was my first thought: Grim Patron could be Warriors Muster for Battle/Quartermaster :D
I thought the exact same thing
It's not "whenever this minion TAKES damage" it's actually "survives" so I assume he needs to last until the end of the turn or sth like that.
Warsong commander. Run it into something, get another, run that into something.
Jimmy Reed OMG youre right :O
Dust Devil is a 1 mana 3/1. But we don't talk about that.
Dubs_Checkem66 you wont get overload when spawned through the drake
Wonder if you'd get one of Dr. Booms bombs, or the squirrel, stuff like that.
Are there any 2 mana 'tokens' though? I mean I'm sure you're right, but hmm it's interesting. Edit : @ Fox2503
Spook 84 yes, the 2/2 summoned by silverhand knight I think
Is anyone certain this isn't going to be restricted to specific 1-cost minions? Like how Bane of Doom only summons specific demons.
Ask them why they haven't nerfed Dr. Balanced yet.
I wanna my 1600 dust
I crafted one and shortly after opened one in a pack and instantly regretted my actions. God I hope it gets nerfed.
The Gaming Mind Cause GvG profits haven't died down for blizz yet, you silly. Haven't you learned anything from the undertaker nerf?
because it doesnt need to be nerfed?
*****
Hahahahahahaha. This guy, this guy knows what's up.
0:00 to watcherino the Kripperino, cappuccino, amigo.
Welp, I learned my lesson from Naxx. Time to start NOW saving up gold so I can just get all the wings when the come out.
Aye
Dammit 3500 gold is a lot
if it works like naxx no point saving gold since expansions only come once a week, and you can get alot more than 700 gold in 1 week
hikoppoipm?lkot;errairroraldnwstia
d?juuulò0pzzKZzmm
Hopefully they'll make the first wing free like they did last time. If not then I'm collecting gold ASAP.
Blackwing Technician looks like an amazing counter to mech classes. Was this all just a ploy by Blizzard to unleash cancer into the meta then force us to buy the cure? :P
Thats a very good way to describe it
Control decks need more options I agree. But you really gotta ask yourself how stupid you sound when you make up stupid ass conspiracy theory's.
Nick Penner Apparently business has marketing strategy = conspiracy theory now. Guess I must have missed the memo.
except its a rouge only card. so unless the cure is a rouge.....
ijones36 Pretty sure you're thinking of the wrong card...
Apparently we're getting Ragnarosy, Dark Irony stuff.
lol first thing i thought when i heard about the expansion: but, but rag is already a card?
lol
FinnQwert
well, you can already use thaddius as a card playing vs thaddius, so ive got that going for me, which is nice
Apparently we're getting Blackrock Mountain-y stuff.
Alpha Peng but rag is a final boss, so probably the final boss of the wing, so you should probably get him in the adventure.
hungry dragon + cabal shadow priest combo though! unless its imp or devil but still
that shadow madness tho
I can already hear kripp saying "Wow he got the best possible 1 drop.." PJSalt BabyRage
BabyRage NEVER LUCKY BabyRage
Morgaith he needed exactly that card !
Psh, Hungry Dragon Hungry Crab Wombo Combo all up in here
More dragons = Aweseome
Some questions:
1. New content is great, but when is an actual UI rework/overhaul coming? Navigation is still quite clunky, taking far too many clicks.
2. I don't really need to say this, but... deck slots.
3. Really though, deck slots. This can't be harder than making new content.
Why would you play a deck with more cards in it? It ruins the consistency of the deck. Maybe you were talking about 9 max decks total though.
of course its about the 9 decks total which is such a pain if you want to build a deck collection...i mean there is nothing much more to say about this....DECK SLOTS GUYS MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE=GOOD 9=BAD...so we want good not bad...more deck slots.
***** I saw the video. After seeing the mobile UI today, it means they have even more work to do for a UI overhaul, and it will take them twice as long... which means it probably isn't happening any time soon, even though it should. I don't know why they wouldn't redo the overall UI to coincide with a mobile launch.
Dmitry Bogorodsky Deck slots, not card slots.
I actually dont care about UI overhauls, but man.... its so annoying to delete one of your decks to create a new one, when you already got 9....
So, yes, Deck slots PLEEEEEASE!!!!!
Flame imp is 3 attack 1 drop btw
and dust devil
^Dumbass
rosentoast and cogmaster if the opponent has a mech on board, which is pretty much possible...
Sani Mathew 1 drop mean 1 mana not 1 health
I'm sure others will mention it, but the Blackrock Mountian dungeons/raids, in order of level/difficulty:
1. Blackrock Depths (5 man, early to late 50s)
2. Lower Blackrock Spire (5 man, late 50s, initially 10 man)
3. Upper Blackrock Spire (5 man, late 50s, initially 10 man) - I haven't played Warlords myself, but as far as I know this has been turned into a heroic instance for level 100s
4. Molten Core (40 man, level 60, easiest 40 man raid in vanilla WoW)
5. Blackwing Lair (40 man, level 60, second 40 man raid in vanilla WoW)
6. Blackrock Caverns (5 man, level 80ish)
7. Blackwing Descent (10/25 man, level 85, first tier raid in Cataclysm)
You know Kripp is excited when he turns into a bobble-head.
Oh, Kripp... You never knew what patron was to become
Things hearthstone actually need :
-More game modes
Everything else is secondary
When do I skipperino kripperino?
You don't! Kripp is love Kripp is life!
You can't just simply Skipperino Kripperino.
Skipperino Kripperino 13:50 Kappa
13:50 to skipperino kripperino
Bouncing Bladed Grim Patron Kreygasm
thought the same thing ...
Cost 8 mana
RedWorkerKZ 8 mana to fill your board with 3/3s, 3/2s and 3/1s.
Worth.
The one you were forgetting is Blackrock Depths. Home of the Grim Guzzler, the Arena, and where you fight High Emperor Dagran Thaurrissian.
Cant wait for the new Twitch comment. BLACKROCK OUT?
We're still waiting for naxx bro
Danlord GT NAXX OUT?
TheTylerdragon79
Nope
Blackrock Out? TriHard
TriHard rock mountain out!? PogChamp
Kripparrian It was Blackrock Depths - that is what you forgot. This was where Emperor Thaurissan was located, called "Dark Iron Emperor" here.
B L A C K C O C K M O U N T A I N B O Y S
You forgot to mention that, Dark Skulker is a Rogue only Card
I hope there will be a lot of BM in BM
What's really cool is that naxx introduced us to a whole bunch of deathrattles effects and now this new extension kinda look like they will focus on battlecry.
"Patron sucks" Kripp 2015
Oh god.
The warsong commander synergy with Grim patron
Blizzard could lower the prices of previous expansion everytime new expansion is released. I mean 25dollars is quite alot for few cards. And if you play the game just few hours a month, I dont really need new cards right away.
If you do tyour dailies (2-3 times a week) you can get around 300 gold/week. Or you pay real money if you're too lazy Keepo
time to download some bots i guess *guilty*
Dark Iron Skulker is specifically a Rogue class card. This is particularly useful for Rogue as it gives them another potential board clear outside of Fan of Knives and Blade Flurry. It'll be interesting, as it may be difficult to play at times, as if you're behind on the board -- but not behind enough -- odds are your board is being cleared by their superior board, which means their board may no longer be undamaged.
3500 gold? jesus fucking christ blizzard, ive been doing dailies since gvg after spending 3k gold for gvg packs and im barely at 2k gold. im not spending money on a free game but what the fuck
Yo if you're not spending money on a "free" game you're not supporting the devs, why would they do anything for you? lawl, some people smh
It's the same price Naxxramas is.
Might aswell remove this option but they use it as a cheap psycho trick so you buy it with real money ofcourse
MrGengarTv I bought Naxx with just gold easily. Although I will buy this one because I'm a cardback whore.
scrub
*Kripp plays the dragon*
"Wow, he got the only 1 drop that could beat me. OH MY GOD"
So basically.. For new players, they will have to instantly drop 50 dollars on Naxx + this expansion just so they can compete, not to mention earn gold for regular packs/cards. Shit like this will kill the game. I'd be okay with it if it were just packs, but its way too fucking expensive gold wise to get these expansions as players.
Any card game is the same, you have to pay to get cards, stop cry pls
I have never seen kripp so excited for something before!
First to say Awesome Video, Blackrokerino Mountainarino :D
What I like about this expansion is that you're guaranteed to get the cards you want. With GvG it's a gamble and since I don't have all the normal or GvG cards, I'm having a hard time choosing which packs to buy.
Warrior, Grim patron and Whirlwind op, maybe even unstable ghoul?
1. Make sure you have grim patron on field
2. Swing with your last durability of death's bite, summons another grim patron
3. Use Whirlwind to summon 4 of them
@kripparian Thats because gurubashi has a thunder symbol so everytime the bomb goes off he gets stronger. Grim patron doesnt have that thunder symbol below the card.
Wild Pyro + Grim Patron seems fun if you can pull off 2 spells. It's also sick in mage, where you can ping your own ones, or in shadow priest.
Question: Will Naxxramas bosses still be available to battle after the new expac is released?
'Are there any 1 drops with 3 attack?' Flame Imp and Dust Devil, c'mon Kripp
Grim Patron will only spawn another if its survives the full effect of the Bomber.
Armorsmith will give you the Armor everytime it happens but the attackincrease of gurubashi will count but not display until the dmg is dealt. so i think if the bomber hits patron twice you will get to new patrons after the effect
I feel the point of the hold mechanic is to make the slower dragon cards more viable. did you draw ysera on turn 3? well now your other cards get a buff. I think the hold effects are meant to give you the time to be able to play the big slow dragons
And I was just levelling in Searing Gorge! Brings back old memories!
Inb4: Warsong Commander, Grim Patron, Inner Rage, Inner Rage, Whirlwind, Second hit with Death's Bite (Though you go over the max number of minions, so you might want to trade off a few of them before the death's bite hit or whirlwind)
The newer generations of heartstone will never know how difficult it was to beat this shit!
If more dragon cards are being released for this expansion then is it possible to make a dragon deck? That is something I have been wanting to do for a while now.
Hungry Dragon + Cabal. It's a turn 10 combo, but if it spawns a 2/1 for your opponent, you're getting 11/12 in stats. That's your own mini Deathwing, albeit spread out between three creatures.
Hey Kripp, just wanted to say that I'm playing a lot of sleeper druid, it's a lot of fun. It can take down even those pesky face hunters, and, with some adjustments, sleeper druid was the perfect deck to beat some heroic Naxx bosses: Kel'Thuzad, Gluth, Grobbulus, Gothik. And maybe Sapphiron (I'm working on it).
This is the most excited I've seen you in a video in a long time. Awesome
The blackwing technician seems like it'd be interesting in high-level play, since if your opponent plays it and it gets buffed you know that they have a dragon in hand.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a Dragon Egg (Rookery Egg, perhaps) that functions in a similar manner to Nerubian Egg (spawns a whelp or some whelps on death) - though if they make it like the Rookery Egg, they could also add in a mechanic where it takes a damage whenever a minion beside it is attacked, or something like that.
hey guys, quick question. can i buy all the naxx wings with gold?
I can already see the Trolden videos before me. Someone gets Angry Chicken from the Hungry Dragon and one-shots the opponent with it and it will be GLORIOUS!
Afte ri saw that a HS expamsion is coming i immediatly skipped to u2b and waited for a video from Kripp!
10:11 LOL that face frightened me so much xD I was knocked back when I saw it
I think Grim Patron suits really well with warrior, with all the spinning blade, and death bite action going on, put some bombers, baron geddon, taskmasters, shield maidens, and some rage minions and maybe rage warrior is back? probably not, but that would be fun.
Will it replace Naxx? Will you be able to buy Naxxramas after the expansion comes out?
I'm so happy to see kripp being so happy again about the game :D
The hold mechanic has kinda been a thing ever since GvG when the Hobgoblin was introduced. Well at least I've been using it anyway. I'll purposely hold my 1/? creeps IF I can get away with it until I can get my Hobgoblin onto the board and then play as many 1/? minions as possible in that one turn.
A good example is with a Mech Zoo/Handlock deck. Hobgoblin>Cogmaster>Annoyotron>Void Caller is a combo I tend to use if I have the positioning to pull it off. Next turn if you happen to have a Stormwind Champion to make everything stick a bit more. It is very situational I know, but holding has always been a thing in pretty much every card game.
Will Rend Blackhand destroy a activated Jaraxxus?
Rend Blackhand looks so awesome! Finally some Dragon synergy!
Warrior:
1: Warsong Commander
2: Commanding Shout
3: Patron
4: ???
5: Profit
But do the cards introduced here make aggressive warrior decks more viable?..
May be a little off topic. Can you possibly ask Blizzard if they thought about releasing Hearthstone physical cards for Merch purposes. Not for physically playing the game (that would be dumb and impossible) but to have your favourites cards in your hands. Would really really love to have a golden Alexstrasza.
"It's like better than bomb lobber... most of the time ... kind of"
About Hungry dragon,
They should add a 1 mana 6/6 that isn't an actual collectible card (like worthless imp) so there is always a chance it could backfire but not so much that it makes the battle cry stop the card from being played competitively.
And Grim Patron + Warrior's own whirlwind = OP OP OP OP
Grim Patron with wild pyro and circle of healings? Hungry Dragon will be good with unleash as well as MCtech. Also, in some rare occasions you can try to give them a zombie chow if you need 5 health to stay alive. Those are my thoughts anyway, I'm so excited!
Won't Grim Patron be really good in many warrior drake. The card commanding shout might se some more play now and will it not have great synergy with most warriorclass cards?
If Hungry Dragon is going to be a collectible card (it looks broken as f), I'd really like to see Hemet Nesingwary get the "Destroy a Beast or a Dragon" treatment.
If I not mistaken after this event when we`ll get rend blackhand we can put on him a charge.So we have 10 4 with charge and his battlecry killing legendary.when you have a dragon in your hand...this is awesome!
I think the "if you're holding a dragon" effect suggests that they want dragon decks to be more late game orientated. It's too clunky to have cards which benefit from having dragons on the board if mos dragons cost loads, so instead they reversed the order in which you play your minions. Your early game will consist of dragon synergy cards which benefit from holding dragons, and then you can play your huge late game dragons. With the mid game consisting of stuff like Hungry Dragon, Twilight and Azure.
I think Grim Patron might work nice in warrior due to cards like bouncing blade and whirlwind. And I think some classes like Priest, Paladin, and and Druid might have some possible combos with their buffs.
so, to get the exclusive card back you will need to pre order the expansion, but can you still get the card back by only like pre order 1 wing?
Who do you think the final boss will be? I'm sure that Blackwing Lair will be a part of the last wing. So.. Possibly Nefarian?
I think Rend Blackhand should at least be 8/6 for 7 mana. First off the battlecry is already very situational but to top it off you have to have a dragon on your hand for it to work which makes it even more situational. As Kripp said the health is horrible and plenty of things kill it (Eviscerate, Swipe, Truesilver Champion, Death's Bite, Kill Command etc.). If it was 8/6 however I think it will actually see more play and be looked at as a more legit card to put in decks.
Warsong Commander + Grim Patron, Inner Rage on Patron, then whirlwind on those 2. You got 4 mobs with charge on your board :)
I really hope that he ending fight of new expansion will have 2 phases, like Kel'Thusad, first when you fight him as a human and at certain point he transforms into a dragon and gains new hero power.
Happy to see new adventure coming soon. Interested in the other cards that are gonna be released. Hope for spoils and leaks soon. Disappointed that the first quarter isn't free for limited time like Naxx was.

Is Dark Skulker a Rogue only card? It's got the dark grey background
if dragon is in hand get a benefit. that's what i understand from this. mechs synergy only works with mechs actually in play. you need a lot of mechs in order for the synergy too work effectively because if you don't have a mech in play you are probably going to lose the game, whereas with a dragon deck it doesn't matter what the cost of the dragon is as long as you have one your dragon synergy cards will work. i don't think we will see dragon only decks any time soon. it will probably be incorporated into an already existing deck too make it better. i think dragons fit into most control decks especially the 3/5 and the 5/6 new dragon cards
If i buy naxramas right now, will i be able to get the cards befora Blackrock mountain comes out?
Grim Patron would be good in an aggro or combo warrior deck with whirlwinds, deaths bite, taskmaster, and warsong commander. You could even use rampage with it to summon even more of them and give them all charge with warsong.
That is if they ever fix warsong commander. Don't think the summoned grim pantrons would get the charge effect how it is right now.
Grim patron also works with wild pyromancers. Could fill up the board with them
I think holding dragons will greatly increase the value of 9 - 10 drop dragons. Deathwing has value in your hand now.
Grim Patron + wild pyromancer, use a spell get a 3/2 and a new 3/3, a second spell : a 3/1 a 3/2 a 3/3 and a 3/3
Kripp was talking about dark iron skulker like it's a neutral but it's a rogue card.
Forgot to say that hungry dragon could potentially give you 5 hp if it summons a chow
Is their any possibility of a new hero to be released? If so, how soon?
So, is the first wing going to be free, like Naxx?
Black Rock! Excited to watch it in 2023🎉
Does this mean that the curse of naxxramas will no longer be playable and therefore there will be no way to obtain the naxxramas cards after this update?
can I pre-purchase with gold?
wait so if we preorder blackrock and there is a free wing like in nax do we still pay for 5 wings
Blackhand is gonna be great if there is enough dragon cards with low cost, can work great against the constant dr boom or rag, or to get rid of grommash
Grim Patron: 'The card kinda sucks'. Yeah. Apart from making one of the three strongest decks in all of Harthstone.
Turn 3 Blackwing Technician
Turn 4 Hungry Dragon
You win this one.
Also, Hungry Dragon, if it becomes popular, will shut down Sludge Belchers. Sludge will probably still see play since it's one of the best anti-aggro cards in the game but in higher ranks where aggro dies down players might start taking them out of their decks.
Any plans on making priest viable? What about control in general, how to slow the meta?
Counter to dark iron skulker: Any deathrattle minions specifically the eggs.
Flame Imp is 1 cost 3 attack right?
