Okay folks, what are the three legendaries you hope to pull tomorrow? I don't care about just viability. Just the ones you want for the fun, the experimentation, the memes, or actual competitiveness! I'll go:
Kingsbane
The Darkness
Lynessa Sunsorrow
Kingsbane
The Darkness
Lynessa Sunsorrow
all those - Lynessa + Aluneth + okheart + Dragon soul just for reasons.
It's fun, but it's not really reliable. It just comes down to how lucky you are with your Brood draws.

So what time are expansions normally unlocked? Should I expect to open packs at midnight tonight (EST here), 3 AM EST, or some random update time thursday afternoon?
Aluneth scares me. I feel like I'll fatigue or burn cards too easily.
1pm EST is the typical launch time.

i threw in the 3 mana draw murloc, you have such cheap cards it's a good bet to help with the top decks
novice engineer might be better though, i always used novice engineer in constructed hunter quest (lol)
You really have to also play medivh if you plan to use aluneth. Or you have to play a bunch of burn spells.
Are people down on Potion of Heroism? I feel like it will be pretty easy to slot into a Handbuff style Pally deck. Add in that and Lynessa and you're basically done. I think the legendary weapon could be played a bit too, but only if everyone on ladder is running greedy-AF decks. So maybe for the first couple days of the expansion otherwise it will be too slow.
Potion of Heroism seems great in that it doesn't really cost you a card and gives something like ~2.5HP on average worth of health. Its like a slightly bigger Power Word Shield. Everyone plays PW:S. It seems like a no brainer to me. I don't think the dude paladin deck is any good, but you don't need that for Potion of Heroism.

potion of heroism is a solid card and likely has a home in control or midrange paladin decks. it's not a terribly flashy card so it's not very exciting. also power word shield is 1 mana and synergizes well with priest hero power. it's a huge difference. it should really cost 2 mana.
I just can't see handbuff or quest paladin being good. bonemare does way more for that deck than lynessa and it still wasn't enough.

oh that's cool it didn't require an app update from the store it just started downloading when I launched Hearthstone.
It pains me to see Togwaggle on the worst cards list. It isn't intended to be good, just a hell of a lot of fun. Review spreadsheets need an option to put a smiley face for a fun meme card. No need to give Mr. Tog a bad rating!
Actually I'm not sure now. The ingame update ran, but then it had a popup that said I needed to do one last update from the store.
However, the store isn't showing an update, and now the game is just stuck on the login screen. Did anyone else have this happen and does it just go away eventually?
Well, 1/3 1 cost cards can get really problematic.
Shame I forgot to rank the cards :(
Seems like the correct strategy for this brawl is to play beast hunter and stuff everything down the charge aisle. Hasty million power hyena ftw.
edit: and indeed it was the correctest of strategies as the prize pack yielded a golden Cenarius.

Oh cool, Legendary weapons have the little legendary dragon over them when equipped. (Atiesh is apparently considered a Legendary weapon.)
People who are doubting the Dire Mole. Consider that every 1/3 for 1 has eventually found it's way into a good deck, I think it's pretty safe to say this will too. Even the Vilefin Inquisitor which was considered a joke when it came out is now in a pretty strong murloc pally deck.
I know right? It's ok but 1/3 vanilla isn't exactly amazing, I don't know where the hype is coming from. Same thing happened when Enchanted Raven was revealed, oh look 1 mana 2/2 zomg. It's good but nothing crazy here. It's no 5/5 one drop, this is not STB, not even close.
this into razormaw is still way weaker than murloc curve and much less consistent for example.
All of those have a powerful text.

edit: I don't know how a card like Call to Arms ended up on high variance list, some of you guys are really bad XD

Getting mage wins was a pain, but then I needed hunter cards to clear out my quest and it was indeed good.
My favorite was including 3 copies of "now featuring charge" Swamp King Dred. That ended at least a few games by itself once people tried to play minions and realized what it did.
dire mole isn't vanilla it's a beast. think about the common turn 2 plays in hunter and aggro druid.
it kinda doesn't matter in that matchup. also I'm okay with them using their single pain on my 1 drop instead of my flappy bird or whatever.
I don't disagree. my first point is that priest is a super bad matchup and the difference between a 3/5 and a 4/4 is mostly irrelevant.
Hm, that is true. And later duskbreaker TOTALLY fucks flappy bird or living mana. Token druid might not even work out, but eh. Hard to call what will happen with Priest getting all of this stuff.
Part of me hopes Dragon doesn't really take off since I think Duskbreaker alone is fucking over a lot of archetypes, but I can't say I want to see more Raza feat. Psychic Scream either.
It usually translate to 8 damage minimum, it's very significant to your winning chances. Most of priest losses happens like that, early streamroll and you take too much damage, later in the game you beat pretty much everything.
I think dragon priest will take off for sure, it's probably one of the best decks to beat raza priests and big druid with and now beats pretty much all aggro. It's pretty crazy.
how much gold have you saved up to purchase the next expansion, and how long have you been saving?
i have about 6k and have been saving since august 2017.

It will snowball. Druid will play +2/+2 draw a card. Hunter will play 3/2 + adapt on the 1/3. You could easily be taking 3-4 damage on turn 2 from this 1 drop.
But Enchanted Raven in fact is amazing
Card never out of meta since released cant get better than that
Dire Mole will also gonna get played as much
Yes, any neutral/hunter beast from this expansion that costs 5 or less.
