The tears of Rogues will flow

I can understand retiring Brewmaster with how hard he multiplies a lot of strong battlecries (and RIP to Rogue finally losing Shadowstep) but I wish you’d put out Dirty Rat at the same time, Brew was the only chance for most of us to get our important cries back into our hand if they got yanked (Pity Rafaam)

Not the end of the world for those rogue snowflakes, it’s about time, all classes have lost important cards in their history and have survived and reinvented.

im glad that Major Noggenfoger is on the list, prepare to receive infinite attack hammers to the face.

but where are mutanus, theotar and loatheb?

Shadowstep is a big surprise. This card always felt so immune against changes.

I’m looking forward to the new meta since the sets that rotate out contain so many dominant cards. Now I’m even more excited.

Also there is no new 0-mana minion in the core set which is unusual.

First things first…

Cards Entering and Leaving Core in Year of the Scarab

INFERNO!

Oh, and also:

Blood Fury

Why are they listed separately? Can they be generated by something else than Lord Jaraxxus, which is also listed?

Now, to the changes in question… So far, looks good, but the Wisp — why? It was so cute… had some synergies with that Emerald Dream stuff…

Roguestep — yes, yes, yes, good riddance! Come to think of it, though, the joy is somewhat short-lived, though, since another persistent atrocity called Preparation (aka ā€œYour Shaladrassils permanently cost 0 this gameā€) is still there. But anyway, still good. I’ll post this here again, also about Tess:

Same about some of those other ā€˜staples’, too.

New cards look interesting, for example, DH is getting at least something instead of that joke card in terms of legendaries…

Emphasis on ā€˜RNG’ and Gnomeferatu — less cool, but I suppose they couldn’t have done without it.

That’s it for some quick recap, haven’t got time for more right now — so, sorry if I missed something… See ya! TTFN and all.

swiipe??? (my main use been removing aggro paladin tokesn)

everybody celebrating shadowstep being gone which isnt bad
but for me im happy CRUSADER AURA being removed !!!

:grinning_face: What a classy way to call Rogue playahz ā€˜nobodies’… which they are, frankly speaking. :rofl: But that’s not the main point, just my playing the ā€˜Snarky Elf’ again… :grinning_face:

Yes, that too — among some of the more obnoxious ā€˜staples’ mentioned before. You’ve got a point here, that’s a good one to celebrate.

Now, to continue with some themes mentioned above…

Since nobody has mentioned it here yet, perhaps I shall. Obviously, it’s also been a cheap — literally so — way to activate Elise, so it might be their way of addressing it. Of course, Rogues or Druids still have got 0-cost cards, also Priests, Shamans and Warlocks, but DKs lose that horn!

Of course, Calia Menethil also looks particularly interesting — and so priestly, for once, too… Well, more or less all of them are in some way.

What else… Twisting Nether — hello again… More ā€˜control’ Warlock for the class that’s been struggling with it?

PS Also nearly forgot to mention The Soularium: bye-bye again, Quest Warlock?

Not sure Warrior’s happy with what the class is getting instead of its ā€˜staples’, and nor am I: gotta say, the old ones were kinda ā€˜iconic’ without being annoying, while the new set (a little bit of this and that… taunts, pirates and whatnot) is… a bit ā€˜meh’. Well, maybe some change is refreshing, though — at least, there’s that.

Hey now, playing from phone is no basis of being ignorant or lazy

No, don’t need more classes that are a copy of another

Yes, maybe i went too far with that…
Also its fine to play pre-made decks,
Not everyone enjoys thinking…

I am really glad you are not on the dev team

This gets me excited! Love scarab for the year and like the rotations.

I love the new legendary cards from a character perspective. You can have a 10/10 for character choice!

He was actually my first legendary for that expansion and a golden one at that. I’ve fond memories of him

Haha, so funny. I was thinking of being a Rogue main upon return lol (I just like the different archetypes through the ages).

Let’s see what new expac holds though.

Especially Tichondrius for DH? :grinning_face:
