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 “Your Shaladrassils permanently cost 0 this game”) is still there. But anyway, still good. I’ll post this here again, also about Tess:

Number one, immediately: rotate cards like Shadowstep, Preparation etc, which have been ‘broken’ and plagued the game since at least 2014 ( or perhaps even 2013, dunno).

Man, even Ice Block in Standard (yes, I’m not kidding) would have been less problematic than this.

Moreover, 10+ years of Roguestone in general have been more than enough. The current Core set has Tess, who can single-handedly win games if discovered by some other class (e.g. by Marin), had it happen with Taunt Warrior, but isn’t even good enough for trendy Rogue decks at the moment — which speaks sufficiently about the class, I think… Imagine what would have happened if other classes had stuff like Shudderwock, Ilgynoth (or however you spell it) in Core? Maybe even some Colossals, Titans or whatnot? They’d literally wail about it, yet for the Rogue class, such weak stuff isn’t even good enough.

Same about some of those other ‘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 ‘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.
