A 2/3 for 2 and 3/4 for 3 are good for arena I disagree with this I think it's good. It would just be another vanilla 2/3 or 3/4 since I'm taking none of the C'Thun cards will have any other additional effects. So in that way they're restricting the amount of 3/4s in the game so that their value is kept, having multiple cards that are the same is just boring. | ||

We know that at least 1 TGT trailer card might be in WoG - + Show Spoiler + | ||

Blackrock Mountain - Dargons Dragons of Tarkir - Dargons Shadows over Innistrad - most likely Cthulu Mythos Inspired (investigation tropes) Battle for Zendikar/Oath of the Gatewatch - Eldrazi are Cthulu Mythos inspired Whispers of the Old Ones - Cthulu Mythos Inspired League of Explorers - Exploration theme Battle for Zendikar/Oath of the Gatewatch - Zendikar was originally an Exploration world That's about it though, Naxxramas' closest equivalent in MTG would probably be Innistrad, The Grand Tournament doesn't really have a MTG analogy, and Goblins vs Gnomes (with the mech theme) is most closely approximated by Mirrodin (or Kaladesh, a plane with limited exposure so far, but with a lot of thopters and man-robots). Though the similarities of the first two comparisons really make me wonder if there is some common thread that has influenced the flavor of some of the recent sets from MTG and Hearthstone. | ||

Also lets pray we get no Old God Temple in Hearthstone if Hearthstone is copying MTG | ||

C’Thun and Beckoner of Evil will be free. They felt this was only fair because it would feel bad if you kept getting minions that helped C’Thun without ever actually being lucky enough to open him in a pack. Players will receive 3 free packs of Whispers of the Old Gods during their release event by simply logging in. Patch next week includes: Pre-Purchase (includes card back) Thailand localization Additional deck slots Deck recipes Classic card nerfs will not be announced until much closer to release. They feel it would feel bad to know this far ahead which cards you own will be getting nerfed. No new tribes are added to this expansion. C’thun is the only Old God which has the minion support. The other gods will have different style of abilities. There will be at least 1 new dragon in this expansion (Brian Kibler was happy). Arena will not have the C’Thun cards included. Since they have specific synergy with 1 card they decided to not have them even show up in arena at all. - http://hearthstone.blizzpro.com/2016/03/11/whispers-of-the-old-gods-announced/ | ||

I get the feeling that they are well behind schedule, forced to release information on an expansion well short of the expected release date, on or near the two year anniversary of Hearthstone and with what will be one of the longest periods without new content. Luckily there is fair variety in the current meta game, at least when compared to earlier interval periods, however, ~six months is a long time to be without new content. You would think with the success of LoE that they would follow a similar or short release schedule, because no hype train can be reasonably sustained over that period, I would think. | ||

Blizzard slipped up with TGT. They had to rush and release LoE early to make up for the slack of TGT. Now we have a period of time for WoG that we shouldn't have | ||

My favorite part was how it was already out by the time I even knew about it. I imagine that's partly why we're getting the free cards, particularly the 3 packs, to make up for the wait. I'm probably gonna have to forget about the set until release gets closer, few things are worse than overhyping a card set. At least we have spoiler season I guess. More cards being announced tomorrow which is something.Better to discuss new cards than QQ about secret pala / waiting on the nerfs for 3 more months. Also new deck slots on Monday ^^ | ||

There's a pretty big difference between the two cards. Deathwing clears the board and then may get BGH'd or removed some other way. C'Thun can potentially win the game with his battlecry. There's another difference. We know what Deathwing does and we can't say the same about C'thun. C'mon guys, nobody sees any elephants in the room? They said there are 16 cards that interact with C'thun and we have seen only 2 of those. The rest 14? Who knows what they do. Reduce the cost of C'thun? Give C'thun haste? Immunity? "Cannot be targeted by your opponents spells, abilities and minion battlecries"? "Deathrattle: fill your board with 3/3 tentacles with haste"? "Deathrattle: shuffle it back into your deck"? I have a feeling that not all of those 14 cards just simply buff C'thuns attack power. | ||

or at least the most fun one xD lets say you get him to 14/14 or something (like in the video). i think 14 dmg for 10 mana is fine (better then pyroblast for sure), then shadowstep him, and replay him next turn and since he will cost 8, you can take him back with youthful brewmaster, then repeat it twice more! with brann added, each summoner will add +4/+4. god this will be fun! Core: 2x Shadowstep 1-2x Youthful Brewmaster 2x Beckoner of Evil 1x Brann Bronzebeard 1x C'Thun + lots of removal and carddraw.. could be coupled with some kind of mill deck?.. hmm. Gang up! for sure xD cards to think about: 1-2x Vanish 2x Coldlight Oracle (to get C'thun into your hand on turn 10) 2x Gang Up I love the idea already (even though it does not sound super effective, but mill rogue is not either and i love the deck) | ||

Only Cthun will have the cultist theme. Also reminder that Ben Brode stated more cards will be revealed during the tournament and the next stream goes live in 2 hours | ||
