    but then

    does scaled nightmare gain attack while in hand? seems like it shouldn't but the language is the same on both

    Yes and no, respectively. I agree the wording is a little too similar for the cards working differently.

    I think the last day to dust is like May 5th? I'm pretty sure i remember reading that on the patch notes.

    Yeah Forbidden Ancient seems bad.

    Seems pretty good in Astral Communion Druid.

    Or with Brann on the board. But yeah, X/X for X mana is behind curve.

    obviously there's going to be better stuff at every mana cost, you pay for flexibility

    ancient on war may be better at 7 mana but you can't play it on 5 mana (barring innervate)

    No one plays vanilla stats minions now. That may change in standard. Solid, card-text-less minions like Yeti may end up seeing more play in some decks, we'll see.

    Wow, the flavor text is a lot better this set than usual. Ones that haven't already been posted that I particularly liked
    Spreading Madness: Most citizens of Darkshire wear those surgical masks to prevent spreading Madness to tourists.
    Hooded Acolyte: Wait, what kind of acolyte doesn't wear a hood?
    Darkshire Alchemist: The secret ingredient: liquified funnel cake.
    Fandral Staghelm: Always manages to mention "Back when I was creating the World Tree…" in EVERY conversation. Sheesh! Enough already.

    If you go into your collection, hit "crafting," and search "whispers" in the little search box on the bottom, it will let you look at all the whispers cards (except C'Thun, since he's soulbound).

    Welp, I got a list of Legendaries I'm hoping to pop from my 100+ Old Gods packs.

    Class Leggos:
    Princess Huhuran - Seems essential for the new Midrange Hunter lists, just a really good card.
    Hallazeal the Ascended - Crazy healing potential, seems like a staple for Midrange Shaman
    Fandral Staghelm - Like Brann, seems to have pretty good value.
    Cho'gall - Natural fit for Reno/Hand Lock, I think

    Bonus: Xaril, Poisoned Mind - I don't really run Rogue too often, but this seems to be a good card for any potential archetypes, maybe even C'Thun Rogue. Definitely Raptor Rogue, if that continues to exist in some form.

    Neutral Leggos:
    ALL THE OLD GODS. But specifically, N'Zoth.
    Twin Emperor Vek'lor - Staple in C'Thun decks for sure.
    Soggoth the Slitherer - Maybe actually pretty good in slow Control decks? Shrug.
    Deathwing, Dragonlord - Pretty goddamn great Legendary for Dragon decks!

    The rest I don't really care about too much, I think. Other class leggos might be nice to get, just to have them.

    Nice to finally dust. Got 3700 :) Crafted Antonidas and then saved the rest. Man, mage is a whole new class now. If I had to do it over again, I'd craft Antonidas before Tirion.

    Forbidden stuff is good. How many times have you had a clogged hand and had to hero power two turns in a row? This card provides tempo at any mana cost. It's so good but I know flexibility is difficult to put into straight math.

    I particularly am looking forward to it in priest


    haven't played ragnaros in a while and just had him survive 4 turns as tempo mage vs priest. damn that feels good.

    So a lot of those 3/2 2 drops just got a lot more playable, imo. The Leper gnome nerf is more huge than I thought it would be.

    That magazine cover is something else...

    Wild Pyromancer + Stealth Spare Part was tested. Wild Pyromancer also retains stealth.

    But the NEXT spell you cast removes the Stealth due to the damage trigger. So something weird is happening where the Spare Part applies Stealth at two different times, I guess.

    Totally intentional :P

    I don't know why I'm so amused by these bugs but I am for some reason!
