Great review. Enjoyed the fact you tried to see a positive side to all the cards. Nice to see someone try to find a way they could work instead of just dunking on them. Side note: does it bother anyone else that the red card…card makes something dormant for two turns. I believe in most sports a red card means your out of the remainder of the game. It should be titles yellow card.
I think the idea with the Magtheridon, Unreleased is that the name is yes, a joke on an unreleased card of sorts. In particular as the aesthetics of the art presented and the combination of mech and demon goes back to the Rusted Legion from Ashes of Outland. That and a bit of a pun with a still bound Magtheridon, bound with machines instead of chains.
It's always interesting what Rune Decks gets the most and least support with an expansion. Here's the list I've made (This doesn't include the 2024 Core set changes and it doesn't show the impact of Discover cards can have - this is literally just deckbuilding): BBB - 2 FFF - 1 UUU - 2 BBF - 3 BBU - 6 BUU - 6 FUU - 3 BFF - 3 FFU - 3 BFU (Rainbow) - 7
Has anyone else noticed how every Hearthstone card has lil imperfections on them? For minions, on the left-middle and right-middle sides, there's cuts and faded look. For spells, the edge of the whole card is imperfect. When I saw Ci'CiGi, I thought the HS team created a special look for the 'mint condition' cards where they *don't* have those little imperfections. I was a bit sad to see that it just meant 'un-nerfed'
Yes I thought there would be an effect like this with Ci’cigi, especially after seeing that other card in this set that draws a minion and puts a mustache on it. At least make the mint cards have a little sparkle or a little holo sticker or something
I think people are really undervaluing Red Card for aggro and midrange. just being able to dormant an opponent's turn 3 or 4 play so it can't trade with your board is so huge for securing early advantage.
I'm pretty positive if window shopper would be reduced in mana value, the discovered demon will still be 5 mana, because on board (which it would be when the battlecry triggers) it would check for it's cost, which would be it's base cost, 5.
I don't think that's quite right, but chances are they can only ever have 1 super powerful card for each of the three rune types at a time. Like completely over the top cards that justify nerfing your options, or having more generalized deck options in rainbow or hybrid. They probably have found they're going to struggle to keep it hard to make all versions of DK even going forward. But giving rainbow the time to shine this time around isn't a bad choice.
All the cards who support the big DH archetype right now, are rotating out. You can no longer summon free demons from your deck... So with the release of the new expansion, i don't think that a big DH deck would be viable. Tbh i don't think DH will be be viable in general... Looks pretty bad, maby the worst of all classes.
can they please stop making death knight and demon hunter into "win button dot decks" i really hate that these decks are just "so this is the class for botting to mythic with a 90% win rate"
You missed the death knight spellstone

silk stitching + threads of despair could be kind of funny.
“Meteor position” I think the word you are looking for is “Betrayal position”

wudnt be expansion time without kiblers review
I just like this xpac is more bout dumb stupid fun cards instead of the seriousness that the last few xpacs have been bout.
I'm pretty positive if window shopper would be reduced in mana value, the discovered demon will still be 5 mana, because on board (which it would be when the battlecry triggers) it would check for it's cost, which would be it's base cost, 5.
after the theorycrafting it appears i was wrong, hearthstone is hard to predict in terms of hidden rules and mechanics lol
LET'S GOOO
Seems pretty clear that they've no interest in single rune DK decks anymore.
"But it seemed like a good idea at the time!" -Blizz, probably
I don't think that's quite right, but chances are they can only ever have 1 super powerful card for each of the three rune types at a time.

Haven't watched any Whizbang content yet, but if theres not a King Plush for Hunter i'm gonna be dissapointed
You got king plush.
Magtheridon, unreleased is also randomly a mech. Annihilans are not mechs as far as I understood but whatever I guess. . .
