Althemia Posted March 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Standard isn't coming out next week, but the article is probably still legit due to how much random stuff they seem to have about the set including the poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althemia Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 What an amazing set-up. Players will get C'Thun FOR FREE the first time they open a Whispers of the Old God pack, and all players will be receiving 3 free packs of Whisper of the Old Gods when the set drops.

Aerion Brightflame Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Why can an old God be turned into a sheep, or killed by a Hunter with a big gun? I understand that it's for balance purposes given how the Cultist works, but it's still kinda eeeeeh. Additionally:Everyone logging on during the promotional period will get 3 free packsIn your first Whispers of the Old Gods pack you get a free C'thuun. It's a 138 card set iircDue late April/Early May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 The first 3 cards probably suck, C'Thun seems like Anyfin can Happen in the sense that it's a deck where you play a bunch of mediocre minions then play a massive 10-mana finisher. Jury's out on how good it will be, gonna depend on what other cards are released. Super excited, though. Also this almost guarantees a BGH nerf.

Althemia Posted March 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Corrupted Healbot for the Priest shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I actually like Healbot for Priest. It's basically a bigger Zombie Chow, use it for minion value in trades and to swing tempo. It even pays for itself in hero damage in two swings. The burn damage is just a little extra thing for fun.

ihop Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 It's literally 1 atk up from Pit Fighter and awful outside of super inconsistent Auchenai combos. It sucks. Chow was played because it has waaay better stats than any 1-drop and 5-drops have better effects than 1-drops anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihop Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Also, did anyone else pick up on the fact that Innervate was used to get out C'Thun? idk if I'm reading too far into this but to me it points to innervate not being nerfed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they're still deciding what to nerf and more than likely extensively testing the new cards in conjunction with the new standard cards, specifically the classic set. That's probably why the release date is so far and up in the air because they want to get the classic nerfs right so they never have to redo them down the road. My best guess is that this will be the longest wait from announcement to actual release date that we'll have for a very long time to come, there's just so much sheet that they have to extensively test.

Aerion Brightflame Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I would've thought that was just show they could showcase one of the buffers and C'Thuun himself in one turn, and there's not really an easier way to do that. I don't think it really says much about whether or not it will be nerfed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, pretty much. Also, as for Innervate, not sure how exactly they could even nerf it. Make it the same as a coin? Sounds very weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 You're probably right, just something I picked up on. This, pretty much. Also, as for Innervate, not sure how exactly they could even nerf it. Make it the same as a coin? Sounds very weak. Making it restore 2 mana rather than gain 2 mana seems like the most logical nerf to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Althemia Posted March 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Seems fine honestly. A card like this in Paladin means that Solemn Vigil is going to get even better since they now have more strong token spawn. People are going to make the mistake of comparing this to Muster which it's obvious that Muster is better because Muster was already way too good.

ihop Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I mean, Muster is not just better, it's WAY better. This is incredibly expensive for such a flimsy board and just gets worse now that Quartermaster isn't a thing anymore. 5 1/1s is just so susceptible to all kinds of things and it's such a loss of tempo to play it only to get Fanned or Flamewakered or something. Muster would have been very mediocre if it didn't give the weapon and this is even less mana efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muster would have been very mediocre if it didn't give the weapon and this is even less mana efficient.yeah, but standard is changing the game's balance in ways we can't fully understand yet because the next set is not out yet, we have seen literally 1 pally card. they could be getting a new "quartermaster" spell or minon that cloud make some sort of super powerful play with this late game. like, what is if blessing of kings every silver hand you hadn. and suddenly for ten mana you get 5 6/6. that doesn't sound too bad. now, I'm not saying it will be that big, but you can't just leave the silver hand buffs out in a set they are giving paladin a field flooding card like this. I have always seen paladin as akin to magic's "white winnie" build style, where they flood the field with little guys and then apply AoE buffs that completely overwhelm the opponent. this card could be a very powerful effect ot have access to, we have to wait and see.

Althemia Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hogger, Doom of Elwynn 7 Mana 6/6 Whenever this minion takes damage, summon a 2/2 Gnoll with Taunt Potential, but... Seems a little hard to get to work? Giant Sandworm 8 Mana 8/8 Beast Whenever this minion kills a minion, it can attack again.
