I'll play Rehgar as an aggressive support in QM if the matchmaker gives us two supports, so I'm wondering if Bloodlust is going to be viable. 120 sec cd was always a pain in the ass as it's never be up for consecutive team fights, but at 90, it's more usable. Butcher with Bloodlust would be...

I have no idea how humans are capable of this. I think Mangini's actually a machine.

Agreed, and it should be named Cutpurse over Burglar, too. Makes more sense with the graphic and description.

Sea Giant Zoo is pretty strong. Replace a few cards for 2x Shade and 2x Anima Golem and it may work.

I was more excited that you could play both Dreadsteed and Anima Golem on the same turn. But you're right, you probably wouldn't be holding on to Dreadsteed to drop them both at the same time.

Nice, turn 10 combo unless he has hard removal in hand (or another way to deal with a 9/9).

I kinda like it. Can't get rid of it unless you silence or Poly/Hex it. It's also a demon, so it gets buffed by Mal'Ganis / other Demonfire/fuse/heart, can be pulled out of your hand by Void Caller so you don't have to pay 4 mana for a 1/1, can use Power Overwhelming and/or Shadowflame and...

Got around to watching this this morning. What a crazy game. Kinda weird on TS to pick such a tanky comp and C9M definitely capitalized on that + the two skills that allow them to steal bosses.

One shortcoming of Lance Bearer is that it's friendly minion only. So can't combo him with BGH or SW:D for removal.

Well yeah. That's what I meant. If your opponent has like Harrison and Ysera on board, then Confuse + Lightbomb will take care of Ysera and leave a 4/1 Harrison on board, which is a terrible example bc for two cards you'd want to clear the board...

I could see Confuse + Lightbomb to take care of things like Ysera, Ancient of War, or really anything with more hp than attack. Only way it could backfire is if your opponent's minions have more attack than hp, but that hardly ever happens.

Definitely has a damage bias on it. Second skill doesn't look like it heals for very much. I wonder if it's a targeted heal or just whoever's lowest hp nearby. Also, what's up with the Stasis effect on his healing ult? Can't move / can't be hurt during the ~1 sec activation?

Monk skills leak: Rexxar skills leak:

New char: Lucio. Knockback, heals or gives a speed boost, Q shields teammates, and can wall grind for movement. Pretty interesting skill set, I like him. Seems like he'll be less vulnerable than Mercy and this is the first char that can give a speed boost, which isn't as good as Symmetra's...

Good point, forgot about the different *sabers in Warcraft. I wonder how they're going to name the forms though, Cat Form already being taken.

Kind of a nit, but where are they getting these names from? TGT seems to have some pretty poorly named ones like Druid of the Saber and Argent Horserider

TownHall Invitational finale between C9 Maelstrom and Tempo Storm from last week And a great breakdown of the last few team fights by Fan

I could see it for more tempo plays, but at 3 mana, it's too expensive for oil rogue, imo. At 4 mana though, 2/1 divine shield, charge, + 4 attack Cold Blood could be a pretty nice aggro play

It's obviously meant to be a tempo card though. Turn 4 with coin, or turn 5 with Backstab or something. Don't know if it'll make Tempo Rogue viable again, but I loved that archetype.

Good deal. Sounded kinda dumb at first, but could be a card you swap in depending on the meta like Kezan Mystic

Confirmed to not work w Jaraxxus.Whirthun on Twitter:

Yeah... why would you play that over Demonfire, which isn't really played now. The mana crystal draw back is okay for Arcane Golem where the idea is to kill the opponent as fast as possible before the big minions drop. But +3/+3 just doesn't seem good enough to allow your opponent to drop bigger...

Your minion lives at 1 hp. I think they put a check in so it doesn't just sit in an infinite loop of trying to kill an unkillable minion

Sometimes you go for the yolo plays and they work out. Sucks to be on the losing side of RNG, but I bet it felt great for him

I went on a fairly bad losing streak myself a week or so ago (29 to like 33) and just stopped caring about HL. I primarily play healer, and there's only so much a healer can do to carry a team. I'd rather play QM for fun every so often than watch my HL rank slowly drop.

Kinda random, but why is 'you' in bold for those two cards?

It means you draw a card from your deck. Trueheart removes the 2 health cost

I think most of all, I'm looking forward to StrifeCro making decks with these new cards. I fail at making viable decks and 99% of the time I steal his decks. Like, here he made a viable Dragon Egg deck:

I'm not a great deck builder, but would that fit into current decks? Savage Combatant is a 5 drop, Justicar is a 6, so ramp? Midrange + combo? Maybe just a new archetype?

It's kinda interesting in that if you play it against a 3/2, you want it to hit face unless you're Mage/Druid/Rogue and can ping. Dropping it against a 2/3 (or mini-bot), you want it to hit the minion. Not terrible.

Except you probably don't want to buff it as it'll return to your hand the next time you use your hero power. It could possibly see some use in Rogue where you turn 2 dagger and never really use it and then you have a hard to remove body for Oil.

Decent for arena

Need paladin for Repentance. edit: Just replayed and saw that the Hunter had the Pally secret, so he had Kezan Mystic'd the Repentance earlier.

So if you're in Shadowform, you go back to +4 heal? And if you've replaced your hero w/ Jaraxxus or Rag, you get the improved hero power?

I'd like to see some text where you have to kill both at the same time if both are in play by the same person. Would be OP as hell (esp if they both kept getting shields every turn), but fitting for that fight.

No healer pick (well, Tass + Tyrande) by C9Maelstrom vs Tempo Storm for this July NA Open. I think C9 gave up

I don't get that comparison, how do you figure Naz and Lili have the same problems?

Fresh farmer's market eggs in the water bath. Looking forward to brunch.

On the new map, with all the little path blockers, scouting drones and creep tumors are so good. Also, I feel like aggressive melee assassins fare better than others. Lots of little areas to surprise people / split teams up.

Just thinking out loud here, but would it be that broken to allow us to cast spells during an opponents turn if we left mana for it? I guess the game would become 'too twitchy' as you'd want to kill off Warsong Commander before everything else hits the board. Secrets would probably be broken...
