So which new cards are you most excited about?

Discussion

Now that we've had some time to think and ponder about the full new set, which cards are you most excited to try out, experiment with, all that jazz?

For me personally, I'm excited for the silence cards (priest and maybe druid, though obviously one will be a lot stronger), hunting party for a gimmicky OTK deck, and hagatha for some kind of weird control shudderwock deck.

But most of all, freakin' Kalecgos. Just a really cool legendary, and dragon decks are a blast for me.

This is the first set I’m going to open my new packs without seeing a single card. Without spoiling, how does it look?

Oooh, that'll be fun.

It's thematically great, fits the whole "magic and villains" theme of stuff really well.

There are some quite powerful cards and some really cool effects as well, though so far nothing looks absolutely bonkers and/or broken? There's some really neat effects, and lots of new archetypes popping up (or old archetypes that didn't really have their time in the sun)

It's looking to potentially be a blast, though a lower power level of a blast compared to YotM

I know this is going to sound kind of strange but I honestly try not to get excited about a card until it's in my collection. I don't want to get excited and theorycraft or make plans for only for me not get the card. I am excited for the expansion to hit but I'm holding off my "I'm looking forward to using" untill I know I have it to use.

That's actually a pretty good mentality for it, especially if you're shorter on dust. Neat attitude.

Thank you glad you did not think I was being a downer it's just that I think that the worst thing with Random card packs is people have a tendency to turn hope into expectation and then are disappointed when they don't get the cards they "Expect" it is a "lottery" after all. I just want to be happy with what I get rather then be dissapointed with what I don't.

I am talking from a strictly from the point of view of someone who won't get all the cards as we know there will be some that will and more power to them.

Jepetto in all decks that's pretty much it .. Mechathun meta going to survive ..

Spent a ton of dust on a Mecha’thun deck two months ago because “Naturalize or Innervate aren’t going anywhere so combo will always exist.” Lo and behold naturalize is leaving standard. Opened my 50 rise of Shadows prepurchased packs and pulled Jepetto. I hadn’t even realized the card existed so my reaction went like “ooh legendary!” “wait wtf is this” “double wait combo decks aren’t deck with this card”

Druid can still do mecha'thun by discounting him and combining with voodoo doll and innervate (and moonfire obviously)

Why would you think naturalize isn't going anywhere. It was a strong cotender for the rotation along with doomguard and malygos.

I'm the most excited about the Warrior cards, since there seems to be a lot of good support for Rush Warrior and Big Warrior, which are archetypes I've had a lot of fun with (although all the Recruit mechanics leaving will hurt the latter). I can't wait to try out the bomb archetype too. I'm also excited for all the new Murlocs for Murloc Shaman (although I'm sure it'll be absolute cancer soon enough).

Rush I definitely enjoy a lot, big isn't quite my thing, but it did get some cool new tools for sure. Bomb might be a good combo with rush, rush would play the old Dr Boom if it could I bet.

And murlocs probably will be the new hated aggro deck, but... I just like murloc decks too much to really hate them.

I want to make Hakkar Warlock with Fel Lord Betrug and plot twist, along with the girl who replaces your deck (or even Rafaam).

It's not going to be very good at all, but it's been too long since I played a janky homebrew deck.

Ooh, that'll be interesting. I guess hakkar is an even better late game fatigue condition now.

Ah, I must have missed those, a quick look through the different sorting options of reddit didn't show any to me.
