One thing to note that I haven't seen anybody mention is Acolyte of Pain is in the Core Set. So technically there is a standard buff mixed in all of it.

10:25 Man I do love playing my Jade Swarmer on 1 and Jade Shuriken on 2. Also 12:52 the rhymes 14:00 Zeddy didn't notice that it now buffs C'Thun when enemy minions die, too.

[@colinpierre2048]

It would be nice for them to do a remake of galakgrond. Would be sick to see a DK and DH Galakgrond, and more support cards for galakgrond heroes.

[@Zakading]

If they do these wild sets in phases based on previous metas the game had (likely in relation to the current Twist rotation), Galakron is probably going to be in the third set.

[@locogato3488]

That would be awesome, Galakrond is my favorite Legendary ever, I really hope the next Wild set includes some support for him.

Convert does not say "it costs (1) less" but "It costs (1)" and that is huge buff. Now for total 4 mana you can copy and play ANY enemy minion.

[@Bob_Bobinson]

They should have kept it at 2 with the buff. Unfortunately it seems that blizzard lacks the balls to do that.

[@franco5120]

I believe you misread Convert. The copy costs 1, not 1 less, huge buff

[@titanknight5166]

Think you missed that there was a buff for Worgen Greaser about a year back when comparing the original and buffed version

[@Zakading]

Crystal Runner being buffed is a level of cancer I thought hardly possible.

[@xitsmikey]

All those buffs are nice and all, but they do not address the current wild issues. I think the plague of pirate rouges and even shamans that even bots play it will still ruin the fun in wild. Also most of these changes are twist targeted, not really wild

[@fishraposo7192]

In fact, this makes it worse lol

[@solkvist8668]

I believe they did announce they were going to crack down on bots which will help, but yeah these changes aren’t realistically going to change the meta much. They actually buffed secret mage twice with these changes which is deranged, and small time bucc is a big deal too. The format just needs bots gone, after that I think it gets a lot healthier since you don’t have a bunch of robots playing aggro decks poorly to legend. Aggro will likely be slightly less popular as well, even if it is still quite strong.

[@antman7673]

There is still hope with the 34 extra cards specifically wild exclusive. But I am not hopeful.

[@tarille1043]

@@antman7673 They already showed 3 of them... 1 is a 4 mana spell for Shaman that summons all 5 basic totems... So I don't think there's much hope of them dialling back broken decks when they're literally adding more fuel to them...

[@JorisVDC]

Who still believes that Wild can be salvaged? It always was and is going to be this mess. I am confident that only hard broken things will get addressed, simply because balance is pretty hard to obtain with that much cards and interactions.

[@Meca-Mat]

I forgot how it works with Core Set cards, can we decide to put in our deck any version of a card? For example, can I decide which Malorne I want to play in my deck? Also, can't wait for Mark to destroy the enemy hero with Flame Lance via Silas Darkmoon on the Soulbound Ashtongue!

[@tarille1043]

I for one, am quite interested in how these buffs will impact the Dungeon Runs. Given many of the cards being buffed are staples in the buckets you are offered in Tombs of Terror and Dalaran Heist. Of course, the flip side is bosses decks are being buffed because they use a lot of these cards, could be annoying if there are some new scam bosses due to these changes.

[@locogato3488]

I also really like Solo content and these changes will make it more interesting, but with some side effects like 8 Mana C'Thun for K'zrath that you can no longer disable with Glyph of Warding.

[@filipvadas7602]

True, I didn't even realise how crazy this would be for Solo Adventures. But, then again, the AI is *broken* in a lot of places too so it evens out lol

[@evsya7674]

Oh, Acidmaw going to 3 qualifies it for Zombeasts which is interesting, assuming they don't forget to include it into the pool could lead to very interesting hunter comebacks

[@fankrys]

Wait, Convert card says it cost (1), not it cost (1) less. Is that a typo, it seems really effing good, imagine copying an enemy titans, or colossus, or astalor, or denatrius and it cost (1).

[@different_stuff]

9:46 remember the times when Zeddy didn't read words that are out there on a card? Now he DOES read words that are NOT on a card. it costs (1) (not less).

[@deejayf69]

I wish this was solely focused on Wild instead of Twist. They advertised it as such and it doesn't quite live up to that expectation.

[@Ranja-NL]

Question: does Flame Leviathan do damage to heroes that would count as mecha like annoyotron?

[@locogato3488]

No it shouldn't. Unless of course they add it as a secret interaction.

​@@Ranja-NLYes you are right, it was Sacrificial Pact, they even made Zephrys always offer it against Jaraxxus. Too bad it doesn't work anymore.

[@filipvadas7602]

Really mixed on this. Some of the changes/reworks are *amazing* and I think do a lot for some of these older archetypes/strategies. But on the other hand, holy hell they went crazy with buffing some that needed to be *nerfed* instead Also, considering this is wild we're talking about, that means that a lot of these buffed cards will now have a serious effect on bosses in Solo Adventures.

[@jor2416]

I love that blizzard is doing this, all these old cards are now much more in line with new cards.

[@breznsalzer7323]

The real question is, can you play around Flame Leviathan by playing as Mecha-Jaraxxus?

as a person addicted to solo adventures, i am scared of the C'thun buff, K'zrath is going to be insane (or mad if you prefer)

[@icebergerplays9639]

On the bright side the c'thun bucket got way better

[@AwoudeX]

I regularly play a double c'thun deck: c'thun the shattered and regular c'thun in one deck. It was already fun before the buffs. Just don't go all in on c'thun buffing, get a decent bunch of discover cards and aslo some mana crystal buffs in there and you'll outpace the removal of most decks once you hit 10 mana and give everything +4+4 with that buff card of 10 mana i forgot the name of. There is this 8 mana 6/6 minion that draws your highest spell and summons a critter for the mana cost of that spell, which does 2 things: 2 more chances of getting the buff in your hand, and a huge tempo swing with a 10 cost minion and a 6/6 getting dumped on the board. There's some armor spells and some heal and removal in there aswell. It has a higher rate of winning than 50%, it's not a great deck if you want to run to legend rank, but it's fun and people tend to not respond to it correctly at all.

[@saltkeeper44]

17:19 the left card is wrong, worgen is a 6/4

[@pedrike]

I appreciate your effort setting up the PowerPoint presentation and each new card, but I was hoping for your intake instead of a rapid fire review. You misread some of them like Addled Grizzly who got nerfed in non Beast decks

Psychmelon C'thun strikes me as a fun meme deck 😂 Aviana could do something dangerous with the current state of Druid though, given the fact that Tony Druid is in play along with a few other crazy mana cheats and the like. either ramping to 10 for the Aviana Kun combo and going nuts, or just using it in place of the other mana cheat options may allow them to increase the reliability of their draw. There's also the fact that King Togwaggle is still sitting there at 8 as another way to screw with the opponent's deck, and Soulstealer completes the set for lockout druids

Great video but few innacuracies: 1) Usher of Souls also buffs C'Thun whenever ANY minion dies, not just friendly 2) Silverware Golem will get an extra attack, not extra health. Also we will get two more old cards that they'll rework rather than just buff them

[@Sacaed13]

I wonder how these changes will affect Solo Adventures, which has some of my favorite game modes like Dalaran Heist and the Zandalar Rumble. There are some changes in the game that have never make it to the Solo Adventures, like Thrive in the Shadows still discovers a copy of a spell in your deck instead of discovering the spell itself like it currently does in Standard. So it will be interesting to see if these changes make it through and how it might affect certain builds in the adventures.

[@nthetiteGHOST]

Acidmaw Shellshot is literally 6 mana remove 3, which is pretty good for hunter that doesnt have strong removal normally.

Jade is a big component in mill. They just don’t use that card and the deathrattle but many use the wild growth one and all use jade idol.

[@matthewmazzatto8003]

Jade Blossom is a strictly better Wild Growth, so the fact that they use that isn't too surprising.

[@Zakading]

To be fair, the only reason it's played in milled is exactly Jade Idol and not because it summons minions but because it's a 1 mana spell in Druid and prevents Fatigue. None of the other Jade cards see any play.

[@renxiangyak]

​@@matthewmazzatto8003 jade blossom is worse when you are at full mana crystals since u can't draw a card

I am really curious, does all this mean that DH and DK get anything in Caverns Of Time?? Like C'Thun DK would be pretty flavourful. Or what about adressing the awkwardness of Even DH? Change Glenn to say "For the rest of the game, your hero power cost (1) less"

[@impossibru7259]

Hm.... Kinda sad to see... Powercreep has gotten so insane with the new cards getting absolutely ridiculous, so what they do to deal with that is... just powercreep all the old cards too? I hate the "if everything's broken, nothing's broken" logic in videogames, this might slowly kill wild :(

[@solkvist8668]

I think it’s more accurate to say the decks will be tier 3 instead of tier 5, but like 4 of these changes have any meaningful impact on wild, most of those being pretty concerning at best. Secret mage getting buffs wasn’t necessary, and while pirate rogue wasn’t in a particularly amazing spot adding a premier one drop in small time buccaneer isn’t great either. If you aren’t playing in diamond or higher I think the older decks will be fun to play with, but realistically after the hype is gone the meta will look basically identical.

[@tarille1043]

Given things like Frog Shaman and Tony Druid that can win on turn 5 consistently... I don't think old dead decks will be at all relevant.

Paltress buff is a buff to standard. Play the 2 mana card that lets you discover a priest legendary from the past. You hit Paltress a lot by the way.

isnt convert busted? not in wild maybe but it says "it costs" not "it costs 1 less", so it's 4 mana any minion.

[@tarille1043]

Sure. But it still doesn't remove the enemy minion. It also requires the opponent to play something worth stealing... And not killing you right after. It also requires a deck for it to exist in. Shadow Priest doesn't care about stealing a minion because it's just blowing your face up. Big Priest doesn't want it because it will make their res pool worse.

[@giangole]

@@tarille1043 not in wild, but in twist in a slower meta, you have any legendary for 4 mana, like chtun or nzoth seems pretty busted to me.

[@tarille1043]

@@giangole Stealing C'thun, 1) Implies the opponent didn't kill you with their C'thun they played and 2) Doesn't do anything because C'thun buffs are specific to the PLAYER not the C'thun. Same with N'zoth... You have to be playing a Deathrattle deck for your own N'zoth to be worth anything. That's the thing, many big cards just aren't good outside the decks built for them or they will outright kill you when they're played. In a slow meta the card can be decent, if you grab something like Anub'arak, Kun, Rattlegore, Ragnaros, Sneeds, Tirion, Dr Boom etc. But being decent occasionally won't make the card broken. Especially not when it's a dead card versus any aggressive deck.

I think the HS team wants standard, twist, and battlegrounds to be the big three, with Wild going the way of the arena, there but forgotten.
