[@eyeareayoutubizatify]

Fun fact: way back before the official release of Hearthstone, Twilight Drake was a 1/1 and its Battlecry gave it stats equal to you're hand size. This means Dark Alley Pact is basically the return of original Twilight Drake but with a few slight differences. 1. It's a spell. 2. The stats are permanent and not a buff. 3. It's a demon instead of a dragon. 4. This presumably can't be played if you have no other cards in hand while the dragon could. 5. Twilight Drake got an extra +1/+1 campared to this due to its starting stats. Honestly, I just think it's neat that an old version of a card made it back into the game, sort of, and that the thumbnail art is more on point than I intitially thought.

[@menpower1]

It's also symbolic of the massive power creep in HS. Twilight Drake was nerfed to a 4/x, where x worked the way you described. Also, since its stats were a buff, it was vulnerable to silence and many people played owl or silencer to counter it; Dark Alley Pact is in most situations more powerful than pre-nerfed Twilight Drake. Yet, a 4 mana 8/8 (similar to old handlock's mountain giants) is nowadays just one of the many powerful cards in competitive decks. There is no need to play specific counters like Big Game Hunter or silence against them.

[@joaocaju3061]

coin anetheron is much better

[@saki3457]

@@commonpepe2270 that doesn't work. Coin mountain giant means you gain a mana from coin but mountain giant costs 1 more because its cost is reduced by cards in hand, basically wasting the coin. Similarly the new gnoll works the same. Coin anetherion doesn't work because anetherion costs 6 from 1 if you use coin, wasting coin without body. I believe that would be called a self concede play, but coin mountain or gnoll is not the worst play out there that it costs you the game

[@mochimochi4179]

I don't think scabbs was all show no substance, its just that people opted for kazakus over running some more 4s. Miracle rogue has been a hard sell for me since they nerfed pen flinger, but before then scabbs was a very strong deck in my personal version and I wasn't seeing consistent enough cases where I felt "dang I wish I'd ran a 4 drop that gets me a stronger drop *later*"

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

@@mochimochi4179 nowadays we have really good statistics to tell us what’s good and what’s not. It just wasn’t a good card man, sleeper archetypes don’t exist anymore

[@mochimochi4179]

@@Emperorhirohito19272 sleeper archetypes like fish'n'chips/ramp paladin? Not every card or deck takes off immediately after launch, because a card is only as strong as there is a place for it. Scabbs is a tempo card and rogues aren't gunning for the early tempo advantage scabbs can provide at the moment. However scabbs would've been a natural fit in some older variants of tempo rogue, and all we need are some cards like those to tip the scales towards aggressive swing turns over a "delayed" tempo play like kazakus. As a side note, rogue isn't very interested in the 4-slot at the moment which makes it a direct confrontation between scabbs and kazakus, rather than scabbs + other 4-mana cards vs kazakus. There's no guarantee that rogue will get "must-play" 4-mana cards in the next 2 years but I think it's pretty reasonable to assume it'll happen, and when it does scabbs can slide right in

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

[@kluasvt828]

I’m curious. Do you guys like that Streamers get to play the X-pac before the release? It’s good marketing, they help testing out decks for people who wants to jump right in on expansion day, but for me, it takes away some of the most fun; first expansion day. Everything is chaos, people play all types of decks etc. It also makes it less interesting for me personally, since now I have already seen them play for days. I just wonder how you guys feel about it

[@charly1711]

I think is good if you can't have all the cards at launch. You get to see some meme decks (like the terrible quest rogue) in a less serious meta, and then craft the actual good cards after two weeks or so.

[@kluasvt828]

Yeah but I meant, is it good streamers get to play with it a week before the rest?

[@chaisemaurice8150]

I'm definitely against it. I think the theory crafting day one of an expansion is the most fun Hearthstone can offer, but now all the decks are decided and play tested before release day. Think of it this way. Kripparrian, for example, barely plays standard for more than a couple hours before heading back to BG's, cause he's already had the experience day one used to offer.

[@TheMirksta]

Personally I don't like it at all, the advertisement aspect is good but it seems weird showing power levels for decks early, might make some people less likely to buy packs if the cards seem unimpressive. Must work for them or else they wouldn't do it though.

[@Kotoy1]

People in here talking like the meta dosnt take form in the first week anyway lmao. I assure you there is much less theorycrafting in the first days than you think, and not everyone has the dust to spare on that.

[@Xgya2000]

I think there's enough room in the deck to put the new Quest and the new Handlock stuff in at once, perhaps moving away from the Souls. You're encouraged to draw faster, the best current Warlock draw deals damage to your own face. You do end up losing a card on turn 1, and that might pose a problem for part of your tempo plays, but you eventually profit from all that draw by making the enemy take your fatigue damage for you. I'd probably remove part of the Souls package to get there.
