[@lebakas8]

We need more of these!

[@Keeesemonster]

I love that he put himself in the game haha

[@TheEel228]

He deserved it! he did a great job nice choice of Lightbringer Tier Very nice. And he looks Stoic.

[@Lesterberne]

That was AWESOME!

[@MastaSensi]

I cannot imagine the hours you guys poured into this expansion. But it has by far some of the coolest art and best sound design. Keep it up!

[@russcargill8498]

This really provides more insight to how difficult expansions are, even beyond balancing. I now have a greater appreciation for art. VERY well done Blizzard!!!

[@thealmightymr.hotdog7728]

Ender Man exactly I was so exited and so surprised when they released it Dec. 7 I was expecting if after Dec. 15

[@-_-loorak8266]

Phrase for ALuneth: "it's always high noon somewhere in the world, Mage"

[@Eratormortimer]

Oh McCree is Aluneth? Cool didn't notice that!

[@russcargill8498]

Me neither! just love Matt Mercer in general. I especially know him from voicing McCree, and he's always done a spectacular job with that and every other voice he's taken.

[@Enso.]

Also, he “WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!” (Yes, really)

[@TheEel228]

My Mage's Arcane Artifact is Mcree. WHAT EVEN IS LIFE?

[@sallytrengrove9015]

Yeah he’s rexxar aswell

[@BiggySn1p3r]

If you like amazing voice actors playing d&d, you should watch Critical Role. McCree from Overwatch, Nadine from Uncharted, Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist, Illidan from WoW, Ellie from The Last of Us. It's a star studded group.

[@ruthruth826]

2:50 oh my god mccree is a murloc!!

[@ThatPunchKid]

Matthew Mercer bae

[@deathbywarcraft1157]

ThatPunchKid Get back to making videos slave

[@Prosatannos]

[@DaniTurbolobo]

Kreygasm

[@Craftato]

I can't even believe he sung the intro.

[@indranura123]

The Inkeeper Voice its amazing

[@vladbur04]

Indra Nur A ikr ... id buy him :)))

[@vladbur04]

Lee ッ :))))

[@tribananas]

Oh my lord what an awesome behind the scenes video! Kobolds and Catacombs is my favorite set and I love seeing voice actors talk about the games and characters they work on! And the art in this set is the best!!

[@cptcrouton3003]

Love these behind the scenes. Show us that so much work has to be done to make good games. Something we tend to forget as gamers.

[@bobbill3025]

stfu they get hearthstone $$$ not to mention Hearthstone was made by a team of less than 20 people.

[@YumYum820]

Cocomad D This is why I don't complain about the Pay to Win aspect. So much work and heart

[@enzowillems5431]

Cocomad D I was just about to say the same but then I saw your reaction haha.

[@TheMADmac86]

Seeing voice actors emitting all those incredible sounds and changing accents is just incredible. Also, the interviews with other artists and showing some nice touches like the Lone Champion - it's just awesome! Make more videos like these :)

[@TheParallaxian]

All those gifted voice actors and actresses, quite funny watching them work

[@Brawl-sk5pv]

Really great to see there are a bunch of really passionate artists behind the game. It counters their greedy monetisation side of corporate blizzard

[@theresidentone]

Kappa

[@j4kfr05t5]

Every Vader has his Luke.

[@princerinotaldaramerinokri9314]

Aluneth is McCree. Impressive.

[@Droxal]

Awesome video. It's interesting to see all the work that went into the creative side of the set.

[@LoseAlotLuke]

Makes you appreciate how complicated and talented the artists are and their work

[@sansnom5269]

02:50 Wish I knew how to do it.

[@shaww2075]

You can take Kobold's honour , but you can't take his candle.

[@Toxicflu]

A huge props to the art team and the sound team. Wow you guys have really been top notch for this expansion. keep up the great work!

[@keb6004]

The voice acting was the coolest part

[@MachinesProductions]

Please, please, please make this a regular thing for expansions! What an awesome insight into the design process! Such a great video.

[@skykingusa]

Great! I love seeing the voice actors work and hearing their interviews.

[@JustinRuta]

I love the behind the scenes stuff, the voice acting warms my heart, a bunch off adults acting like monsters for a professional and enjoyable product.

[@abouttime837]

this expansion rekindled my love for hearthstone. every expansion is made with so much care, love, and attention. Thank you Hearthstone team! ❤️

[@warrentaylor1348]

This is the kind of content I would LOVE to see more of from Blizzard. Keep rockin' this stuff out guys, we love what y'all are doin'.

[@ImaginaryMdA]

Anyone has to acknowledge that the art is stellar on this. Just absolutely amazing!

[@hiimdarkfantom4697]

I hope the next expansion will be about the iron horde or pandaria

[@fuzzypockets]

That designer who put his own likeness into the card art! So cool :) Thought it was awesome to have a character with the latest Paladin tier set on a card, and now I also recognize the face :)

[@KingKurlz]

This was fantastic! Particularly enjoyed seeing the voice actors.

[@-szonja609]

More video like this!!!!!!!!

[@brog4037]

Its so good to know that ben brode isn't the only one working on hearthstone. But still this is the small indie company we are talking about

[@TheForhekset]

The dungeon run was the best singleplayer mode they've ever added, I hope they add more dungeon run like challenges in the next expansion.

[@XoIoRouge]

Great video. Awesome job team. I would have loved this video even more BEFORE Kobolds and Catacombs was fully revealed. This would be the FIRST Spoiler into the set. Like this would have the artists talking about their designs saying the card name and showing the artwork "Lone Champion" and "Carnivourous Cube" but we would have no clue what it does. SHOWING US THE ART For Spellstones and Legendary weapons, but not telling us what class their in or what they do. And when Hadidjah Chamberlin was talking about shuffling both decks together, they wouldn't tell us how or why. Voice Actors in character saying things and showing art for the cards but not what the card does. Like we would hear Matt Mercy say his line at 3:11 but not know he was speaking for the Weapon Aluneth. And we would hear Kimberly Brooks personify the Spiteful Summoner along with the card's art (4:05), but have no clue what it does. This would give us absolutely no mechanic insight into the set but it would GREATLY improve my hype for new cards. I would have LOVED to hear this before everything was spoiled, and then all the speculations and rumors people would think of and create about Lone Champion, Carnivorous Cube, The various voicelines, and the "Shuffle the decks together?!" That would have sold out really well to release this video prior to KaC's spoiler season.

[@kimserne]

Thank you so much Blizzard for the Dungeon Run feature, it is one of the best thing you've ever made. Mainly because of the replayability!

[@GambitVil]

Thanks all of these great team for this work!! You guys amazing!

[@magnusdalbge3373]

You should really do more of this stuff, it is simply said amazing!!

[@bartoszotreba7941]

After seeing this video I will apriciate the work of these people even more! Just imagining how many hours people spend on making all of this... amazing!

[@Scharbil]

Even when Ben Brode has become the "team's face" I love to see whole team feels about the project. It's not the same look a credits screen instead the people what do all this work. Thank you for share this. I want more about this, maybe each week.

[@baxter1910]

so nice to see the faces behind the cards!

[@devill9529]

Amazing! I love seeing the work behind the expansion , just so interesting

[@AtrociousNightmare]

[@ollie_r8162]

I want to become a voice actor now, lmao awesome video guys.

[@TheHunterDemon]

I'll literally watch ANYTHING with Matt Mercer in it. The guy is a geek god. We should announce him as our official Ambassador to the world.

[@rocksrahul8264]

Appreciate the hard work

[@jarnovanherreweghe218]

Is the actor that sings the intro the voice of mcree?

[@Thorsboyz3]
