I love the flavour of Gnomelia being her flying a plane into the enemy minions being the cleave effect and blowing it up as the deathrattle.

Little awkward that the card isn't a Mech. I know the card is named after her but the Mech is doing all the work here.

BGH tradeable is massive

Bgh is still absolutely overcosted for the effect in modern HS. The location destroyer guy also cost 4 mana, had more useful effect and still saw absolutely no play. Even at 3 mana, BGH would propably be too slow

[@stonechad_squirtle]

literally just finished watching your video announcing the core set, perfect timing

[@dannya8614]

Ditto :)

[@filipvadas7602]

They got rid of SO MANY Rune requirements for DK. Rainbow DK in particular now has an *enormous* tool box, especially since cards like Soulstealer can be discovered again. But I'm kinda mad at the Frostmourne "buff". All they needed to do was give it a *"Your Hero is immune while attacking"* effect, instead they arguibly made the card worse since the whole point is to kill big minions with it, which is harder now with its lower Attack. 2. The buffs/updates to older cards are very suprising tbh: Twisting Nether getting rid of Locations now too is wild! Classic Ysera giving you 2 Dream Cards per activation of her effect is actually really cool And the Elusive replacing "Cannot be targeted by Spells and Hero Powers" keyword definetly helps cut down on the card text

[@fuscello]

finally elusive is a keyword

[@alamand4769]

I haven't even played against it and I'm already hoping they ban Footman from arena, immune while attacking cards have never worked out in that format.

[@JamesCastle-vd1lc]

MC tech looks absolutely insane

[@bllllood]

useless vs control XD...only gonna work vs aggro they made a bad card worse than b4 XD....most good players tend to not commit more than 3 high cost minions on board..might work vs big priest but..meh..not sold on that 1...i'd rather use transform opponent minion into garbage so they can't rez anything big...a better redesign would of been to change it to "if your opponent control 3 or more minion take control of 1".....and i would made the card at least 4 mana because thats still pretty rough to play alternatively...leave it at 3 mana....leave it at picking 1 random minion but reduce requirement to 3 insteadof 4.......option 2.........reduce cost to 2 mana,..reduce stats to 3/2....still require 4 targets or more...make it a 50% chance to get the desired minion with nother 50% chance to pick 1 at random(simlar to how ogers work)

[@tsp00n3000]

Barak is back? Thanks Kodobamna.

[@Urankeksbaecker]

I'm really sceptical of their decision to replace strength totem with spell damage totem, especially with Spirit Claws in standard. I remember how swingy those matches against aggro shaman felt, depending on whether they got spell damage or not.

[@Begeru]

I agree. Strength totem is just overall way more consistent. Air totem is sometimes completely useless.

[@piggy8761]

Wtf the strength totem is leaving? That hurts even shaman in wild wtf

[@JakubTatai]

When does the current year end and do things rotate away? Does the battle pass end at the same time?

so happy to discover soulstealer again

[@kristophercornwell5825]

Hell yeah, so many cards im happy to see hitting Standard. Priest is gonna hate Rogue having access to Flik. Really wanted that, happy to see it. Quite enjoyed Siamat back in the day, and while it may not be busted, might try and include him in Highlander Warrior. Just to get all 4 keywords. Super satisying.

[@ShadyBoy_]

The new cards are from Warcraft Rumble

[@LikeVenom18]

[@Flammiedrum]

Great video Zeddy, you're the best buds.

[@starmannnnn]

very cool druid changes. Thanks Zeddy!

[@AARon11414]

Southsea Deckhand is ALSO in this set. If Aggro Rogue is the best rogue deck, Token Druid is bad, Handlock is back, Secret Hunter is meta, Shaman goes Elemental, and Mage gets some big spell support, isn’t it just KOTFT meta? My all time favorite decks are Secret-Deathstalker Rexxar, Handlock (also Cubelock), Conjuror’s Calling Mage, and Togwaggle Druid. (Shoutouts to Battlecry Evolve Shaman with Bru’Kan though low-key honorable mention). Some of these will be back to some extent, and I’m kinda stoked about it.

[@fefino1411]

Great changes and additions all around, but still not a word about wild. That’s upsetting.

[@jessecorel1910]

Shadowstep not moving to wild yet makes sense because festival of legends is still in rotation for another year and most rogue cards from that set are built around bounce mechanics. That said i really would've liked to see one of the zero mana rogue cards(shadowstep or backstab) be rotated out for Counterfeit Coin, especially with Wishing Well and the other coin synergy cards still in rotation this year.

[@lollocada]

Should I disenchant all the cards that will come in the new core set or do I automatically get the dust?

[@ivanmartinez498]

ring able to discover soulstealer is huge for rainbow. seems like they really want to make rainbow DK the best deathknight deck to run

if you disenchant those legendaries now, then you’ll need to recraft them if they leave the Core set

[@davidludvigsen4667]

What happens to the cards that rotate? Can you play them in wild or do you need to own them? If so what about the ones that are not in any previous set?

[@tarille1043]

Any card that is leaving the core set will need to be crafted to be played in Wild.

[@hectorkings4718]

What cards should be disenchanted with this upcoming change? Like, we get refunded or can basically get some cards for free with rotation right?

[@tarille1043]

All cards that are in the new core set can be safely disenchanted as they will be available for free while they're in core. Of course, this only holds true for as long as they're in core, if they leave and you want to play them in Wild you'd need to keep them (Or recraft them)

[@danfr444]

usually you get all core set cards for free but whether thats the same idk. Usually though it'd mean you should disenchant all cards that are gonna be in the core set rn

[@burgerandy2729]

If you’re asking if cards from rotating expansions refund 100% of dust, no it’s best to just keep the cards that rotated out and have some wild decks. Plus you never know if a card end up being problematic in wild and then you do end up getting a full refund for that one card

[@Akatsukix3x]

The cards they stay i can dust them right ? Bc we get them for free ?

[@thebigdgamerboi9586]

Aaaaand Renathal? Pls tell me he will be in the Core Set!

[@tarille1043]

They seem to be pushing Rainbow DK more. Lowered rune requirements mean cards are playable in Rainbow (The 2 discovers), the cards can be discovered (Soulstealer) and there's less impact for going triple rune. Also this seems to suggest there's going to be a new Frost discover card if the Unholy and Blood ones are staying. Presumably, it's going to be a new 1F minion? So it's similar to the other 2 and can't be discovered from various "Discover a spell" effects. Though, sad that Patchwerk is leaving... One of the only ways a slower DK deck can even compete against Odyn Warrior... Maybe we get Death Grip instead? 2 mana steal a minion 😈

[@natcole5981]

My main concern in twist is will all cards be in their post nerf/revert form or will the formats be implemeted as is? Some classes have had major reworks to card fundamentals. Will rotations happen every 3 days? Does mind blast ever get banned? Theres so many diffucult obstacles and changes to the game over years, that i see this twist format going down like a led zeppellin. Im prepared for a huge lack of balance, but at least it wont be stale. I just know they didnt playtest this or put the required resources into planning and its gonna feel like another slap in the face.

[@essurio]

Handlock my beloved!

[@Grimfang999]

Druid main, losing Nourish hurts. A lot. It's THE staple druid card, offering so much flexibility and utility in ramp and resource management, and I fear that, without it, slower druid decks will struggle.

[@stefangeorgiev5418]

Hi guys, rotation is new to me can you please tell me if I should disenchant the cards like corpse explosion for exemple because my logic is once they are core they will be given for free and will lose their disenchant value or they we will e able to disenchant the cards of their full price once the expansion is in?

[@locogato3488]

The non-Core versions of these cards will exist in Wild and will be disenchantable.

[@DiamondCake2]

The free ones won’t overwrite the ones you own so don’t worry. You’ll still be able to disenchant them.

[@tarille1043]

How it works when you own cards that become part of the core set is you end up with 2 versions. You keep your original version which you can search for specifically and can be disenchanted like normal (You don't get a full refund, so you only get 100 dust for an epic for example). But you also get the new core set version which will be free and not disenchantable.
