Why are they keeping adding effects and mechanics that summons minions but doesn't trigger Battlecry, while at the same time, more Battlecry minions with worse and worse stats? Almost feel like they are trolling the players. And yet the equivalent effects are done much better in Yu-gi-oh and MTG long before HS.

If you dont wanna waste your battlecry with those effects and mechanics, build your deck around deathrattle minions. By the way, battlecry is the most powerful effect in the game because there is nothing that your opponent can do about it, while deathrattle minions can be silenced, stolen etc. then you can understand why they receive less stats than other minions, their jobs are done at the moment they hit the board.

There's just a little misspelling, it currently says "Rin, the First Discipline" not Disciple.

4. Dungeon Run

Dungeon runs are a new game mode in which, you will start with a small deck of your choice and battle through 8 increasingly encounters (out of 48 possible). 

 

I think you mean to say increasingly 'difficult' encounters. 

 

Also, love the coverage great job, this expansion will be awesome!

Thanks for pointing this out! This should be fixed soon.

We are getting closer to the release and I'm still not sure to pre-purchase or not.

Maybe some of you who are like me with HS have a suggestion. I am ok with spending a bit money here and there for a game I enjoy but I wouldn't sell my house and mother for it :D and I don't want to waste money or regret spending it. I am interested in other players' opinion too but if you are a consequent F2P player or someone who doesn't care about money at all your opinion might not matter that much ;). Xou might still have an objective opinion though.

As I see it K&C has definitely a few nice cards but also a lot of hard rubbish, too. Of course we (I) may underestimate some cards, that happens with every new expansion, I guess, but currently it feels like I can get the cards I want from the free packs granted and crafting the rest. But then is this, I don't want to regret not getting the pre-purchase :D

So how are you doing it?

  • Do you pre-purchse (or already did) and hoping it will be (was) a good choice?
  • or are you confident about K&C and say it's worth to pre-purchase?
  • or are you still undecided like me? :D
  • or would you suggest to save my money?

Would be nice if you include your average pay behavior ("I'm F2P" or "I just buy a lot and everything" or something that's in between those two) in your answer. Thanks. :)

I am F2P, the only thing I bought was the welcome-package for 5 Euro.

Personally, I'd never spent around 1 euro / 1 pack. Way too expensvive IMO.

Nevertheless I can't say what you should do - personally I will never spent this much for a pack. But on the other hand I don't get that much dust and I'll never be able to have 3 or 4 different Tier 1/2 decks.

If it is more important to you to have several decks then buying now seems way more sensible then paying even more later.

I was planning to pre-purchase at the beginning, but then as cards are revealed, I gave up, because most of the cards suck so badly and the good ones are from the classes I will not play anyways, like priest. 

There was a point where I was thinking of preordering to be honest, after seeing new warlock and rogue cards (also a big collection never hurts) but then, I've looked at the cards and realized that, I want like 10 of the new cards so far and I will open 30 packs anyways. I also have enough dust to craft 2 legendaries. 

If things do not end up as anticipated, I can always buy packs later.

Just so you know, I only bought 3×15 packs for KFT and I am missing 35 cards(out of 247)

All in all, you should wait for todays reveals, then decide whether to preorder or not but I don't think K&C is good enough to gamble on playability of cards.

I will definitely do that.

Thank you both for your suggestions, maybe I will end up flipping a coin if I can't decide :D

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.

      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:

      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.
