Hearthstone 5: Nothing Venture Co.'d, Nothing Gained.

[Legoshrimp]

Thank you, just tell me when you are ready.

Alright I am on (legoshrimp#1722)

Is the second Mountain Giant really worth it though?

Of course. As I said, they're part of the core of the deck. The Giants are that deck's muscle, and it thrives on having more of such a huge threats than most decks have answers to them, plus on them being able to come out earlier and cheaper than in other decks.

[Legoshrimp]

Just beat Hamste 2-1 with the last game being reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly close.

[Hamste]

Lost 1-2 to legoshrimp. Someone else want to play I need one last match.

[Zevox]

Gotta say, I really like the Black Temple card backs. Green is my favourite colour.

Honestly, I like the design in every respect except for the color myself. Which means I still won't be using it.

Next season's one however......urgghhhhhhh

What's next season's one? They aren't showing it in the launcher yet.

Click "News" in the battle.net launcher, and it was the top story (EU servers, but can't believe it would be different.)

I'll try and grab a screenshot momentarily

EDIT: Aster beat me to it

[Rosstin]

I'd use it.

[Zevox]

[image snipped for space]

I'd use it.

Ooo, nice. Yeah, that one I think I would actually use, barring the off chance I get to legend (in which case I'd always use the legend back, because it signifies an actual accomplishment).

[The Glyphstone]

Bleh. I'll still collect it, but Black Temple is my favorite back so far.

[AmberVael]

Bleh. I'll still collect it, but Black Temple is my favorite back so far.

Agreed. This new one is looking a bit too... pastel for my tastes. Clouds and rainbows and ribbons is also just too cutesy.

[FyreByrd]

This.

Also it has cyan on it...brrrr horrible!

[Zevox]

For me, it reminds me of my favorite My Little Pony character, Rainbow Dash. And I like that it's brighter and more colorful than the new one, which I think is too dark and dull to look at because of the color. The ribbons colored as a starlit night sky are also a very nice touch.

[AgentPaper]

Diablo theme confirmed for next expansion pack.

[ShinyRocks]

Oh, that card back is adorable! I'll be using it all the time.

I look forward to using it with Warlock, for the incongruity.

[FyreByrd]

. And I like that it's brighter and more colorful than the new one, which I think is too dark and dull to look at because of the color.

See that was my main problem with the current one, I really liked it but if the green had just been a shade or two darker it would have been amazing.

Different strokes and all that.

[Nerocite]

I'd use it.

Worst one so far. I'll stick with Launch.

[Destro_Yersul]

I really like Black Temple, so I'll probably stick with that one until something I like better comes along.

[Rosstin]

Nooo the tie of twos!

Unless something changes soon, we might have a 7-person semifinal.

We've still got a week, and only five of us have actually finished all five matches. I don't think we need to worry about such a thing just yet.

[Hamste]

I just need one more win and I break the tie. I still have one game left.

Yeah, I think the new look works. Not for everyone, but it looks fine for me. If there's a new card back every month, I'm certain that most people will hate some.

I really like Black Temple, so I'll probably stick with that one until something I like better comes along.

Yeah, this months' card backs are nifty.

[Hippie_Viking]

We might be able to move into the tournament semifinals early if people do their matches. DarthMario, Theo, you're the ones who currently have the best shot of making it into the Semis. HippieViking, are you still interested? Were you able to get your deck together?

Yes I am still in and should be having enough dust soon:) I have finals the 4th but after that I should be able to get the matches done:)

New cards:

Spoiler: silliness

Show

[Zevox]

New cards:

...are those real, or a joke? I can't seem to find a source for them via google, and they don't fit with the theme of the expansion. The Bronze Drake in particular just doesn't seem real - it's extremely gimmicky, and you'd have to be using a stopwatch or something on every one of your opponent's turns to have better than a vague idea how much damage its battlecry will do. Plus the font on the Murloc's effect text seems off, and the Drake lacks the "Dragon" type for some reason - or a background to its image.

[Boci]

Also bronze drake is a bit weak. Nightblade does a fixed 3 damage, and is a 4/4 for the same amana cost. Losing 2 points worth of stats and changing the damage from 0-6 does not seem like a worthwhile trade, and nightblade is already subpar.

Also its probably fake, which may be the more important part. The Murloc on the other hand seems legit. It may too be fake, but I wouldn't be surprised if such a card did appear.

The heck am I looking at?

Also, could you actually answer the question please?

Nightblade also hits the hero only, whereas the Bronze Drake there does not say that, so it probably can hit minions as well. Still, as I said, doesn't seem real.

[Rosstin]

<- isn't obvious troll obvious?

(Yes, they're fake!)

[Math_Mage]

The Murloc one was the more unbelievable to me. Nobody, and I mean nobody, could possibly think that card would be a good addition to the meta.
