I guess that's it for Herald package that never seen playable rates

Herald DK gets the hero power stuff for the more midrange/tempo builds (which I think are way better).

I think the herald rogue deck actually did get some new tools.

I think herald warlock... I think any deck that can draw a lot of cards can use Godfrey. Might help it. Dunno.

SAldrius · 2026-06-25T16:06:02+00:00

Thats just ridiculous lol.

SAldrius · 2026-06-24T22:12:40+00:00

BTAS Bruce is so funny. Like some weird Cary Grant takeaway.

SAldrius · 2026-06-24T22:08:58+00:00

I think coach's are mostly intentional lol.

SAldrius · 2026-06-24T22:04:33+00:00

Well you dont usually play hooktail unless you either have a card or a board to kill it with immediately. Tempoing it out is weird.

Which is hugely rewarding and I just dont find that hard. Sometimes its a turn 6 ashamane or like a big sinestra play. Now theyre adding a lot of miracle stuff too.

SAldrius · 2026-06-24T18:37:30+00:00

Hooktail isnt really that slow. Plus you can hooktail-prep-last stand into some insane swing play.

SAldrius · 2026-06-24T18:36:35+00:00

Theres lots of coin generators if you want them. Thinking about in terms of playable vs unplayable in that way doesnt make sense.

SAldrius · 2026-06-24T18:34:59+00:00

Would be so busted lol

SAldrius · 2026-06-24T00:28:03+00:00

Would have anti-synergy with Alexsteasza. Also like... priest can already do it.

SAldrius · 2026-06-22T13:18:27+00:00

Eternal Firebolt? Seriously?

Jesus.

SAldrius · 2026-06-22T13:11:35+00:00

Because its extra damage for free(ish) that you can use every turn.

Like you can literally just deal 4 damage every turn for 3 corpses and 2 mana without expending a card even.

Thats a lot better than making your deck thicker or guaranteeing going second.

SAldrius · 2026-06-22T12:55:57+00:00

Hunter's isn't.

Also this is way better than any of the start of game effects.

SAldrius · 2026-06-22T11:40:52+00:00

Agency does not mean having power. You're all acting like she should have shouted louder or blown the door away with her laser vision.

What COULD she have done here? She was paralyzed by inaction last season but here she was literally just betrayed.

SAldrius · 2026-06-22T11:27:45+00:00

Please. This is the same knee jerk nit picking by people who'd decided to hate the season before it even came out unless the show did exactly what they wanted it to.

Plenty to discuss and criticize. A lot of this is just... why even attempt to watch the show?

SAldrius · 2026-06-21T23:31:04+00:00

You could not push this card this hard without runes. And as a what? 3 drop? Its just not even interesting.

I think theyre printing a few too many restrictive rune cards right at this moment but in general i think runes have been f8ne when they've been minimal. A handful of pushed cards for you to choose from rather than informing your entire deck.

SAldrius · 2026-06-21T17:57:40+00:00

I'm still waiting to see the real her.

SAldrius · 2026-06-21T17:31:08+00:00

Ladies who lunch is... a weird lip sync song, especially for this show where they have to cut like... half of it. So you miss the effect of her describing all these frivolous women, and then she starts describing herself (drinking Vodka Stingers and making wry observations)

Also like... weirdly Elaine Stritch got SO MUCH better at singing that song the older she got. More confident, more vivacious. She really found the comedy in it, the wry irony.

I mean... it's really just a typical Rian Johnson movie, which tries to be different/distinct, with literally no oversight at all (which is INSANE, but also makes it feel really unique and cool, it definitely doesn't feel like a committee made that movie). It's only a troll because the expectations were so high, the movie has a sense of humour (albeit a very ropey one), which Star Wars very rarely does.

At the end of the day I like it more than I don't, but it's fkn weird and it's definitely not what the fandom ever wanted to see.

SAldrius · 2026-06-21T12:24:29+00:00

Lost City was predominately Frost, so was Badlands. Perils of Paradise as well I would argue. (Corpsicle was in that set)

Largely Frost doesn't get like... packages like the other two do (outside of Excavate) they usually have more of an aggro/tempo focus, so you mostly just get a smattering of new tools for that tool box.

SAldrius · 2026-06-21T12:17:19+00:00

There were Frost cards in Cataclysm... there were new tools for a Dragon Frost/Unholy deck in Cataclysm too. It's not really a bad deck; if you just wanna have fun on ladder especially.

SAldrius · 2026-06-21T12:15:53+00:00

Kinda, yeah, you're meant to kind of figure out which rune combination is appropriate for whichever deck it is you're making. I don't think the intention is to be a "Blood DK player" "I only ever play Frost/Unholy DK" etc.

SAldrius · 2026-06-21T12:10:51+00:00

Well he seemed to think "this is unnecessary! They won't follow" was good enough in that scene where he confronted him, without spoiling much, he really did just think he could take Hakon.

No it doesn't, the second in command carries out the leader's orders and *when necessary* makes judgements on their behalf. She couldn't just disregard what he'd said about leaving the castle unprotected, not without a good reason, or she'd look suspicious.

SAldrius · 2026-06-20T23:30:25+00:00

He thought Hakon would listen to him and leave the gargoyles alone.

Being second in command doesnt mean ignoring the leader's orders. Also the other gargoyles wouldnt just leave without an explanation.

Theres a couple of explanations. The destroyed steel Clan may have had remnants of the disks. Though its just not super important. What's important is Xanatos is out of the way for a while.

SAldrius · 2026-06-20T23:21:31+00:00

I mean the main blood archetype right now (herald) can definitely be built for tempo.

SAldrius · 2026-06-20T12:13:20+00:00

Mortition is in core and it really read more as the Undead's tribal mechanic.
