Wickedgood - I played Commander!
Magesa - I’ve been taking a bit of a break – here’s a good place to briefly address fatigue from constant balance, even when your deck remains good (for now) – but Zarimi Priest still works (except for my second heroic brawl, fml). And I have more things I want to try!
News Highlights -
- The sign-up sheet will be up Monday or Tuesday, and the series will begin on Monday May 20th!

Decksplanations
We’re still waiting on DK and Warlock cards (which are being revealed Saturday, which is tomorrow as we record this), but nevertheless, it is time for card superlatives!
First, clarifications to how cards work that we thought you might want to know (all confirmed with Hat):
- The new pack cards are modeled after Elise Un’Goro packs and draw from a specific subset of cards (source: Cora). They follow actual regular card pack rarity rules, so mostly commons and at least one rare or better.
- Return Policy triggers the deathrattle of the newly discovered card you've just added to your hand, not the original card (so for example, if you play Glaivetar, play 4 outcast cards, then while it's still equipped play Return Policy and pick Glaivetar, you'll only draw 1 card, not 5).
- Sock Puppet Slitherspear does not include weapon attack, and it is only your hero's current attack (so it resets at the end of the turn).
- Pro Gamer works like a suspicious card: you pick right away, your opponent picks at the start of their turn, and then the effect resolves. Nothing happens on a tie.
- Darkmoon Magician respects valid or invalid targeting, just like any random spell effect. For example, as it is elusive, it won't target itself (which makes the card a lot better!). That’s how this has always worked and has nothing to do with the “forced recast” change that recently happened (which applied only to 4 cards: conductivity, kotori lightblade, spirit of the dragonhawk, and zentimo).
- Wave of Nostalgia only affects the board, unlike the Azerite Murloc! "ALL" is just pointing out that it hits both your minions on the board and your opponent's minions on the board.
Card you can’t wait to play with:
- Magesa: Rocket Hopper (or secret hunter, if someone else wants a shaman card)
- Last time: Shudderblock (also Tarim)
- Edelweiss: Murloc Growfin
- Last time: Sonya Waterdancer
- WickedGood: Funhouse Mirror
- Last time: Timewinder Zarimi
Card you’re scared of:
- WickedGood: Return Policy
- Last time: Sky Mother Aviana
- Magesa: Puppetmaster Dorian (but also I can’t wait to play it)
- Last time: Death Knight, as represented by Zombietank
Card you want to be good but isn’t:
- Last time: Raza as a combo card
- Edelweiss: Replicator-inator
- WickedGood: Puppet Theater
Card you think is over/underrated:
- WickedGood: Malfunction (under)
- Last time: Darkthorn Quilter (under)
- Edelweiss: Safety Expert (under)
- Last time: Origami cards (under)
- Magesa: Overgrown Beanstalk (under) (or else Flickering Lightbot, under)
Card you don’t understand:
- Magesa: Wave of Nostalgia (I mean I do get it, but also I don’t get it)
- Last time: Wind-up Musician
- Edelweiss: Darkmoon Magician
- Last time: Puzzlemaster Khadgar (kinda mage in general)
- WickedGood: Whack-a-Gnoll
