+talha tariq Most c'thun related cards will. It's arguable how competetive these decks will be, but they will definitly be around. A lot. Because everyone wil have C'thun.
It was confirmed in the livestream Kripp as an FYI that with Fandral Staghelm Druid of the claw and flame will be a 4/6 taunt with charge and a 5/5 respectively. They made separate art for those cards too which should be cool!
+Skipperino Kripperino dont these long content vids without stream clips make you salty? when do you think the senpai will notice you? within the year?
Just for clarification: Unlike what the Kripp says in the video, Forbidden Ancient has no synergy with Brann. Brann would just run the battlecry again, which would spend all your 0 mana and make it gain an additional +0/+0. Even Kripp The Great can make mistakes.
+ChrisCarTheMarauder Don't see how. The battlecry says "Spend all your Mana." You spend it all the first time, and when Brann triggers it again, you have 0 mana to spend.
***** You're right, it should remain shitty and never see play and get no synergy for the primary card for battlecry minions. You're like the guy who nerfed Blade Flurry.
Regarding Fandral's Choose one effects with transformed minions, Ben Brode stated in a livestream that there is now a 3rd transformation that combines the effects/stats of both transformed minions. E.G. Druid of the claw turns into a 4/6 taunt with charge, Druid of the flame turns into a 5/5 etc.
as they said the transfrom card will have a new, third, form so yes druid of the flame is 5/5, druid of the claw will be 4/6 taunt and charge, acient of war will be 10/10 taunt etc... basically you get all the best aspects of each transformation
+MagmaRagerino Kripperino will use the burned rager in a hobgoblin deck, ask ben brode for a 3 mana minion that increase the health of 1 life minion by 2.
There's a reason I usually mainly stick with Kripp evaluating the cards over anyone else. He really truly analyzes the cards not only situationally but with its interactions with other cards, both with mechanics I never thought of myself. There's been countless cards with this set that I initially though we're underwhelming until Kripp brings up situations and reasons why in fact a lot of these are strong. Good Stuff Kripp
12:50 "In arena, you can't go wrong with weapons" -Kripp 2016 How good is cursed blade ? (December 27 2015) "Cursed blade is this awful AWFUL card..." - Kripp 2015 Seems like you forgot somthing there Kripp, Kappa
The tools Shamans got in TGT are insane, Aggro shaman would be OP if it was any more consistent than it currently is. If the shaman gets the cards they want you can easily lose turn 3-4. Inconsistency keeps it in check though.
Yes, having Fandral on board and playing a Choose One card like Druid of the Flame will give you combined stats (in this case a 5/5). Ben Brode mentioned on the stream that they made a third variant card for every one of these to reflect the new forms.
If you had seen the reveal video, Ben Brode explains exactly how Fandral Staghelm works with transform minions. They have made a 3rd form that will have the advantages from both forms. 4/6 taunt "bear cat" and so on.
I mean...usually you don't need both effects(Druid of the claw), and sometimes it makes the card worse(ancient of war). So the only reasonable way to play it would be thaurissan - fandral - ancient of lore - Druid of the saber
+TheGreatRakatan halleluja, I have 3 shaman decks that I have used at one point or another and each of them will be come strictly and significantly better. This should be fun
For Staghelm it was clarified on stream that the transform minions will each be given a new third form to transform into that combines the best effects of both choices. For example, Druid of the Claw will be a 4/6 minion with both charge and taunt, Druid of the Saber will be a 3/2 minion with both charge and stealth, and Druid of the Flame will be a 5/5 minion.
This is why i prefer Kripps card reviews over any other streamer. He gives you the most thorough incite on each card without any biased opinions. Cough* ....Amaz .....Cough*
A headsup for those that didn't watch the reveal stream. Fandral Staghelm transform the choose one minions into a third form with special name and art. For example, Druid of the claw becomes a 4/6 taunt with charge. The effects happens in the order they are written so the left option happens first and then the right one.
+SkipTheSparrow ok, i'm not sure what you wrote qualifies as an explanation. take druid of the claw. if it both gains *charge* and gains *+2 health and taunt*, it is a 4/6 taunt with charge. obviously. (same with ancient of war, a 10/10 taunt, etc.) but if druid of the flame both transforms into a 2/5 and transforms into a 5/2... that doesn't even make sense! (if it was a 2/2 and said choose one - gain 3 attack or 3 health, that would be understandable. maybe they'll change its wording.)
+theantimatter Ben himself said that it will transform into a 5\5, and will be a completely different minion. See their "Whisper of the old gods live stream" stream VOD on HS official channel.
Blizzards Balance Team: "Lets nerf Blade Flurry, as this will allow the design team to make some cool rogue weapons and weapon buffs". Blizzards Design Team: "Lets not give rogue any weapons or direct buffs this expansion, because Blade Flurry would make these over powered". Meanwhile, there was no communication between these teams.
With Fandral Staghelm the minions that transform get the stats that are best over all so Druid of the flame will be 5/5 minion, Druid of the claw will be a 4/6 with taunt, and charge and so on. This was confirmed by Ben Brode in the stream which was on 21st of April, he also said that they made new card art for when these minions get both options.
Ben Brode said on the stream that with Fandral Staghelm, a third minion is created for choose one transform effects(i.e. Druid of the flame and Druid of the Claw). So you will get a 5/5 or a 4/6 taunt charge.
“Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.” ― Sylvester Stallone, Rocky Balboa
About transform effects with the Fandral. Ben Brode said that BOTH effect will take place, and actually that there are a bunch of NEW ARTS and NEW SOUNDS for the combined effect. ALL Choose One - transform will basically now have a THIRD option that they will transform to only if Fandral is in the board. Frecking cool.
Definitely not giving Fendral enough credit. Even Raven Idol turns into draw 2. I hope Kripp gives us a more extensive review on these cards based on class and neutrals. He just misses a lot of interactions.
I haven't scrolled through the comments, so someone may have already said this, but Ben Brode on twitter (possibly on the stream) said that there is now an added 3rd transform that is a combination of the choose one cards. So DotC becomes a 4/6 charge with taunt, AoW becomes a 10/10 taunt and the 3 mana DotF becomes a 5/5. It also applies to your choose one spells as well allowing for some interesting effects with Raven Idol or the new choose one spell.
4:28 I don't think it is going to work with brann, he will activate the battlecry use ur 9 crystal and become a 10-10 then he will activate the battlecry again but u have already spent all your mana and will add 0-0
I'm sure lots of other people have posted this but just in case it was missed - Ben Brode said on stream that there are new druid forms for the cards where you 'Choose One' into a specific create. Druid of the Flame becomes a 5/5 and druid of the claw is a 4/6 with charge and taunt
For Staghelm they already said on stream that if the choose one card has a transform effect that they have made a third form which combines the two. They gave Flame as an example, as it DOES become a 5/5
+Kripparrian 1:26 Ben Brode confirmed on stream that they designed Third Forms for minions with choose one / transform effects like Druid of the Flame 13:22 Turn 1: Selfless Hero // Turn 2: Coin + Steward of Darkshire + Trade SH // Turn 3: Magma Rager // Turn 4: Double "Duskboar" and snow ball....
About that Druid Legendary... They said on stream that they have special "third" option for Choose one cards, which this card utilizes. So basically Druid of the Claw is a new 4/6 Taunt minion with charge.
After watching the video normally I had to find out what replaying it at 1.25 speed or 1.5 speed would be like, and I think is preeeeetty entertaining xD
for those wondering, the new druid legendary spawns a new minion, the flame druid does become a 5/5, druid of the claw becomes a 4/6 taunt with charge, etc.
They made an entire new set of versions (edit: I think they qualify as tokens) for "choose one" cards for when you get combined effects (with Fandral). At least that's what I understood from the stream.
I really like the fact that you went quickly most people have played enough, or watched enough, hearthstone to know if the cards are good or not. Going quickly definitely a good idea.
Fandral Staghelm: For cards like Druid of the Flame/Claw, you get the upside of both effects. Brode said in the stream that the cards use a 3rd form that gets both stat bonuses. Kripp must've missed that.
Ben Brode stated that transform minions now have a third hybrid form of their transformations, having both stats and keywords. taunt and charge, with bonus health. stealth 3/2 with charge. Or a flat 5/5. And the choose effects go in order that they are printed on the card, dealing 5 damage, then doing 2 to all. He said it during the live stream card reveal.
It'll be interesting to see "choose one" decks built around Fandral Staghelm. The dream of turn 4 Fandral, turn 5 Druid of the Claw, turn 7 Ancient of War, and starfalls for board clear. Not sure how competitive, but it'll be fun to watch the highlight clips.
Hey Kripp, as far as Fandral Staghelm (the new druid legendary) works out, Ben Brode said on stream that minions such as Druid of the Flame would have both of the "beneficial" versions combined and they would actually turn into a completely NEW, THIRD minion not otherwise selectable. So Druid of the Flame would have a new form where it is a 5/5 for 3 mana. Preeetty good!
1:27 On the reveal live stream they said about the Fandral Staghelm, that they have made a 3rd version of those "choose one" minions just because of that card :D
About 1:48, Blizzard confirmed in their reveal stream that the minions with transfrom effects will get a 3rd form for that case which combines both stat buffs, so that druid of the claw becomes a 4/6 Taunt with charge.
To those wondering about how Fandral works (kripp seems to not have heard the news), cards like Druid of the Flame and Druid of the Claw become a brand new third form. Druid of the flame is a 5-5, druid of the claw is a 4-6 with charge + taunt.
1:49 If I'm not wrong they said that for the transform minions there will be a third transformation for Fandral effect that will metch the other 2 choices it's not that noob trap or like that, I think it's similiar to brann if it is on the board thing are going to happen
Fandral Staghelm activates both Choose One effects in the order in which they are written on the text. For example, an Ancient of War would get +5 attack and then +5 HP and Taunt, effectively turning into a 10/10 with Taunt. Druids work slightly differently. For example, a Druid of the Flame would gain +3 atk and then +3 HP, turning into a 5/5. A Druid of the Claw would gain charge and then +2 HP and taunt, turning into a 4/6 Taunt + Charge. They get the best stats of each form and the abilities of each form. Even spells are affected by this. For example, Feral Rage would grant your hero +4 atk and then give +8 armor. Not to shabby!
*Hearthstone Dev greets an artist as he enters his office.* Dev: Hello! Thank you for coming. I understand you have an idea for the card "Disciple of C'Thun?" Artist: I sure do! First, I was thinking let's make this guy a Pandaren. Because, you know, Pandaren are known to be around Silithus. Dev: I like it! Anything else!? Artist: Well, I have been kicking some major ass in Mortal Kombat as Raiden. He's just so cool with lightning coming out of his hands and--- *Dev interrupts the artist.* Dev: Stop! Your idea is incredible! You need to start drawling this right away. Here, take your payment in advance, with a bonus! *With that the artist ran out of the office with hands full of cash.*
Divine Strength - "We couldn't think of anything, so we made a Magic The Gathering card." Bladed Cultist - "Coin, have two 2/3's." Flamewreathed Faceless - Turn 4 7/7, Turn 5 "have enough mana to play rockbiter and windfury, insta 20 damage"
For any wondering how Fandral interacts with Druid of the Flame and Claw: You'd get a 5/5 from Flame and a 4/6 charge taunt from Claw, as confirmed by Ben Brode during the stream yesterday.
Kripp: "Can you combo on turn 1? Not really. That's really hard to do." Oh yes, tell us how playing a coin is really hard to do. Or coin + 1-drop + this card.
Kripp, Ben Brode explained on the Whispers of the old gods stream that all of the transforming minions have a third form now just for Fandral Staghelm. For example a 5/5 for druid of the flame and 4/6 taunt and charge for Druid of the claw

Congratulations
It was confirmed in the livestream Kripp as an FYI that with Fandral Staghelm Druid of the claw and flame will be a 4/6 taunt with charge and a 5/5 respectively. They made separate art for those cards too which should be cool!
53:07
+Skipperino Kripperino nice one, i missed the refresh
+Skipperino Kripperino Has anyone ever thought if Skipperino is actually Kripp himself, trolling everyone?
+Gyrmyth Yeah, kripp would make a 2nd unofficial account to help people to skip himself. Of course.
can you make a timestamp of every card?
+Skipperino Kripperino dont these long content vids without stream clips make you salty? when do you think the senpai will notice you? within the year?
Who else went "wtf" seeing Power Word: Tentacles
yeah hahahah
+JasonBFleece Power Word: Kreygasm
+JasonBFleece My reaction was closer to "dang it, this is too expensive to replace Velen's Chosen in any capacity."
+gigastrike2 It's not about the card's stats or mechanics, it's just about how fucked up it is having "Tentacles" as a power word.
Han Zhang Yeah, the joke was that my response was super dry.
Just for clarification: Unlike what the Kripp says in the video, Forbidden Ancient has no synergy with Brann. Brann would just run the battlecry again, which would spend all your 0 mana and make it gain an additional +0/+0. Even Kripp The Great can make mistakes.
+masterplusmargarita That sounds more like Blizzard's terrible design choices tbh.
+ChrisCarTheMarauder
Don't see how. The battlecry says "Spend all your Mana." You spend it all the first time, and when Brann triggers it again, you have 0 mana to spend.
*****
Yeah, and that's fucking stupid. It should interact with Brann.
Why are you defending them?
ChrisCarTheMarauder
Why should it interact with Brann? How would you rephrase the effect so it does?
*****
You're right, it should remain shitty and never see play and get no synergy for the primary card for battlecry minions.
You're like the guy who nerfed Blade Flurry.
I want to see an Am'gam Ragerino but he has to be as dedicated and awesome as Magma Ragerino.
+Keine Ahnung I'm more awesome than him
kripp are old HE CANT AVALIATE CARDS MORE HE TALKING SHIT AFTER SHIT PASS ON NOXIUS AND SEE THE TRUTH
+Am'gamRagerino Kripperino next expansion they are gona add a 3 mana 2/5 because just like they did with ice rager probably would be called Ec'i rager
+Am'gamRagerino Kripperino I'm on your side bro, even I can take on a magma rager with no troubles.
+Keine Ahnung Dedicated and awesome as me*
28:17 I misread "Discard" as "Discover" and I was seriously questioning my existence when Kripp said it was bad.
Regarding Fandral's Choose one effects with transformed minions, Ben Brode stated in a livestream that there is now a 3rd transformation that combines the effects/stats of both transformed minions. E.G. Druid of the claw turns into a 4/6 taunt with charge, Druid of the flame turns into a 5/5 etc.
as they said the transfrom card will have a new, third, form so yes druid of the flame is 5/5, druid of the claw will be 4/6 taunt and charge, acient of war will be 10/10 taunt etc... basically you get all the best aspects of each transformation
God bless 1.5 speed.
lol
+The marvelous dropper Why not 2?
+Sir Alphander
cause if you put it at 2x speed kripp will get whiplash
FeelsBadMan
+The marvelous dropper So much more hilarious at 0.5!
+The marvelous dropper I forgot that I set the speed to 1.5 for a while and thought Kripp was having a nervous breakdown
What about my new enemy Am'gam "Powercreeped" Rager ?!
+MagmaRagerino Kripperino finally a good counter to you. No more losing on turn 2 when opponent coins out you.
At least he has synergy with inner fire! hehe
+MagmaRagerino Kripperino You are strong that him, he can be mind controlled, but you cant, coz your will is unstoppable
+MagmaRagerino Kripperino will use the burned rager in a hobgoblin deck, ask ben brode for a 3 mana minion that increase the health of 1 life minion by 2.
The name "Am'gam rager" is so punny...
There's so many good C'Thun sinergy cards, that you could build Reno decks around it.
Ben Brode confirmed they made new forms for transform creatures that combines both the effects if you have Fandral Stagheln
They clarified the double choose one effect, they created a third minion with both stats, its in the WoTG stream around 59 minutes
ancient of war, 10/10 taunt...
There's a reason I usually mainly stick with Kripp evaluating the cards over anyone else. He really truly analyzes the cards not only situationally but with its interactions with other cards, both with mechanics I never thought of myself. There's been countless cards with this set that I initially though we're underwhelming until Kripp brings up situations and reasons why in fact a lot of these are strong. Good Stuff Kripp

just lil sometin on druid legendary staghelm , they actualy made a third form for all transform minions so yeah druids of the flame will be 5/5 for 3
+Pwnstar Wouldnt it be 7 7 ? i mean wasnt the stats combined?.

SHAMANS ARE GOING TO BE SOOOOOOO OP
- Said everyone before TGT released EleGiggle
The tools Shamans got in TGT are insane, Aggro shaman would be OP if it was any more consistent than it currently is. If the shaman gets the cards they want you can easily lose turn 3-4. Inconsistency keeps it in check though.
Shadow Strike 3 mana deal 5 damage to Jaraxxus.
I feel like after dr boom/challenger people are so scared to call a card straight up bad
please make a tavern brawl where it's just shifter zerus's... that'd be so sick.
Yes, having Fandral on board and playing a Choose One card like Druid of the Flame will give you combined stats (in this case a 5/5). Ben Brode mentioned on the stream that they made a third variant card for every one of these to reflect the new forms.
a 7/7^^
+wolfVFV What? I'm pretty sure it's still a 5/5 not a 7/7
+wolfVFV they said its 5/5. The card is originally a 2/2 Each choose one adds either +3 attack or +3 health. 2/2 + 3/3=5/5
If you had seen the reveal video, Ben Brode explains exactly how Fandral Staghelm works with transform minions.
They have made a 3rd form that will have the advantages from both forms. 4/6 taunt "bear cat" and so on.
I mean...usually you don't need both effects(Druid of the claw), and sometimes it makes the card worse(ancient of war). So the only reasonable way to play it would be thaurissan - fandral - ancient of lore - Druid of the saber
Dang i thought this video was on 1.25x speed.
nope just kripp spitting bars faster than Eminem

For Staghelm it was clarified on stream that the transform minions will each be given a new third form to transform into that combines the best effects of both choices. For example, Druid of the Claw will be a 4/6 minion with both charge and taunt, Druid of the Saber will be a 3/2 minion with both charge and stealth, and Druid of the Flame will be a 5/5 minion.
Who watched kripp edit this shit for 3 hours
This is why i prefer Kripps card reviews over any other streamer. He gives you the most thorough incite on each card without any biased opinions. Cough* ....Amaz .....Cough*
divine shield paladins? time craft some bloodknights
A headsup for those that didn't watch the reveal stream. Fandral Staghelm transform the choose one minions into a third form with special name and art. For example, Druid of the claw becomes a 4/6 taunt with charge. The effects happens in the order they are written so the left option happens first and then the right one.
Ben Brode has confirmed that Fandral Staghelm on minions will cause them to combine.
Druid of the Flame becomes a 5/5 for example
7/7
5 mana 4/6 taunt charge damn
+SkipTheSparrow ok, i'm not sure what you wrote qualifies as an explanation.
take druid of the claw. if it both gains *charge* and gains *+2 health and taunt*, it is a 4/6 taunt with charge. obviously.
(same with ancient of war, a 10/10 taunt, etc.)
but if druid of the flame both transforms into a 2/5 and transforms into a 5/2... that doesn't even make sense! (if it was a 2/2 and said choose one - gain 3 attack or 3 health, that would be understandable. maybe they'll change its wording.)
+theantimatter Ben himself said that it will transform into a 5\5, and will be a completely different minion. See their "Whisper of the old gods live stream" stream VOD on HS official channel.
+NIKENITIUS ok, i'll check. thanks ^_^
34:40 when he skipped the rager card, I started laughing so hard.
Blizzards Balance Team: "Lets nerf Blade Flurry, as this will allow the design team to make some cool rogue weapons and weapon buffs".
Blizzards Design Team: "Lets not give rogue any weapons or direct buffs this expansion, because Blade Flurry would make these over powered".
Meanwhile, there was no communication between these teams.
With Fandral Staghelm the minions that transform get the stats that are best over all so Druid of the flame will be 5/5 minion, Druid of the claw will be a 4/6 with taunt, and charge and so on. This was confirmed by Ben Brode in the stream which was on 21st of April, he also said that they made new card art for when these minions get both options.
Cyclopian Horror really reminds me of Celia from Monsters Inc.
yup
Ben Brode said on the stream that with Fandral Staghelm, a third minion is created for choose one transform effects(i.e. Druid of the flame and Druid of the Claw). So you will get a 5/5 or a 4/6 taunt charge.
“Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.”

About transform effects with the Fandral.
Ben Brode said that BOTH effect will take place, and actually that there are a bunch of NEW ARTS and NEW SOUNDS for the combined effect. ALL Choose One - transform will basically now have a THIRD option that they will transform to only if Fandral is in the board.
Frecking cool.
54 CARDS?! *gets popcorn*
"Duskboar, 2 mana 4/1 beast. Okay we're done"
46:11 Kripparian forgets that there is class that is called a "druid"....
1:54 the transform effects do make Druid of the flame, for example, a 5/5 and they actually made a new 'form' with its own art for each of these
Neat *click*
Did TH-cam change it's video player U.I. again?
+sunny yang Yeah, and for once it actually looks a bit better
RedTruth I disagree.
+sunny yang yes
sunny yang
ok
~4:50 I think Brann will not work as you said. It will spend all your mana again, but at this point there is no more mana to spend ;)
Definitely not giving Fendral enough credit. Even Raven Idol turns into draw 2.
I hope Kripp gives us a more extensive review on these cards based on class and neutrals. He just misses a lot of interactions.
Turns out its preeetttttyyy goood!
Every streamer ever: "too slow" for every card
RAVEN ITS THE STRONGER LEGENDARY OF THE EXPANSION HES AWESOME
I haven't scrolled through the comments, so someone may have already said this, but Ben Brode on twitter (possibly on the stream) said that there is now an added 3rd transform that is a combination of the choose one cards.
So DotC becomes a 4/6 charge with taunt, AoW becomes a 10/10 taunt and the 3 mana DotF becomes a 5/5. It also applies to your choose one spells as well allowing for some interesting effects with Raven Idol or the new choose one spell.
In arena last week, I used Black Knight on a silverback patriarch. Which is maybe the worst target for him in the game, but I won :)

+Lucas Kenzou Target dummy
+alaineman fair enough. Still felt weird using it
+Ian Nutter a wild comment appears!
+Ian Nutter That poor TriHard
Hey Kripp, just so you know, cards like druid of the flame would become a 5/5. Ben Brode mentioned it yesterday on stream
They said on stream that Fandral Staghelm with for example druid of the flame will get a third transformation. So a 3 mana 5/5
+Daniel Karlsson damn that is crazy good
Patrick Bartash Yeah, and druid of the claw will be 4/6 with taunt and charge.
17:39 "Can't combo on turn one" Oh, so I can't coin out two Bladed Cultists for two 2/3's on turn 1? FailFish
Yeah but it isn't guaranteed that you will go second
4:28 I don't think it is going to work with brann, he will activate the battlecry use ur 9 crystal and become a 10-10 then he will activate the battlecry again but u have already spent all your mana and will add 0-0
I'm sure lots of other people have posted this but just in case it was missed - Ben Brode said on stream that there are new druid forms for the cards where you 'Choose One' into a specific create. Druid of the Flame becomes a 5/5 and druid of the claw is a 4/6 with charge and taunt
hey kripp. nice shirt
+MinesAndDesigns chin
+MinesAndDesigns Hisss
Who is Leafy?
+MinesAndDesigns GO AWAY
+MinesAndDesigns Dude, how dare u put normal comments here!
I really liked the deep analysis of the Am`gam Rager! 34:42
omg watch this on 0.5 he looks sooo fucking high rolforlfolrofl
For Staghelm they already said on stream that if the choose one card has a transform effect that they have made a third form which combines the two. They gave Flame as an example, as it DOES become a 5/5
kripp I watched the entire wotg stream and ben said transform cards will have a third form and druid of the flame will be a 5 5
only with the "your choose one cards combine effects" (or something along those lines) card in play
+Kripparrian 1:26 Ben Brode confirmed on stream that they designed Third Forms for minions with choose one / transform effects like Druid of the Flame
13:22 Turn 1: Selfless Hero // Turn 2: Coin + Steward of Darkshire + Trade SH // Turn 3: Magma Rager // Turn 4: Double "Duskboar" and snow ball....
Coin, Bladed Cultist, Bladed Cultist. Win.
About that Druid Legendary...
They said on stream that they have special "third" option for Choose one cards, which this card utilizes. So basically Druid of the Claw is a new 4/6 Taunt minion with charge.
"You play Evolve" Silly kripp, no one plays Evolve anymore
We really need a new murloc legendary, for the fun of it
"One full mana crystal less!" As opposed to one half mana crystal?
+Dieter Gaudlitz No. "One full mana crystal" as opposed to one empty mana crystal like Wild Growth gives you.
You're welcome.^^
After watching the video normally I had to find out what replaying it at 1.25 speed or 1.5 speed would be like, and I think is preeeeetty entertaining xD
Hey why'd you skip over Am'gam rager :(
for those wondering, the new druid legendary spawns a new minion, the flame druid does become a 5/5, druid of the claw becomes a 4/6 taunt with charge, etc.
17:40
They made an entire new set of versions (edit: I think they qualify as tokens) for "choose one" cards for when you get combined effects (with Fandral). At least that's what I understood from the stream.
Have you even watched the LIVESTREAM Kripp my god you are so wrong on so many cards.
it was nice seeing you edit it! (I came here to see the cards you forgot to record lol)
I really like the fact that you went quickly most people have played enough, or watched enough, hearthstone to know if the cards are good or not. Going quickly definitely a good idea.
Fandral Staghelm: For cards like Druid of the Flame/Claw, you get the upside of both effects. Brode said in the stream that the cards use a 3rd form that gets both stat bonuses. Kripp must've missed that.
Ben Brode stated that transform minions now have a third hybrid form of their transformations, having both stats and keywords. taunt and charge, with bonus health. stealth 3/2 with charge. Or a flat 5/5. And the choose effects go in order that they are printed on the card, dealing 5 damage, then doing 2 to all. He said it during the live stream card reveal.
They said on stream how Fandral staghelm would work with Transform Minions. theyve made a new Minion/token for each of those cards.
Was gonna comment this, guess he didn't watch the twich
It'll be interesting to see "choose one" decks built around Fandral Staghelm. The dream of turn 4 Fandral, turn 5 Druid of the Claw, turn 7 Ancient of War, and starfalls for board clear. Not sure how competitive, but it'll be fun to watch the highlight clips.
Hey Kripp, as far as Fandral Staghelm (the new druid legendary) works out, Ben Brode said on stream that minions such as Druid of the Flame would have both of the "beneficial" versions combined and they would actually turn into a completely NEW, THIRD minion not otherwise selectable. So Druid of the Flame would have a new form where it is a 5/5 for 3 mana. Preeetty good!
1:27 On the reveal live stream they said about the Fandral Staghelm, that they have made a 3rd version of those "choose one" minions just because of that card :D
About 1:48, Blizzard confirmed in their reveal stream that the minions with transfrom effects will get a 3rd form for that case which combines both stat buffs, so that druid of the claw becomes a 4/6 Taunt with charge.
To those wondering about how Fandral works (kripp seems to not have heard the news), cards like Druid of the Flame and Druid of the Claw become a brand new third form. Druid of the flame is a 5-5, druid of the claw is a 4-6 with charge + taunt.
Ben mentioned Fandral will actually MIX both transformations in a new card adding both stats.
1:49 If I'm not wrong they said that for the transform minions there will be a third transformation for Fandral effect that will metch the other 2 choices
it's not that noob trap or like that, I think it's similiar to brann if it is on the board thing are going to happen
Fandral Staghelm activates both Choose One effects in the order in which they are written on the text. For example, an Ancient of War would get +5 attack and then +5 HP and Taunt, effectively turning into a 10/10 with Taunt. Druids work slightly differently. For example, a Druid of the Flame would gain +3 atk and then +3 HP, turning into a 5/5. A Druid of the Claw would gain charge and then +2 HP and taunt, turning into a 4/6 Taunt + Charge. They get the best stats of each form and the abilities of each form. Even spells are affected by this. For example, Feral Rage would grant your hero +4 atk and then give +8 armor. Not to shabby!
And Raven Idol you discover both
Druid Legendary will have new tokens according to Brode on the stream. Druid of the Flame becomes a 5/5. it gets all the best stats of both tokens.
*Hearthstone Dev greets an artist as he enters his office.*
Dev: Hello! Thank you for coming. I understand you have an idea for the card "Disciple of C'Thun?"
Artist: I sure do! First, I was thinking let's make this guy a Pandaren. Because, you know, Pandaren are known to be around Silithus.
Dev: I like it! Anything else!?
Artist: Well, I have been kicking some major ass in Mortal Kombat as Raiden. He's just so cool with lightning coming out of his hands and---
*Dev interrupts the artist.*
Dev: Stop! Your idea is incredible! You need to start drawling this right away. Here, take your payment in advance, with a bonus!
*With that the artist ran out of the office with hands full of cash.*
Divine Strength - "We couldn't think of anything, so we made a Magic The Gathering card."
Bladed Cultist - "Coin, have two 2/3's."
Flamewreathed Faceless - Turn 4 7/7, Turn 5 "have enough mana to play rockbiter and windfury, insta 20 damage"
For any wondering how Fandral interacts with Druid of the Flame and Claw: You'd get a 5/5 from Flame and a 4/6 charge taunt from Claw, as confirmed by Ben Brode during the stream yesterday.
Kripp: "Can you combo on turn 1? Not really. That's really hard to do."
Oh yes, tell us how playing a coin is really hard to do. Or coin + 1-drop + this card.
Kripp, Ben Brode explained on the Whispers of the old gods stream that all of the transforming minions have a third form now just for Fandral Staghelm. For example a 5/5 for druid of the flame and 4/6 taunt and charge for Druid of the claw
When flamewreathed faceless came up, I was like wtf?
The Am'gam Rager review was my favourite. 34:44
