EDIT: Acorn Bearer too? Go full Heal Druid and have Lucentbark and a Faceless Manipulator.

Okay now I'm here. Not sure about those question mark cards. I think Lifeweaver is ok statwise but there arent enough solid cards to activate her effect. I'm not super interested in going full heal druid either. Just not convinced there's enough heal to support a card like lucentbark coming back multiple times, I think by the time you get him down and dead you've actually spent a lot of the cards you would use to combo with him.

2 Crystallizer
2 crystal power
2 Dreamway Guardians ????
Stalladris
2 Wrath
2 Lifeweaver ???
2 Ornery Tortoise ????
Flobbidinous Floop
2 Swipe
2 crystal stag
zilliax.

Does Regenerating Thug ever make sense? That was another card I was considering.

Just 10 more hours to go, really excited for this one. 81 packs and a little over 8K gold, thinking on saving some for the solo content and arena to test that out. Maybe 100 packs? Should be enough (also got 25+K dust, so can craft whatever is needed outside of that).

I found a couple posts on reddit with Rise of Shadow set review compilations:

This one has a spreadsheet with all the streamers who rated cards and their ratings:

This one is a list of set reviews and links to the reviews:

The Vicious Syndicate review is my favorite:

I love reading stuff like this. I'm surprised Vicious rated Kirin Tor Tricaster so low. I thought the +3 spell damage basically worked to upgrade all your spells. Your Frostbolt is now a discounted Fireball that Freezes. Fireball is practically a cheap Pyroblast.
EDIT: Still reading and surprised they love Muckmorpher. That's probably what I'll play today but I wasn't thinking it'd be that amazing.

Lots of people seem to think the murloc legendary is too slow or something but the reload potential when combined with the 2 Mana 2/3 that gives you a murloc seems too powerful to not include. Maybe that's just a little too combo for a fast deck though.

I really want Resto Druid to work, but I'm just not seeing the win condition. Crystal Stag and Lucentbark seems more annoying than legitimate threats.

So is this expansion looking good? I haven't played HS in forever but I been getting the itch again for a card game.

One exciting aspect of this year's expansions is a consistent theme across them all. So you'll see cards in the next two expansions that build on what's being released in RoS. Seems like a great time to jump back in!

I think it looks solid on its own merits, but the first expansion of the year is one of the best times to jump back in IMO. So much changes(usually) that it's a just a natural spot for someone to jump back in, and deck variety is especially wacky during the first couple weeks of the new year(and not playing against the same 2-3 decks for 90% of your games is when HS is the most enjoyable IMO)

It's worth to craft a golden legendary that is going to hall of fame before the year of Dragon begins?

Had my last couple games with Deathrattle Hunter. Say what you want about Hunters' dominance on ladder, but the deck was so much fun to play, surely in my top 5 favorites.

I'm exercising a lot of self control to not open Hearthstone on my phone right now. For year rotations, I like to see the big animation and whatnot on my desktop, so I have to wait for after work tonight.

Too darn laggy to open packs (EU). The client then crashed and will not start properly again.
Will wait a couple of hours and see if the servers recuperate.
