Opponent plays Rag, your turn you reply with Faceless + BGH. Probably a top 3 Hearthstone feel.

Where's this date from?
Sorry, hadn't checked the thread in a while. it's from blue tweet and response in a reddit thread:

Twitter / cataclyst78: We are going to eat this gummy ...(July 15th is national gummy bear/worm day) andcataclyst78 comments on [FYI] Auchenai + Ancestral Healing = Instakill(7 -> -15)

Their PR spin guys wouldn't be throwing out all the *hint, hint, snicker, snicker*'s if it wasn't already set in stone in the internal pipeline.

Also there's a couple other hints on the official forums too lazy to link.

Topped only by playing your own Rag to have your opponent Faceless it and miss killing your Rag EOT. Follow this up with your own Faceless and BGH then feast on tears.

Woah, wonder if some of those other cards will be hitting the game.
Pretty much everything shown there are pve cards so no reason they wouldn't. Like the 2/7 that makes you immune is a card played by the AI, not a card for players, shit would be broken as all fuck. One of the few player cards that's shown is the webspinner hunter naxx card they've already revealed and you see that one of the hunter challenge is apparently to play with only webspinners, so basically you RNG your way to victory. So yeah I'd expect most of that to make it in. Looks relatively fun, kinda like the tutorial but longer and hopefully more challenging. Just not sure how much this shit is gonna cost, the 5000g rumor price tag is pretty rough, I'm still kinda far from that even doing daillies everyday and not spending any gold and I don't really feel like spending much real money on the game. Maybe 10bucks and 2500gold will be enough to buy it all.

Another thing they could do is make the naxx challenges/achievements grant large chunks of gold. possibly after you have already received the card from the challenge you would then get gold. If they doubled or tripled gold income in this way, the price structure wouldn't be too bad, and it would have the added effect of alleviating the slow gold income for non-infinite arena players and give people another way to earn gold after they're done with the daily at more than 3.33 per fucking win.

But then people would just bot the pve content for gold, which means it's basically never happening. Could maybe add a pve daily though, on top of the current daily.

seriously losing my fucking temper. made it into rank 3 multiple times over the past few days only to immediately lose 2 in a row and drop out. This latest game I lost to some faggot handlock who coiled his own owl to topdeck a fucking sunfury.

Hit rank 5 today. I think my problems were the deck I was using. Soon as I switched I went from 14 to 5. Hope to get legend before season ends.

Yeah KT is gonna be pretty good, but its not every turn, it's "This turn" according to the card text. It's probably a battlecry that activates after you play him. But we'll see. Feugan and Stalagg look pretty good too, i'm curious how good thaddius will be once he's summoned.

12/12 would be my guess. But yeah, KT seems like a Cult Master but for minions on field instead of card draw. A strong board presence card for tempo decks. Almost a "tempo finisher" in that it doesn't end the game but if you had a little bit of pressure it cements it.

How would people will be able to successfully bot it? Too much rng imo.

You don't need to win every game, or even half the games, that's the concept of botting, it doesn't have to be efficient because it runs 24/7. It's the same reason they put a cap on 3wins=10gold, because it's relatively easy to bot a simple rush deck and keep playing until you win games off newbies or bad draws. Against an AI it probably would be even simpler once you figure the one that's the most efficient to farm(for example one that you have to burn before it burns you, say patchwerk, would be a prime target for a rush bot).

30minions, bot scans for turns, when it's your turn, play your left card, if you can't play it, play 2nd card from the left, and so on until you've done your hand, then select the left minion spot on the board and attack face, do this for every possible card position on your board, then do it again for every possible position on the enemy board because of taunters. End turn once done. Like you don't need a complex bot, this is doable with shitty autohotkey scripts, it won't win often, but it'll still win sometimes. Better done as a hunter I would assume, so you can also hero power every turn in case you don't have shit to play.
