Yeah. Mal'ganis nasty. I wonder if it prevents you from taking damage from sap O.o

It makes you immune to all damage, including the hero power, the Pit Lord, etc.

So basically it changes the whole game for Warlock. But the problem is that people will aim that down.

Voidwalkers! They'll be a mighty 3/5 for 1 mana.

"Soulfire now costs 1 (up from 0"

Dunno about this one. Discard a card can be pretty brutal.

"Flare now costs 2 (up from 1)"

Makes sense. Draw a card for 1 is very cheap, especially when it clears Stealth and Secrets (not that anyone uses it for that).

Priests and Mages? Huh?

I was a hunter. Then I faced three mages in a row.

Feth this game so hard sometimes.

Nah.

Let's just say I ran across decks that could've come straight out of constructed/ranked.

I had the Wonderful Opportunity to face a couple of druids in the arena. Who's bright idea was to give druids 7/7 creatures for only 5 mana?!? I got singularly wrecked by those awful druids of the snake twice. One guy played two twice in a row (he brought the first time off a hexed frog).

Not exactly hard, given how useless Dust Devils tend to be, especially against any class that can do 1 damage.

Windfury minions are undervalued as they are often very easy to deal with (even Al'akir ain't so hot).
