LOTI 131 : Mammoth Proportions
News
Year of the Mammoth
Rotating Out:
Blackrock Mountain
The Grand Tournament
The League of Explorers
6 cards from Classic moving to Wild-only. Calling it the “Hall of Fame set”. If you own any of these cards, you will get to keep them and gain dust equal to their creation value when the rotation goes live. These cards will no longer be found in packs once the update occurs.
It’s recommended to craft these cards if you don’t have them so that you get the free dust from Blizzard. (especially the Golden versions)
You can still dust them afterwards if you don’t want them for free dust.
If you own a regular and Golden version of a card, you will only get the full dust value of the Golden version.
Only get dust for the copies you can include in a deck. If you have 3 Azure Drakes, you only get dust for 2, so disenchant one now.
Azure Drake
Sylvanas Windrunner
Ragnaros the Firelord
Power Overwhelming
Ice Lance

Blizzard is going to work on more Wild Tournaments
Daily Login rewards – At the start will include Dust, Gold, Expansion packs and a “few other surprises”
New Hero: Rogue – Maiev Shadowsong
Win 10 games of Hearthstone in Standard or Casual mode when the rotation happens.
There will be some Deathrattle build-arounds in upcoming sets.

Blizzard considering un-nerfing Molten Giant and putting it in the Hall of Fame set for the 2018 rotation.

Missions in the expansions will be harder than they were in Adventures.
Don’t plan current to do heroics.
40% of all players on ladder are around rank 20.
They are experimenting with Stealth, Deathrattle and Tricks with Rogues. Some Thievery too.
Espo Mode ~ Blood Magic
“How much are you willing to sacrifice for power? All your spells will cost health instead of mana!”
Violet Illusionist does work and can be used to prevent damage to yourself when using spells.
Animated Armor will reduce any damage you take from casting a spell to 1.
You can’t play a spell if you don’t have enough health regardless of if you have Violet Illusionist and Animated Armor.
Gadgetzan Auctioneer saw lots of play by me (Espo) in my Druid deck
Lots of heal spells were used with Druid

I just tweeted at lotipodcast 2 candidates for your fun deck challenge, wanted to mention a few things about my decks. My Twitter handle is @mherrick84.
