#wyrmguard secrets

[rabbleon]

Mood with the WoW drama lately

I feel that some of you forgot how the sun feels on your skin. Or how to breathe non-musty air. Or what the inside of a jail cell looks like. Or all of the above.

[martyrette]

Wait till you tell them we only used to be 15 people for the longest time.

Also the Wallers are all in their 20s?

so the elf embassy bleeds members while their leader still hangs out with a bunch of teenagers in the woods?

•• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ •• PREFACE •• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

TRP Aesthetics & formating has always been a well-guarded secret within the World of Warcraft RP community. This guide serves to break down that gatekeeping and give everyone access to the tools to make their TRP in whatever cool way they want!

It's been a long time since I realized my first guide, so this one serves as not only an updated version for all the new tricks I learned, but also a connection to further resources which have come out since then.

This guide will also be actively updated with Further Resources when new guides and tricks come out by other creators.

As always, LET'S GET THIS SPARKLE AND CROSS-INFESTED BREAD! (っ◔◡◔)っ ❤

•• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

SYMBOLS •• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

Symbols! Dare I say the face of Aesthetic TRPS! There are two kinds of symbols: the symbols you can simply copy/paste easy-peasy & then the ones that require a special symbol to activate!

When using ANY, make sure to include this ㅡ symbol somewhere in the line or it will appear as a box.

Normal Symbols:

‹ « Ω ∑ ∂ ∆ ∫ ƒ × ∞ § √ π ½ ¼ † ‡ ¦ ¤ ◊ ° • ∙ -ㅡ » › ±

Special Symbols:

♡ ☆ ° ♪ ♩ ♭ ♬ ★☆ ☜ ☞ 〉 《 》 「 」 『 』 【 】 〔 〕 ↖ ↗ ↘ ↙ Δ ∮ ▒ ▣ ▤ ▥ ▦ ▧ ▨ ▩ ◊ ◈ ◇ ◆ ■ □ ◁ △ ▽ ▷ ∆ ∇ ▲ ▼ ⊙ ◐ ◑

•• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

FORMATTING •• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

Formatting is a bitch. THANKFULLY, we got some tips & tricks here to make it easier for all of you! This section will be going over gradient text, empty 'race' slots, headers, spacing, additional information and all that funky stuff that just makes it look nicer. Who thought moving text over or changing it's size would make such a difference!?

━━━━

Colour Gradients:

━━━━

Once again, thank you to @ladytruebane for showing me how to do this all the way back when I made the first guide. Give her love. Or else.

Okay, so you want to do something like this?

You're going to want to go to this website: https://www.stuffbydavid.com/textcolorizer

Put whatever text you wish within the box and the colours you would like. Copy paste the BBCode selection into your TRP. Every 'color' must be turned into 'col', every set of these brackets [ ] must be turned into these ones { }, the # & = must be erased and = must be replaced with : . It is a long process, but it won't show up unless you do this.

Below is a small video of me verbally explaining it as well (and showing how long it takes. (¬_¬") )

━━━━

Empty 'Race' Slot

━━━━

So you want to make race/class all one colour! It's actually HELLA easy.

Go to your Race Slot and delete everything in it, once you do that, press spacebar and BOOM. Empty! Just make sure whatever you want coloured is in the Class Slot, and it will appear the colour of your choice.

Small demo below!

━━━━

Headers

━━━━

How to make your text bigger! There are three sizes of header:

You can colour your headers whatever kind you want - the gradient even works with headers as well! Headers can be used for all sorts of things: Titles, About Sections, Quotes, Borders, Symbols, whatever you want! Icons are also effected by headers so you can orientate an icon wherever you'd like within your TRP!

Just make sure everything is within the {h1:c} & {/h1} or else it will appear as it's default size.

━━━━

Additional Information

━━━━

Additional Information can be a canvas to put whatever you want! Here's an example of what I do with mine!

The sky is your limit! You can really do anything with it. Here's a small video explaining spacing with Additional Information and some tricks I've learned.

•• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ •• LINKS •• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

Links are where you put your. . .Links! Artwork, tumblrs, carrds, social links, etc etc. Here, I'll be showing you the different ways you can format links; orienting them on your page as well as turning them into icon images! The former was hard af to figure out but when you see how simple this is, you will laugh at me-

So formatting links; it's basically the same as formatting normal text as shown above. You can even colour them too! Here's a quick little show of how to make a coloured and formatted standard link.

The order of code for coloured links is as follows: Header (If wanted) > Colour Code > Link To make a link appear as an Icon, you MUST place the Icon Code within the text section (as seen in the video). If you do not, it will not appear and ruin the string of code.

•• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ •• BORDERS •• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

Borders can be used wherever within your TRP! They're good for sectioning information and just making it look nice and formatted. There are three different kinds of borders: Symbols, Images & Icons. I will explain how to make your own, as well as share some for free use!

━━━━

Symbols

━━━━

Symbol-based borders are by far the easiest to make. You just type them out and play around with the symbols of your choice! You can really put them anywhere within your TRP - Additional Info, About, OOC info, literally ANYWHERE.

I encourage you all to try and make your own! I bet they'll be super cool. For now though, here's some examples ya'll can use.

━━━━

Images

━━━━

Image borders can come in two forms: full images or flattened images. The first is very explanatory, whatever image you pick can divide text. This can be scenery, crowns, gems, Blizzard-licensed character art & so much more! There's a butt load to pick from, so take the time to browse and find the perfect one.

Here's an example I did using a Revendreth image!

Flattened images can also be used as borders! To flatten an image, you must alter the last numbers within the string of code. As you can see here, this is the normal image and default code.

I go in and edit the number 128 to 5 and get this flattened image as a result!

Again, feel free to play around with this and find the images and sizes you love best! I've even seen some people super impose them for backgrounds??? Badass???

━━━━

Icons

━━━━

Icon borders are like the weird lovechild of Image & Symbol borders. With a mixture of Icons & Symbols, you can really make some cool shit. Icons can be formatted and moved around your profile with Headers. Like so!

•• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

TRP ICON GLOSSARY •• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

Here is a collection of aesthetic TRP Icons I've found and categorized for your usage! They are divided by UI-formatting, colour (random picks), Racial, Faction & then any other cute random ones I find.

Sadly, the black, white & brown Icon sections has to be cut due to the sheer GIRTH of this post. However, you can really find any sort of Icons within the searchbar! Keywords like colours (black, pink, green), races (Nightelf, Human, etc) and so much more can be found easily! Want your icon to be a class ability? Use the class as your keyword.

━━━━

Transparent Backgrounds

━━━━

These icons appear as their shape, rather than having a black box or background behind it. You can use these little guys for all sorts of things! I've seen people use them as borders, bullet-points, decor, like literally anything.

TIPS & INFO •• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

Simply a collection of little tricks and nuggets of info I've learned about TRP over the years. They don't quite count as formatting so uh. I dunno. This is my guide, I'll do what I want-

The larger your TRP is, the longer it will take to load. Don't feel put off if someone whispers you about it thinking they were accidently blocked!

A TRP doesn't have to be long to be good. Size doesn't matter, it's how you use it as they say.

Don't feel pressured to make your TRP a certain way. It's your TRP. Have fun with it and go crazy!

Don't feel afraid to reach out & ask other players how they did something in their TRP if you like it! Though some may still gatekeep techniques, there's been a shift in the TRP culture. You may make a new friend too!

If you get a TRP formatting error, you're most likely just missing a / or { } somewhere within the code. I do it all the time and a comb through the code normally shows me where one went missing.

BACK UP YOUR TRP! The worst feeling in the world is writing a super swag TRP only for it to get shitted on by a WoW update. Below, I'll show you a quick and easy way to do it.

Alternatives to AI Art, another post I’ve made awhile ago. The community has this weird culture about NEEDING character art, so here’s some alternatives to AI!

Super cute TRP templates done by this lovely tumblr account. Stumbled across them by chance, but I'm kinda adoring the themes & aesthetic they've got going??? @trp3-templates

A really amazing post on r/WoWRoleplay where the community has shared some more tips & tricks I haven't covered within this guide. It warms my heart to see us helping out each other!

The original TRP Aesthetic Guide I made years ago. All the information has been imported and improved here, but I'm a bit of a sentimental sucker, so I'll be linking it here too for legacy purposes.

•• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ •• CLOSING WORD •• ━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━ ••

GUYS, it's been over a wholeass YEAR since I released the OG TRP Guide. That's crazy, yo. A lot happens in a year & I'm so glad to have heard how many people got my guide and appreciated it. You guys have gotten hella creative and I can't count how many swag & aesthetic TRPs I've seen since it's release. Not only that, but people have also been more open with sharing techniques & tips. Just makes me fuzzy inside or someshit.

Point is, since I released it there's a LOT of stuff I didn't know and even more things being found out. That, and there's a lot of stuff I thought was common knowledge that isn't; thus not adding it to the original one. I asSuMeD- So, I began asking some of you just how you were doing it & compiling EVERYTHING, just incase! Like the first, this project is a bunch of roleplayers coming together to make another fun resource for the community. ENOUGH MUSHINESS. GO MAKE A CUTE / SWAG TRP!

So this is what the Wyrmguard Victoria's Secrets bitches are doing now? They're sending messengers to my inbox to spit bars at me? What the hell is this person talking about? I mean, I'm flattered. Really. I'm flattered...but...scared to respond? Respond to what??? If he's talking about Wyrmguard Secrets, the admin to that group banned me. So I CAN'T respond. They're so angry at me. They don't like when they pop shit to someone and someone pops shit back. All they can talk about is me and fireworks that they're angry that they missed. Last I checked, I don't move on their time, I move on MY time. When I say to check for something, you do it. You sit around and let something occupy your time, you'll miss the signal. That's not my fault. I'm more worried about how my family is gonna pay for the damages our vehicle received during the shoot-out that happened outside of my home earlier today. Meanwhile they're playing "Rage Fantasy" where they want to hate on me and then RP with me when I show up in Stormwind. I'll be in Stormwind tomorrow, we can RP as much as you guys would like until I go to bed, because we all know y'all ain't bold enough to step up from Wyrmguard Secrets Confessions Anonymous. It's all good, I ain't mad at y'all. I'm gonna try to sleep again. It can be a challenge after surviving a shoot-out., but I'm gonna try. As for @thespoon225, if you wanted to ERP with me, you didn't have to come at me with silly bars, you could've just said you wanted to ERP with me. Sure, I'd deny you, but it's the attempt that counts. Maybe you want to take those lyrics and participate in a Rap Battle, or maybe a VERZUZ or something... Here. You get a heart for effort. <3

Hello.

I'm sure people from Wyrmguard Secrets are going to come to this blog, this is not an apology post, my apology happened long ago. I've developed as a person for many years now, since the events that occurred in 2018, some of the events being discussed and posted on WGS are some events that occurred beyond my time with the group I am associated with. I am no longer associated with Galmone or anyone in league with him, I am no longer associated with the former group that made up Aurum Foreign Legion (Galmone's guild). Yes, there was an incident occurred in 2020, one that I regret and one that I have grown from as well. 2018-2022 was a strict period of growth and development for me as I had come out of toxic friendships, an abusive long-term relationship, and other personal struggles that I will not be discussing at length. I know the things I did in my past were wrong, the actual things I took part in and the actual things I said, however most of who you who despise Galmone, are following "evidence" that was also designed by him and presented to Maxen of the SLP to force me out in an OOC manner like was mentioned on WGS. I have worked tirelessly on my own mental health, my own mentality, and my own personality to develop myself into the person I am now and I am no longer going to be responding to people who do nothing but hold me in a light of a person i was 4-6 years ago, because that is no longer who I am. If you read this far, thank you, and have a good one.

[cute-frogs-and-frog-facts]

Hello!

Hello! I've been rather active on the Wyrmguard Secrets discord lately sharing frog facts, and at someones encouragement I thought I'd start up a tumblr proper to share frog facts and pictures of cute frogs with the members of Wyrmrest Accord and Moon Guard, as well as anyone else that may stumble across this blog. I want to make it known I am not a herpetologist (a scientist that studies reptiles and amphibians) and will never, ever claim to be an expert. I was just blessed with a fascination with frogs and enjoy sharing information I find with other people. Maybe one day I'll have the opportunity to study frogs and can become an expert!

You can rest assured that this will, for the most part, be dedicated to frogs and cute pictures of them. I will never post politics (from either side) or anything like that. I would like this to be a safe place for anyone that stumbles upon it. You will always be welcome here and it will be as neutral as possible.

Yours kindly, Frog Druid of Moon Guard

[azerothgossipalbum]

I heard that you were like the new age Wyrmguard Secrets, is that right?

So the original idea was just to have a place for the blog viewers to go and shitpost when the mods of WGS went quiet for a day or two as they do. That was it. We (the orignal little group who thought up the idea) weren't trying to take over or be the Big New Thing™. It didn't really work out because obviously people didn't want to join a discord server to say the same kind of shit they say on anon in WGS. So [internal drama] happened, I changed the password on the blog and related email and kept it for myself, and the discord server went away. That's really all it was.

Circular Goblin Drama

It had been years in the making and has been ever rotating. You know the goblin drama that I am talking about and I feel like it must be as dry to you as it is to me. The ‘Pillars of the community’ as people often have referred to them are seemingly and constantly coming out with new accusations of the next foul deeds and misfortunes. Almost always without any sort of proof to the claim which only causes yet another claim to shoot forward and distract away from the previous claim. What the goblins involved and the community does notice is, all you are doing is harming your own little community and dragging your drama onto the people who are not involved yet still around you. If you wish to have your claims actually hold weight. Send me proof and I’ll put them up here. We are beyond the point where we will start needing screenshots. It’s time to stop hiding in the the dark.

[spineofdeathwing]

Howdy! Seeing as I am no longer part of the SLP community, and how I've been seeing all of the hate going on for Jontont Frost over Wyrmguard Secrets, and the fact that they seem to celebrate my departure from the SLP server by stating "finally the evil beast is gone." as someone showed me via twitter

Let me inform you: the evil beast is not gone. Why? Because Jontont Frost is STILL there.

He and I had a lot of problems. What had initially began as a friendship turned into a nightmare for me. A nightmare I sat quiet on for a very long time. Even with alllll the shit that got posted about me being a bully, etc.

There were many times that I wanted to say something publicly, and in quiet there are a few who know the full story, but I stopped myself because I worried how it would hurt friends, but now it's kind of like... Not having said something has damaged so many things so much more than it would have if I had just said something to begin with.

Hi. I'm the person who played Finnegan Quill. I, to my knowledge, don't have a lot of trouble with people on Moon Guard, except for a few. Jontont is one of those few.

The guy has so many issues, and this is coming from someone with a lot of issues themselves, that it was extremely difficult to deal with them. Prior to things getting too bad, this is how things progressed:

We became friends through RP, I started talking to them more oocly. They seemed super chill, no problem, but as time went on, I found out what kind of person they are. They constantly put themselves down and would get very self deprecating, and me, I am a sensitive person, and my heart bleeds for this sort of thing, so I did my best to tell him he wasn't all the things he called himself, that he could make friends if he just put himself out there. That everything would be fine if he just stuck to his character and separated himself from it, that he wouldn't need to worry about things if he didn't take what happened in character personally.

I wasn't the only person who had to/has to deal with him. I won't name names, but I'm hoping they manage to get away from him sooner than later. Jontont Frost uses emotionally manipulative tactics to draw people in. He stalked me in game despite the fact that I had him on ignore. He still felt the need to put his nose in everything.

I made the heinous mistake of erping with him when he was still in an ic relationship with Elrodore Tate. Yeah, Finnegan went there, and I really wish he hadn't, because that put me in a spot to where Jontont wanted to know everything I was doing. Every single minute of the day. When I told him I needed a break, what did he do? He started to insult himself, call himself useless, friendless, a whole lot of other things, to which I came back to tell him "hey, don't talk about yourself like that. You'll be fine. Just be your best self" etc. Eventually I realized this was a tactic to keep me there, and hell did it get exhausting.

I've got a lot of problems. 100% no doubt. So I didn't need his problems too, but I still tried to be kind. So things still continued, and I grew exhausted again, and again told him I needed a break, but again with the self deprecation he came, and then when he did say "ok, I'll leave you alone for now." He would come back like 5 minutes later pretending nothing had ever even happened.

His stalking, cause that is what it was, grew so bad that even after I ignored him after I had a one sided talk with him, I went to the SLP mods to get it taken care of, because we were both existing in the same project, we worked out an agreement that we both would ignore each other--- FINALLY, because even though I had him on ignore on both Discord and WoW, that still didn't stop him from turning into a cat and watching me in stealth, but he still can't seem to keep his mouth shut about me, so here I am.

I have an extensive history of his stalking/manipulative/inappropriate behavior on documented file which is what I presented to the project moderators as proof of my issues with him, and I'd share it happily, but if I did that, I'd end up dragging other people into things who I don't particularly care to drag through the mud, dm me if you want, though I don't see this going anywhere. I can already feel the goblins on my back for this.

Fuck you, Jontont Frost, and your little Tobias too.

They're both horrible people, I hope others come to realize this sooner rather than later.

Jontont's behavior was gross and traumatic. Every time I seen a white Worgen or the bear form he uses, it made me sick. I couldn't stand to look at them. I was always alarmed when I would be out doing content and someone with the same druid forms would show up alongside me, prompting me to check if it was him, because I felt like I would never get away from him and he would always follow me. If I'm sounding over dramatic, lemme just say, it was THAT BAD.

More to come later.

Spoiler, he decided to tell me about how he masturbated to the ERP we did afterwards, while watching porn. Why did I need to know that? I didn't. He should have kept it to himself. But there he goes crossing IC and OOC again.

There are others who could back things up, but I won't call on them unless they want to come out.

[clement-weather]

omg hi um -- I'm Alison and I made a response to the post on Wyrmguard Secrets and I want to share that below, but I also want to say thank you so much @secretsreader @beardwing-the-befuddled because i read the back-and-forth you guys had here and idk enough ways to say thank you; 🥺👉👈 you guys are gems, i hope you're both flourishing, and im sorry this is the weird shit we get to say hi over asdfhjkalssadfajhkl

--for lurkers who didnt see my post on WGS: I'm the person who wrote the original document (Alison) and I just found out about this post after a person in-game messaged me saying "thank you" for sharing it here. I have to say: it was a liiittle awkward, considering I'm not the person who posted it here nor was I even consulted about the edits made to share it—But, I do appreciate the intent behind that and I'm super thankful to everyone who's been spreading word around.

I do want to make a few clarifications, though.

1 - The names mentioned and the screenshots that I shared in the original document, which are now blocked out in this version, were each used with permission from the players they involved; I wouldn’t have included them otherwise.

2 - We’re not the only people who’ve been harassed by this person, as demonstrated by the set of screenshots at the bottom of page 2. I’ve gotten a lot of really kind and supportive messages from others and that’s been a little overwhelming at times, but I’ve also gotten messages from other women who were harassed by Jean Lannes’ player (and men who he’s lashed out at because he wanted to do ERP with their female characters); there’s someone who he’s fucked with for two years on WoW, Twitter, and FF14 (although the GMs there are apparently better at dealing with bad actors?) because of how they refused to RP with him.

My genuine belief is that this guy has been harassing people for YEARS and that’s why I included his guild history on Page 10. Some of those names, as longtime players on our server can confirm, were active in like 2010 and he’s deeply invested into his time on this game; validating that is clearly important to him, which is why (as I’ve been learning) he uses his mass-invite guild to surround himself with people that aren’t aware of his behavior until after they “get on his bad side” and are turned into scapegoats / removed.

3 - Jean Lannes’ player has been trying to dodge these things by spinning a gross narrative about Thaddeus (the person they called a bunch of slurs), saying that he’s an ex-member of their mass-invite guild and that he was removed for “trying to groom an underaged minor.” This is a blatant lie and easily refuted by the dozens upon dozens of people who know that Thaddeus hasn’t been in a guild other than with his friends since Summer 2020, when he stopped being an officer in The First Regiment.

On page 7 and 8, there was supposed to be a log of my conversation with Jean Lannes on his level 3 alt where he was caught lying about who he associated with, how he associated with those people, and digging himself further and further into that hole; those chatlogs were important to emphasize that he isn’t afraid to just make shit up straight to your face. He lied about being friends / in daily contact with Ismond and Maxen; it’s not hard to anyone who knows those names to message them for a confirmation check.

This guy is a compulsive liar and nobody should be taking anything he says at face-value, especially when he’s trying to discredit a person calling out his vile, unhinged behavior.

4 - Some other things I’ve been told are: (A) he made his guild after being pushed out from several Goldshire communities, because he was using his characters Shadiir and Shyriff to organize “group ERP” sessions and harassing women there, and (B) that he’s had several accounts and one of them is a “sockpuppet” where he pretends to be an australian woman with pictures of a random person and her baby; I’m pretty sure the latter-name is Traceyh, who - in a separate chat log I’ve seen - is a “guild officer” propagating the lie in Point 3.

5 - This document has gotten way, way, WAY out of my own circle and I appreciate everyone sharing it. I’ve gotten a lot of kind messages from complete strangers and it’s been a little overwhelming for my anxiety but I’m really glad to know that the information is spreading in a way that can support and protect others from this unhinged creep and whatever toxic environments he’s a part of.

If you want to use or share the original document I made, unedited, here’s the original link: Tinyurl.com/bruhhhWTF

i like to think it illustrates the vibe i had at the time of writing LMAO.

Jean Lannes, GM of the Crystal Shore Consortium, is homophobic and racist

The full document detailing the specifics of this is below:  tinyurl.com/crystalshorecreepshow Oh, and as an aside, here’s one of the officers going out of their way to censor the information.  https://imgur.com/pROwbSH After that last message from me (I’m purple) I got kicked from the guild. But yeah, at least one of the officers is knowingly complicit. Many of the members themselves don’t seem to know, because some I managed to get the info to before being kicked from discord and the guild left it. Hopefully, more of them see this garbage and abandon this bigoted fuck

[theodorebennas]

Yo Bennas why are you like wyrmguard secrets can I send you drama?

The only way you’d know this is if you weren’t following me. Why is this?

[the-wyrmguard-tearoom]

Opening post! Hello! First off, yes, this is a blog where sensitive things might be discussed. Second, this isn’t affiliated with Wyrmguard Secrets. It’s a place for you to post where the only things that would keep your posts from going through are broken rules. Third, here are the rules:

1: If you’re going to accuse someone of something, submit evidence with it. If you’re screenshotting a conversation, it must be the whole conversation and not cherry-picked. Remember to censor names unless relevant. Show continuity in screenshots, please.

2: If you’re here to defend yourself against accusations, provide evidence in the same manner as rule 1.

3: Testimonials are subject to more strict review if not submitted with other evidence.

4: This isn’t a place to trash RP. It’s a place where you can safely make accusations or defend against them.

5: No names unless relevant. The mod determines what’s relevant based on context.

Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (The Rest)

Blizzard has finally completed card reveals for Hearthstone's next expansion. The Witchwood introduces 135 new cards, using new Echo and Rush mechanics and also introducing a Monster Hunt single-player mode. The Witchwood marks Hearthstone's eighth expansion and the first one for the Year of the Raven.

As is tradition, Shacknews is stepping into the murky forest to break these cards down by the handful. To wrap things up, we do a "Best of the Rest" breakdown for the cards revaled by Game Director Ben Brode and Sean 'Day[9]' Plott on Monday.

Need a recap? Here's what you may have missed:

Hearthstone: The Witchwood - The GDC 2018 Interview with Dave Kosak & Dean Ayala

Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (Part 1) Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (Part 2) Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (Part 3) Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (Part 4) Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (Part 5) Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (Part 6) Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (Part 7) Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (Part 8) Hearthstone: The Witchwood Card Analyses (Part 9)

The MVPs

(9) Shudderwock (6/6) Type: Minion Class: Shaman Rarity: Legendary Battlecry: Repeat all other Battlecries from cards you played this game (targets chosen randomly).

(5) Prince Liam (5/5) Type: Minion Class: Paladin Rarity: Legendary Battlecry: Transform all 1-Cost cards in your deck into Legendary minions.

Notes: Shudderwock is downright frightening, especially if it's given powerful Battlecries from other minions like Saronite Chain Gang, The Black Knight, or any selection of Discover minions. This has the potential to be heavily abused.

Prince Liam is great for the Murloc or Dude Paladin who typically runs out of gas in the late game. If the Paladin player has their board cleared, Prince Liam can act as a great last gasp.

Ladder Climbers

(These are cards that will likely appear in a majority of constructed/Ranked decks, since they'll work well with both new/returning cards.)

(2) Divine Hymn Type: Spell Class: Priest Rarity: Common Restore 6 Health to all friendly characters.

(2) Earthen Might Type: Spell Class: Shaman Rarity: Rare Give a minion +2/+2. If it's an Elemental, add a random Elemental to your hand.

(1) Blazing Invocation Type: Spell Class: Shaman Rarity: Rare Discover a Battlecry minion.

(1) Dark Possession Type: Spell Class: Warlock Rarity: Rare Deal 2 damage to a friendly character. Discover a Demon.

(2) Baleful Banker (2/2) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Epic Battlecry: Choose a friendly minion. Shuffle a copy of it into your deck.

Notes: Nobody comes out the bigger winner here than the Shaman player. Baleful Banker will work with just about any class in the game and fits much better on curve with its 2 mana cost. But with Shaman able to drop Shudderwock, having it swipe the Baleful Banker effect is crazy powerful. Shamans also have two great new spells with no Overload drawback and that's definitely something to rejoice about.

Lastly, there's Dark Possession, which can slide into the Dark Pact slot, if the Warlock player so chooses. It can be used to activate the Possessed Lackey Deathrattle, but the card's language also means it can be used on the Warlock to not only Discover a new Demon, but also boost the Amethyst Spellstone. This is a strong spell and has a chance to only get better going forward.

Situational Wonders

(These are cards that won't quite be constructed/Ranked staples, but will definitely support one or more decks in the current meta.)

(5) Curio Collector (4/4) Type: Minion Class: Mage Rarity: Rare Whenever you draw a card, gain +1/+1.

(3) Cutthroat Buccaneer (2/4) Type: Minion - Pirate Class: Rogue Rarity: Common Combo: Give your weapon +1 Attack.

(2) Ghost Light Angler (2/2) Type: Minion - Murloc Class: Shaman Rarity: Common Echo

(3) Ratcatcher (2/2) Type: Minion Class: Warlock Rarity: Epic Rush. Battlecry: Destroy a friendly minion and gain its Attack and Health.

(4) Sandbinder (2/4) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Epic Battlecry: Draw an Elemental from your deck.

(4) Lifedrinker (3/3) Type: Minion - Beast Class: Neutral Rarity: Rare Battlecry: Deal 3 damage to the enemy hero. Restore 3 Health to your hero.

(1) Swamp Dragon Egg (0/3) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Deathrattle: Add a random Dragon to your hand.

Notes: These cards all fit into a different deck type. In particular, I like the idea of the Egg Warlock getting Ratcatcher and the Swamp Dragon Egg to go along with the other eggs in both Standard and Wild. Ratcatcher will also go great with Possessed Lackey.

Meanwhile, don't sleep on Ghost Light Angler to boost the Quest Shaman in a pinch. Its standalone stats also make it a perfectly serviceable 2-drop.

An Incredible Discovery!

(These are cards that don't quite fit in constructed/Ranked decks, but ones that you won't mind seeing off a Discover or RNG effect.)

(2) Snap Freeze Type: Spell Class: Mage Rarity: Common Freeze a minion. If it's already Frozen, destroy it.

(3) Cinderstorm Type: Spell Class: Mage Rarity: Rare Deal 5 damage randomly split among all enemies.

(1) Hidden Wisdom Type: Spell Class: Paladin Rarity: Epic Secret: After your opponent plays three cards in a turn, draw 2 cards.

(7) Nightscale Matriarch (4/9) Type: Minion - Dragon Class: Priest Rarity: Rare Whenever a friendly minion is healed, summon a 3/3 Whelp.

(0) Zap! Type: Spell Class: Shaman Rarity: Common Deal 2 damage to a minion. Overload: (1)

(8) Cauldron Elemental (7/7) Type: Minion - Elemental Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Your other Elementals have +2 Attack.

(2) Vicious Scalehide (1/3) Type: Minion - Beast Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Lifesteal. Rush

(1) Swamp Leech (2/1) Type: Minion - Beast Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Lifesteal

Notes: Snap Freeze is a great Mage spell, superior to Shatter in every way. Both this and Cinderstorm are great Mage pickups off a Discovery effect.

Nightscale Matriarch has some decent stats for its effect and will make a good Arena card. But finding it off an effect in the late game is certainly nothing to sneeze at on the ladder and nobody's going to turn down a potentially free 3/3 Whelp.

Don't look for me to dismiss any Neutral Beasts, especially for Hunter players. Vicious Scalehide could potentially be a great pickup off a Turn 1 Jeweled Macaw.

Arena Champions

(These are cards that don't quite work in constructed/Ranked decks, but will work beautifully in Arena mode.)

(5) Vilebrood Skitterer (1/3) Type: Minion - Beast Class: Hunter Rarity: Common Poisonous. Rush

(5) Carrion Drake (3/7) Type: Minion - Dragon Class: Hunter Rarity: Rare Battlecry: If a minion died this turn, gain Poisonous.

(5) Ghostly Charger (3/4) Type: Minion - Beast Class: Paladin Rarity: Common Divine Shield. Rush

(5) Quartz Elemental (5/8) Type: Minion - Elemental Class: Priest Rarity: Common Can't attack while damaged.

(3) Rabid Worgen (3/3) Type: Minion Class: Warrior Rarity: Common Rush

(5) Chief Inspector (4/6) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Rare Battlecry: Destroy all enemy Secrets.

(4) Night Prowler (3/3) Type: Minion - Beast Class: Neutral Rarity: Rare Battlecry: If this is the only minion in the battlefield, gain +3/+3.

(8) Deranged Doctor (8/8) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Deathrattle: Restore 8 Health to your hero.

(7) Furious Ettin (5/9) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Taunt

(3) Hench-Clan Thug (3/3) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Common After your hero attacks, give this minion +1/+1.

Notes: These minions offer either some great effects or some sturd late-game bodies. Hunter, especially, gets a nice one with a Poisonous minion that can immediately eliminate any large minion on the opposing side of the board.

Meanwhile, it's hard not to imagine many Arena players trying to grab Deranged Doctor whenever it's available. A good 8/8 body, along with all that healing is going to be a highly-desirable pickup.

Bottom of the Deck

(These are cards I don't foresee seeing much play in either constructed or Arena.)

(2) Squashling (2/1) Type: Minion Class: Priest Rarity: Common Echo. Battlecry: Restore 2 Health.

(2) Curse of Weakness Type: Spell Class: Warlock Rarity: Rare Echo: Give all enemy minions -2 Attack until your next turn.

(4) Fiendish Circle Type: Spell Class: Warlock Rarity: Common Summon four 1/1 Imps.

(1) Witchwood Imp (1/1) Type: Minion - Demon Class: Warlock Rarity: Common Stealth. Deathrattle: Give a random friendly minion +2 Health.

(4) Mad Hatter (3/2) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Rare Battlecry: Randomly toss 3 hats to other minions. Each hat gives +1/+1.

(7) Darkmire Moonkin (2/8) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Spell Damage +2

(7) Wyrmguard (3/11) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Battlecry: If you're holding a Dragon, gain +1 Attack and Taunt.

(4) Unpowered Steambot (0/9) Type: Minion - Mech Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Taunt

(4) Felsoul Inquisitor (1/6) Type: Minion - Demon Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Lifesteal. Taunt

(3) Marsh Drake (5/4) Type: Minion - Dragon Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Battlecry: Summon a 2/1 Poisonous Drakeslayer for your opponent.

(3) Walnut Sprite (3/3) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Echo

(3) Tanglefur Mystic (3/4) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Battlecry: Add a random 2-Cost minion to each player's hand.

(2) Lost Spirit (1/1) Type: Minion Class: Neutral Rarity: Common Deathrattle: Give your minions +1 Attack.

Notes: There's not a whole lot to get excited about with any of these cards. Maybe there's some potential in Mad Hatter if played in a Murloc/Dude Paladin deck.

I certainly don't know why Warlock, of all classes, is getting the Attack reduction spell. That's a round peg in a square hole. The Fiendish Circle spell isn't so much baffling as it is uninspired, as it's basically Imp-losion without the helpful damage effect.

Lastly, what can you say about a 7-Cost 2/8 other than, "Junk?"

And that's it! We've reached the end of all 135 cards. However, there's still one last piece of business to attend to before the expansion arrives. Come back tomorrow as I take a more detailed look at Hagatha the Witch. Hearthstone: The Witchwood officially releases on Thursday, April 12.
