​​Whatever you're thinking heading into tomorrow's release of Hearthstone's latest expansion, Whispers of the Old Gods, you've got to hand it to Blizzard, they went for it. They really went for it. 

This set doesn't have any of those foot-off-the-gas vibes that accompanied last year's Grand Tournament. Lots of these cards share the creative, deceptively powerful kind of effects that were introduced in League of Explorers, which changed Hearthstone in a lot of unexpected ways. With a good chunk of LoE being slept on (and another sizable portion seeing zero play), I don't think there's ever been a set that is coming with as much anticipation. 

A baker's dozen from THL weigh in on what they love, what they hate, and what's going to surprise us from The Old Gods. There's plenty of worry mixed in with the excitement, perhaps best expressed through the very divisive Yogg-Saron, Hope's End the old god that casts a buttload of random spells at random targets.

Will this card be fun? Will this card be infuriating? Will it make you question the very validity of this game from a competitive perspective? I'm pretty sure we don't have to wait for tomorrow to know the answer to those questions, it's an answer which applies to so much of this great game, it's yes.

​Cho'Gall, whilst probably not powerful, it fits the theme of warlock so organically and still breathes new life into the class. --Killajive

I love Cho'Gall. I think his card text and design is super cool. Enabling Warlock to health for tempo is neat. Not sure if he'll be playable but I dig him. --Mainge

Evolve, it's a full on heal and it makes your minions even stronger. Its like a spare part gone Super Saiyan. --Detrucci

Darkshire Alchemist. Auchenai Soulpriest is one of my favorite cards, and this puts a Flash Heal on a very decent body. --Gideoneko

​I love Fandral Staghelm. It reminds me of Brann in a way that it's still a solid minion even if you can't get the value out of it, however, if it lives, there are several strong combos you can pull off, such as 4 damage draw a card wrath or 4/6 taunt with charge. --cheesee10

Fandral Staghelm. 3/5 is decent for a 4 drop and the multiple choose 1 value could help druid with card advantage. --SmokedSalmon

Fiery Bat. It fills the much need 1 drop slot for midrange hunter with webspinner leaving. I think it will be an auto include in all hunter decks for the next two years. --MVParker

Well what a finals it was, stream was crazy and to end the entire season on a double deathwing and 3 golden monkeys...it doesn't get much more crazy than that. A huge pat on the back for everyone who took part in season 2. What a major success it was for the entire community and for THL.

On What Would You Do? - We have some rules that you must follow

Here we are put in the hands of a Midrange Druid, the current score for the series is 2-2 and this is the deciding game. But we have an interesting turn coming up.... Our opponent is a Warrior and has a Death's Bite equipped and an Armoursmith on the board

In this match we have a Renolock and we are up against Control Warrior. Sylvanas Windrunner has been dropped on the board by the Warrior. We have quite a few options for this turn. What is the play you would make?

2 Shredders at the same time? For many players, this would not be an easy turn. What is the best way to go about this one?
