Every week we release an article deconstructing exactly where the meta is at, and how to counter it. Have you ever wondered though about how that happens? Why exactly does the meta change the way it does? That’s exactly what this episode of the Forge is for, we’ll discuss what’s been happening this week and how its been changing the meta, both with last weeks new cards, and the ones just released.

Welcome (back) to The Irronsmith! We’ve been writing informative and useful guides and articles so far, but today we wanted to try something a bit different. Some topics just don’t lend themselves to a text-based format, and we thought we could cover them much better as an audio-podcast, so we gave it a go! Below is all of our thoughts on the new League of Explorers cards, our review of how they will fit into the current meta, whether they will likely be played and in which decks. At the end we’ll also wrap up with a quick segment on how we think the meta is going to be affected by this expansion. We need your feedback! As a trial run, we need to know if you guys like this, particularly: If the audio format is useful to you (being able to listen to it while playing, or driving/exercising) If you found the information useful If you found it enjoyable to listen to Please leave us a comment, or send us a message, seriously, it would help us out tons, we’re really committed to producing great content for you. Also you’ll be hearing from a new Irronsmith member, Damo “Runner” Ryan. And now, here it is: (Notes, cards & time-stamps below.) Warning: Occasional swearing. **We haven’t been able to publicize this as we normally do, so if you think its good content, we’d love if you shared it to get it out there. Thanks heaps! Notes Museum Curator: I read this card text slightly wrong, and thought it read Discover a 3-drop Deathrattle minion – probably got it confused with Jeweled Scarab in my mind. This card instead reads discover a Deathrattle minion, any Deathrattle minion. This obviously makes the card worse as you aren’t guaranteed to curve out and have a smaller chance of finding an impactful Deathrattle. Discover: On a reddit post I read this morning it was discovered that Discover is weighted hugely to find class cards – for the specific class you’re playing. Apparently cards like Jeweled Sacarab and Dark Peddler have a 400% weight on finding class cards. This obviously increases the value of some of these cards particularly Dark Peddler in Warlock. Warlock has a lot of very strong 1-drop options and it’s weight on discovering Class cards may push into viability (although I still don’t think its the best thing ever).
