Why can't the animations be faster?

I just emptied my hand and played a Divine Favor against a Hunter with 2 cards in hand, just to find out that his secret triggered my Clockwork Gnome before my three mana vanilla cantrip resolved. 

I've had issues with not realizing secrets trigger since gvg came out.  I'm not actually sure whether it's too slow, or it's just the fact that I'm used to the older, more quick, secret animation.

There's a minor conspiracy theory that the slower activation of secrets is part of a Blizzard attempt to make Nozdormu viable in competitive play

The other part is that they fixed Nozdormu in this patch also

[ycz6]

The actual explanation is probably that the existence of Kezan Mystic necessitates an extra step in the logic, so that Kezan properly steals secrets like Mirror Entity and Snipe.

I didn't notice it was slower, I just blamed my own carelessness

Wait, so it's not just me that's seeing secrets activate slower. It's weird when it's a secret like Noble Sacrifice where the attacking minion still freezes on time, but then you wait a second for the secret to trigger. I KNOW it's Noble Sacrifice of my minion freezes like that Blizzard. Why do this to me?

Yeah I'm not sure why the secrets trigger slower. It's quite annoying. I've started to just wait 2 seconds after every play to be sure I don't misplay, but with secrets like Avenge and Mirror Entity it can serisly harm your play if you click before the trigger happens.

Hopefully they fixed Nozmordu's timer for real this time. Apparently they "fixed" the timer few times before, but it was still bugged.

They should revert it to where it screws your opponent's timer but not your own.  It's not like it's OP if it's like that.  And losing your turn because your own Sneed popped Nozdormu and you weren't prepared has gotta feel terrible.

Much like Goko, there needs to be a way to get rid of animations entirely.

I actually think the animations are good in general because of he RNG factor I like to see what is happening. Goblin blast mage is nice. It's fast, but you can tell where things are going. Avenging wrath is too slow, especially when it hits things with effects that then pause the animation to activate.

Maybe Nozdormu could just be removed from the random lists. The problem with Noz as I see it is that it punishes people who move the mouse slowly or play on iPad, injecting an element of physical dexterity that isn't present anywhere else and IMO makes the game worse. If Noz is just an ultra-weak gimmick card that hardly anyone runs, that's okay, but if he can show up in games where neither player chose to put him in their decks, I don't like it.

A more elegant solution is to change his text to "Battlecry: Nozdormu gains constant control over the turn timer, restricting it to 15 seconds".

Is there a good way to tell which minion gets duplicated when multiple are cleared at the same time?

Opponent had a mad scientist + 3 other minions on board. I cast lightning storm, clearing his board, his mad scientist gives him a duplicate, and the duplicate immediately pops. I have no idea which of the other minions is in his hand.

It's frustrating to play around, but should I know which one is in his hand? Is it the minion directly to the right of the mad scientist?

But this makes Alarm-o-bot and Ancestor's Call shenanigans impossible also.

If multiple minions die at once, they die in the order they were played, so the minion played right after Mad Scientist gets duplicated.

Not so sure about this. My observation is the death resolution processes from left to right of the player's observation of his minions.

Just played the first game on my phone. Not really smooth, but perfectly playable.

If you're looking to make an impractical deck that get nozdormu's effect out as fast as possible there is still ramp druid and farsight.  Summoning portal too

Was bugging Warsong Commander to not embolden Bloodsail Raider in the patch notes?

Warsong commander is bugged now. The 1/1's from Haunted Creeper don't get charge either, which made a huge difference in an arena game last night.

It's now available everywhere, they recommend re-installing with the "real" version.

I cannot imagine playing on a phone.  Nice on my Nexus 10 though.

Huh.  Maybe it was giving recombobulated things charge for some reason and they overfixed it
