Barbarian
Trait #3: Barbaric Fury
Gain 3 Attack when matching Red Gems.
If that trait stays… 
wow… the orc class might be the worst class in the game
edit: they changed the nice sounding Ice Rift to … Frostfire Keep. Eh.

I was actually wondering whether the person setting up the spell intended to pick “Stun” and accidentally selected the adjacent “Submerge”.
Probably because they waited 5+ years to come out with it…
1st position with Root Trap and 20% Dodge might be ok if enemy doesn’t have Cedric medal(s). And there weren’t dozens of better options for 1st position. I doubt Artema’s Dexterous (40%) would add enough survivability. 65% ‘Ignore all wounds (skulls)’ might.
I liked your trait ideas. There are still 73 days until 07 Feb; plenty of time to fix it. Except there will most likely be plenty of bugs to fix with future updates. Any word on that Vash’dagon in delve bug? Just saying.
That was my thought too (or if matches were allowed to occur between each round of creation, uniquely to Vespera), there’s no other possible justification for the massive nerfing that has been meted out to the poor genie queen.
Even then, at 26 mana cost, I don’t think she’d be worth using for small boosts to random stats plus some board control. Especially with that trait set.
It feels like a Friday, so I will get a jump on next week’s troops. Gravitas is another Whitehelm troop dependent on its target being a daemon or undead; pity, as we could use a targeted blue mana drainer. Despite having the useful holy armor trait, it seems underpowered for an epic in this day and age.
And then there’s Shahbanu Vespera. Losing the buff to all ally stats just killed this troop, who is now arguably worse than Stonehammer (in terms of mythics whose sole job is mana generation).
Can someone tell me a bit about Baited Pet Gnome and what is the difference between him and Pet Gnome?

It won’t escape, this is for sure.
On top of that, supposedly, pets it gives will narrow down to a set of pets, not the entire pool.
If that is true, I wonder what the criteria is going to be. A soulforge style rotation seems too complicated, a specific color seems too broad, the kingdom of the week might be too limiting. Whatever it is, I actually wouldn’t mind if you could get the cosmetic pets from those.
Where do you see what we’re getting a new gnome?
In spoilers from Taran, as usual.

I checked before asking, but checked again. Thanks. I skipped over it on first check.
Okay folks, looks like we’re in for another wild ride! Datamining has revealed a bunch of new localization strings, so get ready to spoil the update! There’s not a ton here, but what’s available is interesting.
And yes, this does mean that 4.7 is coming pretty soon. No idea when though.
Version 4.7
By viewing this spoiler I hereby agree to deprive Salty of her delicious coffee, leaving her tired and sad during future streams.

I assume there’s 100 common troops in the game. The only thing that makes it possible.
Do I have to count or is the way to check? Lol

That’s actually unbelievable. I have absolutely no idea how multiple people agreed that that was a good idea.
How many hours does this take if you only do commons? 300 Cedric medals.
101 common
133 rare
158 ultra rare
213 epic
102 legendary
46 mythic
cross referenced on gowdb, so I’m not 100% certain on its accuracy.
Admittedly, commons/rares/ultra-rares aren’t that difficult, but… F.
Also, think of the soul cost.

Everyone in that room has 10 medals combined tops. Assuming there was 10 devs in the room.

Lets wait at least until Update 5, they already told us, this current implementation is just the basis.
Last hope…
