Whelp, you pretty much sold me on buying this game now... and I thought I had a fortitude to wait it out until it was on sale.

Why don’t you just paint the black WiiU Premium with white spray paint? Probably $5 and problem solved. I did this to my NES back in the day so that its color would match the color of my Wii.

Patron warrior is still viable, you just have to replace warsong with Dr. Boom and Grommash (thus raising cost the dust cost by 3200)
