An idea based on what's said here: instead of 0 health have a mechanic that instantly kills the minion on battlecry. Thus when the minion is played, it instantly dies.
On first feel it'll end up feeling like a spell when you do things like "Battlecry: instantly dies. Deathrattle, deal 2 damage to all minions" However, it does mean that it interacts differently with other cards. Recruiting it means it just turns into a normal minion. OTOH, it bypasses counterspell. OTOOH, it means anti-minion cards work against it. OTOOOH, other cards can interact with it: knifejuggler works, minions that react when a minion dies, so on.
It does let you do crazy things, like, a 2 mana 5/5 that dies instantly (thus you want to summon or recruit it). Or have an effect that attaches "dies instantly" to an opponent card in their hand. Thus your opponent now has, say, a mountain giant in their hand that just dies when played. You can even do wild stuff like "dies instantly, at the begginng of your turn revives and silences itself (so that it doesn't keep reviving :P).
Though essentually putting it as a battlecry makes it more intuitive. You may not know WHY you would want a minion that dies like that but you know it will if you use it.
A while back I randomly had the thought - could Hearthstone add 0 health minions into the game?
I immediately thought that it's actually impossible, but on second thought - it could have a deathrattle? But that idea sounds pretty stupid imo. Why make a card that needs to instantly die when being played?
I thought again and wondered if these types of minions would work if they had a magnetic effect? That'd remove the problem of them instantly dying, but then again, another magnetic card that will probably be used to hit the opponent's face is probably a bad idea.
Same. I'm mainly here for the 80 Quest Trading. Hopefully it gets carried over from HearthPwn.
So, we'll probably setup a temporary thread for it but we are going to build out a custom system for it since its so popular. Goal is to have reputation involved and any scammers end up permanently battle tag banned from it. There was still a small chance of scammers being seen on HearthPwn, no more once the system is in place here.
Yes! I'd love the reputation feature. I would like to see how other players are ranked before I add them. Non related - Is the trophy feature going to be implemented here in the future?
Wild is a bit crazy, but it's really varied before rank 4 as people can play anything.
If youve got cards from before the rotation, then I'd recommend you give wild a go! The meta is all over the place right now so it can be rewarding if you like that sort of thing.
You can check out wild meta reports on Vicious Syndicate, Tempo Storm and RankStar for inspiration. If you're interested in grinding rank 5 for the epics, then you can do so easily without spending much dust.
Thanks for the advice. I should have a bunch of cards laying around as I started playing Hearthstone before even Naxxramas and purchased packs for a lot of the past expansions. If there is one thing I keep seeing is that "Big Priest" deck. I see too much complaints on it. Also saw some Warlock shenanigans.
Haha. I will try it out sometime in the future like I said. I am looking for something entertaining as I've had too much Standard grind. Just let me hit top 1k already :(
I quite enjoyed the climb from R9-6 in wild this month using the new quest cyclone mage. Really fun to play, and the deck provides some insane moments. Think I had an almost 100% winrate against big priest too, which is a plus!
Hit a bit of a wall of aggro at 6 so finished the climb to rank 5 with odd paladin. Bit ashamed, but it was more efficient!
Haven't touched wild since the new nerfs but I'm interested for next season without all the Kingsbane running around!
Well done getting to rank 5 :D
Since I returned to HS again, I haven't touched the wild format. I've seen some things going on in there and it seems crazy. No clue what the meta even is over there. I might take a peak in the near future out of curiosity.
For me, it's been fairly great! I mean, the grind is a hassle and some matchups get really annoying and tedious, but I am managing to climb really well.
I took a really long break from HS and it's pretty fun getting back into it for the last couple months.
Anyway enough rambling, are you guys enjoying this season - and also, where do you rank currently in ladder? :)
I like it!

I've been playing lots of CW too this season, as last season I was playing only Mage. Kind of taking a break from that class for now.
Are you going to finish the climb to legend or gonna lay low?
Title.
