The Chinese president can't stand being compared to Winnie the Pooh. AFAIK the name is censored quite heavily on the chinese internet. I assume Flux put Winnie there as a silent protest against Blizzard tacitly enforcing chinese censorship on their platform.
Ooh, crap. I had a miscellaneous Warlock card, then removed it, then forgot to put something in its place. Depending on whether you face off against more Control or Aggro, I suggest Gnomeferatu or Shriek, respectively.
God damn Frost Lich Jaina is shit-tier design. Tell me Blizzard, why should I play the quest or any other Hero Power changing cards when the best hero power and battlecry in the game are both piled up in one card? Tell me Blizzard, why should I interact with the enemy board if he is playing control mage, since that clearly means the odds of me losing from turn 9 onwards will only increase?
It's shit for the deckbuilder. It's shit for gameplay. It's shit for mirrors. It isn't lost on me how often this atrocity has been banned from Tavern Brawls. Even the games that I win with it make me retch.
I dislike this one. It's underwhelming to have waited for the ultimatedatacollection on Blizzard's behalf for it to just end with a meager one mana increase.
This is honestly sad because now Blizzard has proven that they care about Wild mode, but they've also missed the mark completely and Wild players will once more have to wait for a whole bunch of months until hope resurfaces that they will give Big Priest the kick it really deserves.
Fuck this game. TWICE, Blizzard. You've made my pity timer go to the single digit TWICE in the same fucking month. Once for Uldum and once for Classic. Absolutely disgusting.
Anyone remembers this Schrutebucks guy from Hearthpwn who was responsable for ~50% posts of the salt thread? Is Kaladin actually Schrutebucks? Sure sounds like him lol.
He is.
EDIT: But also, just leave the guy be. I mean, everyone has the right to be pissed off at the game, regardless of frequency. Honestly, if everyone vented like him, OOC and Hpwn would have a lot fewer shitposts.
Death by shit draws is the worst way to lose in this game. Give my enemy BS topdecks if you want, make me unable to answer every single cancerous 1-drop out there...
but
please
Blizzard,
Never, ever force me to just watch the game playing out like a helpless cuckold by slamming the cheap half of my deck on its bottom. Anything else, literally. I won't mind facing nothing but Odd Paladins and Mill Rogues without enough brain cells to rub together, but make Death By Shit Draws STOP!
Just give me a nice warning at the start like: "Uh oh, looks like your top 7 cards cost 5 or more mana. Would you like to concede now?" At least then I'll get the minimum of agency,
It's just so... boring. Summoning 20 minions is like... the least class-specific quest yet. I feel no urge to deckbuild around it because the requirements are quite literally built into ANY regular hunter gameplay already. Now, most other quests work in a similar way, but this one goes a step further by making the reward boring too. If the reward was interesting, like Raid the Sky Temple or even Supreme Archaeology, I'd forgive it, but like this it just sparks no interest in me.
Hack the System comes close, because, once more, the reward and the quest itself are boring.
All other quests are fair game because, even if they are bad, I can think of decks to build around them, and that's really all I ask for with these sort of build-around legendaries: make them either fun to complete and build around, or make their reward fun in itself.
Hmmm... I have a bad feeling about the quests in this expansion. Playing so many games against Odd and Even decks makes me realize how stupid the idea of early upgrades to hero powers are.
Early hero power changes almost always break the game in half (remember when T6 Justicar Trueheart was considered a devastating moment?), and I really dislike putting win conditions in hero powers as a design concept (even through Fire Plume's Heart or Death Knights). Baku and Genn shouldn't have been printed, and soon enough we'll get some new hero powers that might do exactly the same as they did.
If I am right, though, Blizzard, I beg you, do not just pack it into Wild. Just nerf the mistakes into the ground like you should.
I don't like how it will only grant you cards from Classic and Basic sets. I get that it's difficult to add other sets to the AI but... meh, Hall of Fame will gradually make this card worse IMO.
How many fucking board clears and heals does a man need to draw just to stomp out the sheer cancer that are murlocs?!
Reno, Kazakus, Flamestrike, DK Jaina, Dragon's Breath, Explosive Sheep, and I still only won by the skin of my teeth. What the fuck is wrong with these inbred frogs? Why is Blizzard still shitting them out every expac?
Damn... That's brilliant!

Damn. I'm surprised at how nice most of you are being about the misplay. This community really has grown past Hearthpwn.

I've wanted a Two-Headed Giant mode for ages, but I recognize it is incredibly difficult these days.
Cooperative would be a nice way to test it though.
Give us a boss like Ramaz from MTG 2014 and you could see how players bring their decks together or how badly exploited the mode would be.
Big Priest on the main page...
Sorry Flux, you know I love ya. But I also hate BP too much not to mention it :P

Quoting the Critical Drinker: "What a waste."
Good to know Blizzard is not arrogant enough to ignore their mistake and instead admit it. I support this nerf.

Oh, it's because sometimes Shadow Essence brings out Barnes or Weasel Tunneler and you might want to kill them instead of transforming them.
Hardly necessary, but I haven't regretted using it so far.

Sherman, my Doppelgangster! It's wonderful news to know you're a survivor of the Great Hearthpwn Migration as well.
Now all that remains is waiting until OOC gets a follower system and we can remain bound forever once more!

Still going to craft it as soon as I can though.
