I think there has been a mistake: why is this card for mages and not for shamans? What does a mage have to do with a volcano? I think this card should be Living Bomb
That destroys any prestige of owning golden/diamond reward cards that cannot be crafted.
I don't care about such things, but apparently some people do, and it seems Blizzard definitely does.
Well, reality tells us that it is precisely Blizzard itself who has already destroyed any trace of prestige or exclusivity in the game in order to earn more money...
There are already a multitude of card backs and hero portraits that were supposed to be exclusive or indicators of prestige or seniority in the game and, however, have been given practically for free to everyone.
It is very obvious when a company is mainly dedicated to milking its customers for money, rather than offering good service and making them feel happy and fulfilled with its products. They certainly have their priorities clear.
I still don't understand how the concept of "undisenchantable" exists. I personally consider it a shame, an insult to our freedom to manage our resources however we want.
My suggestions:
- There are no longer undisenchantable cards, nor normal nor golden, so we can disenchant and create any card as we want and whenever we want, whatever its origin (except for diamond or uncraftable cards).
- From now on, any golden card (as those given away "for free") will be considered as a “wildcard card”, since we can disenchant it and obtain the exact amount of arcane dust to make a normal card of the same rarity of our choice, or if you are a collector of golden cards, you can keep them for cosmetic reasons, saving the arcane dust it would cost you to make them (twice that for a normal one).
- All the cards that we get from any source other than obtaining them when opening a pack (rewards track, arena, duels, end-of-month rewards, events, etc.) will be golden cards, that is, mere wildcards for any card in the game of the same rarity that we want/need to craft (or raw arcane dust to invest in crafting cards of other rarities that we do not yet have).
Stop whitewashing Blizzard and accusing the player-base, you should feel bad for doing so.
Reality is stubborn: Bli$$ard is killing Hearthstone just like they killed WoW
I just hope that after the last events people open their eyes and can finally understand that the only thing that Blizzard is interested in is making easy money, nothing more. Unfortunately, gone are the days when they intended to make good games.
Anyway, there will be no lack of bootlickers and fanboys who will continue to waste large sums of money in this company, after all, someone has to pay for all those lawyers...
Comments like these belong in the toxic pile. No game developer ever wants their game to fail. Team 5 isn't intentionally trying to sabotage their own game coz that wouldn't benefit anyone. If Blizzard didn't want HS to succeed, they would've moved most of the developers onto other projects, like they did with Heroes of the Storm and StarCraft 2. Instead, they've given us 3 new game modes in the space of 3 years (Battlegrounds, Duels and now Mercenaries). They are pushing out more content now than they have in the past because they want the game to succeed! Yes, they do have their faults like not reacting quickly enough to a polarizing meta or not giving Wild enough love, but they not sitting on their hands doing nothing at all either.
Let's see, nobody in his right mind is going to deliberately make a bad product to bring it to failure: it would be very stupid (and even more stupid would be that someone can come to think that this can happen).
Obviously they intend to make a "decent" game, the real problem is that they are so incompetent that they are damaging themselves, with their anodine decisions are killing the game they should save.
The very foolish are not aware that they are digging their own grave at every step they give. But what gives authentic cringe are those white knights coming to the rescue of the poor indie company, it's pathetic.
(For all the haters who shoot me full of negatives simply because I'm not whitewashing Bli$$ard as the rest: each negative of yours is an authentic honor, I am very proud of having a critical and nonconformist attitude and nothing makes me happier in the world than sulking a ridiculous fanboy. Thanks)

They seem desperate, clearly Activision needs money to pay all those defense attorneys... Come on guys, they need your money!
The expansion came out just a week ago and they are already milking customers with an overpriced bundle?Pathetic...But do you know what is even more pathetic?Paying money for the current state of the game.Maybe Blizzard should worry about fixing the game first, before milking us for cash...
This game costs more than any other game if you buy all the bundles for each expansion... and even then you are not guaranteed to have the complete collection. I'm sure Blizzard is easily milking some people 500 to 1000 bucks a year, which is absurd.
I'm a whale, I'm addicted to buying all the bundles for the mere fact of buying everything they put on sale, but enough is enough, I can't give them so much money anymore when I see all these women and men treated like shit. Also, when I see that Bobby receives a $ 100,000,000 bonus, it means that I am paying too much for his product. I'm not going to be a part of this greedy mob. Not anymore.
However, in the hypothetical case that it is possible to access these logs, are only registered the actions that are taken? Like which cards have been played or which minions have died...
Because the interesting thing for a bot would be to know how to interpret the graphical interface in real time, such as knowing what cards I have in my hand or what minions are in play.
In any case, Blizzard will undoubtedly take action on the matter against this mod, as in its current conditions it injects code into the executable and that breachs Blizzard rules. Hopefully Blizzard can implement this feature themselves and integrate it into the game and thus make this fantastic idea come true.

I did not mean to say that this mod is "necessary" to create bots, but that it is a great help for creating intelligent bots.
The point is that this mod not only allows you to control the game with keyboard commands (which greatly facilitates the work for a bot as you say) but it is also capable of interpreting the graphical interface (knowing what cards I have in hand,the minions, etc.), that is, thanks to this mod, as a programmer I can know everything that happens in the game and I can create an algorithm that knows how to respond to each situation, it is not that difficult.
Therefore, no, it would not be a bot that ignores what the other player does, but rather the opposite: a bot that "sees" the state of the game at all times and choose itself the best possible move, and in this way, winning is not that difficult, a bot can easily beat you at chess for example.
And obviously you are right: as I said before, it is very easy for Blizzard to detect whether the executable of the game has been altered and to ban the account immediately. Because I remember you, altering the executable of any game by injecting code is forbidden by Blizzard rules and is a direct and permanent ban.
Exactly, thank goodness someone who can see the problem!
This mod is a sort of interpreter or intermediary with the graphical interface (both inbound and outbound): a blind person can play the game, but also an algorithm!
And well, regarding whether or not an intelligent bot can reach legend... well, the standard mode is currently pretty straightforward, so it would be very easy to program an algorithm to play a specific overpowered deck (and we have a couple of them).
I'm afraid I have to insist: this would change everything.
Smart bots were banned by Blizzard many years ago, and thousands of accounts were banned. Blizzard's "excuse" for banning them was precisely that they injected code into the executable (which is precisely what this "mod" does), which violates Blizzard's rules. This type of bots no longer exist nowadays, as it's very easy to detect them (a checksum of the executable would suffice) and the ban of the account would be immediate.
The bots that still exist today are repetition bots, that is, they do not think for themselves, they only limit themselves to following a series of serial orders, since they only interact with the graphical interface blindly.
As a programmer, I could create an intelligent bot thanks to this "mod" in 10 minutes, since this mod would allow me to bypass the graphical interface and directly collect the information I need to know everything: what cards are in my hand, how much mana I have, what are the minions in play and where are they, etc ...
What's more, this "mod" would allow my bot to interact with the game without using the mouse, just sending keyboard commands, and therefore I could be doing anything while my bot makes me reach legend in a couple of days and level 400 in no more than a month.
In short, Blizzard will NEVER allow this project to continue as a "mod", unless they do it themselves and integrate it into the game, but I think it's pretty obvious that won't happen.
No drops?
Marvellous, where is my pack?
And what about the opposite?
When will we be able to downgrade a golden card to normal and keep the extra dust?

Cookie the Cook is a legendary card because... ¿?
C'mon guys! All those lawyers are not going to work for free!
Bli$$ard need your money, they deserve it: the compensations for so many years of harassment, humiliation and fraudulent practices are substantial.
Remember that the ingame shop is overflowing with the many things in which you can donate all the money that still you have left.
No free packs, no interest at all, thanks
