The Pen Flinger nerf might do more than you think. There were so many times where I just needed to hang on for one more turn to swing the match, but that chip damage to my face was just too much. Adding a bit of survivability goes a long way.
I actually appreciate that you didn't disable comments. I feel like the OOC community can handle this kind of topic for the most part. I doubt the other HS fan site will even post an article, as they seem very risk averse overall.
Neutrals are pretty easy to guess. Both the popular Watchposts are clearly way more common than they want them to be. Pen Flinger is most certainly getting the boot now.
Regarding Watch Posts, I don’t think play rate is a good enough reason alone for a nerf. Especially considering that they are neutral, so they will obviously be more common. Just look at Zilliax, Khartut Defender, among other popular defensive neutrals.
At this point, they feel balanced to me, both playing with them and against them. I also like the concept and creativity, so I’d like them to live freely for awhile.
Are the Watch Post cards really that big of a deal in terms of needing a nerf? Personally I don’t mind them, and I’d rather they leave them be for awhile. Hopefully when they say Neutral they are just referencing Pen Flinger.
I saw this on Twitter, and I think it's gotten lost in the shuffle of all the shiny new content - but just wanted to send a reminder that the old Ysera from the classic set is currently eligible for a full dust refund. Get that dust!
I see your true colors shining through!
This is really all we need to know.
Zoinks!
Eh, it was mainly a Professor Putricide reference, hollering back at Flux's opening statement ;)

"That was unexpected!"
Best guess is typically 10am PST but honestly it could be whenever.
Big ups to the man with no hands
And the Grandmaster plans
He likes electro-swing bands
And opens up cans....
....of whoop-ass.
Congrats NHG!
Davidwizard, this is the best take I’ve read, very eloquently stated and I agree on all points. So thanks!

Heeeeeeyyy yoouuuu guyyysssss!
I always hear “drop” like this:
Ah, tweaking the requirements so that we can't go fully AFK, but just lowkey AFK. Adding the progress monitor is a nice touch though.
Big ups for this one!
Never dust a Golden Lightshower.
