So if I didn’t complete the second pack, it’ll be available during theorycrafting? Which… cool I guess. I got on halfway through the scheduled 1 hour stream due to work stuff. Thought I had enough time to still get both packs, but then they ended early
Remember, fun is a subjective thing. You seem like the type that only finds fun in winning as many games as possible. And that's fine. Personally, I have my Legend card back and have reached the rank on multiple occasions, and that's enough for me. So now I personally like playing a lot of different stuff, trying new things, etc. And I stick by my comments even if you can't understand why I might try to play this card at some point. Just because the meta is X doesn't mean Y isn't possible. Not every player on the ladder just searches a Tier list and picks the best thing on it to play.
Comparing Halveria and Flag Runner seems misguided. Flag Runner gives itself attack, while Halveria gives all of your minions, I assume including itself, +1 when a Rush minion attacks. So if you are lucky enough to have a bunch of rush minions survive a turn, you drop Halveria and send those minions to Face, watching them get stronger with each hit from a friendly Rush. So is it a one of that costs 1 more? Yes. But it’s effect has much more burst damage potential!
In wild, no matter what minions you have on board you can drop Halveria and Broom to make them all Rush minions. Similar to how the ETC, God of Metal combo works.
I’m not saying it’ll be meta, or even good. But theoretically it’s possible! And possible is all some players need to make it happen (or die 600 times trying at least)!
Tenwu bounced one minion and made it cost 1. This bounces everything, making it cost 1. Along with the weapon that can refresh a bunch of mana if buffed up you could potentially do some crazy battlecry/combo effects multiple times. And with the other Rogue legendary spell we got recently, you could effectively bounce things twice!
Play Alex, break weapon for a bunch of mana, prep, bounce, alex again, shadow of demise, alex again. A potential 24 burst damage turn late. In Wild with other cost reduction tools, Brann/Shark, this could get nutty
Yeah. I like that the reveal schedule is up, but linking to the old MotLK schedule and expansion page, mixed with the lack of over all content and updates for the game page are more than a little concerning.
If you guys are done with the game and don’t want to cover it anymore, at least just say so. That way I’ll know definitively if I should start going elsewhere for HS coverage
I did kind of think they’d do a band per class too. But multiclass bands with a legendary for each band member as opposed to each getting the “frontman” as their legendary seemed like more fun!
Okay, hear me out… Battle of the Bands! Two, three, or four “bands” involved, creating a faction for each band, similar to Gagetzan! Meaning multi-class cards coming back for this expansion. Different theme/mechanic for each band!
I have also noted the lack of updates on the site lately. I’ve also been guilty of being less active over the last year or more.
This is mostly because I like to play fun Wild decks, and Wild hasn’t had much room for that lately. So my time spent building fun Wild decks has decreased. Leading to less engagement on community sites like OoC.
Sorry that this is happening to you, but the fact of the matter is that your opponent is not required to sit there until you pull off this or any combo. Same applies to if they know they are dead and can't win. That is why there is a Concede button. Stuff like this happens, like when I drop a charging 10/10 Death Beetle about to destroy my opponent with it for the achievement and then they leave before it connects. So what do I do when that stuff happens? I go to the next game.
I think if Classic performed better they might. I’m not positive, but I think the initial engagement was high, then took a very sharp drop very quickly. They likely won’t invest much time in Classic just to see it have players abandon it after a month or so again.
Last time I tried playing Classic it took me over 2 min to find a match.
Many people, myself included, really enjoy Wild. But it is reaching a state where there are so many really powerful, synergistic cards that only a few decks are dominating the scene. And the options for climbing are either hyper aggro or busted mana cheating combos. The idea of a third format being “like Wild but with bans” or a rotating format that includes old sets is not a new concept either. I think a lot of Wild players have been asking for it over the years, and as Wild has evolved to its current state that sentiment has gained steam

Just an FYI, the main game page for Hearthstone still has all the March of the Lich King links above the latest article post.
Yeah! How dare Hearthstone break Warcraft canon.

At first I saw Black Rock n Roll like “… Wut?” But then I thought of C'Thun! Will probably still suck, but that’s never stopped me from trying before!
I honestly love a good Tree Druid deck!

I'm sure Warlock will like having a few extra chances to draw an early Rod as well.
What’s that, Wild Druids? You want more chances to draw your Twig and Sphere?! Well as it turns out, I got just the thing for you!

So far the two unexpected interactions on this post are not surprising at all.
You must not be aware of OutOf.Games
Not sure how long that site has existed, but it’s been a while.

Take this for next time you get frustrated by opponents.
