I would love to see them expand on the parasite theme. There's also Parasite Paranoid and who knows what other disgusting art could come out of that

Props on the article but...you're out of your mind if you think Lightbomb at 5 is reasonable. Even in Wild that's be offensive (I run it in Wild Questline Priest, a meme deck, and it destroys). It's a more predictable and generally more powerful boardclear than Mass Hysteria, it deserves to be more expensive as a result.

I love the flavour of the stealth keyword for Blackwater Behemoth, he is hidden and you can only see the Behemoth's Lure. 5/5 for avalon!

Am I alone in thinking Blackwater Behemoth is actually great already? Practically every time I play it it puts in some serious work, and I recall Zeddy looking through the colossals and recognising the card actually had a good win rate, but the surrounding decks didn't. I.e. the problem is that it is only one card in a weak deck, and the deck would be better served by being made stronger elsewhere.

very good strategies this post is very helpful for me.  I will be joyful if you read it and accept it. Thank you for your concern. I am currently working on a senior writer at assignment writing company in Dubai.

I like that someone wants to add Stealth to the Behemoth but wouldn't it reveal itself at the end of the turn? They have changed the mechanic to reveal whenever damage is received - at least in Mercenaries.

The only thing here worth mentioning is the true fact that blizzard is not publishing the true odds for legendaries/epics and instead we, the audience, have to piece this out from statistical averages based on our own pack openings. Im always up for transparency, especially when lootboxes/card packs come so close if not completely the same as gambling in real life - only without machetes and red paint involved.

As for the story itself, well, let's have the facts here according to the article;

- The parent of a child are proposing a suit on blizzard for “unlawful, deceptive, and misleading” tactics used by the company to entice minors into buying packs in a hopeless pursuit for good cards only to get “valueless Cards that players already have or do not want.”

- This is based on a total 300 bucks spent between 2019 - 2021. The minor have spent it on her parent's credit card without consent

The problem here is that this is hardly the first time (nor will it ever be the last) that advertising strategies have been utilized to make something look much better than it actually is. I mean, politics itself is based entirely on spectacle not cold hard facts. A car advert typically spews loads of garbage, requiring its user to actually do some work to find out the specs. Even the famous XX.99 cents is based entirely on the idea that people look at dollars not cents when making decisions. So in this case, what exactly have blizzard done illegally in order to mislead its customers when buying packs? That's not spelled out.

And then there's also the problem that the amount spent was 300 bucks, within three years. Hardly a predatory amount, and certainly could be a whole lot worse, which suggest that the minor in question have at least average intelligence, does not suffer from any mental illness, and aren't pushed into buying anything she sees.

As for the morality of it...well, I kinda blame her parents more if Im honest. Firstly, why even save your credit card details in there in the first place. And secondly, I thought the whole point of parenting actually involves at least a small amount of monitoring. Blizzard, and doubtless many other merchants, are greedy as fuck; surely a mature grownup should be wise to that and educate their children on the dangers of falling to scams.

And lastly, this case will likely be either dropped or dismissed. Its not the first time Ive seen lootboxes being on trial, and this is perhaps one of the flimsiest suit in my opinion. The parent will save more time and money educating his child, and himself, on how the world works than pursuing this fantasy. Lootboxes may be a scourge of the modern gaming age, but the fight is political, not legal.

@AeroJulwin About the rare version of the Marine Biologist, I was assuming he would only show you two options if you run two types, or simply draw a card if you only run one. Thus, you can use it in a mono type deck, but you'd lose flexibility.

Right, not sure what I was thinking. Both are good options then, but I see the Rare version doing better. It makes for more interesting deckbuilding.

Here you go, I didn't make this by the way :

Like go off meta and try running kegs, or Karma, or Asol, or Vlad, or braum, or garen, or tf, or Nami, or Fizz, or Lux…I can do this all day.

Wait you are saying that not all champions are viable? Wow I am chocked.

Like seriously there was never a meta in this game were everything is viable and that's the case for every card game out there you need to stop with this dumb argument already.

Aggro being viable is not the same as you claiming that everything is agressive that like saying all the meta decks are control because FTR is one the best decks and let's not get into the Pantheon is an aggro deck because that just destroyed what little credibility you have left.

Nerfs will go live basically at the same time as the patch notes

I got that!

I was wondering if the nerfs went live when they will reveal it, to have some time to play before the cards are nerfed

I'm hoping it's a card game but not too keen on another hero collector like the Mercs mode. Ofc most of these devs and Brode left Blizzard long before Mercs was even thought of so I'm leaning more towards maybe a card game similar to LoR where you have the Marvel heroes and they have their own ability cards.

Looks like a bullsh... erh, bovinewaste case. 

The kid spent $300 over 3 years on packs...

The article says the Blizzard is hiding the rates of cards in packs which is not true, even they put the image where is a [i]  button showing details. 

Basically the kid stole the money from his parents to buy cards. 

It's not strictly the focus of their lawsuit, but ultimately they're suing because of "over $300 on Hearthstone between 2019 and 2021". So, basically the kid bought less than the small pre-order each expansion for a few years, and the parent has enough disposable income to not even notice in that time? I don't know how old the kid was, but either they shouldn't have been let anywhere near a credit card, or they were old enough to know to spend 5 minutes Googling the odds and the whole argument that they were too young to understand the odds is utter bs.

HS should always have listed the odds in the client somewhere, but if that was a serious issue they would have been forced into adding this long before 2019. So to me it just looks like a stereotypical American conjuring up lawsuits about anything and everything.

Fully agree! Keep it up guys

The same connection Vanndar has with big minions. They simply have opposite effects (synergy with small vs. big) because they are of opposing factions.

will it have strong empowered bold and brave characters to push the MESSAGE aka Narative i can't wait to get a unhealthy dose of that POOP in my video games!

@AeroJulwin About the rare version of the Marine Biologist, I was assuming he would only show you two options if you run two types, or simply draw a card if you only run one. Thus, you can use it in a mono type deck, but you'd lose flexibility. I think it's best suited for a mono type deck that runs one (or both) of the other types, like a Naga deck with Slimescale Diver and a Colossal Beast or (in Wild) a Murloc deck with Gentle Megasaur. This way, you can always get your tech/finisher cards, while still making sure the Battlecry always does something.

Have you seen the box office numbers for the last Spiderman and Dr Strange??? 

People have predicted superherofatigue for 10 years now and Spiderman still made almost 2 billion this winter

I don't think nerfing Questline Hunter is enough just by what you suggest, it still remains an easy target to accomplish from 6 spells to 7 spells, and it's still remains a Solitaire deck. My suggestion is to stop giving quest reward a 0 cost Hero Power.

Seems like Hunter doesn't really have anything else to offer than a meta from Stormwind. It's getting boring to face QL Hunter always all the time. I would say the same to QL Warrior, but I often saw Control Warrior in ranked, so at least it's acceptable.

EDIT. And I also would like to point out that Paladin spells 2 mana draw 5 is still ridiculous, even if it's not always draw 5, 2 mana drawing 3 can be considered too OP. It deserves a nerf at some point.

Only change Nellie needs is make it only able to generate pirates that cost 5 mana or less. 

I really like the idea of this series.

I FOUND A SOLUTION!

I disabled QoS (Quality of Service) settings on my router and the constant disconnects stopped happening. Let me know if this helps!
