They once again caved in on gold players crying about week 1 classes that are generally known to perform well in unrefined metas. Watch paladin and warrior become tier 3 and therefore bad classes since that's the only decks they have. Now they will cry about warlock and hunter. Never pleased and balance team is just clueless
Certain things shouldve been addressed, like ticking module which seems almost an auto pick for nearly any and all zilliax. But Im less happy about the nerfs for paladin. All they needed to do is just remove windfury from shroomscavate. Even the plushy nerf seems like a nerf candidate simply because it has been performing well but not in consideration for what it offers the class.
Other nerfs;
- Awakening tremors might see the tokens be 3/1s. Any mana nerf here will immediately nuke the card
- Thrall's gift will almost certainly remove lightning bolt from the list of selections. Its quite funny actually how easily shaman just OTK people with some of the cheapest deck ever because of the easy availability of damage spells.
- Odyn will be nerfed to 9. I cant see how team5 can balance it other than increasing its mana cost.
10 mana would not be a harsh nerf for a rest-of-game effect that nearly ensures inevitability and has no other prerequisites. I wish they could do more, but I don't think they will.
I am having some success with the hero power package in a dragon deck. Sing-Along Buddy plus the refresh from Popular Pixie provides a lot of bust damage (and armor gain if you need it).
I wonder how they're going to nerf Odyn. 10 mana? Seems harsh. Less stats? Barely matters. His effect can't really be adjusted without a full rework, so I dunno what else?
I couldn't agree more! Passwords are quickly becoming old fashioned and I'll be looking to integrate passkeys support into the site down the line to help with that.
I've already made a thread about this, but here goes:
- go to the Community tab on the main page, then click on any page number down below (e.g. 4)
Expected: the realms/threads of that page number are loaded and visible directly.
Actual result: we are back on the main page of the site, with the News tab active. Switching the Community one does indeed show the correct threads from the initially selected page number.
Crazy to think that, of the past 30 years of The Elder Scrolls, almost half of it is Skyrim alone! Helps when you're on basically every game system under the sun lol.
To celebrate, I found this video: an hour's worth of classic dragon-fighting music!
Magtheridon first showed up all the way back in 2003's Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, as a boss in the Night Elf campaign.
Not to "erm akshually" all over this, but I am gonna erm akshually all over this. Magtheridon didn't show up until The Frozen Throne, and he was a boss in the Blood Elf campaign.
For spirit of Death Knight and some other non-mentioned stuff, set's active time didn't end yet, we will have an upcoming mini-set. There's always hope they will release that.
All of the E.V.I.L. villain's except King Togwaggle is here. I'm expecting to see him too for instance.

At first I thought the mechanic was weird, creepy and funny. Visiting the morge and burying corpses? Sounds like fun! 😅 GGG do think of some... interesting themes. Kinda reminds me a little of Metamorph league, except instead of body parts, we choose what spirits go into which monter types. The fact that we need to use our game knowledge to place the spirits in the best possible monsters will be quite interesting.
Other than that, the only other changes I'm most excited about are the campaign changes coz damn, they really need to spice up the leveling process coz it's getting a bit tedious and repetitive.
Considering the amount of new innovation GGG is bringing in PoE 2, plus over 100 bosses and focusing on WASD combat going forward, I can totally be patient enough to wait till the end of the year to play in the beta but would be awesome if the public get Alpha testing keys as well.
Despite his casual playstyle, he appreciates the lore of World of Warcraft and views Hearthstone as a delightful spin-off of this rich background. His passion for designing custom cards and engaging in Hearthstone-related activities like appearing on podcasts demonstrates his deep involvement in the game's community.

Overall, his mention of the innocence test subtly hints at his playful nature and willingness to engage with others who share his passion for Hearthstone.
How You're Feeling About Whizbang's Workshop - Memes Edition
Just reached Gold earlier today. Guess what deck I was playing.
Some highlights from the final match before Gold against a Plaguexcavate DK:

Deputization Aura should have been nerfed ages ago. It has been holding Paladin at the top of the meta ever since it entered the game.
I love Shroomscavate, but I'm more than willing to admit it's way too cheap.
For Thrall's Gift, I'm guessing they would just change which spells it offers? A Cost change would be weird.
Aftershocks should just be 3 mana, period, no reduction. Control Warrior casts a spell nearly every turn anyway.
I'm a little surprised at Awakening Tremors. Will it make 3/1 worms, or fewer worms?

Just play Popular Pixie on turn 8 for free hero power next turn. That deck looks super fun!
