  • New Freljord Card - Bone Scryer

    Assuming more tools come out to enable this guy's ability, and that he helps with Udyr's level-up requirement, then he's an okay early game blocker and enabler. Verdict: 3/5

  • New Freljord Card - Mammoth Shaman

    A 6 mana unit with no immediate board impact, deckbuilding requirements to enable it and you don't want to attack or block with it on the turn it's summoned; such a unit would require massive upside to be playable. As it happens, Mammoth Shaman does have massive upside, and therefore it is playable. Is it better than just playing an Alpha Wildclaw and being able to attack with it on the same turn? Well, this guy is a game-ending threat and Alpha Wildclaw is not, so yes it's worth it. Verdict: 3/5

  • New Freljord Card - Murkwolf Shaman

    A 5|5 with Regeneration who also draws you a card, for the low, low price of 4 mana; Babbling Bjerg, eat your heart out. That said, there are two big drawbacks for this card: there are nontrivial deckbuilding requirements to enable it, and even if you do enable it on the same round you play it, it's still a weak 4 mana 3|3 for one round. These drawbacks are significant, but the upside more than makes up for it. Verdict: 4/5

  • 4 New Freljord Cards Revealed for Runeterra's "A Curious Journey" Expansion

    Yeah, saw a reddit post about it. I'm not super familiar with LoL champs, and I heard that people were expecting Ormm or Volibear, and the latter seemed more likely of the two, but if people say it's Udyr, it's probably Udyr.

  • New Freljord Card - Bone Scryer

    Something to know here is: if he would take 1 damage but that damage get's reduced to 0 by tough he still triggers his ability.

    Therefore this looks like a decent burn engine (especially with scargrounds) 

    A 0/5 body usually is pretty weak on his own and I am not sure if he is worth playing around.

  • New Freljord Card - Mammoth Shaman

    Let's give it a "too slow" and move on. 

    The only question that i have with this unit: if it transforms and then get recalled will it keep it's new form?

    I think it will but can't tell yet

  • New Freljord Card - Murkwolf Shaman

    A 5/5 regeneration for 4 is just insane. A 4 mana 3/3 generation isn't even that bad. So I can't imagine this not being a very solid card for freljord midrange decks

    I just saw that it ALSO draws a card when it transforms... that crazy powerful borderline nerfworthy for a 4drop

  • Can someone help me solve my problem with the percentage bar at zero percent?

    It's a common problem that I find happening when either your software/hardware or network bandwidth become overwhelmed. Hearthstone client is very sensitive nowadays (and I'd add unwieldy), it does not like sharing. So say you have another game or app like Discord opened on the side, they may clash and you will occasionally get stuck on permanent queueing. Or you are downloading or buffering something on the side when trying to play, and Hearthstone doesn't like having limited connection. Too many tabs opened, computer not restarted for a while? Cue lacking memory to keep up. Even a deck tracker can be problematic if for some reason your hardware resources struggle to keep up with it. 

    As somebody else has already mentioned, the moment you see it happen it's best to close the game manually and restart, at least the reconnecting feature tends to be very solid on both desktop and mobile. 

    It's definitely still worth reporting so the officials learn just how badly the HS client could use further work. 


  • Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!

    When did the meta become so braindead? Getting alive to f***ing turn 5 is a miracle right now.

  • New Freljord Card - Tusk Speaker

    I a way this is a powercrept Ruthless Raider sure it has 1 health instead of tough but it triggers plunder for free and just is SUCH a good aggressive unit that there is no way that if freljord aggro decks are a thing this won't be part of them

  • The Fury of Kael'Thas

    2 out of 2, got lucky with getting zero mana and Survival combo's. First guy I met threw newbie cards at me, felt a bit sorry for him :)

  • Can't win in Standard anymorr

    It doesn't matter as much whether it's Bronze or higher levels, since the matchups are based on your internal MMR. So having a decent streak of wins over the past months or year would've contributed to getting better opponents. 
    Other than that, every meta is different. Some may have people play better decks on average and punish anything less polished, others a person just doesn't get a handle on or gels particularly well with. Even best players get several games loss streaks at times, ironically. 

    I don't know whether the decks you chose suit your playstyle/comfort levels and how much you know what to expect when facing what's currently popular on Standard ladder; both factors can contribute a lot for and against. The diversity is quite wide now. Knowing how to play and navigate some things in the past doesn't guarantee the same holding true just now.

    I think it's going to be Udyr instead, we have a bunch of shaman that channel the power of different animals, that's exactly what Udyr does.

  • Hearthstone Designer Cora Georgiou Shares Insights on the New Mini-Set Cards

    Don't Stand in the Fire! is a way better name, anyway. I'm glad they had to change it. It fits much better with the whole Onyxia raid theme.

  • Onyxia's Lair Card Reveal Schedule is Out! Reveal Period Lasts 5 Days

    I should have specified that my comment was directed at readers, not site managers. I'm sure the way they are putting out the reveals is quite frustrating for you, but for the rest of us it makes very little difference in the end.

    "ALL Nexuses"? Not both? Hmm...

    Also, this pretty much confirms Volibear for tomorrow.

  • Hearthstone Designer Cora Georgiou Shares Insights on the New Mini-Set Cards

    mini ysera, maly, and alex? but this leaves out onyxia?

    not sure 4 dragons make a set.

  • Hearthstone Designer Cora Georgiou Shares Insights on the New Mini-Set Cards

    I was actually thinking they meant it's a cycle of the same card. So we get the whelp now, spiky-haired teen-wing next, big daddy-wing after that, then remorseful, gentle grandpa-wing at the last.

    might also be baby Kazacashan or whatever right?
