  • New Warrior Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Budilicious - Provoke

    Untargetable by enemies, but as seen by the hysteria chaos a few months back, immune creatures can be targeted by their owners.

  • New Warrior Minion - Remote-Controlled Golem

    I can see this doing work if you Provoke it

    Please don't make another account. You've been permabanned and don't want you on the site.

  • New Paladin Minion - First Blade of Wrynn

    We need to see more hand buff, and not good enough for wild most likely

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    Walnut Sprite seems to check the boxes (echo, 3/3 3-drop, name clue), except for the first line.

  • New Paladin Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by Navegando en Videojuegos - First Blade of Wrynn

    There is Overlord Runthak as well, but that's only one card in a deck and you wouldn't be able to get rush turn 4. That curve problem applies to Sermon as well, unless you coin the Sermon.

    There could be a meta curve issue as well: Goody Two-Shields is one of the best current Paladin cards, so often you'd want to play a spell on turn 4 instead of a minion.

    The base minion isn't terrible, but it has competition in that slot from Kazakus, Golem Shaper, so unless you are playing other 4-drops like Sermon already, I don't see this getting included.

    It's true that you'd be likely to land Blessing of Authority, but you are spending 2 turns and 9 mana on that, which seems risky when cheap answers like Devolving Missiles and Coerce are around. Hunter is also getting more Poisonous cards, although we don't know yet if those will be meta.

    It's probably good in Wild, where you can handbuff it on turn 1 or 2.

  • New Shaman Spell - Command the Elements

    The first part of the quest is nuts. If you start with double lightning bloom in to doomhammer it is GG easy

    People complain and campaign about other world issues all the time, and there's a significant overlap in the people who actually bother to try to improve each. So don't kid yourself into thinking the people down-voting you now aren't also concerned about racism, homophobia, climate change, the pandemic etc, just because the spotlight is currently on sexual harassment.

    As for your own problems, I assure you they do not include having to wait 2 days to see a few Hearthstone cards that you won't be able to use for over a week anyway. So don't pretend to be a victim when you get a flood of down-votes for a comment that acts like the world's biggest non-issue is more important than the sexual harassment that continues to plague society.

    ----------------------------------------

    By the way, even the best of us get a bunch of down-votes every so often, so people aren't attacking you personally. There's also room for lots of different world-views on this site, and you sound like a bit of a nihilist, which is fine. No one is trying to stifle that. What they do take issue with, however, is writing comments in a callous and offensive way. It is good take the time to either find a way to word it which doesn't have that problem. If there is no way of avoiding it being offensive, you are going to have to put in the effort to write a good justification, otherwise you're just asking for down-votes.

  • New Warrior Spell - Provoke

    This would be one of the few cases where trading it would be more expensive than playing it, but I guess if you have no viable targets from it, you might as well try drawing something else. Might be best on some kind of whenever this minion takes damage minion.

  • Blizzard Co-Founder and Former CEO, Mike Morhaime, Shares His Thoughts on Activision Blizzard Lawsuit

    Just so I'm clear, you're saying you don't care about assault/abuse because there are bad people out there who pretend to care in order to get some sort of moral high ground?

    You say it's hard to care, but I want to challenge you on that. Let's have a little hypothetical situation: you're walking down the street, turn a corner, and see the aftermath of a car accident. There's a person lying bleeding on the ground, a family nearby crying. The person is receiving first aid, so you're not expected to get involved. You know jack about this family, this person on the ground. Is it hard to feel empathy? For all you know, the person might be shitty, might be a saint, but, importantly, you don't know. It seems to me healthier to assume that, on the balance, they're as fine a person as your average individual. It seems easier to empathize.

    But let's say you don't, for whatever reason. The family is kind of in your way. Do you say "I don't care, get out of the way" or do you maybe give them a little space and walk around?

    Nobody, literally nobody, is asking you to get out and protest. Nobody is making you brigade online. Right now, nobody needs you to do anything. Literally the only thing being asked is to keep things like "I don't care, just gimme the cards" to yourself. Be grumpy that it's disrupted reveal season, that's your prerogative. You'll get the cards soon enough.

    For us, this has disrupted the reveal season for an expansion that nobody will remember in 2 years time. For them, lives and careers have been affected. Just keep that in perspective. Saying "I don't care" really says "your problems don't matter," and that's a profoundly shitty thing to say to someone, particularly when they're talking about assault/harassment.

    Everyone, everyone, has their own shit to deal with. I've got my problems and I don't doubt that you have yours. Those suck! But recognizing when other people are expressing theirs and taking a second to go "yeah, that sucks" rather than "shut up, I don't care" will take you a long, long way in life. You'll find it easier to get help with your own situations if you're willing to, even just a little, be open to other people talking about their own.

  • New Warrior Card Revealed for United in Stormwind by ChunGe - Remote-Controlled Golem

    I don't see any kind of deck this would fit into. The pay-off is rather slow, so it wouldn't fit in an aggressive deck, but summoning 2/1 minions doesn't seem all that useful in a control deck and the initial minion doesn't have taunt or rush.

    In a deck where you damage your own minions, you could trigger its ability more often, but then on turns when the 2/1 get summoned you either cannot activate frenzy or you throw away your reward.

  • New Paladin Minion - First Blade of Wrynn

    Totally agree. If you 'need' the hand-buff stuff to make it work, more often than not, it'll be a dead card in your hand.
    I'll probably open about half a dozen of those on day 1 - that's how lucky I am ^^

  • New Druid Spell - Lost in the Park

    This looks by far the weakest of the Questlines I've seen so far. I hope you don't have to get your hero up to those attack levels all at once, otherwise it seems almost impossible to pull off, for a fairly weak reward. I guess it could be done with very lucky draws of Park Panther, Moontouched Amulet and Feral Rage at the same time. I suppose this is intended as burst for a finisher, though an 8/8 taunt plus 8 armor for you hero might be enough to comeback from behind.

  • New Warrior Minion - Remote-Controlled Golem

    Could be interesting value for arena, but I fail to see how it would benefit in constructed.
    It does create value, but it seems rather small or insignificant additions - things would be different if Doctor Boom was still around .. we will see

  • New Shaman Spell - Command the Elements

    Overdraft will probably be included in almost all decks that run this. The reward is pretty nice too. I'm not sure if it's the most powerful one, but this might be easier to pull off than those more powerful Questlines.

  • New Hunter Minion - Imported Tarantula

    I'm not really sure what benefit Tradeable gives to this card. I guess if you have it early you can try and get something you can use, but would that be worth spending 1 mana when you only have 2 or 3?

  • New Rogue Spell - Garrote

    This is a lot of potential damage for 2 mana. Sure you don't get it immediately, otherwise this card would be broken, but I'm not sure it will be a problem for Rogue to draw the rest of them. And you can always run 2 of these to increase the chance of drawing Bleeds.

  • Clockwork Card Dealer - Standard

    I'm surprised they did not ban Far Watch Post in this brawl. Guaranteed on turn 2 and will probably force them to hero power on turn 2 and then play one turn late thereafter.

    I went for paladin with Righteous Defender, Far Watch Post, Mor'shan Watch Post, Rally. Must be infuriating to play against.

  • Blizzard Co-Founder and Former CEO, Mike Morhaime, Shares His Thoughts on Activision Blizzard Lawsuit

    I don't care because plenty of bad people act like they care and thinks it makes them a better person to do so.

    Hard to care when I don't know the situation or the victims. For all I know the victims are hateful people themselves.

    I have my own problems to worry about. You don't see these people speaking out against the millions of people who die every week.

  • New Demon Hunter Minion - Stubborn Merchant

    As far as I'm aware, DH doesn't do much copying, so I fail to see how this will be that great.

  • Blizzard Co-Founder and Former CEO, Mike Morhaime, Shares His Thoughts on Activision Blizzard Lawsuit

    Some free advice for you:

    If you want to avoid downvotes, which you appear to take personally, don't respond to people talking about sexual assault/harassment with "don't care"

    What a catastrophically selfish way to behave

  • What Inspires You To Build A Deck?

    Thinking about how the opponent will react to it and how satisfying it would be to pull it off.

  • New Neutral Minion - Auctioneer Jaxon

    This seems like some nice support for the Tradeable mechanic.

  • What Inspires You To Build A Deck?

    I just introduced a friend to Dominion and Clank!. After he shuffles his https://www.deckbuildersjacksonville.net/  deck, he doesn't draw from the top, but randomly takes cards as he sees fit. I can't find rules against this, does anyone else have this issue/pet peeve?
