Yeah buddy, you brought your Secret Aggro Paladin to casual like a douchebag and I stomped you with my little homebrew shaman deck. Feelsgoodman!

I hope they nerf Hysteria and Apotheosis. I hope they don't buff caravans. Thoroughly boring designs. Give shaman and demon hunter some love. Preferably buff spell damage and deathrattle.

Is this card's effect is card draw and some damage? Holy Wrath

Funny thing, I know more of female players here than guys.

Also Slyssa you might like or not but she is actually competent both BG and ladder player.

Also most of your statement is just false. There is more than 10% of women in Blizzard and game industry.
Also Blizzard being ass about Christmas bonus is issue but separate from representation and inclusion in gaming industry.

It is not like we can only fix one thing at the same time, we can try and fix both female representation and union in Blizzard issues.
And people are vocal about all those things.

Chirean Sumpworker is such a fun card to play, although you opponent probably disagree.

It is part ad, but also part support for their community, which is important to pull in and retain players. If they only invite the most well-known streamers, there won't be anyone to fill in the gaps once some of them inevitably stop focusing on Hearthstone.

Also diversity is not only about idealism, it also has commercial value. The streamers you find charismatic aren't necessarily the ones that all other players can identify with. A diverse cast of streamers can pull in a more diverse audience and thereby increase their player base.

Maybe they're overcompensating a bit now, but compared to rather monotonous rosters they used to have, I think it's a step forward.

Oh, and the #1 reason people watch isn't the streamers either, it's pack drops ;)

I need help. Just started with the Rogue puzzle. Did it 3 times exactly following the guide. Nothing happens.

Alec mentioned in the Interview that Spring Water won't be nerfed because Mage's winrates is within the range they want it to be in. Iksar said the same thing. 

Still no Savjz even thou blizz promised that he would be able to compete in tournaments again...

Really hoping I can get feedback on this before time is up.

Which version do you guys prefer? Or do you guys just prefer The End Foretold?

EDIT: And I just realized that I forgot to put the spell schools on both of the cards.

I think I like the flavor of Living Bomb over Grasp of Darkness. I can imagine the minion exploding in a ball of flames :0

Transwomen are women. Don't be a TERF.

The soraka list is actually really good against the Irelia spam going on ladder.

added Chip cause how would they not include our boy Chip.

Those are ads for Blizzard, not ads for streamers. Why would Blizzard pay US$ 100,000.00 to have ads for unknown streamers? People saying there should be a healthy rotation think this is somehow Blizzard being charitable and giving free money to people. This is not, this is a freaking ad for us to watch and play and pay them money. We don't need unknown streamers doing this, we need CHARISMATIC streamers doing this and wether or not they are trans, female, black or gay, asian, latin or a freaking apache helicopter is not important. I won't watch the event if not exactly because Kripp will be in it and people should understand most people will watch and play because of streamers, not because diversity.

Regis and Kibler are much more constructed than BG players, so it makes complete sense to give others a chance. And I think especially for invitational tournaments it's important to mix familiar faces with new ones to prevent the 'old-boys club/'Blizzard sweethearts' effect. I would certainly feel that way if they were actually invited for a mode they hardly play. 

About the 50/50 - I agree that it wouldn't make sense to always be adamant about this. But I think that they're doing it this time to give a signal. And let's not forget that the balance has been severely tilting towards the other end for a long time.  

Hoping they'll invite Chump for the next constructed event!

7th May update: Poison's Reno Shudderwock Shaman ft. Mankrik and Bandersmosh!

What a fascinating take on Shudderwock Shaman. Mankrik and Bandersmosh are two key highlights of the deck. Lots of misplays from me in this video. But the point is, I had fun. Lots and lots of fun. I was also winning games. Thank you to the deck author (Poison).

Key lessons to be learnt by my opponents:

1) Jade Druid - play around Devolve, when your opponent has a full board? "You will wither and rot" was the last thing they said, before losing. They were not happy.

2) Big Priests - should always clear Flurgl! Never leave Flurgl on the board! The ability to replay Toxfins can be game winning for us.

First day of school

That one might still be on the table. The current Aggro shell works well enough and if some buffs here and there it could actually become a thing.

I like the meme of the deck.  

Well then.

Props to everyone who figured this out! Those who have the patience and dedication to hunt secrets are awesome. It's nice that we get a cool card back for it, too. 

Sorry, I forgot xD

Quote From Psychopomp

I hope anything I say doesn't offend anyone but this is the internet so of course it will somehow:

 

I think it's great Blizzard was so quick to jump on board by adding more female streamers to their events. Good job on them for taking those strides, but at the same time, as a viewer, I'd like to see some of the players I'm interested in watching, like RegisKillbin or Brian Kibler. I get they're trying to go with more representation, but they're surely sacrificing some viewership. I don't want to say take out the female streamers or anything, but as stated, HS has 90% male content creator, so making the teams 50/50 in the name of equality just doesn't make sense to me.

I don't think the answer to this is to go back and only always invite the most popular creators. The answer is to simply hold more events so that they can have a healthy rotation of diverse creators to bring in a wider audience. If there was going to be another event in, say, two weeks, and Regis was confirmed to be there, then I'm betting you wouldn't be that disappointed about this one. Unfortunately, that costs money, and Activision-Blizzard still doesn't seem to really know what it wants to do with this aspect of the game beyond "promote the thing that just came out." Therefore, we get a trickle and more people are bummed that their favorite person isn't involved.

Also, I'm glad these Twitch Drops will be more gracefully handled than the YouTube drops.

This was really fun... not.
