I agree. One of my favorite things about Hearthstone is how simple it is. No alternate currencies, no guilds, no more than 4 lines of text on a card, and there aren't a billion cosmetics.

Ran into this issue as well. It seems like it fixes itself every day (when the quests reset maybe?) but then once I clear the daily quests it all goes *poof*. Kinda annoying.

they have been working on the mode for over a year now and it was originally planned for the last expansion. Im fully confident that it's going to launch as part of the fire-festival, similar to the trials by felfire mode last year.

i so sad they still have no news for mercenaries , they  were working on it for months and yet nothing to show, i have zero hope they will launch it before the next expac, i was looking ahead to play it too but my hype is dying by the minute :(

I mean... he described the Hero's Journey. Pokemon is far from unique in applying that arc to a "sports" competitor.

I've played a little post expac and it's been alright. Did a demon hunter deathrattle deck with mostly small minions. Really funny to have the board keep refilling itself. Just gotta figure out what to cut to get Norzdormu in there.

Also I get your point but Norzdormu isn't a card you play to win. It just wasn't designed that way. So yes putting him in my deck is actively loosing, especially in ranked. It's just not the point. Seeing it active, having to play faster, especially in a ranked setting is just hilarious to me. I'm certain I am not the only one.

I appreciate the pointers on the meta break down though. I will however continue to loose and be quite entertained with it.

"In retrospect, 4 mana was too high for the card." Oh ya don't say? Jesus.

If the protagonist ends every match with a Wisp that should otherwise be complete rubbish in the game but somehow wins every battle in the anime then yes, its would be very much like pokemon.

Just wanted to comment on a couple of things;

- I'm actually a little intrigued by the suggestion of showing MMR figures per match. On one hand, it will definitely show some form of progression after you reach the rank you're comfortable with, and you can afford to lose matches as long as the MMR does not dip enough to lose you your star progress. On the other hand, it'll just create those scenarios where you lose to someone much lower level than you are and suddenly your MMR dips a ton, and you feel really bad about it. Worst still, you may have just lost to the cheesiest deck in the field.

- On the idea of buffs, here's a few suggestions;

Buff caravans to 4 health. It'll give shaman a much needed draw boost in Tinyfin's Caravan, and give priest more options on 2 other than Wandmaker all day. Keep the flavor (you know, like caravans reaching their destinations), but make it much much playable. I don't think I've even seen a single caravan so far.

Give Shadowform's its mind shatter back. Currently no one's playing this card and I can see why. There's no reason to ever put two in the deck and priest drawing like shit its a near miracle to ever draw that card and play it. It'll make the warlock matchup less like hanging on a threadrope if nothing else.

Dragonmaw Overseer to be 3 mana 2/3. Like seriously. Playing tempo priest is already a task in of itself. Why not make one of its worst card slightly less like smelling your own fart.

Professor Slate as a 2 mana 2/3? Im not too sure. But with pen flinger less of a bastard than it was, there's even less reason to play some form of spell hunter. Maybe slate as a 2 drop will at least let it see play if nothing else, but with face hunter back with a vengeance, Im hesitant to ever buff hunter cards. I was thinking of a making a slower hunter feel better to play

Lone Champion as a 3 mana 3/4. More tools against aggro. Just a suggestion.

For buffs idea i got one ive wanted for ages now. Natalie Seline being cheaper but less attack ala 6mana 6/1 for example, if wasnt 8mana would help more to be flexible and can asnwer things on time actully and might acctully be usefull as more of a top end card for a tempo priest of some kidn(if they ever the draw to support that is)

Thanks for the answers everyone! I was having a lot of trouble figuring out the meta as well right now, and it feels like I just get overwhelmed way too easily when going second despite cards like Shivarra existing

Regarding Shadowform, I'm willing to wait for the other sets this year before judging the changes to it. It's not the only card in the Core set that currently lacks support, and I assume everything in the Core set will make sense by the end of the year.

Unless make something on lvl of play shadowform and win the game as support i dont see shadowform beign good whatsoever/

Priest has the new tutor spell from core set btu its still really lacks draw to get it consisttnyly. and it also swaps purpose fo your hp and the seocnd copy is useless outside  a 2mana refresh yoru hero power.

And like widlfire is a straight up betetr card in evry way and mage has actua draw which priest doesnt.

Sorry, mate, but both of those ideas are incredibly bad.

Wild is worse, honestly!  Because of how fast the meta is in Wild.  Been experimenting some with different decks in the format, like Dragon Paladin, but not finding success.  None of the top Wilddecks can afford a spot for him.

APM or Secret Mages just want to win fast.  Darkglare Warlocks want free 8/8’s so a 7 mana 8/8 is a no.  Caverns Quest Rogue would make him a 7 mana 5/5, ouch!  He could go in Odd Paladin because it’s easy enough to play fast, but lately every Odd Pally I find has brain damage or something because they rope out every turn with that low skill cap deck. I’ve played that deck a lot, it’s not a think and rope kind of deck!

But in short, if I ever saw it activate in a Wild ranked match I think my head would explode from the shock and disbelief!

Godly thumbnail as always

Great idea, but somehow the variance does not add up, I can't keep up drawing

Basarcos is new and a nice guy.

I’m all in for more cosmetics but please don’t touch the game board too much!

How about watermarks on the play field ? They cannot distract to much from the cards obviously but as I imagine it, they could blend in really well. 

Also, I’m surprised that titles didn’t get implemented with achievements. The possibility to show off big achievements with a cool title in the name would make it less painful to grind sigil DH..

Anything that can help me complete Final Frontier?

I hate to craft Celestial Alignment just to complete it. I feel it's one of the card that won't be used in the future. And thankfully, I didn't open one in packs.
Plus I don't have Brann to execute double Galakrond Rogue. So, it's kinda hard to just pull a 4 discounted cards when you need 5, and what's harder is you need to fill your deck with cards below 8 mana like Invoke cards. I'm thinking of combining it with Heistbaron Toggwaggle, but it will considerably worse because you need lackeys.

*confused screaming*

I stumbled across an idea, that for the Final Frontier achievement you can simply use discounted giants. So I gave it a try since I don´t own Celestial Alignment too and guess what? It worked! So if you´re still struggling to do this achievement, just make a deck full of giants. I did it with priest with heals, spells, some draw (for both you and opponent) and some little board swarm - depends on which giants you want to use. It took me just two tries to complete it :)

Regarding Shadowform, I'm willing to wait for the other sets this year before judging the changes to it. It's not the only card in the Core set that currently lacks support, and I assume everything in the Core set will make sense by the end of the year.

It's only because they wanted to keep all 3 of warrior's Classic epics, and didn't want inconsistent rarity gems for the Legacy and Core versions of the same card. I guess it really doesn't matter when the Core set is given out for free anyway.

I don't consider Nozdurmo day an real event. Just as an regular suggestion to play that card. They also most likely could have started an legendary quest on that day, but I see 2 problems that come with that.

1. There is no automatic system for regular legendary quests. It's not such a big deal, but definetely something you want to implement at some point.

2. The quest would not be limited to Nozdurmo day. Right now every legendary quest stays in there until you complete or reroll it, but since Nozdurmo day is only...well, one day, they have to somehow remove that quest on the 16. . And that is a tech they definetely havn't implemented yet.

That's the second time that card has got me a win this month! Just seeing this now, too tired to come up with one now, will tmrw

Nozdormu day was the biggest flop in HS events.
Not even the technology to implement a specific quest for that date =|

It still bears comments that Blizzard was late with this announcement. Like strangely late.

not exactly as they already implemented another term for while loops: Do x, Repeat until y. But this card has a slightly different effect per card text: "Only steal until", "not steal, then repeat"

I'm still sticking to my first assessment that this is bad coding or inconsitent card texts. (Although I understand the functionality now fully, it was not clear from reading the card)
