Kinda funny how three of these characters have sons who are already in Hearthstone. Varian Wrynn was basically Anduin Lothar's adoptive son. Dranosh Saurfang was a Frozen Throne boss as Deathbringer, and the ever-forgettable Rend Blackhand is Warchief Blackhand's son too.
Maybe they can do a Warrior hero pack for Father's Day lol
One thing I'm really hoping to come from Blizzard is the apparent goofiness they seemed to have embraced. The reveals for DMF and Duels were way better than most of the others, mainly because they kinda let themselves go off the board a little. I realise that all these reveals are scripted, but something about the way they've been doing them recently feels more like the writers had a bit more freedom, making them feel way more natural.
Despite everything people say, I think the game is in a good place. I am having fun and I'm able to be competitive while being completely F2P. Sure, the game's got problems, but all games have problems. I'm personally very excited for what's going to be revealed in this Blizzcon.
I am not and never really have been intimidated by such features. When I started playing HS I didn't even recognize those things (like, seriosuly, I started playing during Old Gods, and only learned from this thread about the golden coin) and then I quickly realized that those cosmetics, including legendary card back, simply mean someone has had more time to play the game. I kind of proved it to myself beyond any doubt when I first hit the legend myself. All I did was play more, because I suddenly got a lot of free time - nothing else really changed.
What I am a little intimidated by is when I play BG and I can see a famous streamer in my lobby. I got high enough MMR to meet them from time to time. I must admit I feel that people are watching me and it causes some weird kind of stress, which affects my decisions.
Hi, I have played quite a lot both with this deck and against it. It reminds me a lot of old DR Hunter with Kathrena Winterwisp - you either hit your pieces early and roll from there or you are stuck with expensive cards in your hand with no to little counterplay against your opponent's aggression.
I think the highroll potential and consistency (at least regarding playing/drawing Noz) can easily make it (one of) top deck till the end of the year of the phoenix and I don't mind it.
Well, I have nothing to really brag about after 6 years of playing. Half of my Heroes are bellow the 500w mark, the other 5 are above, with only one above 1000w. Grinding is slow as I don´t always feel to play Ranked, but now it´s bit easier when Arena, Duels (and Brawl?) count towards it.
Yeah, pitty :/ I think I´ll need to wait to the next morning to watch it. Good thing is that if you´re not interested in the whole event but Hearthstone, someone (coughfromOOCcough) will hopefully upload the Hearthstone part and/or make a recap of it by then.
I hit level 231 yesterday; finished all the mini-set XP quest achievements and finally got a few of those sweet challenge friend requests.
...
Looking forward to complete the remainder of the rewards track in the upcoming 6 weeks. Not sure what the plan will be during the period before the next expansion hits. Should the upper limit of 350 levels be removed from the rewards track? What do you think?
No, I think that limit is fine. You play way more than it is healthy
Edit: I hit level 128 today and I feel I play a lot. Many players hit level 50 these days.
I am both baffled and livid about this. I just don't understand why anyone would ever even do this. While theorycrafting good-looking decks is definitely an art, it's not that hard to throw together a serviceable offering of your own creation. Or alternatively: if someone wants to just curate lists of others' creations, it's trivial to cite the original creators as we often do here. Even the most famous LoR content creators will accredit others when they knowingly use someone else's list -- the "cred" from passing off someone else's innovation as your own just isn't worth lying for. And these guys did this all for a video that is currently sitting at 21 views.
EDIT: It occurred to me last night that I didn't literally say the words, so please let me formally apologize for unwittingly mis-accrediting your work.
This deck tries to do too much IMO. I tried the "super control" version of this on day one of the miniset and found that Tickatus is the weak point. His only purpose is to disrupt OTK decks. Of which there are really only two notable ones. Mage and DH. The mage one usually kills you before turn 8 (when you can semi-reasonably expect to play Tickatus) via Mozaki. The "exodia" mage that made a brief resurgance is actually the less popular of the two tries to draw it's whole deck, so in that one you literally have to play Tickatus on curve otherwise he really does effectively nothing.
Against DH, again it boils down to: Did you draw tickatus? Did you corrupt tickatus? Were you able to finally play him before the opponent drew all their combo pieces?
Against control/value decks Tickatus shines a *little* better but still isn't an iWin card. Overall the Tickatus/Y'shaarj just doesn't do enough in this listed deck archetype. At minimum it needs strongman to be worth the tempo turns (0 cost 6/6 taunt when corrupted, and again when you play Y'shaarj).
Not going to mention felosphy because those are again, greed plays that work with or without tickatus. I agree that Questing Explorer is just a bad card in this deck, but so is Tickatus. From mid-december until the miniset released Tickatus saw decent enough winrates to warrant some inclusion.
But now Tickatus is no longer in a positive winrate. He's too slow, and doesn't do enough. In short: Rustwix decks don't need Tickatus or Y'shaarj to be viable. But if you do insist on running Y'sharj, Strongman should be an auto-inclusion.

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
It's Double Jump.
Mario and Luigi in the old games couldn't double jump but Arthur from G&G on the SNES can.
It can fetch you [Hearthstone Card (skull of gul'dan/card], the macabre op… Or star student who is a duel character.
Sorry but that was agonizingly long for me, especially after that break. You all lose.
I feel like I'm torturing you so I give up my turn. I didn't win it anyway. Game is up for another riddle again : D

Such a wonderful HS reward! I'll remember those 30th special event cards until I have memory.
Who wants a special cardback or hero when you can have cards?

If the rumor is about a remake, then it can't be just a Hd filter, since that's the defintion of an remaster.

7 Hot Theorycraft Decks for Aphelios - The Champion Coming to Legends of Runeterra in Early February
Hey Morctorcus.
I am both baffled and livid about this. I just don't understand why anyone would ever even do this. While theorycrafting good-looking decks is definitely an art, it's not that hard to throw together a serviceable offering of your own creation. Or alternatively: if someone wants to just curate lists of others' creations, it's trivial to cite the original creators as we often do here.

And these guys did this all for a video that is currently sitting at 21 views.
This article has been updated. Also, for what it's worth: we did include your theorycraft work in last month's recognition of OoC community contributions.
EDIT: It occurred to me last night that I didn't literally say the words, so please let me formally apologize for unwittingly mis-accrediting your work.
