So it's a standard minion with a mechanic attached to it that rarely triggers because it's a meme card with low Health. That rules out Battlecry, Rush, Combo, Discover, Invoke, Outcast, Overload, Poisonous, Taunt because all of those trigger regardless of the minion's Health or can't be "triggered" (like Taunt). Deathrattle has been ruled out, too. It really screams Spellburst but I can't find a card that fits the criteria, all of them have been used for some time. Windfury might work although that doesn't really "proc" either. I'll go with Headmaster Kel'Thuzad for the sake of making a guess. Maybe someone else can build upon my thoughts.
I found a "funny" bug that should be considered to be fixed. Seems like you can be credited with "Throw a Snowball - Complete to earn 25 Snowflakes" daily mission even if you don't have enough snowballs.
The action of trying to throw it grants you this "achievement" instead of throwing it.
Is there some button to get to the last page of this thread?
Not wanting to be salty, but as I start clicking towards page 44 I get this great urge to make a write up in a salt thread about how stupid not having an "end of thread" button is.
Funnily enough, I didn't even realise that there were low roll quests at all. Honestly, I constantly reroll quests, especially the ones which I can't complete, like the ones asking me to play classes other than DH and Paladin (I don't have cards for the other ones): I really like those quests, they are super easy to complete, and I really don't care about the 100 exp, which is not a lot.
I'm familiar with those patch notes where Blizzard pretty much also assumes why players reroll quests.
Sure, they have all the statistics, but I can't help but think since they are ultimately a profit-making company that this was primarily or secondarily (to give them a slight benefit of my doubt) introduced to make it harder to reroll into higher XP (previously gold) daily quests.
It's simple, making it harder to reroll into more XP/gold rewarding quests means players having less XP/gold to spend on buying free packs.
If they also implemented the vice versa; rerolling less XP/gold quests always into more XP/gold quests, I wouldn't be suspicious about this.
Btw, we don't have to agree on this and that was also never my intention. We are just sharing our opinions on this cool forum/fansite 😉
This time I didn't get one, but two stupid battlegrounds weekly quests. Ugh.
To add insult to injury, I got screwed by animations in Ranked of all places. My opponent had played a weird Spell Damage Druid and was happily milling himself to death with two Auctioneers in play. My problem was that they had managed to reduce my Health a lot and clear my board. So let's roll with Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate! And sure enough, Yogg gave me a game-winning solution with Curse of Flesh. But lo and behold, one of the summoned minions was Nozdormu. My turn was over when Yogg's wheel stopped spinning and I lost the game.
Out of the three I like second version at most. However, I think it may cost (4).
@linkblade91
I realy like both, but I think the first one is better because it's simple, even if a bit lower on flavour.
@Demonxz95
I think it's fine on balance side, but I'm not realy impressed by this.
@Wailor
I like Grim Fortune more, because Tamer's Whip doesn't look realy special to me.
@shatterstar91
I think I like Knife Trick more, but not sure about the balance, it is a better effect of Bladestorm, plus may draw you a lot of cards.
@anchorm4n
Pretty sure that E. T. C. Groupie is underpowered in comparison to Sorcerer Apprentice. I get that it may be comboed with E T C, but people would use Broomstick over this. Also, I think I like Goblin Mime more.
Ive been playing LoR for about a couple of weeks now and generally i didnt even look towards or try LoR, simply because i thought that Riot will also end up creating a annoyingly boring meta where a certain card(s) or deck(s) are overpowered and everybody plays those same cards, decks. This basically always happened in Hearthstone and in Gwent. Im not a long time player so i cant really speak all that much for LoR but what im about to write is something that seriously pissed me off with LoR.
Ill start by explaing why i hated HS and Gwent.
I hated Hearthstone due to the fact that there is no way a free to play player that didnt start day one or during the earlier period when Hearthstone released could properly play without getting absolutely destroyed by round 5 or 6 due to how few and useless cards the new player has. The game is way too grindy and there is no actual reward system whatsoever that would reward the player for completing dailies, quests etc. Even when the achievements finally came out, i still heard that they were absolutely useless and i just felt joy that i didnt even want to bother with HS.
I hated Gwent due to how much CDPR tried to make it like Hearthstone implementing a ton of new mechanics even though in the Witcher 3 Gwent was simple, amazing and fun. I loved that simple and fun Gwent. However and i bet people who have played Gwent can feel me on this one, having a Nilfgaard deck or "player" completely roll you by locking your cards, your hero power and refreshing his own hero power (hero power in Gwent can play a very big factor in actually winning a round or eventually winning the game) then yeah it wasnt fun, ESPECIALLY since there are cards in Gwent that literally let you just choose a card of your choice from your deck, basically a "win condition" and just blatantly win a round or the game. That seriously just pissed me off.
HOWEVER i HATE LoR CAUSE I CANT EVEN FUDGING PLAY THE GAME FOR THE 3RD DAY IN A ROW DUE TO "MATCHMAKING FAILED OPPONENT FAILED TO CONNECT".
Seriously wtf is even happening at or with their servers that this shitshow is still happening for the 3rd day in a row. I cant play it on PC or on Android and i literally just started to like the game, made a deck that rly seemed fun for me and wanted to try it out BUT OH WELL i guess i can only hope.
"200 years experience" indeed, cap. More like i will have to wait 200 fcking years just to finally play a game, jesus christ.
I think the concept of replacing him in the Classic set may not even make sense. They say he's rotating out, but also that the Hall of Fame will no longer exist. To me, that implies that we're finally getting a "core set" implementation, and that Classic will no longer exist as one monolithic evergreen headache. Some Classic cards will go out, and eventually some will come back in, probably along with other cards from old expansions.
So yeah, this was a good excuse for a "Rogues Gallery" lore piece, but I'm pretty sure the question isn't even relevant.
You get the low-roll 900xp *and* it is almost impossible to not complete (draw 30 cards). So, if you play at all, you can't avoid completing the quest you didn't want.
This indeed. The quests should encourage you to play or try out something different (class/game mode), but it feels like the low-roll quests are often doing the exact opposite (if you care about maximizing your xp, that is).
Your Scholomance set looks pretty well. My only doubt is about Sentry Totem, because Shaman has no synergy with holding revealed cards, so that would feel a bit odd to have such effect for him in my opinion.
It's not a slot machine fiesta. The cards count as Darkmoon Faire cards, so the no-duplicate rules apply.
I would expect maybe 1 or 2 legendaries, and maybe a handful of epics in such a small set. Collecting all the commons and rares will require 20 packs at most -- 15 if you're extremely unlucky and get only one epic and no legendaries. Hopefully you've saved some dust if you think the rarer cards are going to be important to you. You already know a legendary drop is pretty unlikely -- but I suppose there's always a chance they'll hand out the legendary for free. I wouldn't be surprised if they made it part of a bundle.
Don't get me wrong -- I do think the blind pack system is outdated and predatory, but I don't think the mini-expansion is the time to be angry about it. Save your rage for when they announce the "big changes" coming with the new Hearthstone year. They claim they are going to make the game more accessible to small-budget players, but I'm not sure I believe the Activision overlords are going to let them do anything too revolutionary.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
It is LIKE a start of turn effect, you'll need it to survive the turn to be worth it tho.
Heavy hint, think that this one sells it:
ALL 11 Old Gods!
the issue is to survive until the big bosses appear ...
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
I’ve been thinking for a while that it’s a start of turn-type effect, but I can’t figure out what the first part of the riddle refers to
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Nope
Think outside of the classic mechanics. Outside of the keywords.
And the real hint it's in the first part of the riddle.

Nozdormu is such a dumb card the devs keep ignoring for some reason.
I really wish they'd just change its effect...
