Garona seems the obvious choice here

As someone who played WoW only casually, and not since Pandaria, these little lore back stories are very cool!  Love it!

Quote From OldenGolden

I've never liked the Hall of Fame at all, so I'm hoping that there will be a bit of rotation during each expansion meta, with some of the basics and classics rotating in and out, something along those lines. . . the wild meta seems just too set in its OP ways for any real meta changes, so the HoF becomes a kind of permanent exile for any cards that don't make that particular cut (which is nearly all cards that rotate into wild). I think periodic returns of cards like Sylvanas and Edwin, or even Power Overwhelming and the despicable Ice Lance can only help in keeping the meta fresh and interesting in those 4 month stretches.

Unless those cards get changed inherently in design, there's no way that Ice Lance or Power Overwhelming being included in a set (even if for a limited time) is healthy.  The reason that cards like Ice Lance, Power Overwhelming, Ice Block, and Leeroy (just to name a few egregious examples) were Hall of Famed is because of the unhealthy interactions it allowed.  Ice Lance provided a class that inherently can easily control a board too easy of a way to deal large amounts of burst damage for relatively cheap (Imagine Ice lance in the current meta with Wandmaker.....yea I didn't think so)

Power Overwhelming in a similar vein was never used to trade, it was almost 100% used to find burst lethal, usually with a charge minion.  Granted they've either rotated out most charge minions, or stopped printing charge as a keyword, but the point is that Power Overwhelming still enables too much burst capability, remember double power overwhelming, double soul fire.  Yea 16 burst damage from hand for only 4 mana sounds pretty fair right?

I'm just pointing out that while I think that Hearthstone does need a change up (like a rotating classic/core set).  It doesn't need those broken cards returning, at least not in the current forms.

I don't know which is better - my gut says that 10 gold for three wins probably felt better because winning felt like it mattered then. I do know that the current rewards track feels better than the first iteration did, and I feel like I will have a good deal of gold to show for my efforts by the end of the expansion. I'm a paying player (I buy most bundles), but I like to supplement with gold-bought packs at the beginning of an expansion too.

From a F2P point of view, so comparing cost to achievable gold (again considering I am F2P - meaning casual), the new system is no better. At best, it is the same. They could have done absolutely nothing, and I'd still be in the same place. I'm sure they've captured a load of people who suddenly feel like it is worth spending more money, but for me it is actually a little bit more boring than before. Their *really big thing* was "a sense of achievement". Meh.

Considering how bad it was to start with, when they first said that it was great, but actually shafted players, it really shows how money grabbing they are. 

I'm level 41 at the moment. Vaguely looking forward to the level 50 hero avatar thing. Hoping they are going to take away all the clicks needed to navigate around.

Nope

I accidentally hit legend with Blood Rez Priest! I say "accidentally" because I wasn't planning on making a push this season, I just wanted to enjoy the Diamond 5 ranks. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), I went on a 5-game winning streak when I was at Diamond 2, with my last opponent getting disconnected lol. Oh well. 

Anyway, it's a pretty fun deck. I got the list from Dekkster, it's your normal Rez Priest with Blood of G'huun added in. It's decent against Shamans and Rogues, although the Tickatus Warlock matchup (and sometimes Zoo) is absolutely miserable. I had a game when I managed to get 4 Mass Resurrection from discover cards and I still lost. But I still had some fun games (like copying your opponent's Rattlegore below), especially if you're a degenerate like me who somehow enjoys playing a resurrect deck (as long as it's in standard, I don't like the utter degeneracy of Rez Priest in Wild hehe).

10th January update: Wild Card's Elemental Mage: Grand Finale taking me to 1000 Wins!

1000 wins with the Mage class, thanks to this awesome Elemental Mage deck from Wild Card.

This deck brings back memories of the Journey to Ungoro expansion from 2017. Want to know more about the deck? Take a look at the Born to be Wild Podcast: https://youtu.be/_3wpdzeVUqs

Nice one, didn't see it vertically lol, it's such an underrated card (no.)

I'm here and there

Coming and going everywhere

I'm so fragile, oh so frail!

You'll never see me proc

'Cause I'm already dead.

The best system, in my opinion, would be to make a combined rotating core set from Basic + Classic + Wild cards and make that core set quick to unlock by game play, like Basic currently is. That would give new and returning players a good base to build decks from. And since the set would be rotating, it won't lead to the same strong cards being played in every meta.

That would be uncharacteristically generous for Hearthstone, so I'm not betting on it happening. But it's not impossible either.

You can't craft extra copies of cards anyway: the game won't let you. So I think he meant there is no benefit to just "crafting" and not "crafting extra".

I think it's safer to not craft a golden Edwin right now, at least if you're doing it for dust value. There will be an announcement of the new system at some point and likely you'll still be able to craft one then if that will be beneficial dust-wise.

Let´s have some fun :)

I'm at level 100, halfway to 101 as of today. I like the fact that I can get a level or two a day with the daily and a little bit (or more, for two) of play time.

Same here, but I still wonder if the old system of 3 wins rewarding 10 gold is better or worse. What do you think?

Just an idea- would it be possible to add an 'of last three months' leaderboard below the total score? Kind of like a standard mode for this game : D

Or I could just want to have as close to a full collection as possible? Because having more cards means having better options? Because not everyone plays Standard alone? Because the more cards you own, regardless of whether they are nerfed or not, means having a better time with the game? 

 I wonder what it could be? 

I prefer to just delete the class.

Yup, i agree with you and therefore here catch a snowball!

You know I have a feeling Aphelios won't be played not because it's weak, but because it's too dang confusing.

Nailed it! Your turn, Fedrion. I even spelled its name vertically hehehe

A little useless, perhaps.

Littering around after beat

All it takes is a little nap

Readying to reheat.

 

 

Al'ar?

It would fit better the "littering around" since at least being dormant prevents it from outright dying, and the reheat, Phoenix, heat, am I right? lol
