Are you okay?

Phew, my phone barely made the cut!

Should've just made all dailies 1000xp. I mean, that 100xp difference is about 15 minutes of play.

Of course, the real question would be is this really even necessary to have low rolled quests in the first place?

Not really satisfied with that 1 mana nerf to Blade Dance, should've been 4 mana or a complete redesign instead, but since they also hit Shardshatter Mystic, I guess we'll be seeing whether it will be possible now to stick boards against soul dhunters.

Nerfing Dinotamer Brann was unexpected and will definitely hit them hard. For some reason I often find myself 1 turn away from stabilizing against highlander hunter, only to be dead from a turn 7 King Krush. So this being 1 turn away will definitely change things.

Voracious Reader nerf was not only necessary, its basically an expected target from its introduction. A 1 mana nerf to this card is enormously brutal. Now at 3 mana if you're stuck with both in hand you might as well just concede the match.

So I guess evolve shaman will be topping the charts now, with druid and warlock perhaps going a few places up. Hunter will probably be unmoved, dhunter and warrior to drop a few places.

Wait for patch to go live tomorrow and reroll :)

So their winteveil event is cardback being back and 4packs of rewards,

while get more then doube it fre free tomroow (500gold and 5packs)

but still even wihtout that, just 4pack for an event is very ltitle comparred to like any previous event that sint forbidden library.

awww come on, i have been a loyal hs player for so long, and my only device is an LG K9, now they are jusg going to hit me whit a "just get a pc 4Head" ?? i am so sad rn, i seriously can't belive they did this to me

Not really convinced by any of these but whatevs.

AF Kay's effect is basically a custom card I made years ago based on one friend who is always late btw 🙂

So much salt.

With these nerfs there is more room for decks who are dominated by DH. Everthing will be fine and Knuckles surely is tested internally. Those tempo swings of Thrall can easily be controlled.

An incomplete set of nerfs is not the same as a useless set of nerfs. If evolve shaman ends up needing a nerf they can just nerf it later.

I don't really see why you think the nerfs will leave more classes "dead in [the] gutter" than there are currently. It is clear that these nerfs will help out the current worst classes (druid, priest, mage and warlock) because whatever happens to the meta, it must slow down at least a little bit. Certainly it does those classes no harm, and a shift in the top decks might well do them more good than the mere improvements to win rates against DH and hunter.

In the end, something will be the OP top deck that people complain about, and that happens whether you nerf cards or buff them, and even if you have perfect foresight when doing so. All that really matters is that nothing is so dominant that it suppresses half the classes simply because they have inherently bad match-ups against the dominant deck/class.

Man there's gonna be a lot of Neutrals polluting the pool now, won't there? Not sure about this Taunt build, smells a lot like Demons and Pirates to me. Stats can only get you so far. Eventually it's about cleaves, poisons, windfuries and divine shields. And these offer none of those. Then again, if the taunt build is strong enough and hits hard enough, games may be even shorter (god please no, I can't take it anymore) so poisonous divine shield bullcrap might be harder to come by. Also worth noting that this build will be available every...single...game. Never banned. If it's good, it'll get old real fast. If it's bad, it's just gonna make the pool worse.

Besides that, the new Demon makes me think it might be a decent transitional piece for Juggler Demons. But again, at the end of the day it's just a big dumb body with no effects.

My takeaway from this: Wait, Sir Finley was removed from the hero pool

Congratulations to Hordaki!

Do I have to part ways with my golden polket now....?

Got the Old God quest today, rerolled it after reading this and ended up with the arena quest >.

Just to clarify - the character has to be originally created in Hearthstone,  not one that originally appeared in WoW but was eventually depicted in Hearthstone.  So characters like Vol'jin or Ozruk aren't allowed, is that right?

Correct: the characters must have originated in Hearthstone first, although they might have migrated to WoW later on (like, say, Elise, Reno, and Sir Finley).

I was meaning to post that link :)

This seems like a miss, at least for Wild.

The nerf to Lorekeeper Polkelt isn't that big of a deal, the main deck it's in (Raza Priest) is just as problematic as before because it's core brokenness hasn't been addressed. Just make Raza the Chained affect only your basic hero power already and be done with it. You can't have a refreshable hero power cost 0 mana. Especially not one that kills everything. Just accept it. Until that gets changed the same exact deck will keep doing the same exact thing in Tier 1 and nothing will touch it. The deck has single-handedly killed off pretty much all control decks since its unnerf and has been doing so before Polkelt was even a thing. Yes, maybe the games won't feel as samey if Polkelt doesn't curve smoothly and has a poor body for cost so it's harder to play out, but that doesn't exactly fix the deck it's problematic in.

Voracious Reader now slots perfectly into Odd Paladin and gets drawn by Crystology which the deck already runs, but that isn't that much of a problem, Odd Paladin hasn't been as dominant as expected. The other deck it fits into is, again, still as broken as before. When your Token Druid opponent can go second and drop their entire hand turn 1, generating a board of 7 minions that faces you for 16 on turn 2, who gives a damn about drawing cards one mana later. There is quite literally no answer to most of Token Druid's early game plays because 0 mana spells like Embiggen in a world of Spellburst cards and Patches is untenable. That goes especially for Gibberling. Voracious Reader's cost going up won't fix the deck's ridiculous built-in highroll.

But the biggest offender of all is missing from the list completely. Just...give Animated Broomstick the Warsong Commander treatment for fuck's sake. How is 1 mana give your whole board Rush acceptable? And that's not even counting the 1/1 Rush body that comes with it. Games should not end turn 3. Because of this thing, they do. It should give one minion rush, at best, or cost way more than 1 mana. Nerfing Animated Broomstick would pretty much solve the Darkglare Warlock problem overnight (or at least nuke its winrate and thus play rate because it would fold to aggro). Losing the ETC OTK wouldn't be that big of a price to pay for getting this little shit out of the game.

Well well well Voracious Reader, you can take this scroll and stick it... somewhere safe.

They removed Shifter Zerus... but... but... the memes...

We’ll see if I deserve the downvotes for C’thun but at least I was right on the taunt “tribe” :

Why Thijs? Isn't he a Standard streamer? Why not Savjz or Dog, both Battlegrounds streamers with large viewership numbers. Is Savjz still on Blizzard's "blacklist"?

Sadly a only very tiny nerf.
