I dont see the issue of the powercreep not when like half classes are really bad ,there i 100% think buffs are way better then nerfs.
But half of the classes are only weak relative to the classes that have seen the most powercreep. They are not inherently weak, and it is equally valid to say the other classes are too strong. The two viewpoints would be equivalent except that powercreep gives us a more fixed reference point. It is still subjective whether it is good or bad, but I personally would like my old cards to remain relevant for as long as possible, and hence would like powercreep minimised.
And the good/best balance INVOLVES NERFS AND BUFFS. And for buffs over nerfs I'd say for msot people in general it feels better to have stuff buffed (especially that wasn't very good/good at all before) vs seeing something nerfed.
While I agree it feels good to see some cool but underused cards get buffed, players often have seriously strong feelings of dislike towards OP cards and they are happy to see them nerfed. Also, buffing cards can end up fulfilling the saying "You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain." Remember Luna's Pocket Galaxy and now Librams? Both were considered cool while they were weak, but after being buffed a decent chunk of the player-base came to hate them.
And for buffs not being something that sees play i think that's not always a bad thing
Agreed. Again this links into the whole 'becoming a villain' thing. If cards don't become big in the meta, they don't tend to become hated, so you just have a net win of making a cool deck a bit more playable. While this is an absolute win, the fact it doesn't impact the meta means you still have the same problem where players want the meta to change. So you need some buffs to be relevant in the meta
Yeha nto evry bfuf has to make it meta but some is fine.
And librams arent an issue, Pocket galaxy was.
ANd if librams are/do become issue thats on blizz nto for the buff but for hofing spellbreaker and alot of other answers (or being nerfed) in general.
And aslo other classes that are terrible used to have good but that got nerfed into unplayablity many (certainly overtime) and have only made elss decks/classes viable not more.
Like scholo wouldve benefited much more from extra warlock/shaman buffs instead of Most of the nerfs IMO.
Dude everyone knew it was a bug. How can anyone think that this was intentional.
Imprisoned Satyr and Scarlet Webweaver can trigger on a 0-cost minion in your hand if I'm not mistaken, haven't played those cards since their release. Counterintuitive, I know, but it does say "random card in your hand" so technically it should just select a random card regardless of the cost.
Bazaar Burglary was a much better design trying to achieve a similar thing.
yes because 2 mana fiery war axe they hit you in the face with every turn after completing their quest on turn 2 is good game design....
Hit face? That's not how that deck is played at all. Besides, the fact it has never been a meta deck shows the effect is completely fair given the requirement of the quest.
It must be nice living in a world where every deck you play against isn't degenerate that plays shit just to play shit an hits you in the fact every single opportunity. I wish i lived there.
If you can bot it then its still free xp. Essentially the idea is that you can leave it up all night and be up like around 1000xp per day depending on the hours you're willing to leave your device turned on.
There's going to be a time where blizz starts putting a cap on the max amount of xp possible in a day, and perhaps even implement something like giving extraordinarily low xp for those under, say, bottom 2 of the list, or tie it up to the number of moves completed per game. You getting only a mere 200xp for 4 hours is testament to them willing and having spent every ounce of muscle to stop easy xp from rolling in.
But 200xp for no effort on your part is still free xp. Why not?
200 xp is worth around 10 g or less, so for 4 hours no way it's worth it even if you scripted it. I think we should all take a break of thinking about xp and the system and enter the game when we want to relax and have fun :)

I'm really late to the party this week, but I wanted to see if you thought this looked a little crowded text-wise. Keeping it in line with Tent Trasher suggests the wording should be this way, but it looks clunky.
My best guess is 12 per day. I've done some significant browsing today doing site achievements and 12 is the last number I remember seeing. It also fits the theme of 12 Days of Christmas.
It seems like your fixes would address pretty much all the issues I had with this version, and I can see how the excess Actions problem will be reduced when more cards are added and players can build their own decks. For the Battlefields, I also agree that it would be nice to have some things randomly generated at the beginning (like wall and barrel placements) to make games more different. I haven’t played on the desert battlefield so I can’t offer feedback on that. Also, another idea I had is to potentially experiment with a hexagonal battlefield. I think it would make sense to have most battlefields be made of squares, but I think that a few hexagonal battlefields could make the game play very differently.
I am pretty much fine with the ad, but I would like it if it appeared less often. Getting a video ad pop up on every screen is a lot. Maybe if it was every other screen or every third screen it wouldn't be so annoying.
What is your opinion of it? I tried it for about 4 hours today and i barely got 200 xp, maybe it was good when the system first came out and i heard rumbling of a stealth nerf to it. But personally i think it's a decent workaround for the system if you don't care about playing the game or your BGs ranking(i went from around 1.5k to zero doing this very quickly, which doesn't matter since i don't care about the ranking and it doesn't matter) I have two accounts, i have a phone i don't use it's pretty easy to do, and it helps people get their "finish in top 2 in BGs" quest which shouldn't even exist.
I hate to admit it, but I chose Bloodyface. What is stupid is that the only reason I don't like him is that his photos are always him showing the Emo attitude. It's petty. It's superficial. It's totally stupid. But it is my reason.
I don't have much Experience with Magic, only played Arena for like 3-4 Seasons, but their Approach at portraying Character looks very well thought out. I also read that Mark Rosewater wrote a Ton of Letters about Game Design as a Whole, so checking those out could be very helpful.
I should have been more specific. I meant that there should be ways to get gold outside of the reward track / arena wins. Three wins nets you ten gold was a poor system, but I would like there to be something akin to it that allows you to stockpile gold past this very bad system.
i think if anythign should just increase gold from system/have more lvls with leser gold rewards but still same total exp so get gold faster.
Personaly I dont see need of gold outside the reward track as reward
I just see as this,if track rewards arent enough then should buff the rewards and not introduce more system(s).

No, that one’s easy! Just an OP Demon Hunter card with flavor text about leaving opponents with a bloody face

Not really, "blood(y)" and "face" are pretty easy words to mix into a card name.
