Have they announced the prices of those decks?

Its still a big ask to pay for something that may not even last more than 2 months before rotation happened. But we dont have the details yet, so for now Im just concerned.

Cannot wait for my full set full dust refund

I'm extremely excited for this mode, as someone with many wild cards but very little interest in Wild due to the insane power level. I think restricted card pools are really fun and interesting, and unlike what people here are saying I see no way this could be filled with bots like Classic since they would frequently be outdated and need new decks.

I just hope they keep the format cycling regularly, like every month or so, to keep things interesting. If the mode is too expensive they can just loan out more cards for free, like an extended core set just for Twist.

To be honest, if you dont have a good collection now, its better to just quit the game. Hearthstone is fun, but its rather expensive and fairly hard to keep up with. Even most aggro decks nowadays need legendaries.

The only class you might be able to enjoy standard with is DK, but you'll likely still need some extra cards.

Or you can dabble with arena, just about the only mode that doesn't require a collection to have fun.

Brief comments on the new mode;

- Its basically a larger tavern brawl, which is useful to team5 for experimentation and to collect data. Perhaps if this was in before renathal was introduced, it might have allowed them to see the impact of what this card would have.

- Im not sure if this mode would be successful, because anyone interested in the old sets would probably just play wild, and lets be frank and say that this doesn't help new players, or casual players at all because most of them would simply not have the cards for it. The idea that players would start flooding blizz with money buying old packs is probably a non-starter, especially when an 8 year old expansion pack remains at the same price.

- The changing nature of this new mode makes crafting cards very unattractive. Imagine crafting a legendary, and then finding out its unusable a few weeks/months later. In other words, if Im railroaded into crafting something just to play this mode, I think I'll just not play it.

- It'll likely replicate classic. A briefly popular mode which at later stages gets filled with bots because no one's interested in playing it.

- The only positive thing about this mode is that sometimes, it might be easier to complete the standard achievements with this than using wild. For example, if youre missing Saxophone Soloist and dont want to craft em. Well, here's a mode that makes it easier to discover that card because most of the murlocs are not in it.

Doesn't introduce any weird gimmicks into gameplay yet. I won't be surprised if it happens, to spice things up.

That is really a bummer indeed. I wonder if the reason to replace Classic was strictly because the user interface did not allow it or whether it was also motivated by a financial one.

The recipe for making this new mode successful is having enough participating players which have to buy old expansion packs if they do not already own them yet. 

Good question, I hope they get replaced straight up which in my case I do not have to complete them once again, though I doubt I am that lucky. 

Ok, but what will happen to classic achievements?

Took a while, but now we finally know what the "spell locked" part during phase 1 on the roadmap was.

The challenge is to start taking care of yourself and your mental health in particular. 😞

I've always had this problem in LOR

Essentially you climb from stone to masters with your off meta lists and then you're done.

You've proved yourself...you've won.

There is no more counter play, no more I told you so, no more anything

I've done this twice now where I did what people thought couldn't be done and I did it in a way people said shouldn't be done.

So what's next?

What challenge remains for me?

Idk

Blood DK deck  / E.T.C Band Manager

Hi Kris :) thank U for Ur great job. I have question about ETC Manager Team : Theotar , Steamcleaner, Lot`hemar is correct ?

Right now I am away from home so I am mostly playing Hearthstone and Pokemon Masters EX on my Phone. This is good as it saved me from some hard save file corruption shenanigans happening in Payday 2 this days.

On the switch I have been continuin Tears of The Kingdom (Already "beated it", but still going a bit) and Advance Wars Reboot Camp. Got it before Zelda, but it got eclipsed before I could finish the second campaign. Also getting some extra pokemon to get into Scarlet from home without emptying my save files from other games, but taking my sweet time.

When I get to use my laptop for something other than work, even though it is rally low end, I get to play some Mini-Metro/Mini-Railways, Wargroove, Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic (old games I still come back too) and then I went through and gave a chance to Pawnbrarian wich really feels good. Right now, I am thinking on playing some old disney games from my childhood if I get bored, like Treasure Planet Battle at Procyon (Excelent game) or the Pirates of the Caribbean at worlds end (have never come back to it, so I hope it is as fun as I remember). Lastly If I get lucky and this PC runs Castle Crashers (As it has problems with Wargroove I do not think so) I will get to try it too, as it has been on my backlog for a long time.

The next mage who counter my anachronos or my astalor with this w<fsqS3GQBDE4RHSDFT5JDTTJ? invocation counter secret, i burn his balls !

xd

;)

I know I am late to this but my quick thoughts:

This does not help mage at all.

Pozzik, Audio Engineer will still be the best card in the game. Played on curve it leaves the opponent with 4 mana and two 3-mana cards they want to get rid of. Playing a 3-mana 3/3 is terrible and doing so on turn 4 is even worse. It wrecks the opponent's curve. I expect it will be nerfed again.

Ooooh big update the meta do nothing ping deck just lost to my ramp list.

Like zzzzz easy they lost

Even with the nuts

Get owned by a good deck rofl

Ooooh alshan varus that is a good deck

But one I'm built to own sorry

Yeah no I get it you can hard counter with your own bad deck, but the thing is I actually climb with my decks.

Not pull them out for 1 bad game rofl

Anyone can meme only good players can meme and climb see the difference?

Quote From Crusader2010

Age of wonders 4 seems a bit lackluster from what i'm reading. Only played it a bit. Everything that involves a hard "META" really puts me off, so i won't be playing this for a while.

I was interested in Age of Wonders 4; wasn't planning on playing much multiplayer, though. Not sure what it is about 4X games but I just wade around in the kiddie pool with medium-difficulty bots, playing all the factions until I get bored. Probably not worth the $50, then.

As for the topic at-hand, I've been playing Diablo IV all day every day lol. Taking a break from my Druid to work on a Rogue - they are dramatically different playstyles, so that's fun.

I finally uninstalled Hearthstone. I spend too much on the game for the small amount of enjoyment it offers me, and with our Custom Card Competitions having closed shop for now, it was time to make it official. No more of this "I'm taking a break" while it sits there and entices me to return; a hard cutoff was necessary.

I also quite literally just now uninstalled Marvel Snap from my phone. I just can't maintain a healthy, balanced relationship with the game: it's still very fun and enjoyable to play, but everything else about it pulls at the wrong parts of my brain. I play too much and spend too much out of FOMO or whatever and then I'm burnt out come the next month; I needed to divorce myself from the situation completely.

I've recently started a game of Distant Worlds 2 (with my usual huge galaxies and far apart from other empires). Been wanting to learn this game a bit after playing DW:Universe for some time in the past.

Age of wonders 4 seems a bit lackluster from what i'm reading. Only played it a bit. Everything that involves a hard "META" really puts me off, so i won't be playing this for a while.

When i'm bored of DW, i usually spend some hours in Rimworld before coming back. 350 mods really change the game for good.

Marvel snap i haven't played in a while, since i gave them an email about the UI annoyances that really make me throw the phone out the window. Like i told them, i'm not coming back until they do something about it. It's been a few months and nothing. Oh well...

Also sad about not having enough time or mood to play Spacebourne 2. The game receives lots of updates but nothing that is close to the systems i want to see improved (maybe except a few bugs here and there). It seems to me it keeps getting too complicated without things getting fleshed out properly in a timely manner. Nevertheless, the game is truly awesome and i plan on coming back to it soon. Hopefully.

Hearthstone, the one and only game I play (and have time for).

I am currently dabbling into the other game modes to complete as many achievements as possible whilst passing level 300 on the Rewards Track later today.

I have always been a Diablo fan, but I simply do not have the diskspace to install D4 now, so I will wait awhile and be patient. Perhaps during the next sale, I will finally pick it up together with a new HD or PC ^_^
