I only vaguely remembered that this was given out as sort of a treasure hunt. If it weren't for that forum post earlier this week I would've just missed this one.
I do like the idea though. Maybe if they are arranging another early card from the next expansion as a giveaway, they can explore the same idea again.
New game mode....considering how downhill things have been going in Battlegrounds in terms of balance, the idea of them adding another mode to work on doesn't fill me with optimism. They can barely handle the one they have.
who else thinks that a 3 mana units should not be kinda unkillable with damage (looking at you Soraka) i mean 3 mana 1/6 and she even heals herself back up as she attacks so that she has pseudo regeneration on a 3 mana 1/6 in a deck that wins through unit heal... i mean she eighter has to go to 4 mana or nerfed to a 1/4 statline.
That she is 3 mana just to create the dream curve of Crusty Codger-> Star Spring (which deserves a nerf to 3 or 4 mana aswell) -> Soraka ->Tahm Kench is very forced synergy. That level of forced synergy is... not an enrichment to the game imo.
While it the perfect curve is a dream scanario that often doesn't happen it is often hardly possible to beat Soraka as a tempo oriented deck, which needs to be adressed imo..
Soraka is annoying too, but I honestly feel like Kench is just 100% broken. I have a deck with him in it and I just deleted it even though it worked well because I feel sick using him. Sometimes people just quite the second they see him come down. That's just dumb to have a champ that is so badly overpowered.
Soraka and Kench are vulnerable to board clears (e.g. Reckoning), and they have low attack, so e.g. fearsome can bypass them pretty easily.
Edit: just played nightfall aggro against Soraka/Kench. They curved out pretty much as you'd except. I won by t5 with an upgraded Nocturne. They couldn't block any of my fearsome guys and Diana took away a couple of their key cards. The deck is not broken. It is just strong against some archtypes.
We had some unintended downtime this way-too-early morning. Because this kind of stuff always interests me, and transparency can be fun, let's see what went wrong!
Event Log
All times in Eastern.
2:43 AM - Out of Cards goes offline.
2:49 AM - A service unreachable email gets fired off.
This email did not trigger the alerts that it should have. Since we did a site migration a couple of months ago, our tech for that changed and was never tested. Pfft, downtime. That'll never happen!
3:01 AM - The messages begin to hit me on Discord and Twitter.
See, you don't need proper downtime checks!
3:03 AM - Investigation Begins
3:19 AM - Problem Discovered
Our container service decided it wanted to do an automatic update. That really should not have been an issue but because the containers running our site were not set to automatically restart, the site went down.
3:22 AM - Site comes back online
Updates for the service have been disabled - we'd rather manage these ourselves anyway.
What We're Changing
Obviously, our big issue is that our app containers didn't restart themselves. That's shitty and a huge oversight. A configuration change will go out in the morning that will resolve this.
The secondary issue is garbage monitoring of the site. There should be some serious alarms going off when stuff goes wrong. I'll make sure we have better processes in place going forward to notify of downtime.
Thanks to those who shared the strategy. Normally I would love figuring that sort of thing out myself, but I just haven't had any spare brainpower recently. Besides, I'm cheesed they did the same garbage they did with Kael'thas. Let me disenchant them for godsake!
wow chill, I think the guy had commented in a post before the announcement, predicting they will do expansion reveal and new game mode reveal on the same day. God damn, can't someone just be happy for their own reasons here without being downvoted? yall lawyers or somethin?

Congrats on the Legend. I hit it the first time back in September and was playing at launch. Got mine with Even Shaman, but Odd Mage is also a favorite of mine! Been running a list slightly different from this, but might give yours a try.
After the rotation standard brawl became a lot less enjoyable and I stopped playing MTGA completely. I hope for historic brawl to be permanent eventually

No need to speculate here, it's the same Icon as the "Achivements and progression" logo from the roadmap.

It's not that bad - I did it on NA, EU and Asia a few days ago after reading a forum post.
Just concede and enjoy the shinys :)
Sidenote: the golden animation looks like Transfer Student craps a paper plane at one point. So there's that.

Tom Kench is OP!

Don’t worry, the new game mode will definitely be pvp. They clearly differentiate between single player content and a new mode

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
I'm a newcomer to the expert set.
I'm an early spring representative.
But no one tries to craft me or get.
So I'm waiting to be competitive.

Apologies, but I am really busy with real life things at the moment. I don’t mind passing the riddle to someone if they would like a go

They aren't going to announce details on that until the start of a new Hearthstone year.

I mean, technically you are traveling into the future, just, you know, at normal speed.
Also, obligatory "Ooh, an announcement that they're going to announce an announcement!" Can't believe no one did that already.

Hearthstone Mage Balance Patch Releasing Next Week Targets Nerfs on Solarian Prime and Evocation
Yep! Never an issue in Wild. Hopefully when she rotates out they'll un-nerf her.

Aight man! I'll add ya! I'm on the NA servers
Blizzard Confirms New Hearthstone Expansion, New Game Mode, and Rewards Revamp Are Revealed Next Week on October 22
Called it? Called what? They just said they are going to make an announcement later.
I'm quitting Hearthstone (again, but for real this time)
I'm going to lock this thread. No need to bump it with a response like that.

Ulduar is on Blizzard's Whiteboard, Will Come to Hearthstone One Day
Yes, Ulduar is long on my Hearthstone wish list already.
Other would-be Pandaria, introducing monk and a stronger in the lore going Lordaeron expansion.

Honestly, if they implement achievements at the start of the next expansion and those are exciting enough, I might even return to the game.

The same here. Anything to make the mobile experience better is welcome.
