9-1 in my last ten games my favorite was dropping dreadway then dropping a leveled GP that blew up their broad and nexus. Close second was triggering Sej on turn 7 to waste my opponents attack phase with a bunch of 0s then rallying and murdering those 0s that survived he immediatelysurrendered.
Sej and GP feel totally fine and not the slightest bit broke .......................

I have a question: The topic is "food or eating", so would something like Hungry Crab that canonically "eats" a minion be acceptable?
Its up to the mods to decide but since I've suggested this theme, my opinion is that yes, things that eat are acceptable. I think Humongous Razorleaf might be a better example, since Hungry Crab is already a food.
We were debating the issue, but I would say then that "the word of God" has spoken. From my perspective, it's a matter of appropriate flavor: Hungry Crab eats Murlocs, but E.M.P. Operative does not "eat" a Mech.

The effect means the turtle has to die in a single blow (barring buffs to its Health), being essentially immune to ping damage and minor trades. But who would want to hurt such an adorable thing?
When he isn't raising giant armies of the undead or corrupting his opponents into his pawns, he owns the most successful frozen treat business in Azeroth.
I didn't think that the sarcasm in my post could have been anymore obvious but hey this is the internet I guess.
Sure thing, but how many serious Sejuani nerf discussions we had since rising tides? 2? Given how problematic this card is i think overall that the Community slep big way on Sejuani's powerlevel.
No one is sleeping on Sejuani power, the things is the card is a juggernaut in decks that can turbo her but in decks who can't do that, she just came across as decent.
I can make a bad deck for any champion you care to name. That doesn't make them "just decent."
I think several of these cards were overrated because they came out early on in the reveals. If the reveal order had been reversed, many of these would not have impressed anyone. For example, Whimsy looks silly if you know about Hush.
the hero portrait unlike all others so far has ZERO new voice lines and doesnt have an unique Hero power design despite the fact that they recorded lines for the solo content AND actually used a new hero power animation. its bewildering
This is the first bundle I've passed on. I could justify it even if it just had different voicelines, anything on top of that would have been a bonus, but paying for yet another Jaina skin, plus 200+ dust just isn't worth it.
You guys are so funny. If you spent the same amount of time thinking about card balance as you do tearing one another down you'd have fixed the game by now.
Okay then... let's start with the bizness:
Sejuani: "level up effect: If the opponent's nexus takes damage during your attack, frostbite all enemies"
Riptide Rex: "Plunder: Cast 4 Cannon Barrages at TARGET units" (Powerlevel down but decision making up)
The Leviathan: eighter: Health from 8 to 5 or "damage enemy nexus 2 times by 1" as the start of the round effect
Aurelion Sol 20 attack level up -> 25 attack level up
Stygian Onlooker: Combo: ... i mean Nightfall: gain +1 attack and fearsome until end of turn.
I'm expecting a Year of the <zodiac> announcement as a bare minimum. Going heavy into details on it would be great use of their time. I would also love to see them announce the April expansion, but I'm also afraid they may not only because that would be 6-7 weeks before its actual launch, which isn't a timeline Hearthstone has used in a while since it "kills hype".
I hope we do see an expansion announcement though, and I hope the start of next year is so full of content that they can string us along for those many weeks with more announcements.
I'm really looking forward to how they end up structuring this. I'm curious if virtual ticket is still going to be a requirement if said virtual ticket might be discounted if it is still a thing, and if there is going to be any Esports component at all.
I could see there being no esports for 1 less thing going on that weekend (for each game doing esports) and it would shift focus entirely to the content each game is highlighting potentially boosting virtual ticket sales.
I'm also curious if this does well, will it mean we'll see more BlizzConline events on years where they don't have a ton of major announcements so they don't need to rent the con? Or perhaps smaller BlizzConline events during the year (halfway between BlizzCons maybe?) as a way to get a bunch of Blizzard announcements into the wild for an upcoming HS expansion, a WoW patch, and so on. Would be a lot of fun to have another Blizzard-filled weekend in the year.
A little weird how it couldn't still be in November... But I guess because it took them some time to decide what to do that they don't want to rush into a convention now that they've announced. So everyone has time to get their presentations together, as well as giving cosplay contestants time to prepare their entries.
Sometimes I visit Hearthpwn just to see whats happening. Every time I go there I appreciate this site more and more. People here are nicer and friendlier. Even if discussions happen less often, it is worth it because they are so much better.
If you don't have it already, definitely check out the discord server too, I believe that has made a difference since launch. It's a treasure trove of HS content covered on the site, sometimes more accessible due to its the condensed format and I find it's easier for the community to send quick messages and images, whereas the forums are great for larger more detailed "old school" messages between members. :)
I really don't see why they would make a new hero power animation and a new hero portrait for the solo-content, but then give this one the same animation and voice-lines.
Personally I don't care too much since I am not going to buy this, it just seems strange to me.
I definitely bought it for completion's sake. I can't chance the hero portrait never being available again.
I hope this whole thing was a word of warning though for Blizzard and I hope the sales reflected it. People want new voice lines if you're paying. This portrait honestly should have been a reward for playing the adventure in a Heroic setting.
I also agree on the Iceblast thing. Its so lame we aren't getting special effect hero powers =(
The completionist in me wants to get this, but it is hard to justify yet another Jaina portrait (I have the 1000 wins one) for $11 (I also have all the mage cards). If it had an alternate animation for the hero power (Iceblast) and/or different voices I probably would but as it is it is sadly a pass.
I know I’m in the minority, but I like this skin. I’m even happy that there were no new voice lines - With new audio, they probably would have made a $15 bundle instead, and then I would have passed.
You guys are so funny. If you spent the same amount of time thinking about card balance as you do tearing one another down you'd have fixed the game by now.
I personally am slowly giving up on playing HS and that's the reason why I don't post as much as before. I'm still here lurking everyday though. I think the page is great and does a very good job integrating other games communities. The speed of admins posts is something to be admired. So maybe I don't like hs that much anymore, but i'd still post the earliest theorycraft decks whenever expansion hits almost everytime.
