The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom comes out that day. Y U DO TIS 2 URSELF?

I participated in the previous open beta, so I guess I'm sitting this one out. Diablo IV can wait until June/whenever I finish with TotK lol.

Except they don't read like that ;)

Groovy Cat reads

"Your Hero Power gives your hero 1 more Attack this game."

while Free Spirit reads

"Your Hero Power gains 1 more Armor this game."

which are worded SURPRISINGLY different and neither works as they are stated...

[As 1 more should still account for 0+x]

For anyone that disagrees - I take the hit - DK cards now also work for all the other classes (counting souls).

Not two weeks post the new exp and it's the same feeling again. :/

Wow, this is moving slow... Some feedback:

Playing against Blood DK makes me want to eat my shoe. It is such a boring matchup no matter what deck you are using. They discover multiple copies of the exact card they need from a very limited pool of cards. +40 health with Vampiric Blood? No problem. 3-4 straight Frostwyrm's Fury? No problem either. Build a board, have it destroyed and rebuild? Enjoy an endless stream of Corpse Explosion, Blood Boil or Soulstealer. 

I've never got Frostwyrm's Fury playing my blood DK.  How did that work?

Believe me, I enjoy a good control deck! But, could you imagine if old Control Warrior could generate 4+ copies of Brawl, Grommash Hellscream, Sylvanas Windrunner, you get the gist xD

I totally agree that having the ability to gain lots of copies of control cards is dumb.  I play the hell out of Blood DK because it's efficient and consistent.

The montage of all the streamers (inc Brode) was tough to get through... 😭

But really glad to hear that Ridiculous Hat is joining the HS team as a community manager. Really glad for all of them moving on in life.

Just a reminder to everyone, prime gaming does have 3 standard packs available this time.

I know, right? A Control player's dream! It's awesome :D

...but seriously something should probably be done.

I have been trying all week to make a Lightshow deck work but it ended up with a very low curve because mage has awful survival tools at the moment, and Lightshow wrecks late-game strategies. The Lightshow version is better against blood dk but worse against everything else. Both versions are so heavily dependent on drawing one card though (Frozen Touch or Lightshow).

I've been trying to figure out some way to get Lightshow to work, but without Commander Sivara, I don't even know how to get it to trigger enough to get the accomplishment

I've rarely got Commander Sivara to work. (I also cut Audio Splitter.) Most of the time my additional copies of Lightshow are created by Volume Up or Rewind. With spell damage from Silvermoon Arcanist or Aegwynn I have not needed more than 4 or 5 copies of Lightshow.

It is far more common to die before then though.

A Hearthstone podcast staple indeed. The Angry Chicken was my entry point for listening to podcasts and I have followed Jocelyn and Garrett for almost the entire running of TAC. They have incredible chemistry and the episode where Garrett announced his departure, even I shed a few tears. Always sad to see such amazing quality content come to an end, but hey that is life indeed, so true.

Thanks for all the entertainment over the past decade and good luck with the baby! 

Bridge Riff can be played in other places too.

The Riff package is so underwhelming ... sad

Well anyways, here's Worgen Wall.

What do you mean, what do you mean, I SAY WHAT DO YOU MEEEEEAN, mean, mean, meaaaaaaan this chorus is repetitive?

Quote From Pezman

Is anyone else sick of Lightshow? Every mage I fight seems to draw both copies of this, plus double Rewind followed by Commander Sivara. Or they discover extra copies off Vast Wisdom. That's a fricking ridiculous amount of damage.

I've not encountered it.  I keep seeing people try Lightshow, but I'm playing aggro to finish out the month so maybe I'm not giving them enough time to ramp into it

Quote From Dunyil

Can't be sure what Blizzard thinks will make the game 'healthy' but in wild, I would certainly recommend the below adjustments to make the meta less stale and oppressive:

 

Twig of the World Tree - 6 mana, 3 durability; (slow the rate of the obvious T4-5 mana cheat)

Swordfish - 2/2, buff weapon and minion +1 attack; (currently Swordfish is too strong given how consistently it is tutored)

Cavern Shinyfinder - Combo: Draw a Weapon; 

Illuminate - If it's a holy spell reduce by (2) mana; (reduce the Big Priest spell fishing for T3 Neptulon pulls)

Neptulon's Hand - Cannot attack; (can only attack when Neptulon does; not as individual units)

Clownfish - Your next Murloc costs (2) less; (reduce the huge swing turns from Murloc Shaman)

Time Warp - The next turn is yours; (no longer an EXTRA turn- non stackable)

Prince Renathal - 40HP; (agro is just too dominant)

Anonymous Informant - 3 mana;

Contract Conjurer - Costs (2) less for every secret you control.

 

Highly doubt any changes other than Twig will occur, however.

While I agree on most of these cards, Twig needs to be redesigned to refresh mana crystals instead of give you 10 mana. Most times twig is broken with Sphere of Sapience so the durability on the weapon doesn't matter.
