Embrace Wild, where your investments are way more valuable, and where staying up-to-date with the meta is easier, hence making consistency of playtime less meaningful.
That is, you can easily leave Wild for a while, knowing you won't be too far behind when you come back - easing your staying away from the game, and eventually easing your way out.
PS: a good job grants you a good money income, with which you can buy way more packs than quests can grant. So your job is actually boosting your capability to stay up-to-date, with a much lesser effort.Assuming ofc you still like the game.
I made a mistake with my entry where I forgot to add the Pirate Tribe tag. Is there a way it could be re-entered? Also, what do you think? :)
Unfortunately no, you can't edit your submission. You also should have written "Pirate" and "Reborn" with capital letters. Finally, some people will deduce points for using the Classic watermark on a card with Reborn. I'm afraid those are strong indicators for a 1 star rating if you don't get disqualified for the missing Pirate tag in the first place.
You should have come here before submitting, all of those mistakes would have been avoidable. It could have been a good enough entry, not the most creative, but solid enough.
Little late to comment, but I did recently open the Quest. After a single game in wild, where I dropped Jade after Jade I had enough of that, so came here to look for something less repetitive and more playful, and a quest highlander seems to be that. Any suggestions what to replace Maiev,Vulpera Scoundrel and Cristal Merchant with? Is it worth crafting the epics?
Sometimes you have to just take the plunge and stop 'cold turkey', finding other fun games or hobbies to occupy the time you spent on HS. I haven't quit HS, but I did quit WoW, one of the games I loved playing, despite having played it for 10 years, almost 300 mounts at the time (including multiple TCG mounts, some retired mounts, RBG mounts, and many 1% drop dungeon/raid mounts). Not to mention all of the other achs, pets, transmog, etc.
It can be hard to walk away from any game after spending a lot of money/time/effort put into it. Just got to have other fun and enjoyable things to do in its place if/when you want to come back.
Whoa yeah coming from WoW like that really put it into perspective. Thank you, Lyra!
This is what happens with most card games. In order to keep you buying packs, they'll just powercreep the cards into oblivion. It's happened with Yu-Gi-Oh, it's more than likely happened to MtG, and now it's happened to Hearthstone. It's a sad cycle: you either die a fun card game, or live long enough to become an FTK fiesta.
I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh in forever because link summoning took things a step too far for me. But now that your post made me look back on it, and comparing it with the cardgames I play now (HS and LoR), its speed really was absurd.
Games are often decided on turn two because both players will have played half their deck and their entire hand at that point.
Crazy stuff, that was.
For what it's worth Heartstone's mana mechanic and the yearly rotation most likely will never make it devolve into such a state so I feel like them powercreeping cards isn't always necessary. Then again I don't know much about sales, let alone Blizzard's numbers, so it's all assumptions on my part.
there are several achievements that give no points. Why to keep them ? they confuse the reading and have no value. Please either throw them away or give a small value ... tks
I agree with Demonxz95. Southsea Bladedancer is probably your best card, but you need to change the art. I also might increase the cost to 3 mana. 2 mana to hit three things for 2 damage is really good, especially when they aren't random targets like with Cleave or other similar cards. Also if she had more health you could set up some interesting trades running her into smaller minions and then killing the ones with higher attack through the ability, but with 1 Health she will die no matter what she hits. *edit* I really like the 6 mana 5/2 statline and the art is pretty good. All around nice card.
Thank you! But it actually is a 6 mana 6/2 right now and since the statline is my last issue with her do you think I should drop the attack to 5? Are there any meta cards at 6 health that ask for removal at the moment?

Really? I never thought about it sounding strange. Since divine shield is a one-time damage immunity I thought it was clear that once you pop the bubble it doesn't come back. Like Righteousness, Scalelord and so on... It never even occurred to me that the wording was misleading.
The stats/cost maybe, more so the health, but idk, it sounds that strange?
The difference between those two cards and Daelin as that those two cards specifically just give it once. It's just "give them Divine Shield" full stop. Since Daelin's effect is a permanent aura, the effect is technically giving them a "permanent Divine Shield" as the effect is trying to be applied permanently. Perhaps just "Battlecry: Give your other Pirates Divine Shield (wherever they are)" would work instead.
I'd say it's probably best to get rid of a stat-point. One other thing I will mention is that Daelin is technically not a pirate, but he's a "lord admiral".

Twitch Prime has partnered up with Riot to offer some nice rewards in Legends of Runeterra for the fourth and last time (at least for now).
When I log into Twitch Prime LOR page, I see 4 capsules labeled "Claimed" (including the one I just got, thank you) and 1 more labeled "Coming Soon", implying there will be a 5th in the near future.
As far as I saw, nobody went with good old Daelin so...
"has Divine Shield for the rest of the game" is a bit strange, because it could effectively imply a permanent damage immunity since the effect of it having Divine Shield is a passive permanent effect
If you're just recently getting into things then you're definitely investing in the right sets. Ikoria and Core 21 are so strong on their own it's insane. I hope you're having a fun time and continue to do so!

Ok, fair point.
