Graplr just went 6-1 with starspring now you say that's a small sample size, statistical anomaly yatta yatta, I don't care he was kicking butt with a freaking healing deck
I agree completely. Great players, like Grapplr, can take mediocre decks and play them to insanely high winrates. I mean, I used to watch Firebat or Brian Kibler play HS decks on their streams - they could play just about anything and get a positive winrate out of it. That says nothing about the decks at all. If one of their viewers picked up one of those decks and started playing it, they would have a losing record for sure, because the decks were hot garbage. But the players are so good that they can play anything and win with it.
The point of a meta report is to publish the decks that are winning across a broad sample size of players, thus removing the pilot from the equation.
Side note, since you brought up Poros - the first time I ever made masters was playing a poros deck, waaaay before any major players thought it was viable.
very good strategies this post is very helpful for me. I will be joyful if you read it and accept it. Thank you for your concern. I am currently working on a product manager at an online phone cases company in the USA.
Im not a fan of this type of location that you are basically forced to use Armor on, or concede it to your opponent or just take a huge gamble that will most likely not pay off.
I like that this one only offers BG rewards, so I can ignore it (I don't play BG at all).
Here's my question, though: I feel like during past events like this one, you get either gems or XP after a game. Is that correct? Has anyone paid more attention to this than I have? If this is the case, then it sucks that I'm being given gems I can't use instead of XP I can use.
This is probably going to be a bit controversial but I'm just generally curious.
Seeing as the Lunar new year is mainly marketed towards eastern countries, would blizzard remove the event in the future seeing as Blizzard games are getting removed from China soon?
Yeah, that wouldn't be the first time they've done something like this. I remember there was a time they straight up leaked a bunch of old cards that had never existed in the public eye, only to be removed a patch later. I should dig those up again because it would make for an interesting article.
Hm, I guess Pezman was either saving up snowballs for the next Snowpocalypse or this edition "closed" a little bit earlier than expected. I noticed my snowflakes tally went up a couple of times (which probably meant I got hit by snowballs) even after I already collected the maximum daily amount a few hours before the event would finish.
I don't play BG's either unless i have to like in last event. Which is very disturbing. Being forced to play something you don't like to earn the pack. Besides that BG's get enough attention already,
Well, apparently this is it - the leaderboard is now fixed for good - we can still throw balls around, but they don't count anymore toward our tallys thrown/thrown at. That was an enjoyable friendly fight! Well done @NebuchadnezzarHS ; you won Snowpocalypse 3 !! Thank you everyone for the decent amount I was targeted with, as well as an Honorable mention for Caro & Madcat for their pretty loud snowballs thrown numbers ^^
I can only speculate that they are making a similar card that reduces the cost of Arcane Cards by 1 mana, and simply copied the code of this card, but because of all the spaghetti code, it reflected on this card as well lol
Inlet Scavenger is far too close to Tuskarrrr Trawler. I like Nutty Buddy better, it feels like something they'd actually have printed back then.
machadogps
Abyssal Tainted Arcanist feels like it is trying to do two different things at once. The Dredge just feels like a free bonus on an already inexpensive card.
linkblade
I see you've already submitted, but I would've liked to see Su-Gar, Confection Lord have overall less attack, similar to Xhilag of the Abyss. Still an amazing use of this prompt.
BasilAnguis
I'm sorry to say that I'm not a fan of this card. I'm always a huge fan of Choose Twice effects, but I have multiple gripes with it: As others have mentioned, the "Spellburst: Adapt" is probably a bit too much and it's very inconsistent for not using "Gain". I also believe that the different Spell Damage types defeat the purpose of the Choose keyword. There should always be a situation in which you'd consider taking the other choice, but since I don't think there will be a deck any time soon that focuses both on damaging Nature spells and damaging Arcane spells, this could be two cards, one for each school, and it wouldn't make a difference gameplay-wise.
Wailor
I prefer 3/4 or 3/5 over 4/4.
Neoguli
Chronax the Visionary probably needs some sort of downside to be balanced. The only way I see that happening is by turning it into a Shaman card that also Overloads you for your first turn, since that is the only other keyword that works in combination with "Start of Game:".
I couldn't get Flux to delete my account so I did the next best thing and nuked all my comments & posts from orbit. Since nobody here liked any of them anyhow.
Oh yes, lock one skin behind a paywall that doesn't even give you the skin 100% of the time.
I guess the only good thing about it here for me is that Im not exactly that keen on it. But scummy nevertheless. You'd think that the state of standard currently that it won't be a good idea to lock a skin in it but what do I know?
Agreed, the new DK skin looks kind of meh to me. Also feels weird that the ghoul at the bottom right is drawn bigger than Scarlet herself. She should be the main focus of the hero portrait, right?
I am baitd, but i do have tons of gold and already spent some gold on buying cosmetics anyway, so it isn't different from that for me, but damn can't skip it this time around because i also really want that portrait
If this skin was guaranteed (play in hc brawl, get the skin)
i wouldnt mind it to much, but its far from guaranteed (even the best players can still lose due some bad rng/draws or poor machups) and then you just wasted 10 bucks/1000 gold for NOTHING.
I dont mind paying for cosmetics, aslong im actully guaranteed to get them, but this is not guaranteed and its aslo time limoted.

This time around the brawl does have deck limits.

How about seperating it from Hearthstone..

I don't play battlegrounds, and not interested to pick it up.
But man, I'll have to download that 4gb update anyway right blizz? Just give them that separate client server already.
This event is a bit weird because its completely BG related instead of being a mishmash of both. I guess that frees me up to completely ignore it.
