I've used her reasonably well with Heimerdinger and (separately) Ezreal. Any deck with mostly spells can use her as a decent finisher.

I've seen at least two streamers make her work well -- Mogwai and ... sorry, I don't remember the other one.

Yeah I didn't want to add QA to her either. Since she was originally supposed to try to avoid damage by her bonded absorbing it for her, her kit's weak as is.

Personally I like the strike - Last breath type feel to her. She can now work with lucien, thresh, or even hecarim himself if you use Mark of the Isles on her or Stirred Spirits (never see it used actually).

The 2/4 is also a unique statline on her versus going 3/2. The only reason I add anything to her kit after the level up is her bonded can change. Versus having it bring it back to life. She can leave that type of thing to Thresh (maybe update him so he does it fully instead of just 1 champion pull/game.)

I should update that though so.

Kalista 3M

2/4 Fearsome

Attack or summoned: Bond to one ally. Grant them +1/+0 for every ally that dies.

Strike - If I die, revive me.

Level up - I've seen three allies die.

Level up stats:

Kalista 3M

2/4 Fearsome, Overwhelm

Attack or summoned: Bond to one ally. Grant us +1/+0 for every ally that dies.

Strike - If I die, revive me.

Changing of the wording for it. Having the game pause as you make a bonded if one, or both die could be stagnating. Now if she's summoned you make a bond initially. This stops recalls and detains from permanently removing her bond stats. If she revives the bond isn't broken nor can she make multiple bonded. If the bonded dies it's temporarily broken. To remake a bond she must attack (meaning you choose another to bond with her), thereby keeping her flavor alive.

She herself is weak at the start with few stats and summoned on turns where fearsome lose some of their ability to avoid damage. The level up is to give her an identity and make her actually strong later in the game. Switching it from "them" to "us" means she also gets the benefits but no inherent stat increases herself. You can either "store" some damage up on her later to use the overwhelm or use it each turn if you want to (ala undying). Yes if she dies she is reborn without the +1's she gained before. So no stacking an inhumane overwhelm that way. She can gain them after though.

Again she now has uses in every region but excels in a few. Overwhelm with Freyjord/Noxus. Rally with lucien. Hell create some insane Zeds.

The only problem is if you summon a Questing Explorer & Licensed Adventure it would be perty lackluster :/

Even if they don't cancel it, fireside gatherings will be cancelled nevertheless for 3 reasons:

-some countries are closing all public places including bars and similar

-place owners will close their places 

-people simply won't come to public gatherings during the virus outbreak

It feels like new years title will have more symbolism than just association with the expansion theming.   "Hearthstone 2.0" would be nice.  Think in-game stat tracking for constructed play, increased deck count.   Battlegrounds is still in beta, and there's no clear way of monetizing it yet, for such a popular format they will have to come up with some incentives for people there.  I wouldn't be surprised if the new expansion came with some sort of Battlegrounds perk on top of the regular things.

Reno is probably that low because people still don't know how to play him, I remember seeing a player had used his 4 gold hero power on a Battlemaster. I've had decent success with him using the hero power on early scaling minions like Wrath Weaver and Waxrider Togwaggle and even had a good run where I used the hero power on Herald of Flame.

If this was too complex and ya'll want to jettison this and someone else can have a go I wont be offended - or if you want more hints that's fine too just let me know. 

I think this is the official announcement of the announcement.  The one before this was the pre-announcement announcement of the announcement.

Has anyone tried making a deck with Questing Explorer, Licensed Adventurer and Sky Gen'ral Kragg and activating those cards via sidequests instead of main quests?

For Druid, the main quest more or less builds the deck for you, so I thought that would be an interesting class to try this on. This was the result: (click it for the guide with more details)

Did anyone else try using sidequests like this? And if so, what were the results?

I am honestly hyped about what could change in Wild.

I hope we get Kibler also for the last reveal stream.

All aboard the hype train!!

I feel like Ionia is kind of like Blue in magic. It does all the dumb stuff but it has to be in the game to keep everyone honest. I'm looking at you decks that run 3 [Hearthstone Card (The Harrowing) Not Found]. 

So I guess kind of shitty but necessary 

Quote From SchitJustWorks

Alright, so I am DETERMINED to make Corina playable/competitive in some sort of deck prior to another set coming out. 

That's a big challenge, friend.  My inclination would be to try a variation of the Ezreal combo decks with Corina Veraza moreso as a tempo reset (circa Reno the Relicologist if you play HS) than a primary win condition.  I don't think you want to go the control route, as you're not going to get the same exponential payout from Corina as other control decks (e.g., L2 Karma, The Harrowing, Warmothers, Anivia -> Dawn and Dust, etc).  And I don't think you need to go almost-exclusively-spells; most of the time, dealing 2 damage to everything is going to be almost as beneficial as dealing 5.

Good luck!

They'll probably open up the stream WITH the trailer, honestly.

HS is big on their musical numbers 

yeah especially after that announcement a while ago saying that Hearthstone was moving away from Twitch? 

I guess since Kibler's platorm is Twitch they're having to play both fields. 

I too don't like adding quick attack to Kalista; she starts to feel like a variation on Lucian / Zed / Jinx / Draven / Yasuo.

I don't mind Kushinade's idea of making her function more like The Undying.

I could also see something like making her like a 4 mana 5/3, bond gives no immediate benefit, and has "If my bond mate dies, add its stats to me.  Last Whisper: add my stats to my bond mate"--that way she still can still be fragile, but now at least there's some immediate recuperation.  

I've got to assume that it is that important, given they haven't told us anything yet.

They've said they're sharing more than ever before - maybe there's some big change coming that would be spoiled by showing us anything else beforehand?

I like how its on both twitch and youtube. If it was exclusively youtube it may not do so well.

I dont get why they havent just given us the trailer already. Is it really that important to show it on the showcase stream. And to be clear im not mad about it, im just confused.

ps. I hope everyone is doing alright with all this dumb corona around.

HYPE!
