I was looking up neutral cards from the basic and the classic sets for the card treasure hunt yesterday and boy are they bad. Maybe it's really time for a major overhaul and replacing most of them. It doens't even have to be new stuff. I'd be perfectly fine with cards from expansions, as long as they're balanced.
Hearthstone is so painful sometimes when you know your opponent is making missplays, but the RNG goes in his favor. People never learn from their mistakes this way -_-
There is ONE card that benefits from a highlander build and it's Purrsuit of Perfection.
(you can run 3 copies of that..) but why would you ruin your deck for it.. you could also play heimer/karma and be able to fulfill the requirement eventually.
Add in a few cards like Back Alley Barkeep + recall effect and you're not even delayed all that much really - the problem is just the utter lack of consistency :P

Highlander on HS are a thing because they let you use some very powerfull cards, but without any upside why would you cripple the consistency of your deck?
Irrespective of what is says in the shop, to advertise something publicly and then change it's nature after people already bought it might be illegal in the UK, and I assume so in many other countries. Perhaps they can get out of it with the terms and conditions on the website (which I am not going to check).
I didn't buy this bundle, but if you did I'd recommend politely contacting support and asking for them to resolve it. Ideally they'd offer purchasers some extra packs or a refund. (even though this will be a pain for support which I assume means they wouldn't bother trying to remove opened cards from collections). Again, I don't profit from this but it doesn't seem fair - and surely they don't want to deter people from buying future bundles.
Ninja changes like this are simply not acceptable when people are spending real money.
As for the patch bugs, I don't know if it's the resources/time they give to developers or the play/patch testers, but quality control seems systemically poor now. Please make changes whoever is supposed to fix that.
I hope Frodan is correct in that the next decade is secure for the game. But things like this makes me worry.
Hearthstone is a great game - let's not f*ck it up Team 5/Blizzard.
Aside from there not really being much point, as you noted in your post, there's also the issue that the LoR card pool is really quite small as it is. If you try to go full Highlander with it, you're going to be forcing yourself to take some pretty badly suboptimal cards for no real reason. You'll also have a pretty unfocussed deck that doesn't really have any kind of clear game plan.
I don't think it's viable to do so at this stage, but possibly in the future. Then again, there's enough cards, so if you really want to then go for it.
Had some problems on my IPad - downloaded the Update - it still said need to update - deinstalled and reinstalled Hearthstone and everything is peachy now :)
Update is live and no connection issues or anything - there was some lagging in my first match but after that all works normal again :)
I'm going to hazard the fairly confident guess that any expansion launch would also include additional progression methods alongside the regional unlock system (or just add to it). There's no way they won't be expecting most people to have finished most of their regional unlocks by the time they get around to launching an expansion.
Im aware that there are no soecigic Benefit other than fun or tgat the Opponent cant really predict the outcome but i think one vould do something like that
Yay! I can pass more time until the new year announcement by playing BG's again! Here's for hoping demons get put in their place.
Also, can't wait to try Reno! That hero power could be extremely useful! Even if it costs 4 gold!
Edit: This reaction was before (Once per game) was added to the article. That's A LOT less insane now. But still very useful for those times you just can't get the triple you're looking for.
For example Triple Bran is often game winning. Or trippling the deathrattles.
Longer answer: Most stuff is fixable by uninstalling and reinstalling, if you're willing to take that amount of time to get in. Blizzard has indicated that they're aware that they basically broke everything with the patch and that they're working on a resolution.
I don't think it'd be beneficial to HS in the slightest, but I can see significant benefit in getting some distance for HSBG - being inextricably tied to HS closes a lot of design doors. It's very difficult for them to release interesting new minions for HSBG when they're inevitably required to 'work' in the context of HS itself (even if they don't actually exist in HS). There are all kinds of mechanics they could use for minions - such as, for example, having an effect which triggers if you lost the previous round - which they can't really use so long as HSBG is required to be a reflection of HS.
I'mma just quote myself here because apparently I was all kinds of wrong. Oops.

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Rising Winds?
Twinspell that give two cards/minions and costs 2 mana
Isn't used much outside of people playing completed Untapped Potential
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Nope. No one has figured out the first line correctly so far...
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Cenarius?
One gives two for two (he gives minions +2/+2)
It is used by none . (idk)
Save those who won (he could come in clutch)
In league with the moon (idk)
Or it could be or Virmen Sensei or Strongshell Scavenger

Less RNG would really make this game so much better imo.

Yeah it would be a complete fun thing :)

True. Seems like a pretty convenient occasion.

No, but the announcement of the new year is due and it's Hearthstone's birthday next week (march 4)... I think they'll tie the two together.
