  • Frostbite is the new problem child

    I have to admit that the full aggro list ist hard to deal with but that is actually true for almost every deck in the game right now. Even control decks often get into the situation that they eighter have avalance in their starting hand or get overun.

    While i see that this is what oppressive control deck like heimer+ ezreal decks cause, I also think that noxus/p&z's early game cards might need some adjustments since hardly a deck can acutally deal with the tempo that a 1-3 cost card deck (with not a single bad card) has.

    cards that have in mind for that are:

    legion saboteur     (from 2/1 to 1/2)

    Boomcrew rookie  (from 1/4 to 1/3)

    Brother's Bond      (from permanent to until end of turn)

    Cosmetics and statistics would be something easy and popular to do. Not to mention they would make a lot of money with cosmetics. But personally, I think the "10 years" part is a huge exageration and they'll just give us enough to keep the game alive. Everything else will be a pleasent surprise.

  • Planning on Hoarding Wildcards and Shards Before the Next Set Drops? Legends of Runeterra Won't Stop You

    Nothing has been officially announced to the public, but some people have theories.

    FYI, you might be better off trying to get every region to 8 (the first free champion) rather than trying to go all the way to 20.  The reward-to-XP ratio is much better that way.

    Quote From Nirast

    In life, he was raised by Crystalsmith Kangor, who taught him the concepts of infinity and endlessness.

    First idea, what do you think? If anyone is still in need of assistance, let me know.

    This card frightens me. Now I haven’t played HS much lately so maybe I’m out of practice with balance, but this card looks insane. 6 Mana 4/7 Taunt Reborn is good. But it also generates 2 tokens, each of which can be bounced to generate more of the original card. It’s an expensive card but it can grind a game to a halt with just a few triggers or bounces

    You make a very good point. Rogue could really abuse the tokens generated off of this, not to mention all the rogue deathrattle trigger effects. This card alone would create a new archetype... "Wall Rogue"

    I would totally give this card 5 stars as is!

  • Please help me optimize my kronx rogue

    I've played both OTK versions and value versions of the Kronx deck. From what I see, you're playing the value version (no Spirit of the Shark, or massive draw engine). Your win condition is therefore to duplicate Kronx and draw them with the treasure/Galakrond, or draw them one at a time, with the view to out value the opponent, not to OTK them.

    I can say, this deck will struggle hard with embiggen druid, and just about any hunter deck. When you draw well, this has a passing but not absolute chance of beating the enemy. Unfortunately, your deck list doesn't draw well, and so its down to pure draw RNG.

    Just my opinion on changes;

    - Remove 2x Lab Recruiter - Double tog scheme, you don't need this
    - Remove 2x Devoted Maniac - Too much tempo loss. Its my opinion, but rogue doesn't have the comeback tech to ever play this successfully
    - Remove Doomsayer - without freezing the board, and the amount of rush minions in this meta, at best this can buy you turn 2 of the game, no more.

    Replace with

    - 2x EVIL Miscreant - you need the lackeys, for Shadow Sculptor, tempo, and tog.
    - 1x [Hearthstone Card (umbral stalker) Not Found] - For sculptor, Edwin, and if you can play this for 0 mana, that's three extra mana to play with
    - 1x Shadow Sculptor - For draw. Trust me, you get stuck more than 50% of the time with an unwinnable hand. At the moment, this is the most efficient draw engine rogue has
    - 1x SN1P-SN4P - This + Zilliax = face hunter concede, well at least that's just about the only thing rogue can do against face hunter.

    Again, I'd stressed that this deck doesn't do well in the meta (too many hunters, and rogue traditionally never do well against them). So, don't start selling your collection for this deck to work.

  • Sleeper Card Spotlight: Emerald Awakener

    Ironically: here's a new "spooky Karma" deck from Swimstream that runs 3x awakeners that he thinks will Tier 1 now.

  • The Hearthstone 2020 Community Summit Leaves Frodan in Shock - Big Changes Coming for Hearthstone in 2020

    Let's say I believe Frodan, and am thinking in terms of setting the game up for the next 10 years. What would need to be changed to make the game last 10 years?.... 

    • Complete revamp of the gold/dust system
    • As griffior said: Tables
    • Another 2 pages for decks (I'm thinking for 10 years as Frodan said, but I would be happy with even just 1 more page for decks)
      • OR a complete reworking of the UI/menus 

    Probably not getting any of the above. 

    I just deleted a massive paragraph that became extremely salty. Maybe I need to visit the salt thread and vent some frustrations about the current state of the game.

    "for the next decade" he said. What could keep Hearthstone floating for the next 10 years I wonder?

    A lot of new cosmetics for real money! :D ;)

    *sarcasm off*

  • Planning on Hoarding Wildcards and Shards Before the Next Set Drops? Legends of Runeterra Won't Stop You

    Glad to hear it.

    Swimstream kept saying in his channel that he was "100% sure they couldn't POSSIBLY let you carry wildcards over", and that just made zero sense to me.  Maybe because he thought Riot had some type of design philosophy against letting players' deck collections grow too suddenly?  Except realistically, they're already letting you buy 3 champion wildcards a week plus 3 expedition tokens plus giving free champions out fairly generously with the region rewards and (if you're lucky) vaults so I couldn't figure how preventing players from using existing wildcards would make an inch of difference in the grand scheme of things.  

  • Did the update srew my expedition?

    You seem to have the worst luck, Toad.  :-(  Sorry about your expedition; hopefully Support can help you.  

  • Sleeper Card Spotlight: Emerald Awakener

    In the closed beta, Cloud Drinker had an enlightened ability to decrease by 2 instead of 1, and it was insane when combo'd with Karma. Granted you still had to make it to 10 mana, but once you did it was basically GG.

    Maybe the trick here is to do something similar: i.e., find a unassuming follower and give it something like Enlightened: whenever you summon a follower, add a copy to your hand.  Or cast again this turn / "echo" if that's too much.  Basically: HS's Glinda Crowskin, but it doesn't work with champions. A late game 6/6 LS for 3 mana is unimpressive; but three 6/6 LS for 9 mana is another story--you heal to full if they all connect.  Same story with Feral Mystic and five 6/6 overwhelms for 10 mana.

    "for the next decade" he said. What could keep Hearthstone floating for the next 10 years I wonder?

    - New class? or New Mode? Clans, Tournament, and Custom Modes still viable.

    - Second guess is very unlikely. 4 new Expansions every year instead of 3. But that won't last long.

    The Hype Train is going smooth, as long as it doesn't ended up like W3:Refund ^^

     

  • Frostbite is the new problem child

    I see; sorry for assuming.

    I've been playing Frejlord/Noxus Battle Scars and even with my oddball decklist I am DESTROYING the solo Ezreal decks.  Words cannot describe how deeply gratifying it is to attack into them with a wide board that includes Legion Veteran and Vladimir: they immediately frost bite the biggest guys and setup value blocks, then they must use the blue eye to see they still die so they setup desperation blocks, then they exhaust their mana trying every trick they can and slowly realize there just is no getting around the damage from Crimson Pact or the way it is giving everyone additional attack... 

    Admittedly, I'm seeing that version a lot more than the Heimer variant lately and the few times I have seen Heimer I've struggled.  I've also been seeing an interesting Noxus/P&Z champion-less decklist that is 100% aggro; I struggle to keep up with that and imagine its even worse for the decks you mention as they tend to skimp on early game board presence.

  • The Hearthstone 2020 Community Summit Leaves Frodan in Shock - Big Changes Coming for Hearthstone in 2020

    I pessimistically feel like we are getting hype over some changes that won't end up being as big as advertised.  However, there is always a chance.

  • Frostbite is the new problem child

    You are getting me wrong tho I AM playing Heimer Ezreal control myself and i would not play Darius Lucian in this meta at all.

    I beat spider/elusive lists with ease and the only deck that i lose to is the exact same /more burnish list.

    That way it seems to be tier 0 right now and beats even yasuo with ease since once yasuo is flipped... well he cant Attack  while frostbitten right?

    So i see the problem from the playing side not angry aggro player perspective and dont want to see just 1 matchup in ladder

    Quote From Actin

    Enlightened is overall a very weak keyword. There's very little value right now for building a deck around it. Even with Karma, it's still very gimmicky and tends to brick a lot against unit swarming.

    Maybe if it granted +6/+6. Enlightened should be a type that gives you a crazy powerful ability late game, but forces you to choose between sacrificing units and spells before you get to that point.

    I think this is exactly right. Apart from Karma and Anivia, there are very few cards that care about being enlightened, and they're all pretty bad:

    The upshots of these cards is that they're good, cheap plays in the late game, and you'll be able to combo with them because you'll have mana open after playing them. But there are more consistently powerful plays you can make before turn 10 (e.g. Commander Ledros), and it's just not worth building your whole deck around late game combos right now, particularly when it means trading off this much early game value.

    Quote From Gilbie

    Tltr: There is no Paywall. The  newest expansion (including lunar event) takes maybe 2 weeks to unlock without paying money. I am done with people who are playing F2P games and complain about additional cost for extra content

    There is no paywall, just log in every day do the random quests blizzard gives you and eventually you'll be able to get the cards that were specifically left out of the expansion to put behind the "grind wall" that's totally not a paywall. Good luck playing quest druid without the 2 drop that gives you a coin good luck playing druid in general without the best witching hour target in this set. Yeah it's not a pay wall, you can grind for several weeks to unlock it. But most people get tired of playing this shit every day constantly for nothing but an adventure they'll only play one time. That's why they just pay Activision. If you dont think the best cards locked behind a "grind wall" aka paywall is by coincidence you're blind.
