i guess Legends of Runeterra really spook then huh? first game to do so. I mainly play Runeterra now, but ive been keeping HS quests clear and keeping up with the news and meta of the game just cause i was predicting the team to come up with something fresh for HS as the quality of Runeterra really seemed to put a dent on HS.

Im glad, hoping to see improvements so i can comeback to the game we all love

i totally agree, everything about runeterra is done really, really well. The reward system and economy is fantastic.... but for some reason i don't find myself enjoying the game past getting my daily's done. I haven't figure out why the game play isn't hooking me yet. Maybe it's the pacing of the matches? Not sure :/

This is a spin on the classic "2 mana deal 3 damage". Being limited to this turn only makes it a bit less powerful but the Twinspell gives it more value. Maybe this will make Even mage good? (Lol no)

I like the flavor and the idea. My only concern, is the fact that at 2 mana, you are able to play all 4 of these, with the HP on turn 10. That's a 13 damage HP for 10 mana. I personally would feel a bit more comfortable with this at 3 mana to help prevent any OTK shenanigans. But, that's just my personal opinion, and it's probably perfectly fine at 2 mana. 

For a dissenting opinion here - I don't think that's all that bad given the draw/holding requirements to pull it off. Put another way: you can do 15 face dmg for 10 mana with double Fireball + a Frostbolt - that requires you to draw/hold 3 separate cards vs only 2 here, but is also 3 more dmg so I think the tradeoff is fair.

Two fireballs are enough. That's 12 damage for 8 mana, for 2 cards, plus a hero power for the remaining 2 mana is exactly the same thing as 4 casts of Fire Within. 

This is true. So basically, this is just another fireball and more burn damage for mage when they already have so much burn damage.

This is not broken because it is too much damage for it's cost, but I wouldn't like to see this card printed because there is already so many ways for mage to deal burn damage and this would just make aggro mages way more consistnet.

I'm not a very big fan of Kripp, but anything that makes him happy with Hearthstone must be good.

edit: Hopefully the mage hero will get released with this information or some news about it.

You know how every once in a while you get a lucky game where you know you are supposed to win.

BY FIRE BE PURGED!!!!

I stopped getting hyped for no reason a very long ago, since it usually leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you don't get what you're waiting for.

Do the upcoming changes encourage the content creators? Cool, but as long as I don't know what's coming I'll keep my opinion on the game as it is now (which is not negative, but not as enthusiastic as Frodan).

I'm not saying the Devs won't do anything (God I hope they'll improve some aspects the community has been asking for a while), but rather that we should wait until an actual announcement comes out and see what's new before popping our bottles.

With all the hype I expect something big now.

Total rework of basic/classic set+classes and FINALLY a teammodus (2v2,3v3...)

Otherwise I would be disappointed. 

They will have to make huge changes to keep up with Legends of Runeterra. It's so refreshing playing a card game monitized on buying cosmetics instead of random card packs. You can spend some money on cards, but you get wild cards that let you craft whatever you want instead of getting a bunch of random packs. Even if you don't spend money, you unlock cards at a good pace by playing and get a ton more cards for free every week.

It's also so nice to play a card game that's doesn't rely on RNG so much. 

better dusting system???

Well . . .

You have definitely piqued my curiosity.

All I know is, people still surrender as soon as I play him.

Also, if you can make it to turn 8 as SI, you can make it to turn 9. The nerf was not a nerf, but +1 power is a real boost.

He's still the worst-designed card in the game -- possibly even more oppressive now than he was before.

Hopefully it's better than Galakrond's Awakening

this will cement Hearthstone for the next decade.

Hearthstone 2.0?

You should definitely report this using the Support button in-game.

That's what beta is all about.

That YouTube video is 2 weeks old; in it he says he's going to tinker around with it more but I haven't seen this archetype in any of his vids since.  Do you know if he's done any improvements?  

In a subsequent video (but before the balance patch), he mentioned that it crashed hard when he started running into a lot of elusives.

I think it's doing much better after the patch, because I have definitely been seeing more of it.

8+ games of people drawing the absolute nuts against me whilst my deck draws in the complete reverse of my desired order. 

Yea thanks RnG I think I am done for today. 

M0gwai was my inspiration, actually!  I started there and adapted to my existing collection as best I could, using sparingly using wildcards where absolutely necessary. His is a lot more 3x and a lot cheaper cards in general, and he loves the potential draw from Trifarian Assessor.  My deck has a wider mana curve with more late-game threats: I REALLY liked the added punch that Legion Veteran, Battering Ram, and Kato The Arm provide, and Scarmaiden never feels bad to get on the board.

Great article!  I enjoyed this quite a bit as a singleton player :)
