On EU, a friend told me he had all empty slots and got two additional new quests (gold+dust) this morning. I got a normal quest at 00:00 today, making it 3 total, passed one so I have one slot free, and haven't got anything new today. Then I rolled one of them into an upgraded one, completed it and no new quests appeared. I don't know if it was bugged for him or me, but it's strange.
well, if they didnt do that and just offered the bundle the same amount of people would probably buy it, so they'd actually earn more money on it, but now they are giving half of the money they earn to contestants
stop looking for any reason to hate blizz and look at the positives sometimes
Yeah these are solid points. One can't make a perfectly balanced game, but also we kinda need those powerful cards and heroes to keep the game exciting. I'm happy with the way the game turned out.
First I downvoted you bc i was thinking you are talking bullshit, but then i read it again. You are right. Drakonid Operative text should also be "discover a copy of a card in your opponent deck". Well played, I never noticed.
To be fair, it's not 100% intuitive; there are some interactions with buffs and bounces that don't make a lot of sense. As an example: if you've played a Poro-Snax with a Lonely Poro in hand, it'll get buffed to 2/2. When played, the newly generated Poro also receives the +1/+1 despite not existing before the buff was played. And yet when Lonely Poro is returned to hand it reverts to a 1/1, losing the buffs that even generated cards receive. It's consistent with previous mechanics, but in no way intuitive.
That's weird I would assume the Poro Snax is an aura effect like Warmother's Call if any poro is on board it gets +X/+X (X being the number of Poro Snax played).
I agree -- they should either reduce the health or remove Overwhelm. Or not snowball.
I strongly disagree that other 6-mana followers are as impactful. Champions, perhaps, but not followers.
Apart from those that revive themselves, I can't think of any follower that's so difficult to remove. It is effectively immune to combat the first round, and it is guaranteed to take several units down while dealing massive nexus damage at the same time -- all with no precondition to be met.
Listing a bunch of hard removals is not particularly helpful -- by definition, those work on literally everything. A 6-mana follower that snowballs very quickly should not require hard removal.
One way to fix it would be to keep its stats at 0/12, but add: "Play: Capture an ally to grant me that ally's power." Because the ally is piloting it, see? (And remove the Attack effect, because logically, why would a real battering ram's attacks get stronger over time?)
Oh I like that solution, definitely. That would require you to have a strong ally beforehand as a condition as well.
I'm confused. Is this a free thing or not? The term "drop" makes me think it's free, but I checked the website link and it wanted around $40 for this stuff. Do these terms mean different things in MtG?
This is a paid thing. It is called "drop" because it is available only for 24 hours and then it will be discontinued
Only 50% of proceeds will go towards the 2020 Masters tour and it caps out. No surprises here, Blizzard's just looking for another burst of cash behind a thin veil of charity.

Frankly, Wild Growth wasn't a problem card at all. The problem was they wanted to print Breath of Dreams, and similar cards, but there was no real point because Wild Growth already existed. The only solutions to that problem are a) don't print Breath of Dreams, meaning come up with another card, b) print something more powerful than pre-nerf Wild Growth, which didn't go down well when they did it with Jade Blossom (because people either played both or picked the preferable option), or c) nerf Wild Growth then print a very similar card in the new design space opened up.
Option c) is the easiest one, provides them with the most long-term benefit, and they can always keep printing similar cards if they want to retain that part of Druid's identity.
I've had a similar issue, noted on another thread. showing three Vladimir purchases for Wild Cards which I don't remember making; Vlad isn't in my collection and the refund button throws an error when clicked. Safe to assume there's some bugs there.

Card to hand and Card to deck mechanics are same with Hearthstone in this game. There will be no buffs if they are shuffled to your deck or recalled back to your hand.
This was the answer I was looking for.
my bad, when I say vanish I mean swapped out for the other jinx card
Can you explain a bit as to why...is this to make an extra 50 gold? Or 60? Some amount which you can earn in one day by winning enough games?
Well, 60 gold means you need to win 18 games. This, having ~50% winrate is 36 games. One game taking ~7.30 minutes (data from Blizzard) means you need to play ~4 hours 30 minutes. Most people who have life does not have that much time to play HS.
So no, winning 18 games in one day is quite a lot.
by vanish what you mean? there is no way to obliterate a champion in the game.
If buffed jinx is destroyed or recalled back to your hand, your other jinx's in your deck will be without buffs, at default stats if you are asking this.

The Dragon restriction is enough to keep Breath of Dreams in check.
They need to add many OP Dragons before you notice a serious problem, and even then, it will be because of the OP Dragons themselves, not just Breath.
Tbh, Wild Growth itself was only problematic because of a stack of OP high cost cards in Druid: they preferred to nerf one solid core card, instead of multiple OP ones...
Unrelated question.. is celeste going to come out tomorrow in another bundle?
Most likely not. Blizzard is not expecting another patch for a month or two (they included Jan and Feb cardback in the recent one) and Celeste is not in the patch
Had an epic encounter with a deathrattle rogue yesterday. I used a fresh drafted deck containing the new card Arcane Amplifier and all the other hero power boosters and Jan'alai and Spirit of the Dragonhawk.
I managed to keep board under control notwithstanding 3 deathrattle dudes he could pull off yielding a lots of buffed stats that came my way. I really thought I was dead for the whole game until my deck was empty and I could ping his face for 2 lethal damage.
Not every tier 1 deck needs immediate nerfs the card is powerful but you need to build your deck to use it.. as time will go and other expansions will bring other tools you might not want to run dragons in druid.

"The Ruination" is a horrible concept for a card. Balance issues.

Can we reroll normal quests into Lunar quests?

Duplicate Champion question
I know only one copy of a specific champion can be on the board at once but what happens if, for example, I buff a jinx and it vanishes?
Will it keep my buffs and reappear in my hand? or get shuffled into my deck (by playing jinx's get excited) with buffs?
Or will it simply revert to it's default state?
Lunar Quests - help me I'm dumb
You'd get one normal and one special quest, but apparently there's a chance to reroll that normal quest into a holiday quest as well

[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Sorry ArngrimUndying, I actually thought of Mischief Maker but had no time to look up the name of the card or create a new riddle so I didn't answer.
