Just got Rotnest Drake from Primordial Explorer. Opponent was like WTF, as was I. It seems the unreleased cards are in the pool already. Is this a bug, or intended?
They will also have optimal personalized interactions, as Activision Blizzard can tap into Google Cloud's AI tools to offer curated recommendations for in-game offers and differentiated gaming experiences.
Twitch is owned by Amazon, so regarding your first point there is not much of a difference. But they do have more of an e-sports culture.
As for the handling of Blitzchung's protest, that was done entirely by Activision Blizzard; Twitch had no role in that. It seems that Bobby Kotick was the one pulling the strings there and the only game he seems to be passionate about is making as much money as possible. Which is probably also the motivation behind this move.
A small update has been pushed to the site that focuses on search improvements. Thanks to Trimutius for asking for this over on Discord! (You should totally join us on Discord if you have not yet =) )
New Features
Smarter Search
The default functionality of site search has changed so that it will lookup cards for the part of the site you are currently on.
If you are on a Runeterra page, or were on a page that doesn't have a "game" associated with it and were previously on a Runeterra page, you will see results for Runeterra cards.
Hearthstone pages get results for Hearthstone Cards
Magic pages will get results for Magic Cards (when available).
The default if you have no game selected is to search by the forums.
This also implements Runeterra Cards and Runeterra Decks into site search. It was absent due to an oversight.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where search was displaying forum threads oldest -> newest. It is now correctly newest -> oldest.
Dev Note: We'll eventually need to find a good way to make search show better threads at the top.
How'd you enjoy 90% of your matches being mirrors, cause this deck is literally the only thing I've seen the past few days.
Back to wild we go!
I've been running it, out of like 20 games I've only had like 2-3 mirror matches, I expect this to change over the next few days though. Deck is fun as hell.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Cruel Taskmaster?
anyone hyped for the wc3 remaster?
Since the release is scheduled for tomorrow, I'm reactivating this thread now.
Recently they admitted, that not all announced features will make it in the release.
Is anyone still buying the remake?
I'm general against that remake-culture, that has been established in the video games industry lately,and I don't like, that they stripped features.
But I love wc3. I might buy the remake. Maybe wait for some reviews though.

Standard Meta Report #20 - Top Hearthstone Decks January 19, 2020 - January 26, 2020
Nice report!
But I must reiterate how good some proper charts would look, to show all those interesting stats. At least for the most prominent decks of the week.
Winged Guardian is surely an OP card, but i didn't expect it to carry an Embiggen midrange deck so high and fast in winrates.
I am also surprised that Wall and Embiggen are not in the same archetype. Maybe, not yet?
Either way, there are multiple ways to deal with winged guardian, including ones out of radar. *cough* Plague of Murlocs *cough*

This sounds very worrying to me. Activision is still the owner of a patent on manipulating matchmaking to reward players who make in-game purchases.

No drop me no watch.
(I like opening packs more than playing the actual game I've realized).

This sounds like an out of season april fools joke - but it isn't!
Like the way they give devs the freedom to come up with whatever they like for a few weeks year.

There is an easy 'long and hard' joke in there, but I don't want this to Devolve into a Reddit thread.
