Much like the teams that work on games, everyone has different roles that make everything work. Its why you can't be angry when the Hearthstone twitter account puts out memes, saying that they are wasting time when they could be improving the game - it doesn't work that way.
We have separate teams working on Runeterra and Hearthstone content (with Magic coming real soon!) which IMO will not degrade the quality of content that goes out. You may see some people put out content for both titles, but everyone so far has a "main" game to cover and if they want, they can contribute to the other pending approval of ideas and content.
If I ever feel things are stretched too thin, we'll find more awesome people!
Mustard is god-tier! Though, it definitely seems to be one of those polarizing condiments so I can't be upset with anyone that doesn't like it :P Personally, I've got 8 different types of mustard on hand right now in all their seedy glory.
Not a huge fan of cheese though. The only thing I really enjoy it on is Pizza, it feels so unnecessary on everything else. I am without a doubt, crazy.
I've seen several people say that there is a limited pool of minions that all players share during a round, but I can't see anywhere where Blizzard expressly stated this. Does anyone know if this is the case or not? Would totally change your recruiting strategy to know this, since getting triples is so valuable.
According the the HS wiki the pool is shared (https://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Battlegrounds#Tavern_Phase), and considering that's the way it works in other games of this type, that's no big surprise. What that means is that there can be value in for example monopolising a tribe that no other player is drafting, early levelling to snatch up high-tier minions before others do or early rerolling to combine popular low-tier minions.
So beautiful. Some great cameo appearance too. I see a Whirthun (Robert Wing, old Hearthstone CM team), Micah Whipple (Bashiok/Drysc, old WoW CM team), and Celestalon (Chadd Nervig, Class/Systems Design from WoW, now on Hearthstone design team).
I can't pick out other people in the video, but someone else probably can!
Battlegrounds feels very limited and poorly balanced right now. I think it has lots of room to expand and become a much more enjoyable play mode, and these changes will be a great start in that direction. I'm really excited to see how it gets better over time!
I've unspammed your posts and deleted the extra ones.
You're not really "in" the spam filter as an account or anything. I don't want to go into exactly how things work but we do take a few things into consideration when determining if a post is spam and sometimes one of them will mistakenly rank too high, causing the post to get sent to the void.
We're a little bit looser on what can be determined as spam right now while we train it, so I do apologize for the inconvenience.
I do hope they switch up the order of bonuses, moving the "pick from 3 heroes" to the first tier. It's a bonus that has actual impact on your performance, so having it come first would be better; it would also serve to introduce new players to more heroes at a time so they can see the hero powers in the context of what other players might have.

Ben Brode Presents Grilled Cheese
I used to like mustard, but now I don't.
I like my grilled cheese sandwiches with meat in them. More substance and stuff.
But you should also try the amazingness that is, a grilled peanut butter sandwich. Jelly is optional, but a welcome addition.

Lol, Bob on the leaderboard. Unfair advantage since he runs the tavern.

Nice detailed guide, well done.

I don't know about everyone else but I personally think mustard is super gross. And also orange cheese isn't natural.
I prefer my grilled cheese with pepperoni and Munster.

ME: How long is the song going to be stuck in my head?
BRAIN: YES.

I expected to chuckle a little bit, but damn that was awesome! Brode with the major flow.
I might even forgive the usage of mustard.
Also, I love the part at 1:16 where the lady is like, "Ok I'll come back to this aisle later."
