Well it's indeed a more modern launcher, easier to navigate and use instead of the outdated old one. Best thing is I can filter out those game I don't care for.
what do you mean? are you implying that the draws were sabotaged? if thats the case thats a bold statement. One that i cannot stand behind, specially in sports you should always believe in the sincerity of the competition\competitors or else we should just give up. She is actually a very good player from what i gather and ok the draws played a good part, but thats just the game. Luck will always favor those that work hard for it
Welp, there goes balancing. I swear when I first seen these cards I thought they were Fan made. They just don't feel right.
And I thought they stopped making "Hero cards" because of the power creep on the things. Galakrond is all kinds of lazy as well.
Blizzard designer: "Hey guys! Instead of developing a class identity lets just create a legendary that operates the same across 5 classes so we don't need to think about new ways to play and just be lazy"
Blizzard employee: "Yep, sounds great".
If I wasn't losing faith before, I've certainly lost it now.
Come on blizzard. Really? The whole disadvantage of ramp is that it costs you card advantage.
You then proceed print "draw a card" and "gain an empty mana crystal" on the same card!? Bliizard: "Hey guys, this expansion lets throw balancing out the window!"
This card gets A+ for flavor! Firing Leper Gnomes at your opponent? Yes please! How good is it? Probably playable. Need to see more cards to get a feel for how well this new hero power based hunter will fare.
Hard to see this being too good, but at the same time, we can't really judge yet what summoning a random dragon will be like. The pool is larger than ever, even more so in wild. We've already seen some new little ones, plus good old Faerie Dragon but I think overall they'll be some big stats. Anyone want to math it out? Not my strong suit.
I mean ... I dunno guys. Has generating random demons EVER been good? I played plenty of Kazakus when he was standard, and still play him in wild. How often do I pick the "random demons" potion? Just about never. Sure, summoning a Pit Lord or Felguard without the battlecry is good, but ... I guess we'll see.
I don't mind this autochess, but Wild Ranked will stay my main mode.
And honestly i won't play Battlegrounds that often, if it doesn't yield additional rewards.
You mean heroic tavern brawl?
Basically, yes. Or Brawliseum. The one with 150g entrance and normal Arena rewards.
As a permanent mode, one free entrance per week.
At the end of the day, that would be the easiest way to implement something similar to a FFA tournament, valueing Constructed, but without the grind of ladder.
Based on its wording it heavilly implies that it summons a fresh copy. Also every minion that goes dormant said so in the past. Waxadred does not, further supporting this theory.
It definitely seems like a very strong card that will 100% see play, one way or another imho. And since N'zoth is still going to be in Standard when this releases, i'd imagine we will see some new deathrattle rogue variations. How competitive those will be, i guess we'll see :)
I'm excited for this guy. Based on some of the discussion here and looking at other cards, I think you can get multiple Waxadreds every time you draw his candle, regardless of whether he died or not. I do not expect him to "go dormant" like others. Win condition? Maybe not. But reasonably powerful and fun.
I wouldn‘t blame blizz for coppying the autochess genre. HS itself is just a „coppy“ of MtG. New game ideas become popular and the big companys obviously try their Version of it. In blizzards case, the game is easy to understand and watch, probably not highly competitive (although i could see a high skill cap here aswell!) and prioritizes entertainment. If you want more balanced, skill dependent auto battlers, you got plenty of options already...
I'll have to disagree with you there. A chunk of Hearthstone's success is owed to the fact that Blizzard basically pioneered online card games on a larger scale than anything ever seen before and made use of the digital platform to implement mechanics that MtG would never be able to compete with (such as most RNG we get). What did we have before? Castlewars, War of Omens, Monster Master? I like all of those games, but none of them really have the dimension HS has.
As for the OP, meh... I rather like LoL's TFT, and the only reason I don't play it is because you need to install LoL to play it as well. In this case... It looks too dumbed down for my taste. It doesn't feel like autochess as much as it feels like a niche, lackluster HS gamemode. Blizzard's games are far more successful when they pioneer a genre instead of copying a successful one. This probably would have benefited from having a team and becoming it's own, more complex game instead of a HS mode.

Unlikely because the only way Draconic Lackey could be generated by a Paladin is with EVIL Cable Rat.
