Now all we need to do is to figure out how to play more complex piano pieces. Can't wait until someone performs Megalovania.

I went to college for game design. Ended up working as a technical artist in the industry for 7 years. Got out of the industry because I have a family and I wasn't willing to pull the insane hours. Work in IT now and I am much happier. I really miss the industry though at times. Working on games was so much fun. I did a lot of scripting, modeling, texturing, level design, layout etc. 

Well, just to let you know, there are places that don't have the insane hours. Been with the same company for about 8 years now and never worked a day of overtime.

Yeah I might get back into the game... (haha) but my wife and I moved to an area where there isn't much game industry to be closer to my family when we had kids. Now are kids are pretty set in their schools so we won't be going anywhere anytime soon. If there happens to be a game company that pops up near where we live then I wouldn't mind working in the industry again though. I would have to practice up on my modeling and texturing I am pretty rusty after having not done it in about 5 years.

I like what you've got so far! The Meditate keyword is a great idea, although I hope the rest of them are big enough effects to justify waiting 2 turns for the effect to happen (Cursed Pandaren is on the right track IMO). Are all of the Locations 1 Mana or is it just the Warlock one? Also, you could check here for some other Wrathion artwork if you haven't already.

I am having a lot of fun playing this deck. The craziest thing to happen with this deck was when I pulled two Armagedillos out of the Frightened Flunky and played three of the Armagedillos each one buffing each other and the other taunt minions on my hand. It didn't matter if each one only lasted a turn. 

Priest has one of the strongest decks right now with the combo priest. Amet, Psychopomp and Injured Tol'Vir are all crazy strong cards. It just seems to be another expansion of Divine Spirit Inner Fire being the only viable win condition.

With each day, I can already see some potential for cool decks. Zhang is one of cards that might be very slow, but it has some nice upside that scales the longer this game goes. We could fix his problems with him being too slow by just including Master Oakheart. Also great with N'Zoth and Da Undatakah (in Wild).

My apologies if you're amused that my favorite cards in Hearthstone are N'Zoth and Da Undatakah haha

man, that hero power is ridiculous! hunters are able to deal 2 damage for 2. but that is only to face, yours is only to minions, but dealing damage to face is not equal to dealing damage to minions. that is why cards like Mind Blast and Sinister Strike deal so much damage for their mana cost.

I know hero powers are very hard to design (when I made my custom class that was the hardest part). What might be more balanced and thematic is if maybe you had some kind of temporary minion buff, maybe something like "give a friendly minion +1 health" or "give a friendly minion +1 attack this turn only".

Fluxflashor, how about a page with all interactions on all board. Many may not know the living chest on Kobolds board, for example.

So great idea!

lol. If it were a significant card in the game, I'd have put it in with much elaboration. I do think that we could do with the return of legendary weapons at some point, since there's still a decent amount-- like the Staff of Sargeras, the Scythe of Elune, or Xal'atath-- that be excellent to include from a lore standpoint. 

Will try it out :)

Great idea! Would love to see something like that. I'm sure there are a lot of interactions I've missed.

This is awesome. Helps for those of us that only know the lore through Hearthstone and not through WoW and other derivative sources.

No request for anything in particular other than maybe continue with the elementals theme with other elemental lords like Ragnaros, Neptulon etc. 

Agreed! I only know the characters from HS and these Lore pieces are great for background info that makes HS a little more fun each time. 

They did already, unfortunately I miss it, too.

More cards! I considered joining the Goons, but in the end I figured it would be weird if the Pandaren class wasn't involved with the one time Pandarens have been a focus in a Hearthstone expansion. Jade Monk is meant to be a powerful Tactic that can easily net players a bunch of Golems if they play it right. I also thought it'd be cool if there were cards that gave you limited use of the other gang's abilities, since a Tactician would want to use his enemies strengths against them. Now it's on to Un'Goro! The Tactician's quest is gonna be epic...

More in the main post!

Great job on the Lore articles Goliath! They are a pleasure to read and bring an extra layer to HS for those who haven't kept up with WoW and other Warcraft media.

Feel like there was a missed opportunity to spam [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker] though ;)

Figured there had to be something there but I'm not musically inclined enough to ever find it. 

Top 3 boards for me are:

GvG with the fireworks / rocket ship / laser / tank.

TGT with the archery board and the practice dummy that you can hit when you miss the target. 

Pandaria (OG vanilla) with 3 boots in the garden! 

I use random by default, but I often like to pick a card pack that has a flavor to fit in with the deck I'm making if I can think of anything fitting. 

Thanks for putting this up. It's nice to have it in an easy to find spot like this. I was getting tired of having to google and look on forums to find the exact number combo each time I wanted to do it. Do you think you could make a post sometime about the exact sequence for the Un'Goro? I've never been able to memorize and activate it from the youtube videos.

There must be something else hidden, the League of Explorer theme song was kind of (too) obvious

There's one on the Rastakan Rumble board as well. I see Thijs play it all the time while waiting his turn. 

I looked it up

And here we are again, some time ago was Rogue, until they nerf the class to the ground, AGAIN!
In two months will be Druid or some other stuff.

STOP ASKING NERFS, it's only ruining our hard won collections, losing dust every 2 or 3 months.
Ask for BUFFS!!!

because buffs will totally fix Warrior and Mage

 

I guess if we bring back Deathstalker Rexxar for every class it would fix the Warrior probelm...and then we buff Big game Hunter to 2-mana , because that has never been a problem.

This is how dynamic game design works you dunce. Nerfs are necessary because you can't predict the meta game from the moment you design a card, so adjustments have to be made as time goes on

yes, the problem with warrior is having the best hero card when not all other classes have heroes. Go to wild, and see where it stands against other heroes. They should have continued to print hero cards.
And about mage, remember vanish, what would mages do against it?
And if adjustments are needed, why do you continue to ask to tone down cards, tone them up, or reverse other stupid nerfs and HoF's!

Maybe here is another egg with rubies? here a lot of rubies. And gates could be possible have interaction, but looks like not=(

I also use cardbacks based on my deck's theme (Blizzard pls gib Pirate cardback, I don't like using Kul'tiras in Rogue)

I think this is the correct analysis. Quest is too big of a tempo loss for a deck that needs to maintain board control.
