I'm actually quite surprised how people aren't seeing this from Flux's point of view. A small amount of empathy should be warranted here. He's the owner of a news site, even if it's for a game. Misinformation damages the reputation of news sites and it wastes staff time.
Yes, Blizzard's fake post is in poor taste but it can also be seen as slapstick humor. This doesn't mean the whole OoC community should gang up on Flux if you don't agree with his opinion. Also view the bad language as being passionate about the subject 🙃
It is what happens when you bring some political judgement here i guess.
I don't think it would have this kind of reaction if there was not that twitter adversion. This is a Card Game News site and we are not here to read this kind of political approaches. If I wanted to, I can easily follow news about Hearthstone from twitter, reddit etc. and then I can't say anything to those platforms because they are not themed around card games but I'm here because this site was used to have plain and simple news without political adversions or any other off-topic criticisms about the games I am playing.
My reaction is all about this else I can sympathize how flux feels about misinformation. Even though It is not my red-line, it is a valid opinion as a news site owner but if this is not a political site or even though it would be one, A news site owner and/or a journalist has to be objective about political stuff while sharing news. You can't share your political judgement as news, it is an unfavorable move for a journalist.
You might be right for some, might not be for another but if you really think bringing a political opinion about Twitter on how you associate this stuff with Elon Musk's acquisition is a good idea, you are wrong. It is worse than what you think is worse which is the joke that blizzard made in this case. Reading that comment as an opener even spoils the enjoyment completely from beginning. It gives a bitter taste from the get-go.
We saw from Avalon's comment how revealed cards are a red line for your team but it seems it wasn't for blizzard (which obviously was a joke, even for a new comer.) so you can't get angry for a company for not having same red lines as your business model.
I mean, I know everything is connected to each other; games, politics, etc. but it is not a good move when you politically judge something in a website which isn't the topic here. I don't care about Twitter and I don't want to learn your political arguments about twitter and how you relate it with Hearthstone here. If i wanted some political approach, it wouldn't be this site to visit. I guess you understand what i meant here.
And also, it doesn't prove that blizzard also thinks that they were wrong by deleting those tweets tbh. That move proves anything at all. Even if they got bad feedback and deleted tweets, it wouldn't prove anything again.
I got your frustration and even sympathize with you as how this topic is a red-line for you but it doesn't have to be red-line for others as well. Tbh, i liked the joke at first glance and would be happier if they didn't delete them.
After a long time, I came back to MTG Arena (again) and even though I couldn't had time to write and staying around in the site because of my irl stuff, I was following here everyday for news and such.
Yesterday, I downloaded MTG:Arena again and wanted to check Outofcards' MTG:Arena Side and i was surprised when i saw the last thread which is 1 month's ago and comments surprised me more because the nearest is almost 2 years old and it is new expansion time for the game.
So I wondered it is about the site's support or the game itself. Is it the game that has the rough times or did just outofcards stop supporting it ?
Discovery would be like Heimerdinger's mechanic probably and I wish It were not Discover mechanic from Hearthstone. Inventing something would be better i guess.
But Whimsy! ? Hex mechanic is a tech for card games and it's not a general gameplan most of the times. How will they implement it ? It might be with cards like Stonebreaker that has some play effect if you transform X allies or it might be an effect like Misftying MagicianBADCARDNAME that transforms units.
Also, It would be great if all Void champions like Nocturne and others could have double regions as Void/SI and others.
I can confirm this with another in-game action;
When you acquire and play Secret Plan with Priest, you always discover a hunter secret. It should work like this interaction, I assume.

Hello guys !
After a long time, I came back to MTG Arena (again) and even though I couldn't had time to write and staying around in the site because of my irl stuff, I was following here everyday for news and such.
Yesterday, I downloaded MTG:Arena again and wanted to check Outofcards' MTG:Arena Side and i was surprised when i saw the last thread which is 1 month's ago and comments surprised me more because the nearest is almost 2 years old and it is new expansion time for the game.
So I wondered it is about the site's support or the game itself. Is it the game that has the rough times or did just outofcards stop supporting it ?
Can someone light a candle for me ? :)
And probably much more that i can't remember right now.
That was quick :D
Your go !
I could work from home once my time was here
My lab was was static, my power was mere
I stored my elementals in the endless cloud,
Use me for the coin, I won't be proud.
Dreadsteed ?
Wanna change it to Stealer of Souls. :D
I would guess it as Unseal the Vault at the first hour that you asked the riddle and i abandoned just because it says Twelve instead of Twenty.
Now all of your tips points out Unseal the Vault and i have been confused.
If it is the answer i would cry. :D
Shan'do Wildclaw ?
Let's get some Kennen
Lol her cloth is hard nerfed.
Look at the upper side of the chest. She had a strpless cloth not like new one. I find this kind of censorship pathetic...
Power Word: Tentacles
Pharaoh's Blessing ?
Infectious Sporeling
Correct !
I'm a mount which you can't ride
Have four legs but I can hide
Once upon a time, I had a tribe
I'm a bit slow but I have my pride
Whimsy and Discovery ?
Discovery would be like Heimerdinger's mechanic probably and I wish It were not Discover mechanic from Hearthstone. Inventing something would be better i guess.

War Golem
Edit: oh wait no; it is Stormwind Champion. Weaker than golem before his buff (6/6), then with the buff, he beat golem with its stats + text.
Stockades Prisoner
"I am never beaten." might refer being in prison maybe ? :)
