The [card]jungle giants[/card] deck really might be a mid tier contender :D I ran into one on ladder, got destroyed and found a new friend the other day. His version is running Topior and lots of Nature spells, Dew Process being among them so you draw into your free stuff faster after quest completion. Even Shaman and Seedlock were clear …

Overall it certainly looks like Wild finally gets the much needed attention, even if those nerfs are mostly aimed at Standard.

  • Most importantly, the nerf to Yogg takes away the ability to deal with wide boards for free from Miracle Rogue and Questline Druid, which is something they shouldn't have been able to do in the first place.

Thanks for the hint! I'm really looking forward to diving back into the story. I've decided to skip through book 1 and 2 to refresh my memory before I start the third volume and I've spent like 2 hours + with the first one alone! There's just so much going on, so many cool scenes I wanted to revisit :-)

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have a look at it! Mystery / detective usually isn't down my alley but you got me at potential destruction of the galaxy :D

Kaladin is a cool hero and I'm looking forward to seeing his character develop now he's embraced being a knight and no longer sulking and suffering. That got a bit …

I'm sorry, I must have mixed something up here. Maybe I've finished it in 3 hours and it cost 30 € on release? It definitely felt too short.

About that 30 hours remark... I'm spoilt by the witcher 3 :D

Looking forward to those articles you've mentioned! 

Just finished "All the birds in the sky" by Charlie Jane Anders (Winner of the 2017 Nebula Award, Finalist for the 2017 Hugo Award). It's kind of a dystopian Fantasy / Sci-Fi mix that takes a little too long to build up but gets better (that is more exciting) in the second half. I would have liked it to be …

Awesome article, thanks for sharing!

You've got me interested in trying out Hollow Knight, I'll add that to my wishlist. Elden Ring and Ghost of Tsushima are both games that I've tried and did not finish for very different reasons. While Elden Ring is just not my type of game, I completely agree with your assessment of Ghost of …

Free stuff yay!

Let's goooooo!

Nothing spectacular from me. A friend of mine recently sent me a template for "your Top 25 games of all time" and I couldn't even come up with more than 10 :D On the plus side, I usually finish them.

Anyways. Here's my schedule for October:

  • Keep adding Rogue and DK wins in Hearthstone (less than 100 …

I can't express how happy I am for wild. Even not knowing what the changes will be, just the fact that they acknowledge the problematic decks and at least try to do something about them is a huge improvement. There's barely a problematic deck left imo and I'm very much looking forward to exploring the new meta. 

Undead Priest is still working fine. I've climbed to D3 with it on a 6-star-bonus. To my surprise, Warrior isn't the worst matchup, Warlock is far more difficult to handle ([card]Defile[/card] is a nightmare for Reborn boards). [card]soulburner varia[/card] is a nice addition to the usual list. I replaced Astalor with her to spice things up a bit - as …

Honestly I think Undead Priest is still meta even without this new addition. VS rates it at tier 2 and I've piloted it to Diamond 6 on a 6-star bonus this month.

That said, rating the new card is pretty hard. I can see your argument, but on the other hand you usually want to hold the upper hand …

The DK cards all look very bad, but I like the Priest package. The legendary will keep me interested in playing Standard until the next rotation on its own - Undead Priest is a very viable deck as it is and now it got a new toy.

Still, the overall impression of the mini-set is kinda meh for me. …

So 4 years have gone by since I've started this thread and not only have I changed my mind about not doing a Hearthstone specific tattoo, I also came up with a unique design of my own. Luckily I have a very talented stepdaughter who polished it up a bit and so I've made an appointment for October the 13th …

Seconded. At this point, even if the major overhaul that I suspect is going on behind the scenes were to happen tomorrow, it would need to be flanked by massive PR stunts because it feels like there's hardly a handful of people left who comes here regularly.

Even Shaman will surely run [card]Totally Totems[/card] as well, don't you think so?

I usually am a very positive person but these "Wild" changes leave me disappointed af. No hype whatsoever for the buffed cards and the new stuff here.

Why? Well, good luck playing C'Thun decks against Tony Druid, Big Priest, Mech Paladin, Secret Mage and Frog Shaman. We have been waiting for months for them to address the problematic cards …

Those aren't Wild changes. They are buffing these cards to make Twist more interesting.

Hey, nice to read from you. Those numbers never fail to impress me, well done!

I'm currently focussing on Rogue, DK and DH (in that order). The first two will probably get done some time this year, but as much as I love 1.000 wins Illidan, collecting those wins is just a massive pain. I can't seem to find …
