Welcome to the Onyxia's Lair! Alterac Valley's Mini-Set Releases on February 15 and Brings 35 New Cards to Hearthstone

Do we really want him back when his entire thing, both in game and in meme is charge? We already have Mr Smite bringing the spirit of Leeroy to Standard. By the looks of it we have the 10 (probably …

Welcome to the Onyxia's Lair! Alterac Valley's Mini-Set Releases on February 15 and Brings 35 New Cards to Hearthstone

On the one hand I fully understand how we ended up here. On the other hand, Onyxia's lair is a long long way from Alterac Valley and the pedant inside me is pained by these cards officially being part of …

How do Pot of Greed cards work?

The meme answer is that after all these years people are still discovering the secrets of Pot of Greed and don't fully understand it yet, much less its synergy cards.

For a proper answer I have to disclose my …

Hearthstone Releases Beautiful Full Art for the Lunar New Year Battlegrounds Skins

I only have a surface level knowledge of the Three Kingdoms story, but I get the feeling wearing Maiev's helmet might have made things more difficult for Diao Chan :P Besides, Maiev was a (presumably helmet-less) priestess of Elune back …

Favorite expansion/expansions?

For story I'd also pick Rise of Shadows. The Year of the Dragon was the pinnacle of Hearthstone embracing its own identity, both mechanically and thematically, and RoS was the best of the 3 for me. 

It also helps …

Beat That Bounty Boss!
Quote From NebuchadnezzarHS

Do we have to include the specific mercenary in the party to beat the heroic boss for unlocking their equipment? I certainly hope not, because this makes it even more difficult.

I beat heroic …

Post-Nerf Wild
Quote From Thraxus

My impression so far:

  • Odd Hunter: Losing one of its key card was a huge blow; now Tier 3 at best
  • Quest Pirate: If you look at it in a vaccum the …

Tavish vs. Rokara

Keeping hero cards was a definite oversight given the circumstances, though I'm not too fussed about other big swing cards. It would be an optimisation to remove them, sure, but then someone at their end has to spend time making …

Tavish vs. Rokara

I guess they made the decks random so the best choice of hero power changes, thereby encouraging players to switch it up and encounter all the different conversations. Random decks always have some volatility, but given the central purpose of …

Hearthstone Battlegrounds Gets New Hero Skins for Lunar New Year's Three Kingdoms & Mount Racing Themes

I think it's more to do with the Stormwind mount spells, of which 2 appear here, than any foreshadowing.

Full Patch Notes for Hearthstone's 22.2.0 Update Coming on January 25
Quote From coriolis

- Similarly, dragons finally get a fighter...

They already had [merc]WarMaster Voone[/merc] who, while not a dragon himself, is arguably more dragon related than [merc]Brightwing[/merc] is. Needless to say, dragons will really …

Huge Updates Coming to Hearthstone in Patch 22.2 Next Week - Here's What You Need to Know

There's a lot more to Pandaria than just monks though. Even the Shado-Pan has a rogue as its effective second-in-command (Taoshi), so you can do more or less whatever you like in Pandaria without monks being a necessary addition. Ideally …

Microsoft to Acquire Activision Blizzard in a $69 Billion All-Cash Deal
Quote From BasilAnguis

Because, do you guys not have phones?

Well, I have an old-school flip phone with online capabilities that would have made us cringe in the '90s. So for this context no, I …

Beat That Bounty Boss!

I did them a while ago, so my memory is a bit shaky, but a couple I remember quite clearly were:

  1. Beating Snowclaw with [merc]Thrall[/merc]'s elite encounter Hex treasure. It has 5-turn cooldown, so he had to sit …

Blizzard Adds Hearthstone Hero Stickers & GIFs for Social Media to Giphy

It matters, but only up to a point. We Brits experience a lot of different accents, all pronouncing words a bit differently, but still generally understand what everyone means. That's exaggerated even more when you work with people from across …

Blizzard Adds Hearthstone Hero Stickers & GIFs for Social Media to Giphy

Throwing my own hat into the ring, I take the stance that there is no single right way to pronounce "gif" (or any other word for that matter); any pronunciation that is understood in context is fine. There are far …

Hearthstone Battlegrounds Might be Getting a New Jade-themed Board - Jade Gardens

IIRC it sounded like they were finally considering going there without waiting to add monks. Either way Pandaria looks to be some way off still, but it might offer more hope for it appearing in 2023 than if we had …

Big Hotfixes Going Live For Hearthstone Fix Maestra and Various Exploits, Achievements Get Fixed in Patch 22.2

As much as I sympathise with you, non-golden cards generate non-golden things (in this case heroes), so it is working 'correctly'. My golden Maestra is dutifully giving me golden warrior, warlock and DH heroes despite me not having those classes …

Big Mercenaries Updates Coming Soon - New Zone, Bounties, Equipment Change, and Training Grounds

On the whole I agree, though there are actually quite a few power-ups that are interesting and can change how you approach things. To name a few: Valeera's immune+heal while stealthed (especially when also using Scabbs); both VanCleefs get a …
