Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's First Forged in the Barrens Balance Update Coming on April 13

Refreshing 1 per spell is fine in decks with minions, because they usually run lots of spells anyway. If the deck has a 50:50 split between minions and spells, the Spring Water averages out to refreshing 1 mana, making it …

Hearthstone's Pen Flinger Can No Longer Attack Face, Watch Posts Nerfed, and More! Forged in the Barrens Nerfs Arrive Tomorrow

I didn't think it would affect Jandice either, but you'd expect to have seen her summon herself quite a few times if she could, and probably remember the low-roll too, yet I have no memory of it recent enough that …

Hearthstone's Pen Flinger Can No Longer Attack Face, Watch Posts Nerfed, and More! Forged in the Barrens Nerfs Arrive Tomorrow

She might have been caught up in the change that came during Scholomance where cards cannot generate themselves anymore unless they specifically state it (e.g. [card]Dreadsteed[/card]). Normally that affects discover cards, but it might be general enough to affect Jandice …

Dean Ayala's Community Q&A #13 - Tickatus, Balance Patches, Curse of Naxxramas in Classic, User-Generated Content, and More!

It's not just control it screws over. Any midrange/value deck gets shafted too because warlock's removal is so strong, meaning it requires a grind before you can exhaust all the removal and finally finish them off. It's not helped that …

Is it worth keeping the class-card packs from the book of... Adventures for the upcoming mini set?
Quote From kramerofboandls

So the cards in the packs are always standard format? 

Or standard from the time, i received them? 

They are from Standard at the time you open them (I used rogue, …

Meet Hearthstone's Mercenaries! Blizzard Releases Backstories on the 10 New Characters

'They' has been a perfectly valid way to refer to a single person in English for a long time (since the 14th Century according to Wikipedia). So no, nobody is changing the language by using 'they' in the singular, they're …

What Does a Unique Hearthstone Timeline Mean for its Story?

I always thought the blood elves had joined the Horde during Varian's kidnapping anyway. That's exactly the context of the World of Warcraft comics in which Valeera appears, which are set somewhere in the late Burning Crusade (BC) time period.

Mage and Paladin are Dominating Hearthstone's Forged in the Barrens Meta With Over 50% of Decks Played

I completely agree that set rotation is another huge factor that I had missed, despite not saying so explicitly in my previous response (I gave you an upvote for it instead).

I still think The Spring Water was obviously …

Let's be honest, they should definitely have foreseen a card that is better than Pot of Greed would be a problem. You don't even need to look at the context to know that; it's like the cardinal rule of TCG/CCGs.

The simple fact we have these problems and they are quick to change them shows the broken decks are unintentional. That doesn't mean they didn't intend to make [card]Refreshing Spring Water[/card] and [card]Sword of the Fallen[/card] strong, just that they …

Mage and Paladin are Dominating Hearthstone's Forged in the Barrens Meta With Over 50% of Decks Played

The more highroll-y nature of pally and mage drawing specific cards in the first few turns can make it feel worse, certainly, but I'm not sure it actually is. At least I have more hope when they don't highroll than …

Quote From slychd

The deck is fun because of the randomness. It's really fun to play cards from other classes, especially one's I seldom play. It's honestly the most fun I've had in Hearthstone in years...

Dean Ayala's Community Q&A #12 - Barrens Balance Meeting on Monday, AI Ladder, Core Set, Heroic Battlegrounds, and More

Spring Water could simply refresh 1 mana crystal per spell instead of 2. That way it is the same as Arcane Intellect if your deck is ~ 50:50 minions and spells, and is a 2 mana draw 2 when you …

I had to complete the murloc shaman achievement somehow, and sadly it's the best hope the deck has of not running out of fuel unless you have the luxury of having murlocs to trade away with [card]Magicfin[/card]. If I hadn't …

I'm pretty sure it looks like this :)

[cardimg]Scourgelord Garrosh[/cardimg]

As for how it would play? That's much less obvious, especially as they didn't even want to let shaman have fun with freeze effects.

I'm all for RNG-heavy decks, but not if they are near/at the top of the meta. So despite enjoying Lunacy mage in DMF, I have quickly grown to loathe it.

I know its a highroll, but the last one …
