The Hearthstone Devs Answered Your Questions in Q&A #1 - Battlegrounds, Solo Content Returning, New Ways to Play, & More

Yeah, creating art to not anger anyone in a massive global audience is quite limiting. Even without trying to cater to a global audience, sci-fi and fantasy are in a bit of a weird spot when it comes to representation. …

The Hearthstone Devs Answered Your Questions in Q&A #1 - Battlegrounds, Solo Content Returning, New Ways to Play, & More

Last I checked, dancing partners don't need to be in love. Heck, ballroom dancing often involves switching partners, so you really can't infer anything romantic into it. Even if you could, they are shades with no hint of gender, so …

The Hearthstone Devs Answered Your Questions in Q&A #1 - Battlegrounds, Solo Content Returning, New Ways to Play, & More

Calm down. This is exactly why it helps to read the original question and answer, and not just the summary. The devs only started talking about this AFTER seeing the question, when it makes perfect sense to consider the practicalities …

Two New Rogue Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's Maw and Disorder Mini-Set

It is still a secret mechanically, and not even the first to trigger at the start of your own turn (recall [card]Competitive Spirit[/card], and [card]Plagiarize[/card] has pretty much the same trigger). Aside from that, the opponent won't know what secret …

Hearthstone's New Mini-Set Reveals Continue - Maw and Disorder Introduces Another Neutral Legendary Card, The Jailer

If both players use The Jailer and Bolf, and neither has untargeted hard removal to get rid of the opponent's Bolf, won't it force a stalemate where neither player can win before the 45 turn limit kicks in? If it …

Suspicious Interaction

Those suspicious minions have a little sparkle emblem beneath them (same as spellburst's I think) that goes away after the opponent makes their guess, so the devs must have coded it as an effect attached to the minion that is …

[Updated] Hearthstone’s Patch 24.2 Is Now Live - Huge Battlegrounds Revamp, Runestones as New Currency, In-game Reporting, Expanded Leaderboards, & More
Quote From Suchti0352

Now add currency exchange into this mix and the gap becomes bigger in some countries than in others.

The size of the gap doesn't grow simply with currency conversion. The 1 cent …

[Updated] Hearthstone’s Patch 24.2 Is Now Live - Huge Battlegrounds Revamp, Runestones as New Currency, In-game Reporting, Expanded Leaderboards, & More

Whoever they got to do the maths for Runestones costs really hates people buying in bulk (or loves ripping them off). In USD you lose a few cents for the higher quantities, but in Sterling (UK) you lose whole pounds, …

Upcoming Hearthstone Nerf Leaks Confirmed by Blizzard - Celestial Alignment Changed, Buffs to Paladin, Warrior, & More!

Well, Freeze Shaman became a meme largely because for KotFT the devs knew it's not fun to play against someone who repeatedly freezes your whole board. Snowfall Guardian always felt like an example of the saying "those who don't learn …

The Countess is a New Legendary Paladin Card Revealed for Murder at Castle Nathria by Masaru

My guess is it is one of theme. The pure-paladin cards are (normally) thematic representations of intolerance, zealotry and a 'holier than thou' attitude, which are easy to map onto a lot of paladin characters. You could probably justify a …

Hearthstone Designers Cora Georgiou and Leo Robles Clarify How Rogue's Kidnap Secret Works

If it does end up backfiring more than helping, they might consider buffing it to be a 'when' effect (unless secret rogue as a whole happens to be strong). For now though, I'm willing to wait and see how well …

Widowbloom Seedsman is a New Castle Nathria Druid Card Revealed by Atlas

Hurts more? Come back when you've had deathrattle synergies every expansion for a year (including the precursor to locations!) and nought but coins to show for it :P

Orion, Mansion Manager is a New Castle Nathria Mage Legendary Card Revealed on Douyu

Rogue's RNG is nearly always in-hand generation, meaning what you actually do with it is still controlled by the rogue. [card]Infiltrator Lilian[/card] is a rare exception necessitated by her being able to attack on the opponent's turn, while Tess... OK, …

Orion, Mansion Manager is a New Castle Nathria Mage Legendary Card Revealed on Douyu

I think Orion's design would be too passive for rogue. One way or another, rogue is always about precise, controlled shenanigans, and Orion just kinda sits there and does his thing largely out of the control of his owner. He …

Orion, Mansion Manager is a New Castle Nathria Mage Legendary Card Revealed on Douyu

I'm not so convinced. Most of the time you can just kill Orion before triggering a secret. There are mage secrets that would trigger first in most situations (e.g. [card]Counterspell[/card] if the opponent doesn't have minions to do the job, …

New Rogue Minion - Halkias

I has occurred to me that [card]Preparation[/card] might be Halkias' best friend since, as others have pointed out, it would be optimistic to hope any of the 3 rogue secrets in Standard will stick around for a turn. Prep would …

Kidnap is a New Rogue Secret Coming to Hearthstone in the Castle Nathria Expansion - Revealed by Blizzard

You're not wrong, and it is arguably the least informative wording they have ever put on a card. At least until you see the Sack token, which makes it all super apparent. I suspect there was no way of squeezing …

Kidnap is a New Rogue Secret Coming to Hearthstone in the Castle Nathria Expansion - Revealed by Blizzard

I assumed Cora meant the minion returns to their hand after they kill the sack, which would be a 0/4 deathrattle on your side of the board. Either way, it occurs to me you wouldn't be able to get the …
