What cards and decks are you most looking forward to in classic?

Something with [card]Alarm-o-bot[/card]. I miss the days when there was a genuine hope that it would survive for a turn...

Hearthstone Had 23.5 Million Active Players in 2020 - Year of the Phoenix Stats
Quote From sto650

It begs the question of why they reported battlegrounds differently from all of the other stats. It's literally the only stat that says anything about hours at all.

My job involves making …

Hearthstone is Actively Looking Into Allowing Players to Upgrade Normal Cards to Their Golden Forms
Quote From FortyDust

You can already upgrade normal cards into golden. You disenchant the normal one and use the dust (plus a ton more dust) to make the golden one. You can also already use gold to do …

Some Cards in Hearthstone's New Rotating Core Set Are Dean Ayala's Favourites - Here's Are His Top 10 Favourite Cards

I don't dislike [card]Defile[/card] at all, but I also wouldn't want it back in Standard. Perhaps I'd be more happy to see it return if I didn't currently hate control warlock because of [card]Tickatus[/card], but as it stands that piece …

Hearthstone's New Completely Free Core Set Will Have 235 Cards - Basic & Classic Move to Wild, New Classic Format

I'm normally very skeptical of adding Classic versions of games precisely because those games had to keep adding things to keep it fresh, so the Classic mode seems doomed to fail unless it innovates. However, I do think Hearthstone has …

BlizzConline 2021 Schedule is Live - Hearthstone Has Two Major Events

Well, that's all pretty inconvenient for us in Europe. I'm sure OoC has got it covered though! :)

Am I right in thinking Blizz will be making it all available afterwards?

Hearthstone's New Completely Free Core Set Will Have 235 Cards - Basic & Classic Move to Wild, New Classic Format

A major issue with limiting the number of classes is that some classes are natural counters to others. You need a whole spectrum of classes - all having pros and cons against each other - to avoid one becoming top …

Celestalon Answers Community Questions on the Upcoming Hearthstone Classic Mode, Core and Legacy Card Sets

People were hopelessly confused about how the Galakronds would work, but everyone understood them just fine as soon as they were able to test them out. Given there seems to be much less (Edit to actually finish the sentence:) confusion …

Hearthstone's New Completely Free Core Set Will Have 235 Cards - Basic & Classic Move to Wild, New Classic Format

Agreed, the HoF cards should be given priority if they are considered equally, especially as they will actually be usable in the Classic format whereas their replacements won't be.

However, the maths changes if you have (almost) all the …

My Little Rant on Hearthstone

My counter rant

You can take shots at Blizzard's 'laziness' if you want, but in truth the players make this problem for themselves. While it is true that there are occasionally metas where decks are truly dominant (e.g. DH …

Celestalon Answers Community Questions on the Upcoming Hearthstone Classic Mode, Core and Legacy Card Sets

I think the heart of @LilianVoss' comment is that Blizz has been clear on this, but streamers/youtubers have been too hasty in discussing it before they have taken in all the details themselves. This has apparently led to some of …

Hearthstone's New Completely Free Core Set Will Have 235 Cards - Basic & Classic Move to Wild, New Classic Format

Classic packs won't have anything to do with the Core set, even with some Classic cards being in there, because we'll be given the full Core set for free regardless.

The only reason to hold onto the Classic packs …

Whoopsie-doodle!

I wonder if they bring back the achievements for all the golden murlocs/pirates awarding golden Murk-Eye/parrots. I know my Classic collection is a whole lot shinier than I had pieced together before they disappeared...

All The Hearthstone Cards That Will be Reverted For The New Classic Game Mode

Tink was changed earlier.

It looks like they chose the last balance patch before Naxx, which would theoretically be when Classic was the most balanced within itself. As I recall, class balance was actually really good back then, which …

7 Remarkable Mages from World of Warcraft Who Deserve to Be Hearthstone Cards

Well, Valeera got possessed during the story arc of identifying and defeating Onyxia, long before Me'dan entered the story. I'm pretty sure that arc is completely canon, and her mana/fel addiction - along with the curse of Kathra'natir - is …

7 Remarkable Mages from World of Warcraft Who Deserve to Be Hearthstone Cards

There's a good chance Valeera's Book of Heroes will bring Meryl into it (likely as a minion in her deck), since he took over as host to the dreadlord Kathra'natir from her. 

How the Hearthstone team plans on handling …

7 Remarkable Mages from World of Warcraft Who Deserve to Be Hearthstone Cards

Even those three can be argued to dabble in magic within warcraft canon. E.g. magic arrows with [card]Arcane Shot[/card], and rogues can canonically go invisible which surely requires some sort of magic.

Hearthstone's Lunar New Year Event Begins on February 9 - 4 New Hero Skins, Tavern Brawl, 9 Free Card Packs

The Jade Lotus was only a thing in 1 expansion, so I wouldn't expect it to have any influence on cosmetics 4+ years later unless it was explicitly tied to the Jade Lotus, e.g. if [card]Aya Blackpaw[/card] herself was to …

Crafting Hero Portraits in Hearthstone? The Dev Team Has Been Brainstorming It

I don't think you are interpreting him correctly. He's not upset that players are hoarding gold for the next expansion, because when the next expansion comes that gold gets spent. That's expressly saving up for something, not just hoarding it …
