Yes and no. A 3 attack weapon isn't so useful on turn 6 as it is on turn 3, which is an example of why appropriate mana costs don't simply rise linearly with stats.

It's a good card, but …

I'm thinking more or less the same thing. Hunter has a long and (not so) proud history of having really strong cards for big minion or combo decks that make no impact on the meta whatsoever. The only time I …

It doesn't look like the sort of rogue deck that would worry about fatigue. If it did, I'd just embrace it and throw a [card]Togwaggle's Scheme[/card] in there to give you a ridiculous end-game. Perhaps put in the Jade cards …

With half of that rogue deck already being deathrattle cards, I'd be so tempted to replace the [card]Dirty Tricks[/card] with [card]Roll the Bones[/card].

The rough estimate of the number of cards you get is 1/2 + 2/4 + 3/8 …

As far as I remember, the rarities are locked in when buying a pack, but the cards themselves are created when the pack is opened, so yeah, it's a good thing to wait.

@Angryshuckie

I find it rather disingenuous of you to make a direct comparison to a playstyle in chess that you state explicitly is not more skillful than actually playing chess normally and isn't even …

I had a discussion about this when it was first announced. I feel similarly to you, in that I always thought exploring the alternate LoL universes was inevitable, but I did gather that the main issue is how much of …

Quote From frenzy

Great article!

 

Does it take into consideration where cards interact. Like discounting effects (e.g. [card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[\card]). Do they add weighting in your comparison?

Taking to a silly (and obvs theoretical) extreme, …

Yes, it should. I somewhat doubt a slow rogue deck would ever be passive enough to make good use of it, but there's always the [card]Shadowstep[/card]/[card]Togwaggle's Scheme[/card] dream with cards like this.

We just have to wait, people that believe in actibliz will tell you, that they're not releasing hard data because they are still tweaking the numbers, people like me believe they are reluctant to release …

I'm pretty sure they're corrupted. On the flip side, I doubt it would recognise any uncorrupted versions you play, so you are doubly incentivised to corrupt them if you want YShaarj to be useful.

Someone please correct me if …

He does get another card reveal, on the 9th of November I think. It looks kinda plant-like, so possibly a druid card, though the little cropped images they tease us with have been getting difficult to make meaningful guesses about …

You may ike how tech/disruption ahs been handled (for neutrals atleast) in HS but i dont at all.

I dont think cards like stickyfinger, platebreaker ,geist(to lesser extend) drity rat,hecklebot and all are good/healthy …

@Joesson

I think at its heart this is all the result of the basic rules of the game, especially not being able to play cards on your opponent's turn. This obviously stops you being able to directly mess with …

Quote From Joesson

I think this is a very high quality thread. I think Hearthstone could benefit from having variance particularly in the start of the game reduced by a little bit. Examples of this:

* Players start …

Quote From clawz161

I think the problem with randomness in hearthstone is the amount of variance. 

You get the point. Basically a deck designed to be as annoying to play against and luck dependent as possible to …

Quote From Thraxus

You are saying that "To comment on the amount of RNG in HS is to comment on the game environment, not the skill it takes to play it well." which is right, but does not …

Hearthstone often called an RNG fiesta, and the prevailing wisdom is that it takes less skill to play than other TCGs/CCGs because of it. I’m not here to argue whether HS, MtG, LoR etc. is the more skilful since as …

I am not at all saying you are wrong to want to consider it that way: there is definite merit to focusing only on the cards in the meta since that is what dominates most players' perception of how many …
