Dealing with Sunk Cost Effect in HS

Here's a useful extension to your options: leave until you get an urge to play again. Your account and collection aren't going to disappear, so stopping playing doesn't waste previous investment (even ignoring the sunk cost fallacy).

It may …

Okay, this is getting ridiculous

We'll see how it plays out over the coming expansions, but I wouldn't be surprised if DH becomes the cockroachiest cockroach class because it is designed to be good or great at what I consider all the primary mechanics of …

Taking a Look at the Evolution of Hearthstone's Pirate Warrior Through the Years

Once upon a time (towards the latter end of MSoG, just before Un'Goro, if I recall correctly) there was a meta deck called 'Water Rogue' which mixed pirates and murlocs. The murlocs weren't technically pirates, but if you want to …

Blizzard Has Fixed Tavern Brawl Illidan's Instant Win Hero Power and Missing Legendary Quest Rewards

OK, so I fully appreciate the situation Wild-only players might be in, and what follows is not intended to debunk your point of view: the whole matter of the right approach is subjective. Nevertheless, I would point out:

Blizzard Has Fixed Tavern Brawl Illidan's Instant Win Hero Power and Missing Legendary Quest Rewards

I can confirm you are not the only one. I have been thinking these things should always have been made standard anyway because wild has too many things that trivialise the whole adventure.

I am not even sure what …

Trial by Felfire Challenges are Live! New Legendary Quest With Free Hearthstone Packs, 9 Bosses to Defeat

It doesn't matter if fixed AI decks can use Wild cards if they are still balanced around being a reasonable challenge for Standard decks. The longstanding issue with heroic/challenge mode was that Wild cards often made them easy because they …

So I just completed the classic set

Time is money, and nowhere is that more true than with the Classic set...

Seriously though, the problem with hero portraits is people actually care about them, despite them just being gifs with voicelines. You can bet there will …

So I just completed the classic set

I used 'everything' in the viewpoint of whoever implemented the reward when the Basic and Classic (or 'Expert set' as it was back then) sets were everything. I would not even assume someone with a full Classic set has any …

So I just completed the classic set

To be fair, when that achievement was added (i.e. beta I believe) the only things you could get were gold, dust and classic packs, none of which are very important when you have everything. I am not sure if the …

What Decks are Performing the Best in This Week's Tavern Brawl 'An Outlandish Recipe'

In fairness, 41.9% win rate in a Tavern Brawl is fine. It is high enough that it feels like you have a reasonable chance in each game, and you'd only really notice the sub-50% win rate if there was something …

Twin Slice and Battlegrounds Balance Changes Are Now Live!

I did not mean to impose my opinions on anyone else, and my interest in a survey above was a genuine one so I had a fair idea of whether I am an outlier or not.

I don't mind …

Twin Slice and Battlegrounds Balance Changes Are Now Live!

I know WoW has a PvP aspect, but for much of that game classes are not in direct competition with each other. Yes you might want to optimise your characters for high level raiding, but if you are avoiding PvP …

Twin Slice and Battlegrounds Balance Changes Are Now Live!

It was definitely a move that can be justified, but it has had the unfortunate effect of making a lot of players dislike DH instead of being interested in a new class, at which point you have to question whether …

What do you hope to see with DH's identity going forward?
Quote From MurlocAggroB

I'm mostly interested to see what they do with Outcast. It's a neat mechanic, but it's lame that 4/6 cards that use it are literally just card draw.

Also, I love the identity of …

Card Design Conversation - How Is That Spelt?

I'm not sure Shadows meant it as anything other than a harmless joke, similar to how friends can mock each other without meaning any offense. I guess the casual way he wrote it does rather mask it, but that's British …

Aranna Starseeker is Now Live in Battlegrounds with Battlegrounds Perks

I had been assuming they were syncing everything up with the tavern brawl and was willing to give them a pass for making week 1 of the felfire festival 8 days long. Now I'm just confused about their scheduling.

What do you enjoy about the Battlegrounds mode?
Quote From iWatchUSleep

Nothing. I have never, and probably will never, play it. The fact that they spent development time on this rather than on features people wanted (I don't recall anyone asking for battlegrounds, and why would …

An Early Preview of Hearthstone's New Demon Hunter Hero - Aranna Starseeker

English is renowned for having inconsistent spelling, even before different versions of English (e.g. British or American) put stress in different places or have different pronunciations. So who's to say what Aranna sounds like?

In any case the Innkeeper …

7 Magic the Gathering Cards Banned From Play Due to Racial Depictions

They are not saying 'Destroy all black creatures' is racist. They are acknowledging MtG is not free from the wider social context in which it exists, and in that context having something called 'Cleanse' with the command to destroy all …

7 Magic the Gathering Cards Banned From Play Due to Racial Depictions

Internal racism within a game is fine. Take Warcraft: no one has a problem with the copious racism there because it is using story points entirely within the Warcraft universe.

The issues arise when a fantasy world stupidly brings …
