Hearthstone's Fire Festival Returns This Week! Datamined Details on the Questline Including a Free Summer Warrior Hero

I'm always surprised people don't downvote me when I complain about cosmetic inequity, so I'm sure there's enough interest in the topic to warrant an article.

The focus is usually on new characters (hence why Kael'thas gets more attention …

Hearthstone's Next Expansion is Murder at Castle Nathria - Location Cards, New Cards, Mechanics, and Details Overview

He's probably in mage, so let's be real, there will be a diamond version of him :P

I think the rewards track always has the neutral diamond card though.

New Warrior Minion - Decimator Olgra

It's cute she has the same statline as her husband's angry mode ([card]Mankrik, Consumed by Hatred[/card]). Someone should let him know she's still going strong... albeit dead.

Hearthstone's Fire Festival Returns This Week! Datamined Details on the Questline Including a Free Summer Warrior Hero

Since this article mentions hero portraits, here's a decent place to say this: they finally added artist credits for the portraits! It was always so weird that wasn't said when we had it for cards.

No such info for …

Mercenaries uses only existing art. Like the Cookie fish.

The mercs themselves don't. Most of them have skins that aren't used anywhere else, and quite often they make no sense lore-wise (e.g. …

I'd have to play it again, but I think you could interpret it as Rafaam dying in the LoE version of GA, though it was left ambiguous.

Of the other characters, I'm guessing the blue guy is Pelagos. [spoiler]I …

No penalty? It's established wisdom that you want the smallest possible deck in card games to improve consistency. For most decks, adding 10 cards just means you are less likely to have the best 30 when you want them.

[spoiler]She may be on an exploration mission like Finley. I don't know how she could fit there though, but the background of one of her Mercenaries portraits ("Baroness Elise") is a strong hint[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Elise?! She's a complete dweeb and a do-gooder. She's the last person I'd expect to find in Revendreth (the place where sinners …

Hearthstone Teases the New Expansion - Castle Nathria & Denathrius? Card Reveals Begin on June 27

That would be neat, though I suspect it would be easier and more effective to take the conventional approach and split the Covenants up across the classes that best fit them thematically. In practice, only a few of classes ever …

Doesn't Rastakhan summon totems in his fight in BfA? As with many NPCs he doesn't fit neatly into any one playable class, but there is some shaman-ness in him.

As for whether Sire Denathrius is a good fit in …

Where does any of that conflict with what I said? I only mentioned races, characters and mechanics linked with the zone, and said nothing about the theme itself.

Hearthstone Teases the New Expansion - Castle Nathria & Denathrius? Card Reveals Begin on June 27

My understanding is that the Shadowlands themselves are pretty interesting, but poor storytelling and spending too much time in the Maw ruined it. If you want players to enjoy the game, you don't keep sending them back to the place …

So I guess we should expect lots of dreadlords, vampires and lifesteal. Probably also a collection of WoW's villains to diversify the legendary lineup.

If rogue still doesn't get its own deathrattle minion when going to the Shadowlands, then …

Could the Next Hearthstone Summer Expansion Release Sooner Than Usual?

Let's give them a few years to mature. Whether they are a troll or a bigot, they're not going to listen to rational arguments unless they align with their existing beliefs. If humans actually were superior to the rest of …

Alright edge-lord. It seems you haven't taken to heart the lessons of Pandaria, and could benefit from listening to the pandaren some time.

Which is exactly why he said they'd make some "significant rewards track changes" to increase the rate of gold acquisition if they moved to 4 sets a year.

Hearthstone Patch 23.4.3 Arrives With Sweeping Balance Changes for Standard, Wild, Battlegrounds, and Mercenaries

I don't play Wild at high enough ranks to have really met Pirate Rogue much, but isn't it a pretty conventional aggro/tempo deck? I would have thought you could tech against it reasonably easily if that is your intent. E.g. …
