Blizzard Reveals 3 New Neutral Festival of Legends Cards Including the Legendary Tony, King of Piracy

Reveal-season poopbombs like [card]Tony, King of Piracy[/card] is why new sets haven't excited me for a long time; they just feel like a checklist that makes adapting to the new meta somewhat faster. The dev's commitment to effects people don't …

Hearthstone's Next Expansion is Festival of Legends! Finale Keyword, New Priest Keyword, Everyone Gets Weapons

Yup, I noticed a minute after I posted this and had trouble getting back to my post to fix it. :-/ Thank you.

Hearthstone's Next Expansion is Festival of Legends! Finale Keyword, New Priest Keyword, Everyone Gets Weapons

So they took the Witchwood's lycanthropy mechanic, which wasn't well-appreciated there, and added it to spells.

Well, the mechanic is the very opposite of broken, so maybe they get it right this time. Doubt it, though -- it's really …

Hearthstone's Newest Patch Brings in Standard Card Nerfs, Battleground Balance, and Duels Adjustments

Quest mage time warp and both 10 drops and gnoll worthlessly evolve into gnolls, irrespectively.

Blizzard Commits to Fixing Problems With Hearthstone's Wild Format
Quote From Fluxflashor

Wild was always meant to be a "wild" format where anything was possible with all the old cards.

Virtually nothing is possible with the old cards because a tiny number of them …

Blood Magic

This Brawl needs to be changed to the first spell you play each turn and/or mana's worth of spells up to your current mana crystals or somesuch -- or it should simply be removed. It's almost impossible to be more …

Hearthstone Naxxramas Shop Update - Price Adjustments, New Constructed Hero Skins, Mercenaries Bundles, & More

That mercenaries offer should have massive disclaimers about the mode directly in it; not putting that information in there is just absolutely shitty behavior. Not everyone playing HS is totally online and checking patch notes.

Hearthstone's 25.4 Patch Returns Players to Naxxramas, Battlegrounds Updates, Big Mercenaries Final Content Patch, & More Detailed

As dour as I usually am about Hearthstone design and Mercenaries in particular, those new Mercenaries look fun. In fact, they are the most thematically-linked, mechanically-interwoven, and synergetic suite of cards they've ever produced and look exciting to play.

Everything We Know About Return to Naxxramas - March of the Lich King's Mini-Set Releases February 14

That is extremely confusing, doubly-so because it contradicts how webpages usually work, including this one (as previous reveals had links to secondary pages even though edited culmulative pages like this one existed). You'd be better off changing the artwork and …

Everything We Know About Return to Naxxramas - March of the Lich King's Mini-Set Releases February 14

No. They're referring to the mislink on your frontpage: the article "New Legendary Rivendare, Warrider Joins Return to Naxxramas' Mini-Set and Brings the Horse Riders With Him" links to the page we're on right now and shouldn't.

Hearthstone to Receive a Murloc Dragon Minion in the Upcoming Mini-Set, Return to Naxxramas?

This card was when I started yelling that giving Paladin these half-assed synergies was terrible and they needed dual-tribes to make the (terribly unthematic) archetypes work. Now you can run them but Paladin has better things to do. And y'know …

NAXX OUT? Hearthstone is Getting a Silvermoon City and Naxxramas Crossover Event or Mini-Set

Assuming Naxx is brought back:

Just like with Knights of the Frozen Throne and explicitly unlike Doom in the Tomb, introducing the Curse of Naxxramas will not likely devastate the meta because of how power-crept the game is compared …

Mercenaries Final 25.4 Content Patch Brings Six New Mercs, Dual-Types, Factions, & Mythic Boss Rush

Sylvanas is Undead (Forsaken) and they're Horde. Dawngrasp is a Blood Elf and they're Horde, too, for reasons stemming from WCIII and WoW, long before the Barrens story in HS. On top of this, everything in WoW is either slightly- …

Hearthstone Mercenaries Support Ending, No More Regular Content Updates After 25.4
Quote From Zelgadis

Traditionally Blizzard games stood out in terms of polish, but that was missing from Mercenaries.

Let me put on my tinfoil hat and say that Blizzard was like Japanese industry of the …

Mercenaries Final 25.4 Content Patch Brings Six New Mercs, Dual-Types, Factions, & Mythic Boss Rush

The mythic bonuses appear to be bespoke, which means that some human being had to give each and every ability in Mercenaries a pass. Ignoring the bug fiesta that will probably create (they did say they would do some bugfixes …

Hearthstone Mercenaries Support Ending, No More Regular Content Updates After 25.4

There was never a real good-faith effort here, but I don't think that this is necessarily the fault of the devs (though I'm not in the room with them so I can't tell). It's not merely that the launch was …

Heroic Brawliseum Returns! Should You Spend Your Gold Before Hearthstone's Next Mini-Set Releases?
Quote From Fluxflashor
It beyond frustrates me that Hearthstone hasn't been able to create anything competitive for the average player in the 10 years the game has been around. All of it has just been pumping Twitch stars, a …

Heroic Brawliseum Returns! Should You Spend Your Gold Before Hearthstone's Next Mini-Set Releases?

I knew Brawlesium was coming and it still feels like crap. I was hoping to clear some quests with Brawl; well that's not happening.

This thing is anti-marketing.
