Madame Lazul and Maiev Shadowsong Skins Return to Hearthstone's In-Game Shop for a Limited Time

Psycho? That is slanderous! I'll have you know that it's perfectly reasonable to keep a shirtless, sculpted, slab of a man locked up for only yourself to watch over because he's been a bad, bad, boy ! And if somebody …

Hearthstone's Murder at Castle Nathria Rewards Track Detailed - Diamond Cards, New Coins, Tavern Pass Benefits, & More

[card]Sire Denathrius[/card] being free just straight-up saved me 1600 dust. Glad for that. That would've been a day-one craft.

This might be the first pass I try to hold some quests for, because getting [card]Murlocula[/card] for free is worth. …

Hearthstone Mercenaries Updates for Patch 24.0 - C’Thun Special Event, Sir Finley Joins the Action, Balance Changes, & Various Fixes

If it wasn’t for the fact that Findley was calved-off to a post-track pack for non-Tavern-Pass-Buyers, this would be an absolutely perfect patch for Nature players. As it stands, it’s still very good.

Anacondra has felt like she was …

Today's Special Hearthstone Events - Murder at Castle Nathria Script Reading + Free Pack and Developer Q&A

For the billionth time, the way HS handles announcements is terrible. Well, I came to this site because it was the only way to catch announcements and you all announced, so good on you for that one.

Hearthstone Designers Cora Georgiou and Leo Robles Clarify How Rogue's Kidnap Secret Works

Seemed like you were attacking the thousands upon thousands of people who want the game to be clearer not just for themselves, but for new players and casual players. And those players deserve the best they can be given; I …

Hearthstone Designers Cora Georgiou and Leo Robles Clarify How Rogue's Kidnap Secret Works
Quote From davidwizard

Their job isn't to communicate clearly - their job is to create a fun experience.

 

That's an utterly bizarre formulation. Clear communication makes for a fun experience. Board games have …

Hearthstone Designers Cora Georgiou and Leo Robles Clarify How Rogue's Kidnap Secret Works

If your job is to communicate clearly and you don't do that job, but you produce a beautiful painting, you may be a good painter, but you're a crap communicator and didn't do your job. It isn't creative that they …

Hearthstone Designers Cora Georgiou and Leo Robles Clarify How Rogue's Kidnap Secret Works

a) The wording isn't creative imo and b) people have complained about this since beta, noting freeze and windfury. They have solutions to this problem (mouseover) and creative use of that solution has been praised. They're doing a deliberately bad …

Murlocula is a New Castle Nathria Card Revealed by Ben Heathstone

This doesn't even need murloc synergies to justify a slot -- dude pally (which will likely be bad), could run this, for example. Demon Hunter could, conceivably, run this in an aggro package because it has an ultra-earlygame card that …

Every rule of this card should be available both in the deckbuilder and in-game.

Party Crasher is a New Card Coming to Hearthstone in the Castle Nathria Expansion - Revealed by Blisterguy

I enjoy knowing what cards do. Hearthstone has gone from making that difficult to actively hating it.

Widowbloom Seedsman is a New Castle Nathria Druid Card Revealed by Atlas

When an expansion lets you do the same thing you were doing more cheaply, your class gains relative strength against the others. Druid and, to a lesser but notable extent, Hunter get exactly that this expansion but are already meta …

Dean Ayala’s Hearthstone Q&A Recap #45 - Disruption Effects, Two-Set Narratives, Location Cards Trivia, & More

[quote from="dapperdog"]Its not really about us hating disruption. Its more on team5's design decisions making one sided metas, filled with uninteractive bs.[/quote]

Indeed, and Ayala missing that the titanic amount of self-developing mana cheat is what drives the game …

Theotar, the Mad Duke is a New Legendary Card Revealed by Thijs for Castle Nathria

Clean the Scene is a New Priest Card Revealed by Alliestrasza for Murder at Castle Nathria

Not good, but better than Against the Odds in Quest Priest, which is also not good. This also doesn't answer any problems Priest has, which is either how to out-health an inevitability kill from Warlock or how to play for …

Party Favor Totem is a New Shaman Card Revealed by Buffed for Murder at Castle Nathria

I'm looking at the bare minimum you need for Totem synergy and Infuse jumpstarting and it produces no consistent threat on board and no board speed (rush) in a world where Druid gets several dozen mana's worth of …

Three New Castle Nathria Druid Card Revealed by Wronchi Including the Legendary Topior the Shrubbagazzor

The fact that Toplor is a permanent effect is being overlooked and people are underselling how violently toxic this card is. This combination of free board presence plus face threat wouldn't be tolerated in many other classes. Not a day …
