    Not gonna lie, I was going to vote for Hench-Clan Squire, but the folks in the comment section are absolutely right: The Chonker isn't match for anyone.

    I don't see what there is to fear here.
    People will work from home not because the situation is tragic, but rather because it's in everyone's interest to not arrive at that point.

    It's the exact difference between preventive measures and repressive measures, being the former ones adopted in order to contain a certain situation that could worsen quickly if left unchecked and the latter ones in order to deal with an already set scenario.

    Colossus of the Moon is a really interesting addition to Res Priest.

    However, if it ends up in your hand before Zerek's Cloning Gallery is played, I fear it may be a bit difficult to find a whole turn to put it in play without suffering consequences. The first thing that came into mind after thinking this was adding Blatant Decoy to the deck, but then it would even be worse...

    You can call it whatever you want, you can "take a bucket of piss and call it Granny's peach tea" but that won't chance the importance it should be given and the consequences it's causing.

    I'm sorry to be so harsh (I've even read your comment multiple times), but your post doesn't make any sense.

    Ooh I see, now I understand how some people may feel while playing against this kind of decks.
    From what I read, it looks like you have a pretty big upside (which also "ignores" part of one of the game's base mechanics: trading) with a really small downside (counterable with the same type of minion).

    The game is still in beta and the communication seems to be excellent, so I think you shouldn't worry about this mechanic going unscathed for too long.

    Thanks to both for the explanations and have a good time :)

    Why not? They're kinda neat. Remember Blackrock Crash? I actually enjoyed that Brawl together with the idea of the community working together in order to achieve some goals.

    The more interactions the better it is for both of us.

    funny because I was thinking of taking a break because of all the Elusive spam that fundamentally invalidates the core gameplay.

     

    I guess we'll see in a week if they're able to correctly identify and address problems in the game.

    I'm not a Runeterra player (haven't played the game even once), but I've read about this "Elusive" issue many times and we can say that I got pretty curious.

    To put it simple, what's the matter? Why is it perceived so poorly?

    To put it in simple terms it is like having flying before they added reach, though saying that is also making the assumption that reach fixed flying in MtG

    I thank you for your reply, but unfortunately I'm not familiar with MtG either :(

    To be fair, if it's going to happen even with this schedule I'm just going to laugh at myself

    That means that the reveal season will last less than 20 days, which is quite fast considering what we're used to.

    I'm not gonna complain about it: in fact, I totally agree with this approach (a shorter period of time guarantees the hype to not fade badly like in the past, when he always had 2 whole weeks of complete void between the announcement and the beginning of the reveal season); I just wish there was a bit more communication...

    Imagine something like this, but for Hearthstone.

    This is developer insight.

    Quote From RavenSunHS

    Afterall, the Dragon had nothing to do with the themes in RoS.

    The exact opposite can be said with the Year of the Raven and The Witchwood and the Year of the Kraken and Whispers of the Old Gods.

    If we really want to push this pattern, RoS had nothing to do with Dragons because the whole Year was a single story narrated throughout multiple expansions, so Ros, but not even SoU or DoD we complete by themselves.

     

    I personally don't like the idea to always trying to find some sort of like between themes and expansions (I mean, it's there, but I don't get crazy trying to think about it), so how about we just see what will come? After all, we're never gonna be prepared.

    I'm at a loss for words to describe how much I despise Resurrect Priest. Please make it go away and give this class a viable win condition already.

    The hate towards Resurrect Priest is astounding given the fact that both those who play it and those who face it don't like the archetype at all most of the times.

    I actually miss just a couple of commons and races from the Odd Mage list, so I could give it a fair spin!

    I think you are underestimating the old Saronite Chain Gang

    Yeah, but in Even Hunter Phase Stalker is not the only way you put Secrets in play.
    Either way, I'm not against a buff to the Spellstone, but I rather don't see it as game breaking as other changes may result.
