Quote From Mathemagical

Can’t believe they’re not going to change Maestra’s interaction with gnolls and undercover agent. I mean, they’re generally good at nerfing what needs to be nerfed, so I foresee a much better meta than the current roguestone, but as long as Maestra still finds a place in rogue decks I’m gonna be pissed. For me, …

[card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card]: YES. They didnt brutally murder [card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card] completely, [card]Archmage Antonidas[/card] OTKS survive! That's a relief, and now you cant use [card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card] alongside cards like [card]Drek'thar[/card]. This means that [card]Flamewaker[/card] like OTKs (And [card]Ignite[/card] Mage) are taking a HUGE blow. Those decks wont be able to OTK anymore on turn 4-5, instead your probably happy around turn 8-9 …

Just wanted to comment on two parts of your prediction;

- [card]Wildpaw gnoll[/card] at 6 is significant, because that means without [card]secret passage[/card] shenanigans, its going to be 4 mana without further support, which means the card is just vanilla with rush. At 7 mana, it's just plain weak without an extra reduction at …

I'm a bit late to the "party" but my nerf predictions are:

- Standard:

Rogue: I might be a burgle rogue fan, but this... monstrocity in standard is NOT a burgle deck. It just abuses [card]Wildpaw Gnoll[/card] and destroys the "burgle" rogue name. So i hope it gets nerfed...HARD. My guess is from 5 to 7 mana. A …

Oh and apparently i'm the #5 top commenter in 2021? That's surprising. I guess taking part in discussions during every HS card reveal season helped a lot.

Okay i just looked at my profile, and noticed that in my profile i say: "You might not see me comment too much, because i'm …

Congrats Flux and the team on the growth of the site! I hope 2022 will be even better!!!

Maybe i should get a non-default actual avatar. I was planning on doing …

Buffs: Those mage buffs are AMAZING. I love ping mage, and [card]Wildfire[/card]s buff is incredible. Now you can play [card]Wildfire[/card] into [card]Magister Dawngrasp[/card] without losing the damage. ALSO this is a BIG buff for ODD Mage because [card]Frost Lich Jaina[/card] also gets buffed because of the [card]Wildfire[/card] buff. 

As someone who plays a lot of [card]Magister Dawngrasp[/card]s, the hero …

Community before expansion released: "These combo decks are too strong, The new altarac decks and archetypes won't see play if you don't nerf the OTKs"

Blizzard: "Don't worry about that, we expect Shattered in Altarac valley to change the meta in a big way."

Pro players: "Keep playing stormwind OTK decks during THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!" (And sometimes an …

Another "bug" i've noticed is not really gameplay impacting, but the Edwin Vancleef hero portrait shows up as either an empty slot or as a default jaina when selecting your deck. Only when your ingame you will see the correct edwin portrait.

I originally thought maybe it might be a "feature" because i had [card]Maestra of the masquerade[/card] in …

Played my first game of the expansion, and i was playing Secret BIG Hunter against a spell mage. (One without questline, but still spell-only because they ran [card]Apexis Blast[/card]. They also didn't run any new cards.) I was afraid i lost the game when i noticed them playing turn 2 [card]Coin[/card] into [card]Incanter's Flow[/card] but decided not to concede and …

I did the "small" pre-order (first time buying a pre-order in a LONG time) and i got [card]Magister Dawngrasp[/card] and [card]Captain Galvangar[/card] as my free legendaries. (I like both, but i'm especially happy with [card]Magister Dawngrasp[/card]!)

Opened 114 packs total, and got [card]Ivus, the forest lord[/card], [card]Xyrella, the devout[/card], [card]Wing Commander Ichman[/card], [card]Dreadlich Tamsin[/card], [card]Caria Felsoul[/card] and a pity-timer …

Yeah there are a LOT of bugs right now. Also i accidentally found out about the [card]Dr. Boom, mad genius[/card] crash ingame. Let's say i was.. not happy about my game crashing. But on the other hand i thought it was hilarious and ironic that a HERO card crashes your game, while the main gimmick of the next expansion is …

I was playing Deathrattle Ress shadow priest in standard against a questline warrior. (The things this game makes me do in order to play a control deck...) I barely managed to hold on for the majority of the game, and managed to turn the game around into my favor despite [card]The juggernaut[/card] giving them lots of value. But then it …

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

Also big sad for no Vanessa hero skin. Would have killed for that one, but Dragon Mage thingy is cool too.

Yeah same. A Vanessa hero skin would have been AMAZING, and it would have made sense considering the Book of mercenaries storyline so far. And it would have been really cool …

That's a LOT of stuff. And as long as the price remains the same, then it's a really good deal if you play Hearthstone AND BGs. Lots of cosmetics, and i'm surprised were getting [card]Lokholar, the ice lord[/card] as the free legendary, that's really nice. [card]Korrak the bloodrager[/card] seems like it has potential to be a pretty sick diamon card, …

Really excited for the new cards, but i dont feel like too much will change. A lot of meta decks will remain good, as most classes mainly got late game stuff but not too much "survival" tools for early game. And even if the meta slows down, all the game ending OTK (questline) decks will force out a hyper aggro …

[card]Xyrella, the devout[/card] because i really want to have fun with all kinds of deathrattle priest combos. This just seems really fun! she is basicly [card]Shudderwock[/card] for deathrattles.

[card]Tamsin's Phylactery[/card] Because [card]Tamsin's Phylactery[/card] + [card]Wicked Shipment[/card] into the [card]Envoy Rustwix[/card] deathrattle sounds fun.

[insert any big spell mage stuff + [card]Magister Dawngrasp[/card]] because i want to play that …

ODD DH hero power with a side of [card]Raza the chained[/card]. This effect seems insane, and i bet that [card]Felfire Deadeye[/card] will be nerfed pretty quickly. Because [card]Felfire Deadeye[/card] + [card]expendable Performers[/card] seems broken, even if performers rotates next expansion. Actually, i'm certain [card]Felfire Deadeye[/card] + ANY DH card that summons things with rush is super strong. What a powerhouse …

[card]Flanking Maneuver[/card]? That's a "interesting maneuver". Really good for BIG DH, and refreshes [card]Kurtrus, Demon-render[/card]s hero power twice AND it could remove a big taunt minion when facing a BIG deck.

Amazing minion for Token DH. Will see play because of [card]Kurtrus, Demon-render[/card], and will probably be [card]Animated Broomstick[/card]d later into the game.
