New Card Reveal - Transmogrifier

Honestly not much to say about this that hasn't already been said - it's a gimmick card that probably won't see constructed play outside of for-laughs Plot Twist shenanigans decks. Still, it's always nice to have some of these around …

Hunter Card Reveal - Diving Gryphon

'Worse Town Crier' is right in my view.

Yes, it's a body which can actually accomplish something later into the game, but that analysis misses the deck context. Town Crier in Warrior is specifically slotting into the 1-drop slot …

Legendary Card Reveal - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza

Overhyped in my opinion. Yes it's strong, yes it'll be played in every Highlander deck - but it won't be the centrepiece of those decks. It's no Zephrys, it's not going to make you play Highlander despite no other Highlander …

Mage Legendary Reveal - Chenvaala

People are a little too down on this card I feel. Don't get me wrong, it's not an incredible card - but it's solid. Probably shouldn't be legendary, but still.

A major problem with Cyclone decks lately (Flamewaker shenanigans …

Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Reveal Season #3

I would mostly agree with the analysis here, with a couple of disagreements:

- As cute as it is, Valdris' hand size increase is not going to be a major factor in most games I feel. It's still a …

Hearthstone Battlegrounds Hero Guide

Guide largely agrees with my findings so far. Only parts I might disagree with:

- I don't agree with Deryl being top tier. He's strong, but slots in just below the top in my opinion. Patchwerk, on the other …

Legends of Runeterra - Expeditions Review

I played the hell out of expeditions (musta done at least 20 runs after the initial 3 purchased ones, so 26 runs at least). Have to say I don't think I ever found Anivia to be a problem - in …

Meme of the Week: Hearthstone Battlegrounds!

@Zelgadis (as I can't reply due to browser issues): Demons can work, but require a very specific setup. You need to hard roll early game to find 3 Soul Weavers plus some demons (which usually pop up incidentally). An upgraded …

Would this be of interest?

I'm contemplating writing an in-depth guide for the deck I've been picking up Legend with in Wild for the past few seasons (Mecha'thun Warlock). The decklist wouldn't be anything particularly new - the point would just be to give a …

There are better decks than Combo Priest ...

While there are OTHER competitive decks than Combo Priest, suggesting that Aggro Warrior is *better* than Combo Priest is, in my opinion, entirely incorrect.

Could Hearthstone be Looking to Reduce the Cost of the Classic Set?

I'm going to propose something potentially controversial here. As a background:

I don't think it's deniable that entering Hearthstone as a new player is extremely difficult. Quite aside from the knowledge or skill barriers, the quantity of cards required …

Dave Kosak on Tombs of Terror Randomness, Bartender Bob, Zephrys’s Lamp Easter Egg

Re: Bob, I strongly advise those who haven't to pick up the VIP card treasure when it's offered. I only picked it up out of curiosity in one of my runs, but subsequently was given the option to replace my …

Elise's Zoology Report

I can see a deck like this working, at least in premise. However, I'd recommend a few modifications.

In particular, you're running several cards designed to flood the board - Wispering Woods and Forest's Aid, in particular. Both cards …

Chapter 4 & 5 of Tombs of Terror Unlock Today!

@Lemushki - Agreed, the final Monster Hunt encounter was a really fun fight. Time will tell.

Right now I'm a little irritated at the Adventure, simply because I steamrolled wins in Normal with Reno and Finley and was well …

The Forgotten Wilds of Hearthstone - Watching the Wispy Mists

Heh, this article highlights a full three cards that I desperately wanted to be good.

- Floating Watcher - Looks so good, with the siren song of endless growth... which, in the vast majority of cases, winds up being …

Kibler's Sky Temple Mage

Ah the rare example of a quest deck which actually gains winrate percentage by mulliganing its quest away :P

A Weekend of Wild Decks

@Thonson - Cursed Blade is actually pretty good in the deck for competing at the higher end of Wild right now. About the only decks that can punish you for it are Even Shaman and maybe the occasional Odd Rogue; …

Meme of the Week - Fantastic Beasts & When to Play Them

Is there a reason so many of these decks tend to be so heavy on single cards rather than two-ofs when they're not running Highlander? I mean, I get that they're meme decks, but two-ofs are almost always optimal unless …

Meta Breaker - Attacking Combo Priest

Re: Wild decks - I don't think the Wild meta is all that unstable, at least at high ranks. I picked up Legend last season with Mecha'thun Warlock and am doing so again this season - it's actually surprisingly well …

Dimensional Ripper OTK!

In my opinion, drop the Commanding Shout (adds nothing, you can Whirlwind before ripping the combo if you need to), both Omega Assemblies and both Dragons Roars (this is a combo deck, not a control deck, you're not looking for …
