Do hope these prediction are right. Always love me some dragons and dragon mage was so much fun back in DoD. The Lady Prestor and Kazakus storyline should be concluded in the mini-set and do hope we get another Onyxia legendary.
Oh btw, prediction for mini-set launch is 10th of Feb. I know I'm right 😁
I'd really like to know if Dean would answer this question in one of his Q&As: Please can you explain how the QA process works for patches and how many QA guys in each team/mode?
My assumption is they only test the "new stuff" added to the game, for eg: the buddies, Dek'thar/Vanndar in duels etc. I'm sure there's also some miscellaneous stuff they test as well.
This testing approach isn't sustainable though and I'd really love to know if automated regression testing is possible in the HS client. Not too clued up on Unity but I'm sure test automation is possible in their framework (as it's becoming the norm for many tech stacks). Regression testing goes a long way to check every single feature in the client, every patch and would help reduce these bugs before players encounter them. Most of these bugs are functional as they appear across all platforms, which means testing on desktop should be enough to find them. Ofc, a sanity test on devices should be done too.
I know this from experience where my software company treats live bugs as major issues. To me, sounds like Blizzard isn't really bothered about them.
Started playing this game yesterday and greatly appreciated the tutorial coz my memory of the yugioh rules were pretty rusty 😅 Vaguely remember playing the RL TCG in school and watching the anime. So far I'm pleasantly enjoying the experience and wow, when I went to the collection manager, I had no idea there were like over 9000 cards 😜 Guess this game is 23 years old after all
I'm pretty happy with these nerfs overall, nothing really stands out except Sorcerer's Apprentice coz it'll also indirectly fix the animation exploit without Blizzard addressing it directly.
I'd probably end up DE all cards, especially Raid the Docks. It'll probably still be playable, but so over playing that deck now.
I'm assuming, from the way the article mentions NA region only, that EU and the other regions were not affected? Haven't received any dust notifications when I login
I'd really like to know at what point it stops becoming reasonable/good value. For eg: lets say you opened 10 UiS packs and got 50% of the Deadmines cards and 2 legendries. Is it still worth buying then?
Online GIF site GIPHY teamed up with Jif peanut butter to have some fun with the debate. The two companies unveiled a limited-edition jar of peanut butter in Jif’s trademark packaging, but labeled “Gif”. While some may think the packaging implies that GIF and Jif rhyme, according to the two companies—and a series of accompanying GIFs on GIPHY—the opposite is true.
“At Giphy, we know there’s only one ‘Jif’ and it’s peanut butter,” Alex Chung, founder and CEO of Giphy said in a press release about the campaign. “If you’re a soft G, please visit Jif.com. If you’re a hard G, thank you, we know you’re right.” That’s right: according to Giphy, GIF is pronounced with a hard G, unlike Jif the peanut butter.
Most difficult might have been whether to make Demon Hunter temporary or permanent.
Wow, I didn't even know this was a decision they'd consider. I understand the additional class means less neutral cards printed and in essence the game got slightly more expensive with 2 additional class legendries but I'm glad they kept DH, or we wouldn't have all those different Kurtrus'
It's very likely a small percentage of the current core set will remain in the 2022 core set. I'm thinking the 5 dragon aspects will be among them as they seem relatively balanced
Excelling timing on this meta update 👍
Been waiting for some good Drek'thar and Vanndar decks to try out

Hunter was the most played class during Rastakhan's Rumble, probably due to Master's Call and the new spell only archetype that was introduced.
Now this is some true nostalgia!
BRM: Everyone! Get in here!
TGT: Who am I? None of your business
GvG: Dr. 7
Did you notice the art of Unstable Magic is a polymorphed Reno, can't stop laughing at that 🤣
Just something to note about the card back Dancing Lion. It was the winner of an art competition last year: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/2611-winner-of-the-hearthstone-china-card-back-competition-the-winners-card-back-is-being-added-to-the-game
Definitely a chunky update to 4 games modes. I'm sure this will keep us busy till the mini-set launch

It's the opposite to Renounce Darkness where Paladin has all shadow spells instead of holy spells... oh wait that's Priest 😜😅

Is that the end of it? Probably not.
I'll take my leave now...
Most definitely, now I don't feel the need to complete the honor questline coz there's no real point in getting a golden Vanndar now
