Now that the Core set has been revealed, this might be a replacement [card]Circle of Healing[/card] used in combination with [card]Crimson Clergy[/card].

How is Mage Going to Perform in Hearthstone's Year of the Gryphon? Core Set Review

I strongly doubt burn/OTK will be supported, based on what's been removed from the Core set: charge, cheap damaging spells that can hit heroes, big temporary attack buffs, etc. Everything points to a renewed focus on the fundamentals: getting the …

This Week's Hearthstone Balance Patch Postponed Until Forged in the Barrens Release in 20.0

Not really. The last few reveal periods lasted 2-3 weeks. We should be getting something this week, at the beginning of next week at the latest.

All 51 Returning Cards That Received Buffs and Changes in Hearthstone's New Core Set

I wouldn't disenchant any card with a unique effect (Doomsayer, Knife Thrower, Sea Giant, Wild Pyromancer, etc.) if you think you'll play one of these modes at any point in the future:

- Adventures

- Classic

- …

All 51 Returning Cards That Received Buffs and Changes in Hearthstone's New Core Set

There's also a neutral minion that buffs a minion's health whenever a holy spell is cast. I could easily imagine variations on Mana Wyrm, Violet Teacher and Wild Pyromancer that only trigger with certain spell schools. Overall, this addition opens …

Our Initial Thoughts on The Three New Dragon Aspects Coming to Hearthstone's Core Set in Year of the Gryphon

I really like the Malygos rework; it seems it will fit nicely with classes that traditionally liked its original version (druid mostly), while also being attractive to control decks that need card draw or tutoring, like priest and mage.

Hearthstone's First Expansion of 2021 Will Have a 100 Level Rewards Track Instead of 50 (Battle Pass)

Mini expansion should be this month.

 

Next set and rotation is usually in early April, but they've moved up the last few sets by a week or two, so it might be in late March.

The Story of Jaina Proudmoore: The Missing Pages of Book of Heroes

Wow, this is really top-notch work -- even including video cutscenes from the relevant part of the story!

Blizzard is Giving Away Darkmoon Faire Bundles and Battle.net Balance on Twitter to Promote the Hearthstone World Championship

I like to give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt (remember: the developers and the decision-makers are two completely different teams!), but geolocking your rewards during your WORLD championship is really stupid.

I know they're doing this because they …

Give C'Thanks Bundle Now Live in the Hearthstone Shop - 2 Random Darkmoon Faire Legendaries + 20 Scholomance Packs

I just want to thank you for laying out your argument in a reasoned manner. Almost everyone is reacting with sarcasm at best, and inflammatory rhetoric at worst, and that doesn't help anyone.

Give C'Thanks Bundle Now Live in the Hearthstone Shop - 2 Random Darkmoon Faire Legendaries + 20 Scholomance Packs

I think this is a very good deal compared to the standard pricing structure in Hearthstone. Normally, you would be getting 15 packs for that price. So you get 5 extra packs AND two guaranteed legendaries you don't have with …

Blizzard Screwed Up With the Rewards Track - A Letter to Hearthstone

Yup, found out today that you can no longer complete quests or achievements in Brawl or Casual. Your only options are Standard ladder, Wild ladder, or a paid mode (Arena and heroic Duels).

I'm assuming the goal is to …

Celestalon Explains Why Elusive Isn't a Keyword Yet in Hearthstone and the Logic Behind Keyword Choice
Quote From DoubleSummon

Idk why they don't keyword as much as possible, in computer science there's a principle that everything you do a lot needs to be a function/method/constant.

Yes, but remember that this is …

New Neutral Minion - Waste Warden

Besides demon hunter, nearly all classes get a demon in this expansion (for example, all the "Imprisoned" minions are demons), so it wouldn't surprise me if people included 1 copy in most decks, at least initially.

The problem is …

Traversing Azeroth - The History of the Mysterious Ethereals

That was a very interesting deep dive on the ethereals! I mostly played during Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King, and they've been my favourite non-player race in World of Warcraft ever since. Thanks for writing this!

Hearthstone Masters in 2020 - More Events, New Grandmasters Structure, Crowdfunding Returns

I'm surprised there is no Grandmasters before the next expansion -- having one GM season per expansion made a lot of sense to me. Other than that, I really like the changes announced.

Hearthstone Hypothesis - Why is Elusive Not a Keyword?

Just a little bit of backstory explanation that links the vast majority of these cards across games: the elusive/shroud/hexproof is not a reference to their mode of movement, but to the fact that they were inspired by creatures who had

Uldum Warlock Card Reveal - Plague of Flames

This will certainly help aggressive warlocks to compete with cyclone mage -- clear the board for cheap, which allows you to follow up with a few minions on the same turn, thereby regaining tempo. Very nice.

Uldum Final Reveal Stream w/ Brian Kibler, Peter Whalen, & Chris Sierra - July 31

I'm a bit sad that they're going back to Kibler again (this is what, his 4th time in the hot seat?) -- I would've liked having Cora back. We haven't seen her since the Heist Inn-vitational, and I thought she …
