Two New Anime-Inspired Skin Bundles Have Arrived to Hearthstone's Shop

I also got a new legendary quest with this update: "Intro the Fray" -- Play 1 game of Battlegrounds (2-week deadline).

Does this chain into additional quests?

A Closer Look at Hearthstone's New In-Game Reporting Feature - Developer Insights and Other Details

I'm hoping this cleans up all the bots in Classic. You can count on encountering one or two dozens of bots during the course of a month, especially in the latter half. They're always playing aggro decks (zoolock mainly, sometimes …

Runestones Have Arrived to Hearthstone's In-Game Shop Alongside New Pack Bundles and Magical Cosmetics

You can tell that people at Blizzard have been regretting their decision to make Battlegrounds free-to-play for a while now. They overcompensated wildly with Mercenaries, and outside of 2 or 3 bundles (such as the Welcome Bundle), all of their …

[Updated] Hearthstone’s Patch 24.2 Is Now Live - Huge Battlegrounds Revamp, Runestones as New Currency, In-game Reporting, Expanded Leaderboards, & More

I can confirm a similar setup for the Canadian store: the 500-stone package is the most affordable value. Either you're saving 1 whole cent (sarcastic wow!) on the 2000- and the 8000-stone packages, or you're losing up to 50 cents …

Hearthstone Grandmasters: Last Call Concludes With Playoffs This Weekend - Here's What You Need to Know

Note that there are only 4 matches today and tomorrow, and only 3 matches for the finals on Sunday. However, all the matches are Conquest best-of-7.

Basically, this means the broadcasts are shorter than usual (e.g. 5.5 hours today), …

Hearthstone Grandmasters: Last Call Continues With Week 3 - Here's What You Need to Know

With Sottle increasing his involvement on the production side and Jia leaving, there's certainly a big gap to fill in terms of "strategic analysts" for casters.

Out of the guest casters they've used in recent months (Dragonrider, hunterace, Edelweiss, …

Hearthstone Grandmasters: Last Call Continues With Week 3 - Here's What You Need to Know

Going from the past 9 months, I would say I usually get the packs the same day, sometimes right away, like you. There were one of two exceptions when I got the packs the next day, or even on Monday.

A Less Friendly Game of Chess

A good idea, but I prefer a little bit more consistency:

---------------------

Prestor Chess
Class: Druid

(0) Innervate
(2) Capture Coldtooth Mine
(2) Jerry Rig Carpenter
(3) Wild Growth
(4) Overgrowth
(6) Lady Prestor

Captain Blackheart's Treasure

The "Supplemental Mode" team has really been dropping the ball lately. Not only are some recent adventures (Book of Heroes and Book of Mercenaries) now impossible to complete because the programmed draws fail to account for nerfed cards, but we …

Hearthstone Grandmasters: Last Call Begins! Earn a Total of Eight Free Card Packs by Watching

Hearthstone Designers Gallon and Songbird Share Insights on Huntsman Altimor - Callbacks, Tavish & More

I'd be OK with reskinning the [card]Animal Companion[/card]s if it was a different class. However, re-using the effect in hunter, especially for such iconic minions, seems quite lazy. Either use the standard companions (not ideal, since they have no …

Kael'thas Sinstrider is a New Legendary Card Revealed by LoveStorm for Murder at Castle Nathria

I completely agree -- restricting this to minions is a huge limitation, because they are inherently less powerful than spells simply due to the fact that they can be used over multiple rounds.

The most obvious class for new …

Artificer Xy'mox is a New Legendary Demon Hunter Card Revealed by Feno for Castle Nathria

I'm much less enthusiastic about the Relics package, because the floor is very low -- you're basically paying 1 extra mana over what you would expect for the base effect to slightly improve further cards. And with only 7 cards …

Hearthstone's Battlegrounds Lobby Legends - Fire Festival Takes Place This Weekend! Survival Guide

Today's Castle Nathria Card Reveal is Sinstone Graveyard, a New Rogue Location Card (Updated)
Quote From dapperdog

Before anything start panicking about edwin 2.0, this is [card]biteweed[/card], a card that saw no play.

This is not like [card]Biteweed[/card] at all, and certainly the best location we've seen so far:

New Druid Location - Hedge Maze

I'm also surprised that this focuses on deathrattles in druid, as it's never been part of that class's identity. In fact, they've been about the exact opposite: vitality and living creatures (beasts and treants, in particular). I know we're going …

Hearthstone Rolls Out Patch 23.6.1 - Power Level of Arena Drafts Adjusted, Battlegrounds Armor & Minion Updates, Duels Unlocks, Various Hotfixes

I agree, this small change doesn't solve the fundamental problems with this encounter:

  • Their duplication ability is too fast for most teams. At the abolute best, you'll be able to take one out of the six Dopplegangsters.
