A Less Friendly Game of Chess

If you read downthread, you'll see that other people had the same idea regarding [card]Drakkari Enchanter [/card] during previous editions, and it didn't work back then either.

A Less Friendly Game of Chess

A few more details:

  • The class you select is ignored for quests and any other effects that refer to class (one opponent used [card]Guidance[/card] to get a [card]Greater Healing Potion[/card] and [card]Feral Spirit[/card]s)
  • If you go second …

A Less Friendly Game of Chess

There might be a bug in this edition (February 2022). Opponent conceded on turn 7 and I got my pack, but my daily and weekly quests weren't credited (play mage; win 5 arenas/battlegrounds/brawls)!

The Fury of Kael'Thas

The old suggested decks are no longer applicable, because most of the cards have rotated out. Here's a version for the current Brawl (February 2022) -- Guardian Animals Druid:

Full Patch Notes for Hearthstone's 22.2.0 Update Coming on January 25

I'll comment on the Mercenaries section, since that's the mode I play most often nowadays:

- I'm pleasantly surprised that they're adding content mid-expansion. After the launch, I really expected to only see new mercenaries and new zones when …

Hearthstone's Next Major Patch Brings New Mercenaries, Zones, Bounties, and More to the Tavern on January 25

I'm generally excited by all this new content for Mercenaries; I didn't expect it would get updates so frequently!

The only concern I have is with Training Grounds -- it's really only relevant to brand new players, and even …

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Upcoming Nerfs and Buffs, Including Celestial Alignment and Magister Dawngrasp

Also, don't be surprised if [card]Bloodsail Deckhand[/card] doesn't show up in your search; as a card from the Core set, you got it for free, and is therefore ineligible for a refund.

Blizzard Unveils Hearthstone Esports Plans for 2022 - 3 Million Dollars, More Ladder Focus, Grandmasters Cancelled

We don't know yet how Grandmasters will be replaced. They're simply tweaking it a little for its final year in 2022 -- which is why it looks similar to its current form --, and I assume a brand new system …

Blizzard Unveils Hearthstone Esports Plans for 2022 - 3 Million Dollars, More Ladder Focus, Grandmasters Cancelled

I just realized something:

[quote from="Author"]Season 1, running this February and March, will consist of all 48 Grandmasters competing in a truncated four-week season.[/quote]

That means that it will occur before rotation, which is unprecedented. Up to now, …

Blizzard Unveils Hearthstone Esports Plans for 2022 - 3 Million Dollars, More Ladder Focus, Grandmasters Cancelled

My dream would be integrating the various Hearthstone modes into top Standard tournaments. Not all six of them simultaneously, of course -- that would just be confusing --, but have two or three of them throughout the year, including the …

Cloneball!

Your best strategy is to mulligan for multiple copies of the same minion, hopefully in the 4-7 mana range. Basically, you want to get on the board early with chunky minions and overwhelm your opponent.

In my opinion, this …

Corrupted Ancient Heroic

Note: the stats mentioned are for normal mode. On heroic, the Corrupted Ancient is now a 20/400 which spawns a 6/6 treant when damaged, improving by +2/+2 every subsequent instance of damage.

It has three abilities:

  • Deal …

Send in the Murlocs!

This is basically an aggro matchup. Whoever goes first has a huge advantage, since removal -- especially mass removal -- is scarce. You also have many more murlocs with impactful effects nowadays (rush, battlecry for ping 1 or 2, etc.), …

Hearthstone's Shop Gets New Deals Focusing on Battlegrounds & Mercenaries Content

Because of the way Mercenaries packs work (this video by Old Guardian is a good summary), once you have a nearly complete collection, you're better off holding on to extra packs until new mercenaries are offered, because you'll then have …

The obvious broken choice is rogue with [card]Pogo-Hopper[/card] and some card draw ([card]Novice Engineer[/card] or [card]Shiv[/card]).

Dreads and Redbeard Revealed 11 New Cards for Hearthstone's Fractured in Alterac Valley Expansion - See Them All Here!

I thought the interaction between the 2 hosts, and between the hosts and the chat members, added a lot. For example, when Redbeard erroneously mentioned the possibility of getting Cairne off [card]Reconnaissance[/card], dreads and chat were quickly able to correct …

Wronchi Reveals Three New Cards for Fractured in Alterac Valley

[quote from="Author"]Captain Galvangar will be a challenging prospect, because 15 armor by turn 6 isn't easy to do for most tempo decks, which is probably where this card slots in the most. Probably in control quest warrior if anything …

Hearthstone's Shop Introduces 2 New Edwin Bundles Focused on Standard, Mercenaries, and Battlegrounds

To coincide with these new bundles focused on Edwin, I also got the following offers in the Mercenaries shop (not the main shop) to replace the previous ones. I indicated the rarity in brackets, as I assume the specific mercenary …
