The rule of thumb is any of the following is considered a "nerf", and therefore eligible for a full dust refund:
- a cost increase
- a stats decrease
- an effect decrease
Anything else is considered a "buff", and is not eligible for a refund.
As someone who's never played any of the Warcraft games, and only a little bit of World of Warcraft, I absolutely adored the Book of Heroes. It was a great way to discover the backstory for all the main Hearthstone protagonists!
It would be great if they looked at the alternate hero skins like Nemsy and Mecha-Jaraxxus once the …
Just to give a bit more info, with the introduction of the Core set, Blizzard added two pack types in the Shop:
- Standard packs (red cover) which appear last in the section entitled "Standard Packs and Cards".
- Wild packs (red cover with vines) which appear first in the section entitled "Other Packs". This section is just …
First, thanks to Fluxflashor for the reminder about the lack of duplicate protection for golden cards!
I only got the standard bundle, and it was definitely worth it in my case: I went from 16 missing cards to 9 for United in Stormwind, including 4 legendaries (2 from the promo and 2 in packs).
I know Specialist isn't particularly well-liked by the audience, but I also know a lot of the GM players were fine with it in small doses (remember that Blizzard gets their input before choosing the structure of the season), so I'm a little bit surprised it was removed completely for this season.
Also, with two players named on a …
Does that also hold for heroic Duels?
All the theorycraft streamers I watched came to the same conclusion: this deck is weak to aggro, but excellent against any other deck. For that reason, I expect to see it A LOT in tournaments where you can weed out your bad matchups. Season 2 of 2021 Grandmasters is in only 10 days -- I assume we'll see a fairly …
All the "For the rest of the game" effects are exactly that, so they've been present for a few years (maybe even going back to the very beginning if you consider original Jaraxxus). They were first used in a broad way in One Night in Karazhan (they were 2-3 encounters which had portals on one or both sides), and came …
This is my submission for the giveaway, and also the deck I'm most excited to try out!

Kotaku today posted an in-depth investigation about the goings-on related to the "Cosby Suite", which was a hotel room used by Blizzard employees during BlizzCon 2013.
Up to now, no one on the Hearthstone team had been mentioned in the allegations. This is no longer the case:

Not really. It would work like Duels or Arena where you have an intermittent step after selecting your class that would show your deck list.
As I explained in my preamble, I had a limited time to watch the streams, and I didn't see enough games played with the missing classes to form an opinion.
Side note: Regis Killbin has just released this video where he ranks the various questlines based on his own experience during the theorycraft streams.
One of the best analyses I've seen on this site, and sorely needed since we had a limited amount of time to view the whole set.
To go a little bit further following your final paragraph, here are a few of my impressions after watching the theorycrafting streams yesterday (overall, I watched four live over 3 hours yesterday, and …
This is my favourite kind of Brawl, because it's perfect to complete "play X class" quests, and even some other specific ones (Beasts? Choose hunter or druid. Murlocs? Choose paladin or shaman).
One thing that would be nice would be to show you your whole deck before you start, so that you could see any synergies that you should …
Looks like the theorycrafting streams will act as the final reveal for this expansion. These will occur on the contracted streamers' (the usual crew of high-profile HS players like Regis Killbin, Alliestrasza, Thijs, Brian Kibler, etc.) individual Twitch channel at 9 a.m. Pacific today.
Their reasoning is the same as Brian Kibler, Alliestrasza, Lieutenant Eddy and TrumpSC: Card reveal videos and discussions could be seen as an attempt at distracting the public away from the lawsuit and its allegations. These people would prefer it gets all the attention it can. The Hearthstone team feels the same way, which is why they cancelled their own …
I honestly don't see a place for this card. Realistically, this will come down on turn 4 or 5, and if you're lucky, it'll connect once with your opponent before being removed.
Overall, very weak for a legendary.
I think you hit the nail on the head: this doesn't fit into existing decks. If it was part of the Nature school, it would at least be chosen once in a while with Nature Studies (and it would synergize with Guff, which would be nice thematically since it is his mount!).
I suspect this was created as …
I thought the Uldum approach to quests was ideal: they were achievable within a reasonable time frame, and triggered automatically once you'd fulfilled their condition.
These new quests seem like a step back, in that I expect that over 90% of the games, you won't have time to complete them. In particular, I'm highly dubious of the mage questline …
I agree on all your points! I haven't had time to play a lot this week, so I'm still on the "Play 10 Shaman games" step of the Fire Festival questline. What's even better is that the Nozdormu quest works in Wild, so it's a perfect fit for aggressive Baku decks like paladin and demon hunter. Took me about 15 …
