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 …

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 …

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".

…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …
