Blizzard Devs Confirm Next Year Will See More Board-based Gameplay, More Variety in Standard Hearthstone

Wanna make it more board based? All you need to do is to not print so many mana reduction stuff like [card]siphon mana[/card], don't print infinite damage, bring back [card]loatheb[/card] to standard, and perhaps even [card]unseen saboteur[/card] and [card]dirty rat[/card]

Blizzard Devs Confirm Next Year Will See More Board-based Gameplay, More Variety in Standard Hearthstone

I still dont understand why so many people get worked up so much about this fatigue issue with questlock, as though as there's some kind of unwritten rule on how an opponent should be beaten. What difference does it make …

Achievement Hunting: Onyxia's Lair edition (fuck this one btw, I hate it)

Usually I get myself working only on achievements that gives out 500xp and anything else I can get along the way, because the sheer dedication required to actually complete it all is beyond me.

Some of these are just …

The Second Hearthstone Content Update of 2022 Is Live With Patch 22.4 - Onyxia's Lair, All Game Mode Additions, & Various Improvements

My response and comment. Its related to the storyline. Spoilers at your discretion.

[spoiler]

I'll be honest. It was so ham fisted the way they handled tamsin that the brukan storyline feels emotionally dead to me. It also …

All Known Issues and Fixes for Hearthstone Patch 22.4 - Bugged Quests and Achievements, Game Crashes, Arena Drafts, Mercenaries Ratings Cap, & More

As usual. Big patch. Big bugs. But blizz would be wise to quickly fix the quests and honor issues at least. If there's nothing more likely to get pitchforks up, is seeing the already expensive game get less generous.

A Less Friendly Game of Chess

At this point Im having to come to OoC just to see what the tavern brawl is this week.

Rogue -> [card]plaguebringer[/card] + shadowstep + draw options -> easy win

All of Onyxia's Lair New Cards Are Revealed - See All 35 New Cards in Our Dedicated Gallery

Probably ran out of neutral legendary slots. There's usually two neutrals and two class legendaries. I guess they weigh up the pro and cons and decided that both kazakusan and onyxia needed to be neutrals, and leeroy being a class …

All of Onyxia's Lair New Cards Are Revealed - See All 35 New Cards in Our Dedicated Gallery

Most interesting cards of this set to me;

[card]kazakusan[/card], [card]curse of agony[/card], [card]bracing cold[/card], [card]dragonbane shot[/card], [card]mi'da, pure light[/card], [card]razorglaive sentinel[/card], [card]gear grubber[/card]

To be honest, this midset looks weaker and less interesting than the last 3. Maybe …

Meta evolution

Probably plenty of people trying out priest and druid to make [card]kazakusan[/card] work.

I can see ramp druid doing better from this midset, maybe a comeback from quest hunter and control priest as well.

Haleh, Matron Protectorate is a New Legendary Mage Card Revealed by Jia for Onyxia's Lair

I can see lots of people are disappointed by the artwork, but I think its just another case of the pic being too large to fit the card. Pretty sure the full version will redeem it somewhat. I still get …

Blizzard Reveals Raid Boss Onyxia - New Legendary Hearthstone Card for Onyxia's Lair

Perhaps, maybe in a big dragon deck. And assuming that the meta switches to something close to barrens meta.

Its just that 10 mana is quite a lot. There's not many reasons why someone would put this over new …

New Neutral Minion - Raid Boss Onyxia

Its a card for ramp druid, because in nearly everywhere else, I'd much rather just play [card]alexstrasza the life-binder[/card], which comes a turn earlier. 2 turns, if we're counting damage done to face. Immunity is only nice in so far …

Blizzard Reveals Raid Boss Onyxia - New Legendary Hearthstone Card for Onyxia's Lair

The card is fine. Strong, reliable at what it does. Unfortunately, only druids will play it.

The problem is the mana cost, and the fact that it doesn't just win the game for you. Basically its currently a weaker …

New Mage Minion - Haleh, Matron Protectorate

Its a card you play because you want to play this, not because its inherently good on its own. [card]Mozaki, master duelist[/card] does the job a 100 times better and with [card]cram session[/card], it can even reload out of a …

Haleh, Matron Protectorate is a New Legendary Mage Card Revealed by Jia for Onyxia's Lair

Well, that's our payoff for [card]drakefire amulet[/card]. Just discount that amulet, summon two of these and play a bunch of 0 mana spells and completely turn the tide.

Or you can just setup everything the same way and win …

New Neutral Minion - Gear Grubber

Its honestly not that bad to me. Basically if you're playing a slower non-curve deck then this is practically a 4/5 taunt on the cheap. Hell, skip your first turn and your 3rd becomes 1 step stronger.

Of course, …

New Rogue Spell - Tooth of Nefarian

Its not going to make it currently, but there's always a chance this card gets better in post rotation, because this card isn't really too bad as long as you can honor kill something and 3 health isn't exactly rare …

New Priest Spell - Horn of Wrathion

Honestly, its surpassed by [card]insight[/card], whether its to tutor out [card]kazakusan[/card] or other minions.

But in a dedicated dragon deck its fine. Draw a card with a 4 damage removal is strong, though not game ending. And then there's …

New Paladin Spell - Ring of Courage

The fact is that this card can potentially buff something by 8 shouldn't be underestimated. Samuro for example can absolutely wipe the floor clean with naught but two mana extra.

There is however plenty of competition. [card]Noble mount[/card] being …

New Mage Spell - Drakefire Amulet

What else can I say, it sucks.

10 is a lot of mana to ask, and not only can this card potentially whiff, in what world are we living in where discovering two dragons can end games? For 10 …
