Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Stormwind Nerfs, Buffs, Bans, and Redesign Patch Arriving Tuesday

Im actually curious as to how a mage deck with practically no spells manages to beat the quest decks. Seems to me the only thing its beating is aggro decks and maybe secret pally, because if mage is forced to …

Standard and Wild Balance Updates Arrive on Tuesday - Mindrender Illucia No Longer Swaps Decks or Cards, The Demon Seed Banned in Wild

Its a bit like ungoro quest rogue. Its not that its win rate is big, its just that its play rate is high, it basically destroys tempo decks, and like quest rogue its very consistent at what it does. Unlike …

Blizzard Answers Frequently Asked Mercenaries Questions, Confirms 153 Mercenary Packs Available Through Campfire Tasks at Launch

The one detail here is that you can earn xp from playing mercs, so I guess this is where every programmer will start sticking their bots in for farming. Because its infinitely easier to bot a pve than a pvp, …

Our Thoughts on Hearthstone's Stormwind Nerfs, Buffs, Bans, and Redesign Patch Arriving Tuesday

Im worried that by hitting the other quests, it inadvertently buffed quest mage, which is stil seeing lots of play despite its win rate. Buff up that win rate and we'll be back to week one of stormwind where every …

Hearthstone Duels Gets an Update This Week - Oppressive Treasures Being Moved to "Ultra Rare" Pool

Have to agree that it'll be better to just remove broken treasures rather than just make it harder to get. Because we'd all know without the right treasures/passives you'd just get destroyed in the top tier of duels, and what …

When Does the United in Stormwind Mini-Set "Deadmines" Arrive? Early November 2021 is Most Likely

Not sure if pushing back on the midset is a good idea, because that means the midset has an effective 1 month range to do anything useful before it gets completely taken over by the next expansion, unless the idea …

Standard and Wild Balance Updates Arrive on Tuesday - Mindrender Illucia No Longer Swaps Decks or Cards, The Demon Seed Banned in Wild

I think team5 made the right decision because the [card]mindrender illucia[/card] design has always been a problem ever since its been printed. Some strats just straight up cant exist because of it, like how it basically solo most rogue decks.

Standard and Wild Balance Updates Arrive on Tuesday - Mindrender Illucia No Longer Swaps Decks or Cards, The Demon Seed Banned in Wild

Im talking about standard obviously. But what they need is early game tempo against aggro decks. [card]bloodsail deckhand[/card] is fine as a 2/2 but more is needed, and I'd trade a 2/2 bloodsail on 1 for a 2/3 harbor scamp …

Standard and Wild Balance Updates Arrive on Tuesday - Mindrender Illucia No Longer Swaps Decks or Cards, The Demon Seed Banned in Wild

Here's my take:

Good nerfs for obvious reasons: [card]Irebound brute[/card], [card]the demon seed[/card], [card]runed mithril rod[/card], [card]mindrender illucia[/card]. More baffling is the shaman nerfs.

- Irebound brute needed a nerf, but this one is so small Im not …

Mythgard's Bittersweet 1st Birthday - Why It Wasn't a Success and 6 Things It Did Really Well

That's mostly why its never the product, but marketing that truly sells. Hence why company marketing and advert budgets often go way above what is used to make the products in the first place.

Mythgard is an unfortunate case …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #30 - Hearthstone Quest Cards, Free Battlegrounds Cosmetics, New Legend Card Back

If there were separate lines for Q&A it wouldn't be a problem. I can't prove it, but there's likely a horde of questions about other stuff, like hints of the balancing due in Tuesday, or overrated and underrated decks in …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #30 - Hearthstone Quest Cards, Free Battlegrounds Cosmetics, New Legend Card Back

I actually forgotten to comment on this myself, but for the large part Im with you for a rotating wild mode. Just as an alternative to standard (which as we have seen can get old really fast) and because there's …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #30 - Hearthstone Quest Cards, Free Battlegrounds Cosmetics, New Legend Card Back

Handlock can easily win without ever completing the quest, and frequently do. The quest can be said to only be truly useful in the mirror, and against anything that can take down the giants easily, which in this meta is …

Hearthstone's Fairy Tale Hero Skin Bundle Preview - 5 New Hero Skins Coming

I really like the Jaina skin, but its likely not going to be individually purchasable. Which is a shame, because Id probably spend some cash on one skin as opposed to none for all.

For some reason having that …

Does flesh giant not get discounted when you damage yourself while having armor? Im not sure, but I dont recall this being a thing, either by personal experience or through discussions in forums.

You dont get a stormwind quest for free this time. Ever since the tavern pass, all we get is a predetermined legendary for free ([card]Mankrik[/card] in barrens, [card]lady prestor[/card] in stormwind). I didnt get a single quest from my 80 …

A New Card Back is Coming to Hearthstone, But "Moonlight Might" is Only Available in South Korea

We have to look at the conditions to gaining it first. Because if its a specific code gained from purchasing something, whats stopping anyone from just buying the item via net? And if its region specific, this can be overcome …
