So if we're getting diamond benedictus, does that mean a diamond hero power as well? Wonder how distracting it can get having it hover around on your right.

Quest mechanics often fail because of the deck building restrictions it tends to bring, and the overall power level of the reward itself. Its a delicate balance to get right, as …

Thats a fair point. My argument is really whether getting 4 health off armor vendor is just better than something that only conditionally gives out health. You can fit both, but warlock decks are really struggling to make room, because I dont think they're shedding the soul frags anytime soon.

Of course, its hard to argue that you'll get …

Im a bit torn on this one vs [card]armor vendor[/card]. At least with the latter you'd get your 4 health guaranteed. This one needs to actually kill something to get anywhere.

It does have synergy with tamsin, but its funny how getting that mana discount from [card]runed mithril rod[/card] removes it.

I can see it being played, but …

First card of the reveal season, and then we go back to sleep until about 5 days later when the next one comes out. Nice.

Well, its pretty good simply because warlock does have problems with gaining health. [card]Drain soul[/card] is definitely the better card, but the real question is whether this card can replace [card]armor vendor[/card] as that …

Im surprised to see [card]devout dungeoneer[/card] in your list. Is that draw one random spell from your deck that comes with a token 2/3 really that useful? I would think [card]wandmaker[/card] would still be relevant even with the [card]renew[/card] nerf, and at very least on a good day it does curve into scorpid on 3.

Ironically priest cant actually beat other control decks. Out of the four control decks that are currently in the tiers 1-3 (priest obviously included here), only control shaman can be confidently beaten. The reason why they currently play that extra heavy load is - unsurprisingly - to be better against other priest, which is more or less everywhere in legend.

That MMR discussion is interesting. I would honestly like to know my MMR because I really like playing useless but niche decks but would rather not sacrifice the star advantage at the start of the month to climb back to diamond 5. So if my MMR dips to below that threshold, I'll simply play more seriously until it gets to …

There so much potential with this brawl. But eventually you'll get to an Omu and then its just a one way street from there.

Seems like the Noz quest doesn't give you an additional quest, it simply replaces the quest you'll be getting that day.

Here I was thinking that we'll be getting two quests in one day. Oh well.

Before we start crying to the stars about how yet another control deck have been gutted because a one mana card have been nerfed to 2 mana while a card that up until [card]blademaster samuro[/card] was printed was pretty much just an average card, let's have a short view of what this nerf actually means.

- Priest must now …

If Im not mistaken this was a trend started ever since the new monthly reward track was released. Typically the final month's rewards of the current expansion will feature packs from the upcoming expansion. The first tavern brawl of the new expansion will also feature packs from the new expansion, but I cant remember if this was done for barrens.

Its actually funny because the current meta, at least at the top anyway, is composed largely of priest, miracle rogue, doomhammer shaman, deathrattle and lifesteal dhunters, token druid, spell mage and control warrior. The fact of the matter is only shaman has any claim to being the most relevant aggro deck today, and even then in reality its really a …

Hope you're right. I went into the link and saw the 'full' schedule and looks to me like its two days.

If you're referring to the pics as individual cards, I think its fair to say that there's no guarantees that its a one-card deal per pic. There have been times where we're treated to 6 cards at once, …

I do sympathize, its sort of like THAT month during the year at work when circumstances forces everyone to be on 15 hour days without overtime pay.

But selfishly I really prefer a longer reveal schedule, then there's more time to think about the cards and its place in the upcoming meta.

Am I right in seeing that the reveals are all done in two days?

Wow, I mean, we've gone from a week long full of reveals to cramming as many as 150 cards in two days. Hopefully this is only a prelude, so the reveal schedule is actually alot longer than what we're seeing.

Scorpid is good not merely because its a discover option, but also because it forces a trade in nearly every circumstances and is nearly impossible to ignore. I mean, dropping scorpid has literally little to no downside unless you're dying on board.

As I mentioned, Im not exactly happy if it does get nerfed, but if it did I …

Pretty sure it'll be equally broken because it more or less thins down the pool each time so double [card]soul mirror[/card] is a near guaranteed in every game.

Dhunters, specifically deathrattles are good. Playing it in diamond 5 right now and depending on the build you're running, its only true weakness is its somewhat slower early game and losing your inquisitor to a mutanus.

Don't know why people are still complaining about hunter when its barely beating anything at higher levels right now.

The probable targets for a nerf will likely be either [card]apotheosis[/card], [card]renew[/card] or [card]venomous scorpid[/card]. Renew would probably get bumped 1 mana up to remove it from wandmaker's pool, apotheosis at 4 might prevent the usual reno scenario a little later, and while Im not exactly very happy to see scorpid nerfed this card is a near guaranteed addition into …

Pretty sure this is one of those questions that are screened out not because its irrelevant, but because it gets asked so many times it deserves to be number 1 on a hypothetical FAQ board.

Besides which, hearthstone still sits comfortably at the top as a digital tcg, with only LoR as viable competition, and even then Im fairly …
