It actually just occurred to me that if they remove that HoF as we know it, do we still get the dust back? Seems like a trivial thing to ask, but when Alec specifically mentioned "This means there is no additional benefit to crafting or hoarding extra Edwins today." it might indicate that the dust refunding might also be gone. …

Really depends on how desperate you are for dust. If not, then there's essentially no difference to not dusting. The only main benefit here is you get to craft a golden edwin for a discount, assuming you already have the regular, that's probably about it.

Its likely something close to card retirement, evergreen rotation, or an expansion of the basic set and complete removal of classic altogether.

Or perhaps its something scummy. They expand the expansion card pool and remove away classic. In that case standard will be more approachable to new players while also making it more expensive. Obviously this is perhaps the …

That Edwin nerf and later HoF is only to be expected. It remains the only aggressive tempo card that have survived all 6 years of hearthstone through every iteration of rogues, with the only exception of quest rogue. Hell, it basically crowned two world champions on its own. I don't think there's any other card in hearthstone history that has …

Well, [card]Edwin vancleef[/card] 's finally getting the nerf hammer and shaman's slap in the wrist nerf will at least see its play go down ever slightly. Let's have a look.

That Edwin one mana nerf is huge, but not huge enough for the card to die. Considering that most decks still run [card]questing adventurer[/card] is testament that a late …

  1. Then move [card]Kalecgos[/card] from RoS to Classic.
    1. He's an appropriate character at a sensible power level for Classic.

Is he though? Its a must kill card with 12 health, is impactful the same turn you …

Priest may have a billion answers to boards, but wild barely cares anyway since there's just so many ways of reloading or killing players without boards. When raza was nerfed, hardly anyone had problems with the class, except the usual big priest issues, which can be countered, and it was never going to beat mage in the first place.

I've never really done this, but I can understand why People do that. It can be a way of venting out your frustrattion against a certain deck.

And I don't think that this has necessarily something to do with how those decks perform on ladder. If I remember correctly, Big Priest had for the …

Otherwise, I can't see why anyone would do it. In most cases, even now, tier 1 decks probably only make up somewhere around 20 - 30% of meta. So if you, for example, put double [card]kobold stickyfinger[/card]s, [card]acidic swamp ooze[/card], and [card]frozen shadoweaver[/card] into your deck in anticipation of evolve …

Honestly, not really that bad a brawl.

Different, requires no cards of your own, and you're mostly in control of what's going on. Once a while I just like brawls like this, its at least better than an auto concede turn 2 because rng wasn't in your favor.

The last time I've seen people doing this on ladder was at the start of AoO when it was clear that dhunters were extremely broken and its cards were widely available to everyone. Play was around 70% of the meta then, I think

One more dash of optimism from me that this is that fabled limited wild mode. It would be nice timing too since the rotation would likely be a few weeks away from its announcement.

If its not it, then it will never be for the next 6 years.

If nothing changes then this can only be a positive to all players, since the rewards are now spaced out so we can expect to be receiving something every 1-2 days. I would expect the requirement per level will be halved since its basically from 50 to 100 levels.

Personally this isn't really going to change much for me, …

isnt the hero power more than enough to deal with the stuff he puts out?

So I'm finally done with the adventure, here's my opinion of it.

[spoiler]

There's plenty to like, but also dislike. This is probably the most frustrating of all the book of heroes so far, not least because this is also likely the most difficult, for me at least. Basically you can get your arse kicked convincingly as early …

@DestroyerR

Winslow is basically broken. In control, druid, or any combo deck, you can just get a free win out of nowhere simply by getting lucky, or setup in such a way that its virtually guaranteed to get, say a 0 mana Malygos. Makes it too advantageous playing second by having the coin in hand. There's no way …

Probably priest for me. I like it more than the 1000 win portrait, although default Anduin's already pretty good. I do play my fair share of priests, so its my first choice.

Rogue's good, but I kinda like Maiev as my rogue main anyway, and the default Valeera isn't really bad herself. Thrall's a good one too, but since …
