[card]Giant prize[/card] is properly balanced, though on the weaker side. Essentially, putting stuff into your deck and then hope to draw it to play this card is a bit too far in my books. I think its better if the cost is reduced according to the number of cards shuffled into your deck that didn't start there. …
I honestly don't get why so many players gets tilted over the [card]dread corsair[/card] issue when its obviously only a problem when they cheat mana and get the weapon online on turn 2-3. At turn 5, and with shaman's early game being largely nonexistent, in most cases many decks can deal with one random 5 drop, even 2 wouldn't exactly …
It'll probably be revealed somewhere within the next 2 weeks. Its called a mid expansion, so it can be reasonably expected to be released by end of this month latest.
You might want to justify some points instead of just dumping a list of common cards in ranked standard. What would the proposed nerf to [card]spirit jailer[/card] even do, for a example. Another example would be [card]bonechew brawler[/card]'s proposed nerf. To be 'in line with [card]pompous thespian[/card]' would suggest making it a 2/3 taunt for 2. Unfortunately, there's already a …
Quote From AngryShuckie Doom in the Tomb showed us Evolve is OP at 1 mana when cards like [card]Desert Hare[/card] exist (it is no coincidence Evolve Shaman was only strong back in the day thanks to [card]Dopplegangster[/card], which is basically just a bigger version for evolve purposes), but it took a perfect storm of synergies for it to …
Quote From h0lysatan - Evolve can only affect active minions, not sleeping.
- or Give evolve a 50/50 chance of success to a minion.
Evolve shenanigans must have killed your family and burned your house down. I can't see any other explanation for this proposed 'nerf'. Might as well just ask team5 to remove it …
Nerfs for Evolve Shaman
- [card]Boggspine knuckles[/card], attack down to 2 from 4
- [card]lightning bloom[/card] - refresh mana crystals instead of gain
The archetype still suffers from card draw and since its early game is so horrendous, nerfing the weapon's attack will go a long way in managing shaman until rotation, when most of …
Quote From Live4vrRdieTryn Not sure if you're thinking I meant adding the losing deck to the pool of active players... I meant just being able to play after with a losing deck versus other like-minded losers. Why not? Seems like a lost opportunity to me.
Additionally it would be awesome if 12 win decks could …
That defeats the purpose of the arena draft, where you can never really face the same deck twice.
Casuals mode for arena, on the unlikely event its introduced, should likewise follow the same rule. If its possible to save the deck, then the concept of diversity will be lost. If the idea is a mode that allows one to …
Quote From Sykomyke [spoiler]Quote From dapperdog Quote From clawz161 All hearthstone needs is a way to ban classes. You don't like playing against rez priest or control warrior? You like aggro v aggro matchups? Ban warrior and priest. Don't like face decks? Ban rogue, shaman, and demon hunter. Queue times would be longer but …
[spoiler]Quote From AngryShuckie Quote From dapperdog Quote From AngryShuckie Quote From dapperdog The new formats must also fulfill that one corporate criteria of generating profit. Duels fulfilled it via paywall and heroics mode, and so it follows that if a new format must be introduced at all, I'm sure it must …
Quote From griffior I remember what it was, it was the Doom in the Tomb event where a number of cards came back and created a meta which funnily enough, was defined by Evolve Shaman. I didn't like that event itself since the Wild cards stayed for wat too long, but I wouldn't be opposed to something similar …
Quote From AngryShuckie Quote From dapperdog The new formats must also fulfill that one corporate criteria of generating profit. Duels fulfilled it via paywall and heroics mode, and so it follows that if a new format must be introduced at all, I'm sure it must go the same route; either paywalling certain features, or present a …
Quote From griffior
In all honesty, they could rotate some of these formats monthly and I'd be pretty happy with it. I just need some variance between Standard and Wild. Tribal could be a challenge for dragons and other tribes, one solution could be spell that spawn said 1/1 minions of that tribe. As for one of these …
Most of your suggestions are perhaps more suitable as a weekly rotating tavern brawl, because they tend to get old really fast, as well as presenting more problems of their own. Something like pauper mode might look good on paper but in practice is basically reducing hearthstone to curvestone, while Tribal would be unfeasible since there's basically not enough support …
Allowing players to build their decks, have powerful passives and treasures that are granted at random, and paywall certain important powerful starting treasures.
Its only a matter of time before the meta settles and all we see are the same decks over and over again.
The starting deck building shouldve followed the arena format, so its not technically …

Confirmed, via twitch's Moobot, that its one pack after 1 hour, and only 1 pack per day
Quote From h0lysatan I wonder where the disconnecting issues comes from? I've had some dc as well sometimes, but if this actually comes from Blizzard server itself, then I hope they fix it before any tournament in the future.
And I'm curious about the total of twitch viewer too, since it's below 5.000 rn.
