Speculating About Hearthstone's New Expansion - What Could We See Next?

Despite never having played Warcraft 3 or WoW, Arthas' downfall and the Wrath of the Lich King are some of my all-time favourite story arcs. Additionally, I've been pretty bored of HS as of late. If DK is indeed coming …

Upcoming Hearthstone Nerf Leaks Confirmed by Blizzard - Celestial Alignment Changed, Buffs to Paladin, Warrior, & More!

Boy oh boy, I'm glad they decided to go with buffs. Good to see DH and Warrior get some much needed love. I, for one, really hope the Pally buffs pull the class out of its current slump; I've tried …

11 New Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's New Voyage to the Sunken City Expansion - Naga, New Keywords, Releases April 12!

There's an important distinction to be made here between "Discover a card from your deck" and Dredge: the latter only puts the card on the top of the deck, whereas the former draws it. That's significant, because you aren't getting …

Early Standout Standard Hearthstone Decks From Week 1 in Fractured in Alterac Valley

What about Face Hunter with Irondeep Trogg? Though the data may not show it, it's a transition people ought to be making.

Paladins Bring Big Holy Buffs to Fractured in Alterac Valley - Hearthstone Card Review & Theorycraft Deck

TL;DR: These are my two times 100 cents. I've noted a number of changes to Big Paladin, but am not optimistic about its success. Similarly, the proposed Aggro Paladin could see some changes, but I don't see it being much …

Power in Trinkets - A Full Guide to Healbuff Priest on the Wildest of Days

Damnit, I picked the Alliance out of allegiance, but all of these competitive and cool Drek'Thar decks are now completely out of my reach as a result. It's a shame I don't get to experience any of this stuff now …

Blizzard is Rebalancing the Mysterious Stranger in Mercenaries, Fixes to Tasks Coming

I absolutely agree, I don't like the way they phrased the change here nor in the tweet. The whole point of the "grind" is that you're working towards something; it's not inherently enjoyable or "engaging", the most "engaging" part is …

Blizzard is Rebalancing the Mysterious Stranger in Mercenaries, Fixes to Tasks Coming

Ah well, I guess I won't be playing the mode until someone figures out some other optimal strategy to grind or the team does something to make tasks/coins more readily available, because I certainly didn't max my team before the …

Blizzard is Rebalancing the Mysterious Stranger in Mercenaries, Fixes to Tasks Coming

Damnit, I was hoping they wouldn't change this. Welp, better finish my grind for the 1 PvP team (haven't PvP'd yet) I want to be able to play at max before they "fix" the Stranger. For the F2P grinder like …

Hearthstone Hotfix - Legend Ratings Adjustments, Mercenary Tasks Fixes, Casual Mode Quest Completion, and More

Yeah, definitely makes task grinding the better choice for coin accumulation on Mercs you already have.

Pro tip (kinda, and perhaps you already know this): if you grind up to and including task 17, don't obtain task 18 for …

Reviewing Hearthstone's New Paladin Cards Arriving in United in Stormwind

I believe the slower start will kill you before you get to take advantage of the reward in most games. While being able to press the button to get 2 3/3s every turn post-completion can most certainly wear even the …

Reviewing Hearthstone's New Paladin Cards Arriving in United in Stormwind

I'm of the mindset that Questlines and aggression don't mix. One less card in the mulligan and passing on turn 1 despite being tempo-focused will, in my mind, almost certainly leave Questline Paladin dead in the water.

Handbuff, on …

New Paladin Spell - Snack Run

[card]Ivory Knight[/card] never took off, and I don't think any existing Paladin archetypes need this sort of added value, even if it whiffs on said value most of the time. With that being said, perhaps a slower/Menagerie type build might …

New Paladin Minion - Redscale Dragontamer

My hopes for a menagerie Paladin deck are slim at this point... I see how this could potentially fit into that deck, but man oh man is the Murloc Dragon stuff a turn-off. Perhaps someday.

New Paladin Minion - Carnival Barker

Just as FrostyFeet said, I'm actually quite eager to see if this replaces [card]Steward of Darkshire[/card] in Odd Pally. Honestly, I think it will; I'd happily pay the 1-Health tax if it means summoning larger 1-Health minions.

Only downside …

New Paladin Minion - Lothraxion the Redeemed
Quote From Zyella

Any effect that lasts for the rest of the game is going to be dangerous. This will definitely be played in Odd Paladin, and it may see play in other …

New Paladin Spell - Day at the Faire

Odd Paladin certainly doesn't need this card, it's a powerful list as is and [card]Muster for Battle[/card] is far superior on turn 3. Corrupting the card would require playing something along the lines of [card]Loatheb[/card], [card]Quartermaster[/card], or [card]Leeroy Jenkins[/card], all …

New Paladin Minion - Carousel Gryphon

It might be difficult to Corrupt this card in existing lists, so I don't see it being included in them. Notably, it's a 5-mana 5/5 with Divine Shield on its own, but I can't help but think that even that's …

New Paladin Weapon - Hammer of the Naaru

I think the card's a bit too fair for its cost, given the broken stuff that can happen on turn 6 these days. I can't see this slotting into existing meta archetypes for Paladin, but if a Menagerie archetype gets …

New Paladin Minion - High Exarch Yrel

Though I can't speak to its flavour, I don't see why something like this won't be run in Pure Paladin. It's a very high-impact card for the cost in that deck.
