Should Questlines Return to Hearthstone? Looking Back at Stormwind's Demon Hunter, Hunter & Druid Quests

This may just be me but I've always loved matchups that flip the traditional game on its head. I never played much Final Showdown once it started to catch on, but the song and dance of learning the ins and …

Hearthstone Balance Patch Coming Thursday - Tony, Yogg-Saron & The Jailer Redesigned

I'm pretty curious to where Rogue is going to stand after the nerfs honestly. Mech Rogue definitely seems like its going to benefit the most from these given the fact that none of their cards got touched, but Yogg was …

Unpacking the State of Disruption in Hearthstone: A Player's Perspective

I'm 100% on board with the fact that Theotar was nerfed solely because Sire Denathrius, though as much as I hate playing against Denathrius I'm more or less fine with that. Since Denathrius was the free legendary from the set, …

I'm in shambles D:. Going to pretend this never happened.

Unpacking the State of Disruption in Hearthstone: A Player's Perspective

Yeah card generation and also redundancy for these pieces can definitely blow any issues with them out of proportion. Having enough disruption in the meta is necessary especially as more cards like [card]Odyn, Prime Designate[/card] are released, but too much …

Sire Denathrius and Shockspitter Nerfed in a Surprise Hearthstone Patch 25.0.3 - Plus the Corresponding Achievement Fix, Patrons Shadow Banned & Unbanned

Pretty much this entire expansion I've been fully loaded on hand disruption and its crazy how resilient Druid is. Renathal variants can shrug off things like Brann + Patchwerk since most of the time, they'll still be left with at …

Eurogamer Italy Leaks the First Alterac Valley Hearthstone Card - Legendary Freeze Synergy for Shamans

The new set symbol isn't available yet in the program we use to model the cards so we are just using the classic one for now. The actual set symbol will be on all the cards once the reveal season …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #28 - Warlock in Wild, Arena, Rewards Track Cosmetics Coming for Mercenaries & Battlegrounds, & More

I'm on the side of being for an auction house for Hearthstone, depending on the implementation. Being able to trade gold for someone else's cards would be a great way to not only let newer players have the ability to …

Iksar Asks: Would You Like to See a Class Bonus Event in Hearthstone? Double XP and Ladder Stars as a Highlight

The same situation is already happening with people trying to complete achievements for battlepass xp. Way I see it, this idea just gives players another alternative to grinding with the meta decks and still be rewarded even if they have …

Survive the United in Stormwind Launch! Day 1 Decks to Try, Freebies, and Everything You Need to Know About the Expansion

Thanks! It was fun doing all the math behind the questlines, except for DH. Playtesting for 4-5 hours where maybe like 3 and a half of it is spent shuffling Soul Fragments isn't my definition of fun, but the ends …

Questing in Stormwind - Better Understanding Mage's Sorcerer's Gambit Legendary Questline

The [card]Oasis Ally[/card] stuff is true, when deckbuilding I had an oversight and forgot that [card]Flurry (rank 1)[/card] existed. If I were to play this deck, I would swap the two.

As for the spells that target minions, while …

Questing in Stormwind - Better Understanding Paladin's Rise to the Occasion Legendary Questline

We've gotten clarification from two different sources saying two different things and I haven't had the time to check out all the theorycrafting streams to see if it works the way I think it does. That being said, the [card]Pen …

Questing in Stormwind - Better Understanding Warrior's Raid the Docks Legendary Questline

I can definitely see this card existing in a build of pirate warrior in wild, though I'm not sure if just fitting it into a typical list would work that well. Stuff that is normally very good in that deck, …

Questing in Stormwind - Better Understanding Rogue's Find the Imposter Legendary Questline

While hand size issues can become a bit of an issue, especially when [card]Field Contact[/card] is still on the board, I think that Rogue is still able to dump their hand on the board fast enough to make this not …

Questing in Stormwind - Better Understanding Demon Hunter's Final Showdown Legendary Questline

Glad you enjoyed it!

As for the 'no more benefit from the reward' part, I'm not quite sure what your getting at. A lot of the time there was still a decent chunk of the deck left to draw, …

Questing in Stormwind - Better Understanding Warlock's The Demon Seed Legendary Questline

While I did not say this in the article, I completely agree with that take. For aggro matchups, the quest is just too risky to try and rush, but against a slower control deck, you can just go to town …

Questing in Stormwind - Better Understanding Shaman's Command the Elements Legendary Questline

Going the elemental route to use things such as [card]Primal Dungeoneer[/card] more effectively is undoubtedly pretty strong given that Elemental Shaman is already a very strong deck. The main reason why I didn't want to do that is simply because …

Questing in Stormwind - Better Understanding Priest's Seek Guidance Legendary Questline

They do not care about the order at which the cards are played, it just matters that the right mana cost card is played on a given step.

Questing in Stormwind - Better Understanding Rogue's Find the Imposter Legendary Questline

Yeah questlines are probably the best flavor legendaries they've done in a long time. It makes me wish that Blizzard would try doing more story telling on the cards instead of just saying stuff like "oh yeah and this thing …
