Silas is a neutral treachery.

 

Prepare for many stupid decks.

7/8 Players Ready. Time Remaining :01

Some people have bad internet that cuts out at inopportune times.

I've missed entire games because of my ISP's bungling.

Tortollan Pilgrim & Guardian Animals Being Nerfed in Patch 18.4 This Week

As always, I hope they plan to undo these nerfs when the cards rotate into wild.

Turtle mage was an interesting deck that I never got a chance to really use, and the card's only other real use was …

Hearthstone Posts a Video Using the Same Hashtag as Scholomance Academy's Teaser

In EDH, players start with twice as much life, and have a deck of 99 unique cards.

They also start the game with a commander, a legendary creature, in the command zone. The colours of the commander mandate what …

Books

I feel obliged to recommend Pratchett in any book related discussion.


Always a fun read. Currently making my way through The science of discworld for the third, maybe fourth time.

There’s Only Two Types of Hearthstone Players..

@doingtheobvious

Your post has awakened some repressed memories of the picard song, which has now been stuck in my head all day.

I hope you're happy.

There’s Only Two Types of Hearthstone Players..

I once set up a ghost mouse to try to click all of the flowers off of the bush.

It turns out that hearthstone has a click speed limit, and the animations just don't happen if you exceed it.

Hearthstone's Discover Keyword, A Favourite Since Its Debut in League of Explorers, Has Been Nerfed

Does this also include cards that discover from a controllable zone, like your deck?

If so that means that Shadow Visions cannot generate Shadow Visions any more, which actually changes the balance of the card, because it is certain …

I don't like aggro. Is hs the wrong game for me?

¿Que?

An elitist is one who considers themselves and other enfranchised members of a group to be of greater merit than the disenfranchised.

A hearthstone elitist would be somebody who thinks, for example, that the game should be

Day 1: What works and what doesn't?

Been having a lot of fun with the new tour guide-enabled beardo OTK.

It seems pretty consistent, but it's probably not as reliable as mecha'thun warlock.

EDIT: I also love polkelt and sphere of sapience. They are the …

Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!

Is metasalt allowed?

I get irrationally upset about how angry some players get over losing to chance.

An excerpt from a recent friend request:

"Ahah heartstone is hilairous" [sic]

"Hilairious game for 0-skill clowns"

New Neutral Minion - Enchanted Cauldron

Not very likely to be impactful, as is true of all random minion summoning effects.

New Neutral Minion - Sneaky Delinquent

Not really something that any decks need right now, but the card is a top consideration if stealth rogue becomes a viable midrange archetype.

New Neutral Minion - Smug Senior

I think we've passed the point of every taunt with deathrattle being a consideration for n'zoth decks now, but his one is remarkably ok. I think that this won't see super widespread play, but greedy reno decks can likely make …

New Neutral Minion - Ogremancer

Interesting effect, but not likely to see play.

Definitely stronger than any card in the trogg vertical cycle, but that is not a high bar.

New Neutral Minion - Intrepid Initiate

A nice 1-drop for aggro decks with enough spells.

Probably does pretty well in token druid, but a lot of aggro decks don't have very many spells they are willing to play on turn 2, making the card less …

New Neutral Minion - Fishy Flyer

Remarkably okay for a reveal stream dump common, but still not really strong enough to see play. It is fairly big for a murloc though, so it is a maybe card for murloc paladin's recruit effects.

New Neutral Minion - Divine Rager

I don't think that it needs to be said that a rager is bad. The divine shield mitigates its rager-ness, but a minion with no relevant abilities at 4 mana is just not good.

New Neutral Minion - Lake Thresher

Not likely to see play, based upon other cleave minions that have been printed. This is the cheapest ever neutral cleave minion though, so maybe I'm missing something?

New Neutral Minion - Desk Imp

The 0 mana 1/1 cycle continues, and I think that this one isn't great.

There are not as many synergies that reward early demons as beasts or murlocs.
