    The forbidden mechanic makes a return! This card has me pumped for some control priest action though there are two unfortunate parts to this reveal:

    • It doesn't really tell us much of what they are planning with Priest just yet. 
    • There are more value-friendly options available for removal (Shadow Word: Pain, Shadow Word: Death)

    We know that Priests are considered on the EVIL side of this year's expansions and will be headed by Madame Lazul, the fortune teller, but even that doesn't give us much of a tell. Maybe we'll be able to look into her crystal ball to see what our opponent is going to draw next and get a copy of it.

    I am super looking forward to this card. The turn 10 dream of Kalecgos into Pyroblast will probably happen to my opponents more than myself though =(

    It is nice to see another 4/12 dragon added to the game. I wonder what other Dragons we may see in this set. With Kalecgos and Dalaran somehow being involved (Magic, yay) it makes me think Mages may get another blue dragon in the set. Year of the Dragon Mage?

    This is looking like a pretty kickass expansion so far. This is going to be an incredible year for Hearthstone!

    The Lackeys are such an awesome mechanic, especially so since we'll see it throughout the entire year with more minions being added to the whole pool.

    Really looking forward to Kalecgos though. Dude is a beast!

    Alright so here's what I want to see.

    All the villains were imprisoned and a greater force (What up Yogg?) breaks them free. They spend the first expansion escaping and starting to cause some terror. We end up with the second set being just pure terror and the final set is us finally putting them all away.

    Since Yogg is involved, we end up with some beautiful creature art in the first set. 

    I just want some damn Old Gods involved! Also, Khadgar for playable mage card pls.

    Remember, it is possible to collect your own card so Khadgar playing Khadgar makes sense.

    It is currently my drug of choice when I play the video games.

    I was initially hesitant due to the whole EA thing and just knowing they were going to find a way to ruin it but so far, it just feels like the League of Legends monetization system so I'm cool with it. The make it or break it will be the upcoming battle pass which was leaked to be around $10. It also includes a hero though so my real question is, how will that hero end up being available for F2P players? Will they have it available immediately for the in-game points or will it be exclusive to pass holders for the "season".

    Hit level 40 last night, so I'm only a couple a levels off Mirage now though so that's pretty cool. I too unlocked caustic first, the traps were amazing in theory but I couldn't find a proper use for them with my preferred playstyle.

    I love how fast the game is. The movement is as smooth as Call of Duty Black Ops 4 (amazing movement omg) but then the shooting is miles ahead of Fortnite. It still doesn't hit the mark that PUBG does for me, but I can't even play PUBG now because it feels like you're playing a slug.

    Exciting acquisition by Second Dinner. Shame that the Hearthstone team is continuing to lose some of their oldest people, but this new year feels like it's going to be such a refresh for the game I don't think it matters that much.

    Good luck to Second Dinner on their development with Marvel!

    Last month Emerald Spellstone was nerfed alongside a few other cards. We wanted to see how everyone felt about the nerf at this point in time.

    The nerf was: Cost increased to 6 mana (Up from 5)

    • Do you think the nerf to Emerald Spellstone was warranted?
    • Are there any decks you're using that make use of the nerfed card? Share them!

    Yeah I really don't know how many people want Hearthstone branded basketball shorts but hey, maybe market research says otherwise.

    Hey Sherman!

    Thanks for the love! ❤ User profile stuff is currently a very high priority because it's one of the coolest parts of customization available. You've probably seen us admins with custom avatars already, the support is there we just need to extend it to a user-facing form.

    The negative votes on forum posts is currently a bit of a test. It might end up being a positive which is why I wanted to try it, though there isn't any penalty yet (like hiding low voted replies) and I don't know if there will ever be for the forums. It's important that people feel like they can discuss stuff on the forums without penalty.

    I would like to add in reactions at some point though which might make votes on forum posts not needed. Similar to how they're done everywhere else on the web - with emojis - it would give us a cool way for people to show appreciation in many different ways and also scold those that are being a bit too Kappa.

    Eventually we will allow people to see who positively voted on their content, though that isn't currently in the works and we will never showcase negative votes to anyone other than staff to prevent the harassment potential.

    Lots more to come, pushing out updates as often as I can to get more systems in place. Hoping we'll see some more friendly faces real soon!

    Just having an entire year be connected to itself is going to be crazy. The villains though so far.. GG Blizzard, shut up and take my money. I really hope Rafaam gets a ton of love.

    I've pushed updates to the site this evening to fix some issues and implement new features.

    Bugs Fixed

    • Fixed a problem with images overflowing the containers they are inside.
    • Fixed a problem with YouTube and Twitch video players overflowing the containers they are inside.
    • Fixed the display of unpublished content in the guides section. We can't have that!
    • Fixed an issue where clicking on the vote score for an option would refresh the page.
    • Removed card classes from filters on the Deck and Card listings that do not contain collectible cards.

    Changes

    • Site content editor now respects your browser's spell checker.
    • Class images have been added to homepage deck listings and the deck listing.
    • Removed the 10 character requirement for posting comments.

    New Features

    • Some pages have been upgraded in their mobile-friendliness. They now have special sub navigation that lets you switch between content!
      • The homepage on mobile now defaults to "News" with an accessible sidebar of "Decks & Forums".
      • Deck detail pages on mobile now default to  "Guide" with an accessible "Deck List".
        • Developer Note: I'd like to make the Deck List the default view in the future if the guide portion is empty.
