Can confirm, iPads run the game pretty well, even the older ones. If you want to save a bit on one, if you go down that route, Apple might have a certified refurbished program for your country (they usually list them at the bottom of their sites), and you can get a nice discount on something new or a little older. The nice thing about their refurb program, last I checked anyway, is for tablets they replace their screen, battery, and shell so that they're brand new - the only thing that isn't replaced is the electronics. I'd definitely confirm that's still the case though if you end up going that route, don't just take my word for it.
On the Android side of things, I can speak to the fact that the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is able to play Hearthstone pretty well. Haven't seen it in Battlegrounds but it shouldn't be all that different. S20 Ultra, phone, ran the game wonderfully in all modes, though I cannot stand Hearthstone on a phone due to the small screen.
I removed references in your comment to the domain in question.
While it is indeed a reference to the album, Blizzard really should not be promoting something that looks like a domain name that goes to adult content.
I'm aware we've got some deckbuilder problems. Our current deckbuilder and overall deck system just doesn't work in a way that makes this an easy change but believe me, it's something I'd like to address. Unfortunately, there's only so many hours in a day anyone can work so we end up with it being pushed off to the side.
Not my favourite response, but I'm just being real with everyone.
My assumption is they've looked at the whole upcoming year to make those adjustments. No point in unnerfing something if they have to nerf it again in 4 or 8 months.
I've always wanted to dive into this as a topic. My memory could be bad considering it's only been a million years since Hearthstone came out, but I remember them printing such varied strategies for each class every set and there were definitely cards that didn't look like they fit anywhere but then they did.
It feels like to me Hearthstone just doesn't have much of that anymore. They print tools for the 1 or 2 archetypes they want to establish for that year and then leave it at that. Granted, it would take an entire year to make things feel right by printing varied things (you'd need the next rotation to hit to properly fix that). I think the biggest problem there is that the power level can become less predictable when you no longer have your sights on 1 or 2 goals.
There's no "deckbuilder" for meals. We definitely didn't have the time to pull that off this time around, though looking back on it, I don't know if we'd want to give everyone the ability to add meals because we'd likely get a lot of junk that would just ruin the joke.
Meal subforum is definitely a great place to share meals though =)
Here's how we're going to decommission "Out of Carbs".
In the future, probably this upcoming weekend, we'll deactivate Out of Carbs since it'll have been live for a week.
The navigation links will be removed.
The subforum will move to the bottom of the Out of Cards forums.
The Discord channel will move to the bottom of the Out of Cards Discord.
Forum threads from the Out of Carbs subforum will no longer appear in the forum thread widgets seen on the homepage and game portals.
Other than that, everything will remain accessible if you know how to find it. There has already been talk about having some more fun with it next year, so we'll keep everything around to support that in the future.
If you want to contribute a recipe on the forums, definitely go for it!
FWIW we don't have this documented anywhere but the "carb" bbcode works to link ingredients and "meal" embeds meals, much like our card and deck bbcodes work.
It is a Random Standard Legendary. When you claim it, the Legendary will be from one of our standard sets at the time of claiming it. So if you claim before April 12th it will not include ones from the Sunken City expansion.
You will be able to access this content in all regions you play the game. Please note that Prime Gaming is not available in Russia, China, India and embargoed territories.
This is available on Mac - you just need a Prime membership to redeem them and a Battle.net account to connect to Prime Gaming.
You'll also need to attach your Battle.net account to Prime Gaming, but that'll be easy once the offer is live since they give you instructions on how to do it.
Yeah, I've come across that too! It just doesn't really interest me unfortunately because it isn't the people who were originally designing the game. Thanks for pointing that out though, maybe someone will take interest.
I miss a physical WoW TCG product. It's been so long, I can't even remember how to play.
I wish the cards weren't so expensive. Otherwise, I could see myself using something like Spell Table to play online with friends. I know there's digital versions on stuff like Tabletop Simulator or OCTGN, but it just ain't the same.

Collection fixes are on the to do list. I know how frustrating it is when a core site mechanic isn't behaving.

Just don't wait until the very last minute ;)

Update: We now have confirmation that these legendaries are from Standard. Wait until the expansion launches to claim your loots.
This is available on Mac - you just need a Prime membership to redeem them and a Battle.net account to connect to Prime Gaming.
Rewards are live!
Yeah, if you overlap the months with a free trial, you can time it out to get 2 months worth of stuff!
Yup! Once it goes live at least.
You'll also need to attach your Battle.net account to Prime Gaming, but that'll be easy once the offer is live since they give you instructions on how to do it.
Mech Mage is 100% back! One of my all-time favourite archetypes returning to Hearthstone. DIS GONNA BE A GOOD YEAR.
This wasn't supposed to be live yet =)
Yeah, I've come across that too! It just doesn't really interest me unfortunately because it isn't the people who were originally designing the game. Thanks for pointing that out though, maybe someone will take interest.
Interesting. I wonder if that last card is RNG then.
