I'm not so sure about Basic cards though. Are you sure it will be possible to dust them? I somehow remember having read that it isn't. …

Reality check: Core isn't saving everyone money
Quote From meisterz39

[quote from="FortyDust"]They are canceling hundreds of cards that were supposed to be permanent...I'm just saying it's kind of stupid that these articles keep saying it's a boon to the wallets of veteran players when that …

The Thunder King Shaman Hero + Stolen Thunder Card Back and Thrall Card Back Are Now Available in the Hearthstone Shop

Good call. It would be pretty silly to buy Classic packs at this point.

(Yes, you can use them in Classic mode, but I assume the people interested in that already have all the Classic cards they care about. …

Chadd Nervig & Ben Lee Talk Core Set, Spell Schools in Mini Set, Battlegrounds Cosmetics, and More!

[quote from="Ben Lee"]The Tavern Pass is meant to be light on functionality and more aimed at giving you vanity options. It doesn’t affect your gameplay outside of the small impact it has on XP gain.[/quote]

It's not a small …

Reality check: Core isn't saving everyone money
Quote From KANSAS

I don't know what you mean by "the reality behind Activision's PR propaganda as they try to spin this in a more celebratory direction". To most people, this is a genuinely good thing that should

My wish for weekly quests

I definitely agree. That locked-in quest has always seemed weird to me. No one should be forced to play any particular game mode to get weekly quest XP.

Reality check: Core isn't saving everyone money

I recently stumbled across this passage in an InvenGlobal article, and it left me shaking my head:

[quote from="InvenGlobal"]By making the upcoming Core Set free to all players, Blizzard is looking to invite new players into their Hearthstone ecosystem …

We're Getting a Year of the Phoenix Card Pack - Possible Bundle Incoming? (Bonus: Phoenix Pack Simulator)

Do I recall correctly that packs like these do adhere to the no-duplicates rule, but they have their own pity timer? Meaning 15 packs would guarantee you an epic, but don't hold your breath for a legendary?

So, say …

Hearthstone Mercenaries Interview Recap - More Information on Hearthstone's Upcoming Roguelike

I didn't say "lack of communication." I said "poor communication." Self-contradiction is one form of poor communication. They've said it's "in the Slay the Spire vein" and then contradicted themselves by describing a game that's nothing like STS, apart from …

My wish for weekly quests

We know there are many changes in store for the reward system as the year rotates. The one thing I want more than any other change is this:

The ability to opt out of weekly quests for different game …

FitB launch?
Quote From OldManSanns

Lol I'm still not use to the new acronym -- I saw this threat title and thought it might have something to do with the launch of a new Fitbit-integration feature. :-P

What do you consider BM within HS?

Why these things are not BM:

  • If your opponent has lethal on board, you are perfectly capable of ending the game yourself.
  • If your opponent emotes sarcastically or too much, there's a Squelch command.
  • You don't …

Winner of most depressing card design contest: Monkrik

If we were always so vigilant about triggers, we as a society would have a tragically tepid body of literature, art and video games.

It's up to the individual with the problems to avoid things that might make them …

Classic changes - basic class cards
Quote From AngryShuckie

Finally, I don't think we know much about when the next rotations happens. It sounded like the Barrens set will be out whenever it is ready, which could be anywhere from mid March to late …

Hearthstone Mercenaries Interview Recap - More Information on Hearthstone's Upcoming Roguelike
Quote From AngryShuckie

Blizzard using STS as the reference point is more than enough justification for the community to do the same.

Poor communication on Blizzard's part, compounded with the spreading of misinformation by the …

Hearthstone Mercenaries Interview Recap - More Information on Hearthstone's Upcoming Roguelike

Right, but I'm not just talking about dev comments about their inspiration. Fansites, news pieces and comments keep acting like the two games are similar, but they are really, really not.

Hearthstone Mercenaries Interview Recap - More Information on Hearthstone's Upcoming Roguelike

I don't know why Slay the Spire keeps getting mentioned. Any similarity is extremely superficial. Slay the Spire is a deckbuilding game at its core, and they've just confirmed that there's no deckbuilding in Mercenaries.

Slay the Spire can't …

Lord Jaraxxus Will Celebrate a Comeback in Hearthstone's New Core Set as a Proper Hero Card

I feel ya, friend. I thought Iksar had hinted we'd get some breathing room between hero card releases.

But as a Core card, maybe Jaraxxus won't be quite as strong as expansion heroes and won't see much play. (Or …
