    I would love to, but HSReplay doesn't have enough Wild statistics to make a matchup chart or any general archetype statistics, and I don't think there's any other site out there with larger/better stat system than them.

    Maybe Vessina, partly because I don't have any other Shaman alternative hero (even though there are three already). I am yet to play Rogue, Paladin and Warlock so I can't give a solid opinion about those yet as voicelines are also essential but Tekahn does look promising.

    When opening packs I always spin it in circle once before dropping it in the middle (excluding the expansion release pack opening, there's just too many for that).

    Inflicting lethal with the most "unusual" way possible (randomly created "unplayable" minion, 0-Attack minion buffed, pass turn to trigger Rag/Geddon/similar for lethal).

    This is not as set in stone as others: only closing Hearthstone after a won match (this has infuriated me sometimes, how can you lose that many games in a row...)

    HSReplay doesn't have as comprehensive Wild stats as they have with Standard, so I can't give you one single archetype. From the Mage decks available there I managed to find only one pure/traditional Quest Mage, and it would seem that Hunters in general are its worst enemy. Based on that I'd say Mech Hunter might do well.

    Honestly, I expected Gral, the Shark to be included based on the title.

    Awwww yesss, I got mentioned! Glad to see you here as well.

    You can roam around more freely for now as we don't exactly have a reporting/warning system fully up and running yet. No, wait...

    Did someone mention site achievements!? Not that I would be eagerly awaiting or anything...

    This was exactly what I thought, but as luck had it I drew only one legendary..  Mayor Noggenfogger

    Ouch. It if makes you feel better, I think I still have three copies remaining from the era when duplicate legendaries were a thing. What a happy expansion that was.

    Some big names definitely struggled: Muzzy went 1-3, Nalguidan 2-4, Orange and Purple 3-4, Zalae 4-4.

    I would rather they balance some of the later bosses a bit - especially ones that are ridiculously one sided like facing Haro Setting-Sun with a swarmy deck, or the shenanigans Vas'no can pull off at the start of the match with triple overload + mana advantage.

    According to the post about Mike Donais, they apparently are going to nerf Haro Setting-Sun soon. Indeed he's pretty frustrating!

    I remember them mentioning somewhere the bosses they've already nerfed and Vas'no and Linzi were both on that list. And this will be a second nerf already for Haro. Mike mentioned that it was the hardest boss based on stats. Funnily enough it basically a Big Priest, so there's some irony about these quick nerfs to Haro's deck...

    That'd be a very flavorful feature indeed, excellent suggestion. Let's hope it's easy to do.

    Mike mentioned removing DOOM! (so no 10-drop on turn 3 with her hero power). Not sure if any other adjustments will be made, at least he didn't mention anything else.

    Sorry for no response so far, we get a lot of feedback (which is very much appreciated) but we don't always have time to respond. Also Flux is the code guy so the rest of us can't really promise much. But that would definitely be an improvement, I hope it's easy to implement.

    About forum rules...I think we haven't written those yet so they are indeed a bit hard to find :D Luckily you people who have found your way here have been acting superbly so there hasn't been a need for them. But we definitely need to write those at near future. This thread bump wouldn't break any rules though.

    Also: Paint-made pictures are the best pictures.

    What a nice idea. If it will ever be implemented maybe it could also be added a mini lore-guide for each hero, just to add some flavor around.

    Chimera has already done that in individual class guides: https://outof.cards/guides. I find them very good indeed.

    Some other stuff that we didn't clip (at least not yet):

    • Around 2:53:30 Mike shared a story about Ben Brode being a professional Rock-Paper-Scissors player long time ago. He insisted it's true.
    • Heist boss Kara Stamper is also getting slightly nerfed (about 3:13.20)
    • Right at the end Mike gave some card desing insight: They want to push the limits of cards rather than always playing it safe with balance

    Random hero means random hero portrait (from the ones you own, within the class you play, I'd assume), just like the random card back picks a random one for you each game.

    It's an interesting tech for sure. There's probably a matchup where it's particularly useful to have "can't be targeted" minions early on but can't think of any off the top of my head.

    True control players load their decks with all the removal they can possibly get (thanks for notifying, I've now fixed my misclicks).

    I guess we all agree that Dalaran Heist is quite fun to play, and what really adds to its awesomeness are some of its voicelines. I couldn't help sharing some of my favourites with you, they just always make me smile a bit.

    • One of the voicelines Togwaggle can say before meeting with Bartender Bob: "Such niceness, keeping inn open during hostile occupation."
    • What Dr. Boom says if you face P.O.G.O. in Underbelly: (something along the lines) "This Pogo-Hopper has gone into rampage. Stop it! But do take pictures, I love a good rampage."

    Have you got a favourite voiceline or two yourself? Please share, I'm interested to hear those. It doesn't have to be one of these between-encounters voicelines, it can also be bosses reacting to certain cards etc.
