It's much easier to gather coins for a merc once you have them, though, so... Go for it. Embrace your vices. Give in. DO IT.

That's fair. What I meant to imply was that your external rating does not accurately reflect your skill in the mode. Like Battlegrounds, and like Standard, they're planning to reset your external rating. I hate that 'get back to where …

"The external rating is the number you see, which is reset at the start of each season to add meaningful stakes and progression each season."

Well, no, you just told me that the reset has no actual meaning. I …

By my froggy crown!

The more I listen to his voicelines, the more I hear Austin Powers. I can't help it, and I need to pass on my disease.

I wish that I could simply say they need to hire more folks. It's obvious that they need to produce more content - Wild needs balance/philosophy updates, Standard needs balance updates, Duels needs a reskin and new treasures, Tavern Brawl …

As they say, if the situation around you always smells like crap... maybe check your own shoes first.

That is a good point, actually. We've all faced the inexplicable challenge of figuring out new water fixture controls in hotels or friends' houses - does it bend out? up? down? do I push it in? which way is hot? …

I'm really hoping that they don't add MMR to Arena. It'll introduce the same problem that currently exists in Duels: a mode which you play to gain return on your investment, which requires more than a 50% winrate, is designed …

Ah, I hadn't thought that this might not be the major overhaul they've teased. In that case, it makes some sense to have a stopgap measure in the meantime. I hope that you're right! I would, honestly, be surprised if …

I can't be bothered to read this instruction manual for a mode that won't come out 'til mid October, but wow, the art is gorgeous! Why can't regular Hearthstone cards have this much character? I love it.

I definitely …

They had a whole imaginary table of space to use - why not use it? Put an dagger beside the book and have players unwrap something on the hilt to start Mercenaries. Crack open a compass to start Adventures. Click …

I agree. It's a bit like the Battlegrounds and Duels rating resets - you're already weighted to get back to your previous rank. There's no competition to it so long as you keep playing. It's a system devised to give …

Haha, agreed. She looks like Draco Malfoy. "Huh, I didn't know you could read."

The worst part about Dean's comments on dust efficiency, seasonal events, in-game deck trackers, Wild balancing, Standard balancing, et cetera is that he seems to believe all these reasons he's created not to do things - not wanting players to …

I don't like it. It sounds like achievements, the single-player content, and the rewards track - yet another little thing which makes me feel like I'm not playing properly. Another l'il notification trying to push me into playing a certain …

[card]Sergeant Sally[/card] is surprisingly alright, actually. She was used in several competitive handbuff decks, back in the day. Seeing as Handbuff Paladin is tops in Wild, maybe you could try slotting her in?

[card]Power Overwhelming[/card], [card]Inner Rage[/card], a buff …

Beyond how this will affect which deck is most popular, I wonder how this will be implemented for more casual folks. While Team 5 is always talking about reducing complexity, this change might would make the Standard ladder feel too …

I do agree with that. They go for a different flavor with every expansion, and they have so many artists that work on the game.

But then, I've never been much a fan of the Warcraft flavor anyhow. It's …

I'm in love. Thank you.

These cards have me desperately wishing I enjoyed Runeterra's mechanics.
