Hearthstone Gets Constructed Balance Changes Next Tuesday - Warlock Card Ban, Priest Card Redesign, 5 Nerfs, 7 Buffs

Mage has been below 50% WR for weeks now. It’s still popular because some people find it fun to play, but they’re helping the rest of us out when they do it. (If you believe the people who claim Rush …

I came here to say the same thing!

I actually won two of my three games. The first one was against a Demon Hunter with [card]Consume Magic[/card]. They were teching against Pogo Rogue, and had no defense …

Reminder: Full Dust Refunds for Hearthstone's September Nerfs Ending Soon!

In late August, Vicious Syndicate reported that Hand Warlock had a 53-54% win rate, depending on which slice of the meta you were looking at. Last Thursday, everything the tracked (high Diamond, legend, and top legend) had Hand Warlock at …

@IksarHS Will we be getting “new” Diamond cards for older sets any time soon? Are there any chards in particular you think would be cool Diamond ones?

@NateWolfeTCG We'll get there, just taking some time. Mercenaries …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #29 - Naxxramas Timing in Classic, Battlegrounds Balance, Large Duels Update, & More!

Agreed. I have a mostly-complete Classic set. I have no Naxx cards, so once that rotates in the mode is dead to me.

Rerolls seem to be the most commonly-requested feature for Saltwater Scourge. Now let’s see if it makes the mode as fun as base Lab of Legends.

Hearthstone's Stormwind Questline Cards Were a Mistake - Here's How We Can Fix Them

VS is my go-to source, but yes their latest article is out of date. In my last post, I included updated data from HSReplay, which shows Quest decks locked out of T1 completely.

I don’t listen to the VS …

Hearthstone's Stormwind Questline Cards Were a Mistake - Here's How We Can Fix Them

I think the real problem is that Blizzard doesn’t design for the long-term viability of Wild. Powerful cards rotate out of Standard, new powerful cards rotate in, and there is no balance of the old and new ones when they …

Hearthstone's Stormwind Questline Cards Were a Mistake - Here's How We Can Fix Them
Quote From iWatchUSleep

They're still a problem in standard, albeit not as much in wild.

Tier 1 right now is basically quest shaman v quest warlock v quest mage. Each with pretty polarizing match-ups.

Hearthstone's Stormwind Questline Cards Were a Mistake - Here's How We Can Fix Them

This article is almost fully focused on Wild. (And what it does have about Standard is inaccurate - for example, Quest Warlock decks only relied on fatigue damage for the first few days after the expansion released.)

In Standard, …

Hearthstone's Mercenaries Debut Stream - Everything New We've Learned About the Mode Releasing in October

That’s fair. As long as you feel that it’s worth it for you, I won’t question that.

I will say that I still enjoy the game, including the past month. I’ve liked the new decks available to try, the …

Hearthstone's Mercenaries Debut Stream - Everything New We've Learned About the Mode Releasing in October

Wow. You have a lot of issues with the game. I disagree with many of them, and the ones I do agree with aren’t as important to me as they are to you, but that’s ok. Your opinions are valid, …

Hearthstone's Mercenaries Debut Stream - Everything New We've Learned About the Mode Releasing in October

The gameplay looks pretty fun. But I don’t pay for single-player games the way I pay for competitive games. I can’t tell if the F2P experience will be fun, or if it will always feel like it’s bugging me to …

Riot Targets Dominant and Disruptive Runeterra Decks With 5 Card Nerfs Coming in a Pre-Worlds Hotfix

It’s a good nerf. For 4 3 mana, Merciless Hunter grants a unit vulnerable and summons a body for your board. Granting vulnerable is a cheap effect - several 1- and 2-mana spells give vulnerable for a turn and have …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #27 - Next Year's Final Set Already in Development, Cross-Region Collections Not Likely, & More

Hearthstone assigns you an MMR (match-making rating), which predicts your general skill level. They adjust it with every game, so it tracks your skill fairly accurately. It’s not perfect, of course, and a single game against an opponent of similar …

I’m a little surprised to hear that. I agree the rewards are better, but I miss the experience …

Runeterra's Beyond the Bandlewood Patch Notes - New Region, Cosmetics, Expeditions, & More

The events are happening more and more frequently. I assume that it’s the biggest money-maker for them. I don’t begrudge them making money through cosmetics, and I know it’s my own damn fault if I decide to buy too many …
