Iksar Asks: Would You Like to See a Class Bonus Event in Hearthstone? Double XP and Ladder Stars as a Highlight

Give players double XP (or triple, even) for playing that class on any mode. Keep the ladder rankings unchanged.

Brawl Block: Gods, Gadgetzan, Gurubashi

Ugh. Usually when people complain about Tavern Brawl, I say it’s meant it be a fun casual mode. It appeals mainly to players who don’t give their opinions on online forums, and that’s ok. Not everything has to be for …

Hearthstone's August 2021 Card Nerfs Are Live! Tips for Collecting That Sweet Dust Refund

The best resource I know of is the old blog post when Blizzard announced the special commands: https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/news/20056284

I agree that we need a better one, especially if new items like “refund” are being added.

Two United in Stormwind Pack & Legendary Card Bundles Now Available in the Shop - Are They Worth Buying?

If you’re calculating the value of this deal, I recommend that you don’t think about the cost of individual packs or Legendaries. Instead, think about what you need to have fun with the game.

If you accept that a …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #24 - Revisiting Balance Next Week, Emote Wheel, Bring Back a Friend, Mass Nerf

Are people asking Dean about the charges Blizzard is facing? I assume they are, and I’m sure that he’s in an awkward position and has to watch what he says, but I’d really like to hear more from him on …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #24 - Revisiting Balance Next Week, Emote Wheel, Bring Back a Friend, Mass Nerf

I appreciate that they’ve put the amount of gold that they feel is right on the track. If they made more rewards give gold, they’d make up for it by reducing other rewards. Everyone can have opinions about whether the …

Awesome United in Stormwind Launch Decks from Hearthstone's Top Players and Streamers

If you draw the nuts and your opponent applies basically no pressure to you, then you can finish this quest on turn 5 or 6 and close out the game on 7. But in addition to playing the Quest, the …

Blizzard President J. Allen Brack Leaves the Company After California's Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Filed & Employee Walkout

I’ve seen a few comments implying that this is the end of it or that other people will avoid responsibility because Brack took the blame. That’s not true at all. It doesn’t end the court case or the calls for …

Blizzard President J. Allen Brack Leaves the Company After California's Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Filed & Employee Walkout

One point I want to make: A lot of people are still unsure if Blizzard really did anything wrong, since no court has ruled on this yet. Some of these people are saying that this is a cynical move by …

Out of Cards Deckbuilding United in Stormwind Giveaway Entry Thread

Here's my entry. I have a special love for cheap Token Druid decks, because that was the source of my first major climb up the ladder when I was still new and didn't have many legendaries. Hopefully this option is …

Reviewing Hearthstone's New Warlock Cards Arriving With United in Stormwind

I’ve never been a Warlock player, but once Quest Hunter gets nerfed I’m going to have to try this just so I can make a deck named “Anetheron bites the dust”.

Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick Calls Original Response Tone Deaf, Responds to Lawsuit

Edit: I just learned that WilmerHale, the outside firm they’re contracting with, is known for helping companies fight unionization. That certainly puts a disturbing spin on this issue.

My original comment:

Thank you. Those are very good points. …

First Look at Hearthstone's Battlegrounds New Interface for Cosmetic Heroes and Bartenders

I’m very curious about how well the alternate bartenders will sell. Most cosmetics in games like this are things your opponent will see as well, but bartenders are for your eyes only. Will people still want to pay for them?

Blizzard Has Cancelled Their Remaining Solo Reveals, Card Reveal Dump Stream Pushed Up a Day

To our knowledge, no one from the Hearthstone team has been implicated. I don’t believe that the published information is clear about identifying everyone, and it’s hard to believe that there is NO cultural bleed between teams, so who knows …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Community Q&A #22 - Battlegrounds Button Coming to Main Screen, Naxxramas Achievements, & More

I think Dean would make a couple other points is this weren’t a rushed Twitter Q&A:

1) Hunter’s power level is fairly consistent. It always has at least a playable deck, but rarely has the very highest WR. If …
