Man, I can't even show my face around this snowball fight anymore. I used to dominate this, and now I'm not even in the top 4. Guess I'm past my prime.
How do you craft cards?? It wont let me if i dont own one copy already. I want shattering blast but it wont let me craft it.
Also, make sure you understand how set rotations work. Shattering Blast rotates to wild in April, so unless you play wild, this may not be the best investment of dust. Since you're talking about crafting a rare card, I'm guessing you don't have much dust. Your collection, your call though.
I don't play Battlegrounds anymore, but it's free, so I don't see any reason to complain about them showing up as event rewards. You still get three packs for Standard. It's not as if they would instead be Hero portraits for Standard/Wild - this event just might not happen in that case.
I don't play Battlegrounds either, and I object to being forced to play it to earn these rewards. Yesterday, I literally just cued up 2 games in a row and did something else while waiting to die. Waste of time I could have been playing a game mode I actually enjoy.
I just jumped in here thinking it was the one where you bust open presents to get gifts for yourself. Good ol' Warlock with "destroy a friendly minion to ..." effects. Conceded turn 2 when I realized my mistake.
Chromie can also pick up the "summon a 1-health copy" treasure. I tried that when I was running her "restart the turn if Chromie dies" equipment.
However, this was less fun than your other highlights here. It was basically Groundhog Day, where I repeated turn 1 until deciding to leave her on the bench.
I had a tough run-in with the Echo of Medivh bounty this way. When he did his "summon copies of your mercs that attack each other," his Chromie copy also had the restart turn thing, so it created an almost endless loop. Damn but it was frustrating. I don't remember how I broke out of it, but I ended up losing the bounty, which was pretty sad since it was normal and not heroic
The one where she drops in after a Merc dies. She always replaces the dead Merc, I know that. My issue comes up during a following round, after she is already on the board.
Sometimes when you move your mercs during the deployment phase the game reacts too slowly to the changes you made and reverts them, especially if you have a unstable internet connection (from what I've heard the mobile client especially has issues with that). Most of the time it auto-corrects itself. There is also the situation that if you change your position between the revert and the auto-correction that both the original and the just made changes get made, which can feel very unintuitiv. In short: Just wait a second or two before confirming the positions and you should be fine. That's atleast the experience I have.
Yes, I've noticed this too. That's why, afte the first couple times this happened, I made sure to click and drag carefully, then wait plenty of time for it to settle. Didn't matter. She always shifts as soon as I hit "ready."
This keeps happening to me: between rounds, I place Maestra in the optimal position, then she moves over right after I click "ready," ruining my strategy. Has anyone else encountered this?
I love the Denathrius change. I've played him a LOT, and played against him a LOT. This is that rare nerf that actually balances the card's power level without nuking it into oblivion. He's still strong and definitely wins you some games, but sometimes you just play him for the healing, which is good too.
Now the replacement problem is Astalor Bloodsworn. Guff Druid can easily play him alongside Brann for pre-nerf-Denathrius damage output, and lots of other classes can do so as well with a coin. Even without Brann, this guy is ending games.
If Psychological Pricing was a real card, and if it actually cost you 1.99 mana, you'd have .01 mana left and Double Cross wouldn't trigger. Totally OP.
Maybe I'm only remembering the recent ones (Old Gods) then, but even so, once they've set up a system to change which coins are present, why not continue using it? It's not like it's difficult to find space as there's several bounties for the large majority* of mercs, so switching 1 out isn't a problem.
Perversely a few, mostly epics like Cho, only have coins in a single bounty, which is a bit annoying.
The coin distribution among bounties is totally whack. I still haven't maxxed out Murky or Leeroy, despite them being in my collection for ages. Conversely, my Ysera is already maxxed, and she's my most recent acquisition. Why? Because you can get Ysera coins at 5 different bounties.
Ok, this looks alright. I've been eagerly anticipating this for quite some time, and I was afraid of how bad it might be, but this looks ... acceptable. Still need to see exactly what the exchange rate will be.
Yes, you can change equipment in specific parties, or in general. However, I have not changed the equipment for either merc any time recently. Even if I had, it would have changed their default equipment, not the one assigned in that specific squad. Feels like a bug to me.
Has anyone had this happen? I'm super pissed right now, because 2 of my mercs had their equipment changed somehow, and I lost a match because of it.
If you want the details, I'm playing Old Gods almost always, Y'Shaarj with the extra attack on Rage Unbound, C'Thun with gaining stats on bench. When I summoned C'Thun in the late game, he was base stats and summoned the tentacle. I certainly never changed this equipment myself, but when I went to the collection after, sure enough, both were set to the wrong equipment. Changed them back, then won the next game.
Huh, you're right. I just looked around. Funny that I never noticed this before. I have to say, I don't really care for it. It runs contrary to how every other card works.
Well, I do own the card, so maybe it's time for some miracle rogue.
My opponent played Edwin, Defias Kingpin, played the next 2 cards, making him 8/8, then Shadowsteped him back to hand, then played him again and he was still 8/8, then gained even more stats as they played other cards. Surely this is a bug? Minions cannot keep stats gained on board once returned to hand.

Round 2: Priest and turn 4 victory LOL.

What hotfix? I still can't open the dang packs. Great way to launch a new set...

Great, creative set!
Thanks! I updated in the shop and am all set now.
Article says mobile patch is live, but I'm on an Android and no patch yet.

Wow, I love being punished for putting up a big taunt to protect myself. This card is going to create a lot of feelsbadman moments.
