I meant like the loot cards one gets between dungeon run bosses. I was really hoping for a Captured Flag.
Oh ... yeah, see, that was not at all clear from your original post :)
As Almaniarra said, that was never a thing in arena. But also, as AliRadicali said, this could actually be an interesting idea for an event. I dont think it would be easy to implement such a thing into the arena environment permanently, Blizzard has had problems balancing the game mode without any extra stuff added, now if you added treasures on top of that, it would make for a very unfair experience overall.
It is ok to have a bit unfair, but a fun experience for a little while, but as long as the game mode ur playing is a paid one, you expect certain level of professionalism from it, so you are not just playing a lottery.
That being said, i did love the ESL way to draft an arena deck, where you get to pick more cards along the way after every win, but that game plays out slightly differently than HS, so i dont know if it could work out for HS or not, but it could be an interesting experience for sure.
When Twitch was not so popular probably a burnout streamer will be a bad call, but today many streamers do that as a job and HS give a very big visibility considering its numbers so they keep playing it even if they're not enjoying the game anymore. The only thing that matter at that point is if they keep a professional attitude instead of just ranting here and there.
I feel like that should be a nobrainer, if you start acting out, who is gonna watch you? Meaning you lose some revenue stream, so it is in your best interest to keep it together and act professional. And if you are being a dick and ppl just take it, then that is not a streamer problem, that is a community problem that they dont speak up, either literally or with their "money" aka viewership, subs etc.
What do you mean by "loot card"? You will probably have to elaborate on the situation a bit more.
If you havent played arena in a long while and you came back to a 2-0 that said the run is finished, it was cause there was an arena reset couple weeks ago. There will be arena reset every two months or so, ever since Year of the Dragon. They are trying rotating sets and change things up twice per expansion.
There is a known bug that has been there forever, that you actually get arena rewards awarded to your account even before you click on the key and open up the boxes. So if you are paying attention enough and know how much gold you had before you finished your run, you can see the amount is now different and after you open loot boxes, you are not awarded any more gold/dust, cause it already happened.
Now this step most ppl dont even realize happened, but it is very apparent during arena reset. Because when you log in to the game, you notice you might have a pack unopened and maybe notice how much gold you have, so you open your pack, cause you probably forgot about it or something and go about your business. Then you go to arena screen for your rewards and you get nothing. Thats because when you logged into the game, that unopened pack was from the arena reward and any gold/dust was already awarded to you as well, you just didnt know it and now you think something is wrong. Yes, technically something is wrong, but in reality you did not lose anything, you just didnt know you already got it ;-)
If this was not your situation, then sorry for the wall of text :)
I think a log of all card nerfs/buffs/changes could be done and would be a neat feature.
We already have that actually :) And card changes listed in those patches are also associated with cards and shown on their card pages, for example look at Molten Giant's page.
Hey Razor, good to see you around! :) I say apply anyway and explain what you just wrote here. I think monthly pieces are also something that we would be open to, so go ahead.
I mean i agree that it would be a cool feature to have and we are open to almost anything, but to tell you the truth, i dont think this is very realistic. I dont even think that there is information to be gathered out there for each card to do this and even if it were, it would be a monstrous undertaking to put it all together.
What we might do, and we do do it already (for example this), is to showcase how a specific card or cards came to be. Be it the process of creating the art or devs talking about how they came up with the idea etc.
You know what? I think this would actually be a really good area of "expertise" for someone to tackle with weekly articles, where they could always showcase a specific card(s). There would be (arguably) enough time for research between articles, if it were a weekly thing, and there could be a lot of content to go through overall, so it would have potential to last for a long time.
We are currently looking for ppl who would like to contribute with creating content for the site and this looks like something that, if we found a dedicated person for it, would be a really great addition. So if you, or anyone else, is interested in taking on this responsibility, feel free to apply here.
Dark Pharaoh Tekahn (4): First of all, you have to get Lackeys to get any value from the battlecry, so solely draft dependant. Then you have to play this before lackeys. Quite unrealistic that you would be able to do all that in an average deck. But it can happen.
Desert Spear (3): It is not the worst weapon ever, but kinda awkward. You can distribute the damage, that is nice, but still. Im not sure how i feel about it.
Vilefiend (3): Ok 2-drop. Less stats, some healing, could be worse. Warlock might like it for the demon tag.
Well, they already said there will be only one new Lackey in SoU, so your assumption is correct :) And giving minion Reborn does sound like something that could happen. The ability itself is certainly strong enough to be on par with the rest.
I feel like this is one of the best cards druid got, so versatile. Maybe a bit boring, but pretty good.
I need Yogg to cast this :)
My second favourite card back after lemonade :)
Yeah, this one is pretty rare.
This always reminded me of Flash lol :)
Yup, this was a really interesting event. Hope we have more of that in the future.
My favourite card back still.
Yup, already on our to do list ;-) It is always fun opening packs :)

Yes, it is on our to-do list, no ETA tho.

I saw some Menagerie deck around here recently, maybe you could try some variant of that :)
Use The Curator to fish for pieces :)

Fixed the title for you, users cant edit that just yet :)
But yeah, that is actually a cute combo and should work.
