    I don't know which is better - my gut says that 10 gold for three wins probably felt better because winning felt like it mattered then. I do know that the current rewards track feels better than the first iteration did, and I feel like I will have a good deal of gold to show for my efforts by the end of the expansion. I'm a paying player (I buy most bundles), but I like to supplement with gold-bought packs at the beginning of an expansion too.

    From a F2P point of view, so comparing cost to achievable gold (again considering I am F2P - meaning casual), the new system is no better. At best, it is the same. They could have done absolutely nothing, and I'd still be in the same place. I'm sure they've captured a load of people who suddenly feel like it is worth spending more money, but for me it is actually a little bit more boring than before. Their *really big thing* was "a sense of achievement". Meh.

    Considering how bad it was to start with, when they first said that it was great, but actually shafted players, it really shows how money grabbing they are. 

    I'm level 41 at the moment. Vaguely looking forward to the level 50 hero avatar thing. Hoping they are going to take away all the clicks needed to navigate around.

    Yeah, the reason you have to go and claim the rewards, similar with Achievements, is probably to "feel" the accomplishment. I think, at least for Rewards Track rewards, would be a good idea to just get the pop-up right after you earn it, not needing to go to the special screen and pick it up manually. Same as you got 10 gold for 3 wins in the old system, right after the game.

    Seems like they intend to abolish the Hall of Fame. Since Edwin is rotating then this pretty much means that the entirety of the classic set is getting rotated.

    Seems like a fair assumption.

    How strong would a level up on damaging nexus and Rally on level up be? Kinda insane damage potential, but it is 9 mana, so dunno.

    Pretty good representation of his LOL abilities, tho i feel like he resembles Trynda a little too much, even tho they would play differently enough, I suppose.

    I feel your pain. I've done quite many achievements that way, now only missing these "get this exact card in buckets, draw it and so on". I think my Greyboughs are at 23 now, but I'm not going to exhaust myself and try to get...200, was it? I do fully intend to force the ETC achievement though, Blizzard give me the damn buckets where he is included.

     

    I´m currently 155/200 with the Greybough so I´m gonna finish it just for the sake of it. Best thing to force ETC is to put every rush minion in your starting deck, that way I could get even two ETCs from time to time, that´s the quickiest way. Too bad there is no way to force Il´gynoth or High Exarch Yrel, that´s the only two achievements I can´t complete without owning them :/

    I mean, Burgle Rogue to the rescue?:D

    Yes, I don't believe anything else was implied there. Just to give you back that faster sense of progression, having getting something each day or so rather than once or twice a week, and then change the pacing again after you reach LVL50, I'd imagine.

    Good luck to the finalists! Looks like my Valeera didn't get much love.

    To be honest, for how weird of an effect it is, it did pretty well, just not well enough to reach finals. You'll see in the Transparency Report once the comp is over ;-)

    Use the Card ID instead of its name (same goes for HS, LOR). You can find the ID in the card's URL on its card page.

    So [mtgcardimg]17612[/mtgcardimg] is this

    while [mtgcardimg]30682[/mtgcardimg] is this

    Already a thing, if you use

    [mtgcard]Sylvan Library[/mtgcard]

    Sylvan Library

    or

    [mtgcardimg]Sylvan Library[/mtgcardimg]

    I guess we are missing the buttons in the editor for it thought :)

    Not a full month earlier, but yes, there might be a shift to the regular expansion launch dates, we will have to see.

    It is funny that a 5-cost Evolve seems to be as problematic as a 1-cost Evolve. Something to be said about that.

    Wow, great implementation of each of her abilities! Really great job! The keyword is something that could make it into the game as well. Hats off! :)
