    @Sinti, Do you have any recommendations for which cards to buff and how? 

    Like all of them :D Just imagine your line-up, ok? How are you killing anything? Maybe in first few rounds, when minions have single digit health. Totems having 0 attack also means they are not damaging enemies when they are targeted, being free pickings most of the time too. I guess you could/would pick other stuff alongside them and picked only specific totems at higher tiers, but i dont think that would work. The problem is the 0-attack, you can give them any ability you like, but if they are free pickings, they are going to suck. And that is exactly my point, totems do not attack, they are just a bad tribe for BG.

    Maybe if Amalgam was brought back, then totem synergy could be build mainly around that, but it would obviously make every other tribe that much stronger as well.

    Nice effort and i get where ur comming from, but Totems are just bad tribe for battlegrounds. It doesnt make sense for them to attack, i know you already explained yourself, but still.

    Also, like anything but the Tier6 stuff is super weak, you could not run that composition and expect to get to the last tier, let alone win.

    Another thing is there would have to be a lot totems to populate the tribe, since now only 3 tribes can be in one game. I can see it being like a neutral one off or something, but not a whole thing for BG.

    Amazing article, as always! Great lore info about some of the seemingly random names of some HS cards (for a person who does not know WOW lore) like Sunfury Protector or Shattered Sun Cleric!

    I'd call an animal organisation, if I were you. My father found a bat on his balcony two years ago and he wanted it to be in some place safe. He called the animal organisation in our city and he was advised to bring the bat there.

    So, if you contact the experts in your country, they could tell you what to do with this "lobster". They might even decide to go to your place and pick it up for themselves.

    What?! How does one "bring a bat" anywhere. How do you catch it? You just have a spare bird cage lying around or what? How would you get him in? They should come for it, no? Damn i would have been creeped the hell out.


    On the topic: that is definitely Mirelurk ;-)

    It would certainly be interesting, but could it be balanced?

    And i didnt know Lux's full name was Luxanna :D But it makes sense, definitely sounds royal-like, in a sense that it is a complete garbage name that a highborn would give to their child, cause they wanted to give them a snobby name :D

    I liked the last one. I especially liked the strategy level of teams where they tried to get a draw so they wouldnt take damage or just lvled up their Tavern Tier if they knew they r going against a team mate. This will be especially important now, since 5-8th place does not get any points, so a scenario can come up, where one team member might sacrifice themselves to help the other get to top4 for example. Should be fun!

    I think “ally” is defined as “friendly unit”. Since Vlad is a friendly unit, he should count towards his level up. Also, I’m sorry if my post was confusing, Imperial Demolitionist does not actually say “another ally”, it just says “ally”. I think the issue is that units that target an ally cannot target themselves, despite the card text not specifying that they aren’t a valid target. When an effect targets itself and all other allies it says “all allies” and when it targets all other allies it says “all other allies” (looking at Brightsteel Formation and Crimson Awakener, so it seems like Riot has just established that “Play” effects cannot target the unit that plays them. 

    You're kinda contradicting yourself there, are you not? Brightsteel Formation targets itself with play effect. So maybe you meant "single target play effects"?

    The current draft game mode for LoR right now is Expeditions, but I think that due to giving cards in buckets it often leads to worse versions of constructed decks instead of truly unique decks.

    What? If anything, the opposite is true lol! You can get some seriously busted decks in Expeditions that you couldnt build otherwise. The fact that the cards are in buckets and that you get offered cards from the same buckets over and over make it so that you can build some insane synergies.

    I believe there was a halfway cut off "vengeance" in there somewhere :)

    Thanks, although it's strange there's nothing better than that.

    Yeah, sadly there is no in-game way to take a screenshot without manually saving it. They implemented that years later for League of Legends, i dont know why they didnt include it in Runeterra from start. Might come later.
