    I think this might be something along the lines of some custom designs we've seen beforefor "save the baord state", ie "remove all minions from play ... bla bla, put the minions back in play". Maybe the hero power will summon one of the minions removed at random or something.

    Ayayay :D But all good, Linky is great and his set is pretty awesome. I absolutely love the Trials mechanic and the final version of it :)

    Quote From No Author Specified
    Arena: The appearance rate of cards in the draft has been updated to ensure class balance remains close to the ideal 50% win-rate. Specifically, the win-rate of Druid, Hunter, and Paladin should now be decreased. The win-rate of Priest, Rogue, Shaman and Warlock should now be increased. Card appearance rates for Mage and Warrior remain untouched.

    I wonder why haha. Druid, Hunter, Paladin ... Dragon Explorer Classes. Who would have thought they would be strong xaxa :)

    I think they reverted it to the original, where it just switches one of the minions to a higher tier, does not add an extra minion.

    Something we want to improve upon for sure, but there is actually an "arrow" icon in various places, that lets you jump to the last post, if you click on it.

    Only pinned threads dont have this right now from their respective forum section pages, but they do have them in the front page widget or Recent Threads page.

    What i like about HS is, that it isnt an overly complex game, or rather that it doesnt have an overly complex pieces. There is still complexity and you can create new stuff, like dormant minions for example, that still keeps the simplicity of the design while extending the design possibilities.

    I must say, i personally am not too much of a fan of your suggestion, at least not in a way you suggest. I could see it being implemented in a similar fashion as Legendary weapons or Quests, a new sub-type of a card rather than an alteration of existing ones.

    Not likely, at least not publicly. This should be both Standard and Wild together.

    Iksar said himself that it was just a quick photoshop pic he did, nothing fancy. So you should take it as such ;-)

    Interesting data. Looks like ranked floors helped quite a bit with populating the R15 and above range. Tho if we take into an account that it has been 5 years between the two distributions, looks like not much has changed in the grand scheme of things. I suppose, the number of players included in the graphic would be a relevant parametr for the comparison as well, if Blizzard were to reveal the number, but they wont :(
