    I'm personally done spending any money in this game.  The game is made less and less affordable with each change to the game's economy, and then changes to cards you spent 6k tokens on yield no compensation.  This greedy cash grab of a gotch ya game won't get my financial support any longer.

    I was in a small stream of my friend’s, someone came in all “I guess it’s time to quit HS” like the whole team got laid off or something.  I thought that sounded crazy given they just made a new mode, maybe brought back some older players, etc.  However, I couldn’t find anything at first. But a restructure before the completed buyout sounded more reasonable.  Might have even gotten Microsoft feedback on cuts to make the transition easier.  Cut them now instead of later when it’ll look like MS layoffs.

    Rumors swirling of big layoffs coming, potentially hitting HS team hardest.  Any concrete evidemce of this?

    Sanitize is like Reckless Flurry on steroids.  For 1 extra mana get the same effect but keep your armor!  Forge it first to also get more armor.

    Even Warrior in Wild is going to love having this little board clear.  Odyn lists in Standard probably will too since the Forged copy can at least guarantee clearing small taunts prior to using the attack from the armor gain.

    As a Wild player, kind of wondering if this new Sigil would be too slow or not for an Odd DH deck.  Might find a home in my Il’gynoth QL DH.  Might depend on if they nerf Disco Lock or not.

    The other cards for DH, Shambler and Mindbender, good Even DH cards!

    No, seriously… I think both can find a home somewhere.  Mindbender could even work in the previously mentioned Il’gynoth deck.  Especially after the Sigil goes off, draw a few more cards, maybe it gets a tick of cost reduction too!  Help control the board before the combo turn.

    But again, the IG deck overall is too slow against Disco Lock so I wait to see what changes get made there before I get to excited about new additions to that deck.

    I would also like to see a little more of a Twist focused section.  Or at minimum some working and updated Twist features for the deck builder and deck database.  But I know that probably takes time and resources away from other needs.

    Cthun Druid incoming?  A single Juicy Psychmelon will now be able to pull Cthun at 8 mana, Aviana at 9 mana, and Kun at 10 mana.  Pair those with Brann and Zola for some hilarious shenanigans!

    This was one attempt at making this deck.  Second version that’s performed a little better (but still kind of a meme) can be found here!

    I have my event set up, I entered it early to complete set up, and it's now after 10 am PT.  So normally at this point I'm able to do the early pack opening.  But for some reason today, it won't let me.  Technically my "event" doesn't start for another 45 minutes.  But in the past this has never stopped me from opening anything.  Usually since I can enter the event early as the host, the official start time has been irrelevant.  Perhaps they changed it so no one can open packs until the event officially starts.

     

    EDIT:  My event time has now passed, and even with the event officially started, I still can't open packs early.  Fantastic!

    Looks like I'm not the only one.

    Even Shaman probably runs into this more just because you’re smashing that 1 mana button every time.  But the deck also has other minions to play, and other ways they generate the same totems.

    It is weird when you consider Chisel didn’t care what basic totems were already on board.  And playing Odd Shaman you could summon the same totem every time with the upgraded hero power.

    Great!  Now make it so the fifth totem summoned is the spell damage totem!

    They are there, yes.  I assumed since the article said they needed to be claimed that I just wasn't getting them.  Guess that was just the pack a day that needs to be claimed.

    I saw Chill-o-matic and heard sad "chugga chugga" noises in my head.

    This event is supposedly live now, but my account must be bugged or something.  Nothing showing up.  Signed in and out, back in, etc, multiple times.  Rewards just says I can claim another reward in 19 hours, but I never claimed one to begin with.

    I think you hit the nail on the head, that cost reduction on mechs is going to be key to making Mimiron work really well.  And even with SP-3Y3-D3R I was excited to see more and maybe play Wild Mech Rogue.  I love any excuse to try and play Cogmaster's Wrench and Iron Sensei in a constructed mode!

    It’s an interesting game.  I like the 2 rows you have to place Recruits, and how you position the front is important for protecting the back.  The Comic Adventure mode is also fun.  Not sure I’d play this game a ton, but will likely keep playing casually for some time.

    Quote From DragonDraena

    Playing Haleh on curve isn't the problem. Summoning two of her with a discounted fire spell is an issue for sure. 

    Personally, I don't see Team 5 changing Solid Alibi in any format. Mage had Ice Block starting in beta. That's part of what Mage does: trick the opponent into thinking they had lethal. 

    It'll be interesting to see the approach to Twist. Do they bother with bans and nerfs, or just move on to the next batch of rules? 

    They already banned a few cards in latest patch to limit power of Questline Druid decks, and to "slow down" the Amulet Mage decks.  But in my opinion, banning Refreshing Spring Water for Mage was more of a blow to other decks that might have wanted to use it (like Questline Mage), as the Amulet OTK decks still have plenty of draw.  They needed to just ban Amulet as it can only discover Haleh, making the card way too consistent at pulling 16 mana worth of minions for only 6-7 mana on average.  But whatever!  Rules will change soon enough and the deck will disappear.

    First attempt I played an Annoy-o-Tron, played and generated a Clockwork Gnome. When V-07-TR-0N formed, one of my spare parts was the one that swaps health and attack.  So on turn three I had 32 damage on board.

    But in most cases Dredge doesn’t draw immediately.  So you need Dredge plus a draw card/effect to go with it, or the funny clip will be someone trying to dredge their win con back to the top and then having it shuffled to the bottom again.

    Another option could be two Dredge cards.  Pick the one you want first since the second dredged card goes top, and hope the opponent places the second card at the bottom.
