Get a 10% Discount on 1 Player Draft Token - Today Only on MTG Arena!

Daily deals would require us to get into the game in the first place, which many players cannot at the moment due to the return of the black screen. They pretty much fucked up the update (again). Not that I …

Matching Algorithm

Well, you have this discussion with pretty much every card game. In Magic you could fill entire books with people suspecting rigged matchmaking (not that there has ever been the slightest shred of credible proof, on the contrary).

I …

Fan Community Spotlight - Neoguli's Core Set Reworks - Part 4 (Demon Hunter and Hunter)

Nice work, I appreciate it. Thanks for sharing. Although I must confess I found the previous iterations more on spot. I think there are quite a few dubious decisions here. Theremon already underlined many of the problems. Just want to …

Hearthstone's Cupcake Card Back is Now Available in the In-Game Shop

Well the reason is Blizzard making more money, apart from that with EUR this has always been the case. Because in Blizz-Land USD = EUR, meaning a player from (mainland) Europe usually pays a ~15% premium compared to a US …

Brawl Haul - Flickering our Creatures with Thassa, Deep-Dwelling!

Thanks for the latest issue, I appreciate it. I think I'm in a kind of love-hate relationship with Thassa, she can be pretty cool but also really annoying. Quite a few of the presented cards will rotate out of standard …

Discover Effect: What are the probabilities?

I cannot give you a real answer to this as I don't know how the program exactly resolves the discovery choices (and to my knowledge Blizzard has never said how they are doing it exactly). I would like to point …

What is the current state of Arena?

It's really imbalanced right now. Mage and Priest are by far the best classes, other classes such as Warrior and Shaman are in the dumpster. I had several rather high-win runs and it was more or less the same: Get …

The Felosophy Bundle - Get 2 Scholomance Legendaries, 10 Year of the Dragon Packs, and 10 Ashes of Outland Packs for $20

I got [card]Forest Warden Omu[/card] and [card]Professor Slate[/card] from Scholomance. From the packs I got a golden [card]Archspore Msshi'fn[/card] and [card]Kargath Bladefist[/card]. From the same pack. Guess thats ok. :)

Priest and Resurrect

I don't know when I encountered the last Res Priest. They are pretty rare, so no problem here. Although I fully understand that this archetype can be very frustrating. The underlying problem with Res in HS is that it was …

Looks interesting, but as a relatively new player I rather concentrate my resources on standard.

This Week's Hearthstone Tavern Brawl is "Who's the Boss Now?" - Deckbuilding with Boss Hero Powers!

Dropped Raza on Turn 5, my opponent conceded after I hit the hero power button like 8-10 times. Almost felt bad. Obviously the team put absolutely no effort into this.

Blizzard Adding a Battle Pass to Hearthstone? Survey Highlights Alternate Art for The Coin, New Hero Skins, Paid Leveling Rewards

I agree with you that we don't know the details on the new system and that we cannot properly judge until we know this details. I strongly disagree about the poor reporting though.

 

Fact is that Blizzard …

Blizzard Adding a Battle Pass to Hearthstone? Survey Highlights Alternate Art for The Coin, New Hero Skins, Paid Leveling Rewards

Definitely not a fan of the Battle Pass but I have not the slightest doubt that this will be implemented (regardless of survey results). HS is already a very expensive game if you buy all pre-orders (equivalent of several AA …

MTG Banned & Restricted Updates for August 2020 - 4 Standard Bans, Teferi, Time Raveler Vanishes from MTG Arena

Well deserved, also Cauldron Familiar is a pleasant surprise. This should stop the Rakdos sac nonsense with cat and oven from taking over the meta after ramp takes a big hit. Can't wait to see it going.

Adorable Infestation is a New Hunter & Druid Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

[card]Fire Fly [/card] was really good because you could play it one turn one. You can't play this on turn one. The best scenario for this is to play it on turn two on a one drop. That would be …

Adorable Infestation is a New Hunter & Druid Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Seems like a fair card to me, obvious inclusion for Token Druid. Comparion is [card]Fire Fly[/card], which was really good. I consider Fire Fly stronger though, as you could play it on turn one which is a huge deal especially …

Cabal Acolyte is a New Priest Card Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

If this would feature a targeted effect like [card]Kabal Shadow Priest[/card] it might see some amount of play. In its current form this card is interesting but too unreliable.

Mozaki, Master Duelist is a New Mage Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Underwhelming on its own, with a really niche application area. You need to combine this with mana cheating and a lot of small spells to make it viable. Outside of Cyclone Mage this will likely not be playable. Had much …

Ace Hunter Kreen is a New Hunter & Demon Hunter Legendary Revealed for Hearthstone's Scholomance Academy Expansion

Looks really strong to me. I would compare this to [card]Deathspeaker[/card], same stats and cost but the effect is permanent and hits all characters. Basically this allows you to trade for free. If your opponent cannot remove this quickly its …
