Favorite expansion/expansions?

My two favorite expansions are Knights of the Frozen Throne (yes I know) and Kobolds and Catacombs. Reasons are purely subjective, for me it is the blend of really good single player content (to this day I think KaC has …

Post-Nerf Wild

My impression so far:

  • Odd Hunter: Losing one of its key card was a huge blow; now Tier 3 at best
  • Quest Pirate: If you look at it in a vaccum the nerf only resulted in a …

Did anyone else not get dust?

Only seven years in IT under my belt, so I hope you accept me in your club :) Joke aside. Bugs happen at the best companies and to the most dedicated developers, so the occurence of bugs is nothing noteworthy …

Microsoft to Acquire Activision Blizzard in a $69 Billion All-Cash Deal

It pretty much can only get better for Blizzard under Microsoft ownership, so this might be a good thing. On the other hand I don't expect any changes, as Activision Microsoft will aways put the dollar first and the player …

Microsoft to Acquire Activision Blizzard in a $69 Billion All-Cash Deal

I'm not surprised at all. Microsoft has no incentive to get rid of him right away. Post-acquisition integration is a tricky thing and replacing management as first thing usually does not help. In the medium term he might have a …

Magister Dawngrasp's Odd Mage - Wild Hearthstone Full Deck & Guide

Welcome back and many thanks for the deck list. Good guide also. Odd mage has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. I messed around with a similar deck recently but unfortunately could not make it work. It's …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Q&A #35 - New Card Type, Cosmetics Monetization, Future of Hearthstone, Internal Team Reorganization

Is this really a huge problem in HS? I have been added and insulted after games a couple of times but overall this is a rather rare occasion for me. Not sure if the scale of the problem justifies putting …

Wizards Announces a New MTG Arena Digital-First Format: Introducing Alchemy

I'm really not sold on this one yet, it smells like another money grab. My issue is: A curated format like Alchemy requires regular and meaningful balancing to remain fresh, which translates into some efforts and manpower needed on WotC …

Golems Galore - A Full Guide to Jade Shaman on the Wildest of Wednesdays

Fond memories :) I was always more on the Jade Druid side. I would argue that [card]Jade Idol[/card] is the strongest jade card, but overall Shaman is looking stronger (especially as it received much better support cards in the following …

Hearthstone Known Issues For Patch 22.0 - Compensation Coming for EU Mercenaries Season Problems

Is it just me or is this getting worse with every expansion? I have the impression that the amount of bugs and hotfixes has gone up substantially in the last years. Sure, with every expansion the game is getting a …

Fractured in Alterac Valley's Legendary Questline is Starting Early in a Hotfix - Unlock New Golden Cards Early

If you want statistical information there is none. Based on my end-of-season dash yesterday evening I have the impression that the Horde is outnumbering the Alliance a bit. Also on Reddit people made polls on what people chose which the …

Hearthstone's Upcoming Alterac Valley Faction War Legendary Questline Requires Over 300 Games to Get Golden Card Rewards

Ok, I'm out then (without any additional honor gains). 10 games per day is too much for a casual player like myself. I have to work and have a RL :)

Here We Go Again - The Alterac Valley Reveal Season Gets a Rocky Start With Little Communication From the Hearthstone Team

Not surprised that Kotick knew, not the slightest. I doubt he will be forced out though. The pretty much only chance this will happen is if the stock price will dive further or he becomes a legal risk and the …

How about some love for the actors and writers?

I'm adding artists to the score. It's certainly a thing that MTGA is doing better.

Hearthstone, OCD Ritual

In the end this is a really simple issue for me. You need to answer one question for yourself: Am I enjoying this game? If the answer is no, which is pretty clear in your case, then stop playing. No …

Fairytale Brawl

I concur, don't pick Jaina. I mean it. Her AI is an absolute desaster. My game went into fatigue despite my opponent having a full board and me being on one health for five or six turns. I would say …

Fairytale Brawl

I get the idea and with a capable AI it could be fun for a couple of games. The problem is that the AI is so bad that this whole brawl seems more like a liability than a fun experience. …

Blizzard is Set to Reimagine BlizzCon, BlizzConline 2021 in February is Cancelled

What they actually mean is: We do not want to risk further bad press for holding BlizzCon amid the ongoing lawsuit and scandal. The one thing in the release that gets me a bit scared is this: "Potential events in …

You Want How Much Money, Blizzard? Hearthstone's New Legendary Mercenaries Bundle Gets Hilarious Canadian Shop Pricing

You got to be more understanding guys. Bobby needs to buy his 37th Ferrari, which is not going to pay for itself. Especially not with current inflation levels.
