Arena Balance in Hearthstone Being Rethought After Tian Ding Left Blizzard

It's not only the balance between classes that needs to be addressed, the power spikes from certain cards need to be toned down as well. I just got crushed by 3 [card text="Snowfall Guardians"]Snowfall Guardian[/card] in a row. From turn …

The Dead Never Rest! A Full Guide to Graveyard Deathrattle Rogue on the Wildest of Wednesdays

Good to see this series is still around! Yes, I do think more refined lists are out there after seeing gameplay footage from Dane, but this version looks fun too! And more importantly [card text="Anka"]Anka, the Buried[/card] finally found a …

[quote from="Author"]

  • Abominable Lieutenant is no longer draftable in Arena.[/quote]

This is very welcome news! I wonder if this also means that the button is getting pushed at an attempt to bring the class winrates closer …

Surprise Hearthstone Patch 22.0.2 Arrives Today! Irondeep Trogg Nerfed With 8 Other Cards, 4 Card Buffs

In Wild this could even be considered a buff as [card]Alliance Bannerman[/card] can now be drawn by [card]Salhet's Pride[/card].

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Q&A #36 - Battlegrounds Streamer Reveals, Long-Term Plan for Tavern Brawl, Auto-squelch

I don't care what streamers request. This feature for me would be the single most important QoL feature they could implement and I know I'm not the only one. Half of the comments under this article are about auto-squelch while …

Dean Ayala's Hearthstone Q&A #36 - Battlegrounds Streamer Reveals, Long-Term Plan for Tavern Brawl, Auto-squelch

Auto-squelch could happen. Just do it already, please! I know they've said the game feels more immersive without it, but to me it's only more immersive in a negative way.

New Shaman Minion - Cheaty Snobold

Arena: Especially nice with along with some frost spells, but not essential since it already has a vanilla statline.

Constructed: Best Frost Shaman card after [card]Snowball Fight![/card]. Mandatory card for that deck.

New Mage Spell - Iceblood Tower

Arena: Nope, don't even think about it!

Constructed: Meant to be cheated out early by cards like [card]Clumsy Courier[/card] or [card]Balinda Stonehearth[/card]. But still, what are you doing in the turns prior to that? I can only hope it's …

New Mage Minion - Balinda Stonehearth

Arena: 6 mana draw 2 with a body can be good. With some luck the body doesn't even suck. What would be worse than a terrible body is having your cheaper spells costing 5 mana all of a sudden.

New Neutral Minion - Frozen Mammoth

Arena: It's a trap, even if you have so synergy.

Constructed: Great flavor, but I can't see [card]Frozen Mammoth[/card] being anything more than a meme.

New Mage Spell - Rune of the Archmage

Arena: Freaking insane! Best card ever! Questionmark?

Constructed: Is this better than [card]Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron[/card]? It is, right?

Rune of the Archmage is a New Hearthstone Card Revealed by The Angry Chicken for Fractured in Alterac Valley

But what if I told you that [card]Rune of the Archmage[/card] can also cast [card]Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron[/card]?

New Mage Hero - Magister Dawngrasp

[card]Magister Dawngrasp[/card] alongside [card]Balinda Stonehearth[/card], [card]Iceblood Tower[/card] and [card]Rune of the Archmage[/card] is a deck builders galore for Big Spell Mage! Please, let it be viable! The hero power is a nice addition, but you primarily run this for the …

New Warrior Hero - Rokara, the Valorous

[card]Arcanite Reaper[/card] + [card]Shadowform[/card] = [card]Rokara, the Valorous[/card]. Great for aggressive decks, although 7 mana is a bit slow and the fastest Warrior deck, Pirate Warrior, might not want it because of interference with [card]The Juggernaut[/card]. I feel like the …

New Hunter Spell - Spring the Trap

Arena: Obviously great if you have already drafted some secrets.

Constructed: Already good without the honorable kill and amazing with it. But to be critical, the randomness of [card]Spring the Trap[/card] is a small downside. Therefore, you might want …

New Rogue Weapon - The Lobotomizer

Arena: [card]Livewire Lance[/card] is crazy good in Arena partly because lackeys are broken, but also because it represents both value and tempo in one card. With [card]The Lobotomizer[/card] you're not guaranteed the value but is one mana cheaper than its …

New Demon Hunter Spell - Sigil of Reckoning

Arena: Yikes!

Constructed: Is it fair to compare this to [card]Skull of the Man'ari[/card]? Skull looks much better of course, but is in Warlock and the most aggressive minion it can pull is [card]Doomguard[/card]. Instead, [card]Sigil of Reckoning[/card] can …

New Priest Hero - Xyrella, the Devout

I don't think you need loads and loads of deathrattles for this to be worth it. As soon as you got decent value of the battlecry you should just play [card]Xyrella, the Devout[/card]. Yes, repeating all those deathrattles is great …

New Warrior Minion - Captain Galvangar

Arena: Ignore the battlecry. This is just a 6 mana 6/6 without any text.

Constructed: An OTK might be possible that can't be done with [card]Grommash Hellscream[/card] (as easily). If not, at least you want to close out games …
