Hearthstone Esports Gets a New Crowdfunding Bundle - The Dragon Masters Bundle Now Available with a New Card Pack

I got a [card]Shu'ma[/card] as well, but I like to play Quest Hunter, so I'm quite happy with it. It might be playable in Token Druid as well, if you have a deck that's not exclusively doesn't lean too heavily …

Eh, it gives you cards from the Year of the Dragon, while it is the Year of the Raven (Witchwood, Boomsday, Rastakhan) that will be rotating out next.

Say Goodbye to Free Hearthstone Packs via Twitch Drops - Esports Moves to YouTube

There is no evidence this is currently implemented for Hearthstone. But "differentiated gaming experiences" has me worried in what way they want game experiences to be different, especially when it comes right after "curated recommendations for in-game offers".

They have a patent, but that doesn't mean it's implemented. But if they'd never consider implementing a mechanism like that, they wouldn't have bothered to spend money to patent it.

Say Goodbye to Free Hearthstone Packs via Twitch Drops - Esports Moves to YouTube

[quote from="press release"]They will also have optimal personalized interactions, as Activision Blizzard can tap into Google Cloud's AI tools to offer curated recommendations for in-game offers and differentiated gaming experiences.[/quote]

This sounds very worrying to me. Activision is still …

Say Goodbye to Free Hearthstone Packs via Twitch Drops - Esports Moves to YouTube

Twitch is owned by Amazon, so regarding your first point there is not much of a difference. But they do have more of an e-sports culture.

As for the handling of Blitzchung's protest, that was done entirely by Activision …

2020 Beast Hunter

Regarding a possible secret package, in my experience if you run Phase Stalker and Master's Call, you will pull and draw your secrets pretty quickly, so to make Subject 9 worth it you'd have to run at least 6 secrets. …

Standard is awful right now

I understand the frustration of playing against [card]Convincing Infiltrator[/card], but to me it doesn't happen all that often. Yesterday I played 3 games against 3 different decks (Highlander Mage, Holy Wrath Paladin and Secret Highlander Hunter); all games were fun …

Did I miss something? - Gakakronds Awakening

They could decide to do a patch each week, so data miners wouldn't get the info much sooner than players. Might be tricky to time it for mobile though.

Pick a Hand, Any Hand

[card]Bazaar Burglary[/card] works well in this brawl, since drawing a non-class card counts as adding it to your hand and most of your draws will be [card]Unstable Portal[/card]. The quest reward helps you get a board advantage through less or …

Aggro Hunter cards.
Quote From Bystekhilcar
Quote From Zelgadis

Aggro vs aggro can be quite skill-testing, but people who never play aggro don't experience those match-ups. Aggro vs control often boils down to who draws better, since even if …

Four New Card Revealed From Galakrond's Awakening, Including a Familiar Face!

It's very true that a card can be worse than Branching Paths and still be playable. But the cards have very different strengths: Branching Paths was over-costed but more than made up for it in versatility. Rising Winds' summon option …

Hearthstone's Road to Northrend Brawl Disabled Until Next Week Due to Ongoing Issues

They should be able to schedule any brawl they want at any time on internal test servers; no need to do that on the production servers.

My guess is that issue is with the client rather than the brawl …

Aggro Hunter cards.
Quote From Bystekhilcar

Re: 'does aggro mean a lack of skill', it absolutely does not. It's a statement you'll hear a lot, though, and usually from 'Control' players who don't actually know what Control means, and who lose …

Reward Even Though I Lost + Gold Donut?

As far as I know, when two players get knocked out in the same round, they share the same place. But Hearthstone isn't capable of visualizing that. So you and the other player tied for 4th place, which counts as …

Four New Card Revealed From Galakrond's Awakening, Including a Familiar Face!

Dragon's Pack isn't the best comparison, since that's a pay-off card for invoking and even with that restriction, the original version was so powerful it got nerfed. I think [card]Rain of Toads[/card] is a better comparison and that card saw …

Four New Cards Revealed From Galakrond's Awakening Including a Neutral Legendary Lackey Synergy!

[card]Dark Arakkoa[/card] was played even in decks without C'Thun and this has a lot of extras for 1 more mana. [card]Sludge Belcher[/card] showed that it is very useful to have a taunt that leaves behind a body.

Four New Cards Revealed From Galakrond's Awakening Including a Neutral Legendary Lackey Synergy!

It's possible Erkh counts as a lackey for Tekahn while not being in the random lackey pool. Unlike Treants where every card with "treant" in the name is considered a Treant, there have been cards with "lackey" in the name …

Hearthstone simulator that actually works and is up to date?

The problem might be finding the right term to search for. A simulator implies that it includes behavior. What you're looking for is a tool to create synthetic screenshots. Not sure what that would be called. Maybe a composer?
