Masters Tour Bucharest Survival Guide

Starts at 8 am local time? I can imagine that won't be easy for some of the players.

How to counter the lategame? Is Mojomaster Zihi any good?

I don't think you can beat the very late game (N'Zoth) unless you're playing either a greedier N'Zoth deck or a combo deck. So for other decks, the goal is to kill them before they either reach 10 mana and …

Legends of Runeterra - Everything We Know So Far About Riot's New Card Game!

There was plenty of hype for Artifact. It failed because of its design and business model, not because Hearthstone.

Edit: MtG Arena released around the same time and seems to be doing fine.

Legends of Runeterra - Everything We Know So Far About Riot's New Card Game!

I watched a bit of Trump's stream yesterday and if I understood correctly, Fearsome means that small minions cannot block it (not sure of the exact condition, but it was an attack or health threshold, I think) and Overwhelm is …

Legends of Runeterra - Everything We Know So Far About Riot's New Card Game!

Visually it looks similar to Artifact, but easier to see what is going on because everything is on a single screen. Mechanically, I guess it's closer to MtG, since you can assign blockers and react what the opponent is doing …

Blizzard President J. Allen Brack Issues Statement on Grandmasters China Controversy

They have separate art in the Chinese version of Hearthstone already; The Skeleton Knight is one I've seen used as an example. So even if the reason for having new art drawn was the Chinese market, they could have decided …

Blizzard President J. Allen Brack Issues Statement on Grandmasters China Controversy

I have mixed feelings about this.

It's good that Blizzard's president responded instead of staying silent. It's good that they addressed the harshness of the punishment, which was the main concern of a lot of people.

However, even …

Best Friend Forever is Busted

I haven't gotten the option to pick Duplitransmorgifyre, but I did pick BFF once and it ended up in other hero's decks as well. But as a 1/1, so not busted yet.

The flavor text does emphasize the "forever" …

ThatsAdmirable Cancels BlizzCon Casting, Sottle Still On Board, American University Hearthstone Team Forfeits Matches

On the one hand, I can sympathize with Sottle. I too have worked for a company that I disagreed with on some policies. In particular, I'm very much opposed to software patents, while the company was lobbying for them. Not …

Renounce Warlock?
Quote From Zwane

I thought the idea was to give that card to your opponent and then play Unseen Saboteur

I can't think of a practical way to do that, not even for a meme …

Brian Kibler No Longer Comfortable Casting Grandmasters Finals at BlizzCon, No Involvement Going Forward

BlizzCon is in 3 weeks. If they don't change their position, they'll have some very awkward moments there.

Quest Warrior

Playing only one [card]Sul'thraze[/card] feels weird to me, since that together with the quest and [card]Armored Goon[/card] is the core of the deck.

I had [card]Hench-Clan Thug[/card] and also [card]Dread Corsair[/card] in an earlier version of my quest deck, …

Hearthstone Grandmasters - The Lead-up to Relegations, Problems with the System

Firebat brought this up a while back on Omni/Stone: tournaments have top-heavy prize money to attract attention, but as you said the skill difference between the top players is a lot smaller than the differences in prize money. The current …

Could Hearthstone be Looking to Reduce the Cost of the Classic Set?

They've been nerfing Basic and Classic cards that show up in decks too often, to make sure new expansions actually lead to a different meta each time. Fewer powerful cards makes it less attractive to get Classic packs.

I …

Could Hearthstone be Looking to Reduce the Cost of the Classic Set?

Most tavern brawls reward Classic packs and there is also the spectate daily quest. So it's probably around 55 free Classic packs per year. More if you get lucky with Twitch drops for playoffs/finals.

I've been playing almost non-stop …

Dave Kosak on Tombs of Terror Randomness, Bartender Bob, Zephrys’s Lamp Easter Egg

I much prefer the 300 health bosses. If you get a great deck, you can defeat them in one go. But if your deck isn't so great, you can at least achieve something. In one case, I knew my deck …

Priest - Nerf or Overhaul?

Players hate Anduin? Wow. ;)

I think something should certainly be done about [card]Northshire Cleric[/card], since all the other OP 1-drops have already been nerfed. The question is whether it will be nerfed to cost 2 mana or sent …

Tombs of Terror: Final Murlock Boss

I beat him on the first try with Finley and the treasure that gives all opposing minions -1 attack. During the 200-100 HP phase I managed to get more murlocs on the board than the boss, so the golem's deathrattle …
