Hearthstone

As a player who loves to build decks and loves to see a meta with a great variety of different archtypes, the first month of an new Expansion ist my favorite time of Hearthstone.

As time is passing by the meta settles and  most decks just differ by a minority of cards. Sure sometimes someone finds a new deck and the meta might redifine itself a little, but overall the game loses it's appealing character to adapt and improve your deck.

So my idea to keep Hearthstone fresh:

Add a rotating pool of cards to standard

• These cards are from the old expansions
• Everyone  can use them without having them in their collection (like a extra section of basic cards)
• Maybe 3-4 class cards and 10-20 neutrals?
• Time per cyle 1 month

This way the game would stay fresh between the release of new expansions, while Blizzard woudn't lose money and standard would stay balanced by their Definition.

What are your thoughts on my Idea?

Hey All!

Recently we got to enjoy The dungeon run-like Tavern Brawl with a golden copy of Recurring Villain, Bronze Herald and Rafaam's Scheme as a reward. After receiving these rewards I looked them up in my collection and was surprised to I see I got two golden copies of each. As I mostly play Arena anyway I dusted the non-golden copies of these cards and kept the golden versions. 

Just now I opened a pack with a Rafaam's Scheme in it and was about to dust it, but then I noticed that the second copy of the golden version is gone. Same thing happened with the other two cards. I only own a golden version of these two cards now.

Is it just me hallucinating or did anyone else had a similar experience?

So the hunter, a class that used to be limited to SMOrc-ing before turn 7 slowly got sweet cards that allows a much slower play. Coming up is Anti-combo Hunter which I really want to try out..

My question is what survival(Heal)/control tools are the most efficient, including wild, off course.

Plaguebringer, the card which replaced Vanish in the basic set, is in my opinion a very poorly designed card. Constantly with their talk about class identity, Blizzard talks about how the Basic and Classic sets should give new players a good example of what a class does and what it's strengths and weaknesses are in a fairly simple manner. The Basic set especially should be very easy to understand, since those are the first cards a new player will have access to. So why, then, does Plaguebringer make use of the Poisonous keyword when no other card in the Basic set mentions it? This would lead new players to believe that Rogues are good at abusing Poisonous minions, which hasn't proven to be the case. They only barely have the most Poisonous minions/generators of all classes (Rogue has 7, Hunter has 6, Druid has 5) and as far as I know, only one of which (Envenom Weapon) has seen any serious competitive play in Kingsbane Rogue. I would be fine if this card we're in the Classic set, but I think it's a very poor design for a Basic card.

I haven't done an Arena run in some time, as I'd been tryharding on Ranked and messing around with the Solo content. I figured I'd give it a go with the new card sets, and had a blast going up 2-0 to start.

The odd reaction? "Where's my loot card?" Not a suggestion or anything, just a funny thought that went through my head. Wondering if anyone else had such a thought.

I first started thinking about this after noticing that Disguised Toast was doing a card reveal (and how he has been rather out of the HS spotlight for the time being, at least until new content releases). Then I thought back to Savjz (who I used to consume his Youtube content regularly before he quit HS. Now, I'm not saying that all streamers are burnt out on the game or that they even dislike the game. Nor, am I saying that specific streamers such as Toast are necessarily burnt out, as opposed to just taking a break (although at times I wonder if he really enjoys the game as much as his persona tries to sell his HS content, but that is complete conjecture).

However, it led me to the question in the title. If a streamer did start burning out and for whatever reason (mostly money probably) did not just quit the game and move on to something else, then would their half-hearted image and involvement in the game really be more of a good thing? I can't help but feel it would just create a little bit more potential for negativity in the community, or at least the false impression that the average player doesn't have fun with the game if some of the streamers in the public eye are burnt out.

So after being disgusted by another hunter Venomizer+Missile Launcher I came up with the idea of above combo which should essentially give me the same thing for a whopping 10 mana. Any1 tried this? 

And how do i change the title of a thread I created? Now it looks horrible!

And I want to see his face when I counter his combo by my own combo. 

I recall the designers mentioning that new Lackeys would be introduced in the sets following RoS, but so far we haven't seen any. The five lackeys we have are each themed after one of the five ringleaders of the EVIL gang (Witchy = Hagatha, Goblin = Dr. Boom, Kobold = Togwaggle, Faceless = Lazul, Ethereal = Rafaam), which raises the question whether we'll see a full cycle of new lackeys, or only one (or two, or...), not to mention what sort of flavour this new lackey will have.

Personally I think we'll probably see only one new lackey, and it's likely going to be some denizen of Uldum that has sided with EVIL. Mummy Lackey maybe? Regarding the card's battlecry, I think the most obvious is "give a minion reborn".

I'm curious what's your opinion on new singleton cards added in Saviors of Uldum.

Considering Wild obviously.

In my view:

*Elise the Enlightened*

Nice value. And some combo potential. That's pretty much it. I don't see it being good enough to create Reno Druid.

*Dinotamer Brann*

Good addition to already playable Reno Hunter. Obvious 16 dmg potential finisher with older Brann. Besides it's good on its own. 

7 mana King Krush that can immidiately impact the board. Plus free 2/4 body.

It's my favourite new singleton card.

*Reno the Relicologist*

Beacause of Reno Mage already being good, that card will be playable. But... In my opinion it's a disappointment. Why? Old Reno was good enough to create a whole new archetype across several classes. I was expecting new Reno to be at least somehow close to that level. But Reno the Relicologist is JUST a good card. Nothing more, nothing less. Helpful in clearing small boards, low health minions.

*Sir Finley of the Sands*

If Reno Paladin will be a thing, new Finley will be played in it. It's good, it's an upgraded version of old Finley. It may win you some games with new hero power value.

But the question is... Will there be a Reno Paladin? I honestly don't see it being played in nearest future. Sir Finley of the Sands is not even close to being good enough to carry Reno Paladin on it's own.

A quick question - is there some sort of reward (other than the Saviors of Uldum pack for the first win) from this week's tavern brawl?

I am asking just because the 1st week of the festival gave us a legacy card back and 2 golden cards for the small "timed-run-achievements" and the 2nd week gave us another golden card for another small "achievement".

Thanks a lot in advance!
