‘For instance, druid’s questline is 1 mana gain 10 armor and draw a card.’ Um… no, it’s not. Well, it’s the ‘reward’, of course, but to get that reward, you’d have to invest (with more mana, cards, actions, whatever). And most of the time, that investment is just too much to justify the reward.

That said yeah, most people only look at the ‘final reward’ and this is clearly the wrong way to approach Quest Lines.

Meet Stonemaul Anchorman’s new best friend. Cool card.

Upgrade for DR DH. I like it.

This looks so horribly bad that all I can do is asume this somehow will be the only playable Quest Line. 😉

Haha jeez I was like ‘how on earth is this card bad? It either reduces by 1 or – if you’re lucky – it’ll increase the reduction even further’ … 😀

The problems of non native english readers/speakers. 😉

Thanks mate for clarifying.

The obvious fact that this card is tradeable makes it better than one might think.

Haha, let’s build a less-good-but-way-more-fun version of Odd Paladin!

This card could be the incentive to play spells like Chaos Nova – a board control DH with spell based card draw and face damage mixed in, and Jace for the final blow.

Seems worth a try. 😉

Maybe this is obvious, but with enough mana, you can repeat ‘the first’ battlecry X times, right?

So with let’s say 7 mana, you play him, Promordial Dungeoneer (draw 4), Cagematch Custodian (draw 2 and a weapon)!?

How did you think it worked, then? 😉

Do we already know what the ‘increase’ is?

Well, the way Hearthstone is designed favors Aggro and Combo decks. There where times when control or midrange decks were on top of the meta, but those times are rare. 😉

I might seem overly pessimistic (and I still like Quests (Lines) – new and – old – very much) but I honestly believe that all the Quest Lines will be way to slow to be viable in ‘competitive’ HS play.

Slay the Hearthstone. Mark my words.

I just hope the rest of the world will be able to preregister, too. Because I want those shiny Mercenaries!

Yeah it kinda was a kill, you’re right. 😉

Ah the good old card kill nerfs. Didn’t see those for quite some time.

I could swear it was 1.800 EXP … hmm

8.4 … o.0

I don’t know any of those players. Seems like the Arena community is … well … somewhat separate from the other game modes. 😉

I can’t even remember playing that solo content. Wasn’t that good then, I guess. 😉

Thanks for clarifying!

My background is paper cards (MtG, who would’ve guessed 😉 ) and I’m pretty sure that every expansion, only a handful of cards see competitive play. On the other hand, there are WAY MORE cards in MtG than in HS, so competition is fierce. 😉
