Just look at Trumps latest Shaman draft and you’ll see that Kripp was wrong – things definitely COULD get worse.

But this might have happened before that hotfix, idk.

I’m fine with Shaman, too. 😉

But that setting is just so perfect for sneaky Rogues.

The fail is that there is no ‘anymore’.

‘I am f2p and farmed 12,4k Gold so far since KnC so I am fine and Blizzard will still not seeing a single dime from me (And I suggest the Playerbase to do so as well)’.

But as I wrote – discuss about things worth discussing. There are more important things about this game than good offers.

Happy gaming!

When, if not with this expansion!?

I’m crossing my fingers, too. Make Rogue great again!

The logic gets even better:

‘… and Blizzard will still not seeing a single dime from me…’

‘…while the only thing I ever bought are the adventures…’

There are things about HS that are definitely worth discussing – the Witchwood presale offer is NOT one of those things.

Would give a like for this comment if I could. 😉

And Ixilan was Un’Goro with Magic cards – I guess both companies pay close attention to what works for the other one.

Discard DK.

Battlecry: Summon all minions you discarded this game.

Remember my words. 😉

Finally we get to know why Fiery War Axe was nerfed to 3 mana … the missing piece for Baku Control.

I really don’t think Baku should be rated as high as Genn. More like 5/10 (but as you wrote: really hard to tell without knowing any new cards).

Good read! Thanks for that.

Sometimes I wonder who’s responsible for that top level marketing over there at that small indy company.

Sure, the tool could be amazing. But released only im China? Only for PC? Without any ‘official’ announcement? That is very unprofessional.

Same with the Year of the Raven stream … sure it’s okay to cancel it due to technical problems. But cancelling it without a new date? Am I the only one who’s checking the internet daily for any goddamn news regarding the new Hearthstone year?

And what do we get instead? Arena changes coming, yeah! But wait … WHEN will those changes happen? Hmm …

Regarding overcomplicated thinking: I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. 😉

Hi there!

Good analysis, thank you for it.

Some thoughts:

Nature’s Champion – Just wondering why you didn’t mention Battlecry?

Hand of Salvation – Maybe I have some screwed up logic here: If you absolutely need to kill 2 minions, start by killing the bigger one. If you don’t have to kill 2 minions, just kill the smallest non-deathrattle minion. Isn’t it just that simple and all the ‘playing around’ you need regarding HoS and Redemption?

And I really hope that some of those cards are not seen as often as Basics or Commons (Crackling Doom and Blazing Longsword, to be exact).

Happy gaming!

‘…it will also set the ‘power level’ of your deck equal to the power level of each of the 30 picks and there is nothing you can do about that…’

That’s a very relevant point – I wonder if the power levels of the 30 picks are somewhat equalized so that you’ll get a ‘normal’ deck regarding overall power level or if you could get extremely (un)lucky with your picks.

Regarding the ‘elimination of picking skills’ … I think that it actually is more interesting to decide between 3 equally powerful cards. As you point out it might take away the skill to identify the best card (tbh most of the time the best pick was clear anyway and many players use tools like HearthArena) but with this system you need more skill to identify the best card for your deck.

In other words: it takes different skills, not less skills imho.

Happy gaming!

Yeah, if nothing else works, a personal oppinion would be just fine. 😉

When first reading the first line about lowering the requirements to complete quests, I thought they meant the actual quest cards from Un’Goro … 😉

Well written!

One thing: What I’m always missing with this guides is the matchup percentages against the other top decks – yes, I understand that this means more work and less timeliness of data, but in my opinion this is the most interesting part.

You only need 7 Stonetusk Boars to take down N’Zoth. o.O

Never thought about how … erm … illogical that actually is.

What happened? Was he afk? 😉

It actually is not possible to win with druid. Well maybe if you’d play against druid and go first. Otherwise. No. Fucking. Chance.

I second that. Very solid and complete work!
