The Evolve Conundrum
IMHO the shaman quest is a little too powerful/easy as well, especially in the presence of Lackeys. The simple reason is that the cards that you want to include in your deck to finish the quest are the same that will benefit from it. It’s just too good, especially in comparison with the other quests.
I agree Evolve was a very poor choice to include given that – but I reckon they should nerf the quest anyway (8-10 instead of 6?).
Top Standard Legend Decks From Saviors of Uldum - Week 11 (October 2019)
I think this meta s*cks. It’s like everyone is playing borderline broken cards (N’Zoth in particular) and if you play a “fair” deck you have no chance.
Official Blizzard Statement on the Grandmasters / Blitzchung Incident
Good call.
They had to make an example, HS is a game and not a platform to talk about these issues.
Hearthstone Legendaries You Can "Safely" Disenchant - Ashes of Outland - May 2020
I really hope they will buff those quests. It’s such a disappointment to open a Legendary, see it’s a Quest… and then realise it’s one of them…
What Are the Implications of the Recent Discover Mechanic Changes?
Actually it does affect Arena quite a bit too (Golden Scarab for example is a common pick).
Plague of Death
Massively overrated me thinks. Way too expensive to be useful… unless there is a way to reduce its cost or something that wants you to have expensive spells in your deck (spiteful summoner #2)
EVIL Totem
Sounds overrated to me… as if people underrated lackeys back in rise of the shadows and are now overcompensating…

The Winners and Losers of the Hall of Fame Announcement
I wouldn’t be so categorical. For a start, walk the plank will rotate whereas this will not.
Then how about using it on a divine shield minion? Or the possibility of bouncing it back to hand for value trading?
It’s still not a great card, but still…
The Dalaran Heist Guide – Chapter 3: Streets of Dalaran (Heroic Strategy)
I used Robes of Gaudiness (clearly OP) + Rush to all minions. Then I had Anubarak (8/4 deathrattle summon 4/4 and return it to hand) and the Undatakah…
They hardly ever touched me.
Tavern Brawl - Clockwork Card Dealer - Standard
Used this Shark Rogue for fun…
Try Eddie turn 3 to soak up any removal, then spirit of shark followed by Sharkie turn 5. You can give rush to Eddie or Sharkie through your tooth for impact.

Rise of Shadows Single Player Announcement Coming May 9
I was thinking the same, but then thought I needed the cards straight away. Will buy the single player with Real Money (after all, the devs have to eat).
Archivist Elysiana broke control matchups - but they can be repaired
Sure!
How about they ban it and nerf bomb damage too? Like 3 or 4…

I’m sorry but personally i just hate control. I mean, IMHO you should play a card game to interact with your opponent and make decisions. Midrange is the best because you never quite know when you need to attack and defend.
Anyway as I see it, Elysiana is just a punishment if you want to play control. Makes me want to stay out of it even more…

Sounds like quite a boring archetype to me… but I guess without DKs everything will be a bit underwhelming now…
Vereesa Windrunner
I think the fact that the spell damage is basically “on demand” makes this rather good (play the card and wait for the best opportunity to play the spells).
4/5

Not hating but… although I get mostly what you’re saying ($80 is a lot + solo not free), I disagree with the rest…
I mean, in terms of number of hours HS is by far the game I play the most… and I want them to continue developing it. So yeah, paying for a few cards every now and then seems fair enough.
Thanks – after reading the article I’ve crafted the card!
