I also think that they’re pushing too many skins / bundles / etc. lately, but keep in mind that design team which creates new cards, engineering team which fixes bugs and marketing/sales team which works on all the promos, bundles etc. are all separate. You can’t take a marketing person and tell them to help with bug fixing, for example. That would end up even worse, haha.

Yeah, they probably wouldn’t comission artwork like that just for a single blog post, so I’m pretty sure that some of them will be turned into portraits etc.

Well, not exactly. Mercenaries will be a part of this year’s expansions story – they will be back in 2nd and 3rd expansion, possibly even mini-sets, and will get their own PvE mode.

I’m pretty sure that they will also be present in Mercenaries game mode, but that’s a different thing. This blog post contains no info about new mode itself, but rather those characters.

Eventually we’ll get all the Rewards Track portraits anyway… after over 3 years worth of expansions, that is 😀

Yes, thanks for pointing it out!

However, a quick update: Section 4.3 of the rules state that MOBILE app should be eligible for drops. It’s just TV and “media device” apps that won’t work. At least that’s some good news 🙂

That’s a good point actually, I think that’s true and you need to watch it through web browser. If you watch it from apps, it won’t count.

Warrior went from one of the best classes to worst class in the current meta. I’m sure that things will change, but right now the class is doing very poorly.

You were right 🙂 It’s just that someone pointed it out to me on Discord and I fixed it soon after posting, but then it might take some time to update.

The deck is very, very fun to play, but I’m like 99% sure it will get nerfed and not sure if Lunacy will be the one targeted (there are other ways to nerf it – Incanter’s Flow, Refreshing Spring Water), so do it at your own risk.

They are bugs I’m pretty sure, but they just weren’t fixed by this patch. There will be more, 20.0 introduced a lot of bugs.

Yes, definitely, we just don’t know when it starts yet 🙂

Edit: Just to be clear, we do have a DATE for GM 2021 Season 1, it starts this weekend (April 9), we just don’t have exact times yet. We’ll post about it when we get official news.

It’s not that bad tbh, you can still leave the stream muted in the background. You just need to check after 2 hours and claim the first reward now.

I’ve asked the devs and they’ve said that it’s an intended behavior with caching… When logged in you should always see the newest content, but when logged out you get cached version instead. But has it ever happened before?

What do you mean?

I’ve heard a theory that they’ve added Pavel’s earning from one MT to Pavelingbook’s earnings when counting them, that would put Pavelingbook at #1, and it kind of makes sense.

If that’s true, then it’s hell of a stupid mistake, but not really “malicious” if you know what I mean. I have no idea why would they do it intentionally, like they have no gain in picking the wrong person at all.

Well I’m happy about meta “slowing down”, but I’m not happy about my opponent dropping 3 mana Watch Post when I have a hand full of minions and no way to clear it. Sometimes they create those non-games where I can just concede because they’ve won with a single 3 mana card, and that’s not healthy.

I think that they should be in the game, but they should be tuned down IMO. -1 Health on each would be a good nerf.

They do drop the correct cards (so original Classic) right now after the fix.

Update: At least should, but we all know that the game is extremely buggy right now.

Yes, the Brawl is currently bugged… 🙁

Can you check again please? Devs have tried to flush all caches.

Sadly, no, Core Set were never meant to be usable in Classic format.

It was clearly a business decision, if you want to play the format, you can’t use your free cards, but you have to get Classic packs or craft Classic cards instead.

What can I say, they wanted to monetize the new format somehow.
