I think devs have clarified somewhere that it’s not based on your Wild bonus starts but on the internal Wild MMR. There’s a slight difference between those two.

E.g. one player gets to Legend and keeps winning with competitive decks. Another gets to Legend and plays meme decks, falls down to low Legend ranks.

Both players have 10 bonus stars (let’s assume that the first one didn’t cross 11 stars threshold) but their internal MMRs might be completely different. That’s because bonus stars are based on rank you get to not your MMR. So it looks like your internal MMR had to be lower than your star bonus.

Thank you, they might have not appeared for me because I already own them. I usually log in on my alt account with no cosmetics to check it, but yesterday was really busy and I forgot. I’ll update the post soon.

I didn’t see it yet, but I hope so too!

No problem, that’s why I’m doing them! 🙂

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking – they didn’t want to hit a brand new card and it’s a dual class card that’s also playable in Blood DK so it would be a nerf to that deck too (that’s the downside of dual class cards, it can be balanced in one while overpowered in another and nerfing it hits both classes).

I don’t think that 1 attack nerf is a big deal in this case anyway. Hunter might even be the best class after the patch, but we’ll have to wait a few days to see.

Hunter was one of the best classes in Standard after the mini-set, and weapon was played in almost every build. It was one of the highest win-rate cards in Big Beast Hunter (or however it’s called now, haha). And notably – Pure Paladin was its worst matchup, so with that deck out of the way it might be too strong.

It’s a small nerf anyway and both the card and the deck should still be good. Maybe even too good, we’ll see 🙂

It’s definitely a nerf, not a buff.

I never understood why they don’t just say when the offer is gone from the shop. They do in the Battle.net store, but not in-game.

We all know that they stay for roughly 2-3 weeks, so what difference would it make to just give us an exact date?

You’re right, I saw that it was already reported to Blizzard. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Sorry, we still don’t have a way to display ETC’s band in deck lists.

But if you click on any of the deck names and go to that deck’s page, a full ETC sideboard is in the deck’s description!

According to the patch notes, it’s permanent. So you will always be able to buy them with gold from now on.

Hey, I already did, thanks for noticing 🙂

I still think that Mercenaries had the best artwork. Which is funny because 99% of players newer saw most of the cool art used in that mode, lol.

Thanks for the ideas! Just a heads up, deck codes get cut in the comments and don’t work properly. You can add a break in the middle as a workaround (people will just have to paste it somewhere and remove the break and then copy the whole code).

But I added both of your decks to the post so people can copy from there.

My bad, for some reason I was 100% sure that the deck has Tony in it. But I fixed the name already.

I hope so too, but it seems like banning is a common Wild balance approach. At least temporary one until the card rotates out to Wild.

But I think they will just target Twig directly, at least for now. Because weapon tutor might be a bit problematic in the future for other decks too.

Yep, sadly it means that he’s quitting those podcasts. I’m sure that he’ll still appear as a guest from time to time (like many Team 5 members do) but no longer as a host.

Maybe they could do their official Hearthstone podcast with devs though 🙂 Now they have a perfect host!

Yep, one of my favorite Druid skins. Hope he comes back so other people can get him too!

Yes, but it’s not a Constructed format, as in you don’t use your collection to build Arena decks.

Thanks for the image, I’ll update the post soon!

And thanks again for the ideas. I’ll really think about covering the topics you proposed soon, there’s just too much work with the expansion’s release now 🙂
