Balance Changes Are Coming Next Week - Which Cards Are the Most Likely to Change?
They could make First Day of School 1 mana ‘Summon a random 1-Cost minion. Add another one to your hand’. That way it keeps the value while not guaranteeing an insane turn 1.

Top Standard & Wild Legend Decks - Forged in the Barrens Week 2 - April 2021
This is gotta be the saddest top meta decks report I’ve ever seen.
Lunar New Year Event - Legendary Quests (9 Packs), Three Kingdoms Hero Skins, Special Tavern Brawl - Coming February 9
These skins all look pretty sick, probably gonna get them all. I especially like the Warrior one, but who wouldn’t enjoy that thicc af Valeera as well?
Undocumented Patch Changes - XP Gain After Each Match, Achievements Are Less "Spoiler-y"
I’m pretty sure they fixed the Achievements interface, it’s not as laggy as it was, at least for me
Demon Hunter, Revisited: Analyzing the Impact of the Standard Nerfs
My main issue with this meta is the near total absence of Mage, Priest, Warlock and Druid. They all have some decks around tier 2-3, but that’s pretty much it. And while I enjoy the current meta and have a blast with ETC Warrior, I wouldn’t call it healthy.
Platebreaker is Finally in the Meta - Is Armor a Healthy Design in Hearthstone?
I think Armor is a good design for the game. But well, I like basically anything that gives Control advantage against Aggro, so this might not be true. But like, why do we have so many Neutral aggro cards and like not a single strong neutral heal/armor card? I miss Zilliax.
Best Hearthstone Old Gods Decks from Darkmoon Faire
I was so hyped for C’Thun when he was revealed… I nearly died of excitement when I actually opened that bad boy in Golden. I made a Control Shaman deck… And never was able to play him just because someone thought Tickatus is a fun and interactive card to print and every. single. time. I played against Control Warlock they destroyed at least one of my pieces…
Elements and Secrets – Madness at the Darkmoon Fair Mage Deck Theorycrafts
A Secret Mage list without Kirin Tor Mage. What is this world?
Jokes aside, I’m really hyped for Mage this expansion. Secret Mage was always my favorite archetype.
Galakrond, the Wretched
I actually think the power of this card is not the Galakrond himself, but the zoo-swarm value that the Invokers will produce when this is in your deck. That 3 mana 1/1 will at worst be a 3/1 that summons two 1/1 Imps – already better than Microtech Controller. The 3 mana spell summons two 2/1 Imps and gives your minions +1 Attack – isn’t that perfect for Zoolock? Not to mention the (4) 5/4 draw 3 if you’re Invoked twice. Galakrond Zoolock is definitely something I want to see.
Hunter in Rastakhan's Rumble - Do We Need Another Nerf Patch?
I personally think that the best way to nerf Deathstalker Rexxar is simply removing some Beasts from its buckets; the main candidates are Cave Hydra/Exploding Bloatbat and Vicious Scalehide, the first two being just too good combined with Rush or especially Poisonous and completely wrecking Control decks, while the Scalehide can be combined with something big or even the two ‘AoE’ beasts for massive healing against Aggro decks. Some other Beasts could also be removed, but these three are causing most problems. Also, they could just simply raise the card’s Cost to 8 mana – it would still be good against heavy control like Odd Warrior or Big Spell Mage while not doing basically anything against Aggro.
Stargodzilla - Secret mage
Masked Contender doesn’t play the Secret. Yeah, it says ‘Play a Secret from your deck’ but the real effect is ‘Put a Secret from your deck into the battlefield’. That means Secretkeeper won’t get the buff from Masked Contender because it doesn’t ‘play’ the card.
Undatakah Druid Deck List Guide - Rastakhan's Rumble - December 2018
Oh sorry, Keleseth can’t be played due to Oaken Summons. My bad.
Undatakah Druid Deck List Guide - Rastakhan's Rumble - December 2018
After the nerfs happened, 1) is the deck still viable? 2) is it actually possible to add Keleseth as they are no other 2-drops now?
Upcoming Rastakhan's Rumble Nerfs (December 19th): Wild Growth, Nourish, Level Up, Saronite Chain Gang and Leeching Poison
Well fu*k. I literally spent 2000 dust for Undatakah Druid YESTERDAY and 800 for Odd Pally a week ago. But still, I really like the nerfs. Also, it is pretty funny that a card that
once was a total trash packfiller (speaking of you, Leeching Poison) actually recieves a nerf. And I really like the fact that they actually made a rather different card of it, adjusting both cost and effect, not just nerfing the cost like they did with e.g. Giggling Inventor or Naga Sea Witch. Nice nerfs nevertheless.
Saronite Taskmaster
This is basically a much, and I mean really much, better Zombie Chow. Unless the enemy can buff the 0/3 in some way, this is like giving them 3 Health. Also, this fu*ks up Rez Priest and Taunt Druid. And enables a combo with Void Ripper. Good card.
Even Mech Hunter – Blizzard Off-Meta Report
I already have Rexxar and Deathrattle Hunter, don’t need this deck anymore.
Shriek
Wow, finally a card that lets you choose what to discard… or something like that. Nonetheless, discolock would like never work, and this is probably a garbage packfiller.
They don’t include the Pass in the preored because people buy it for packs – so for Constructed – and yet they include the Battlegrounds Perks and a Bartender skin? These literally have zero value to me and take space for some actually useful stuff – like the Battle Pass.
