It’s not all positive, in fact during the full dust refund period, it’s all negative. It’s much better to get full dust so that you can craft the card you want rather than to get a random card that you’re unlikely to want and that you can’t get full dust from. Of course, outside of the full dust refund period, this new system is better than nothing at all, which is what we had until now.

No idea about the total number of players but there’s a very active community on discord and plenty of youtube content pretty much everyday.

This card is super OP in arena when played on turn 3. It’s hard to lose the game if not killed within a turn and with 5 health, that will be hard to do.

I wonder whether this might be playable in aggro DH. Definitely a premium arena card if nothing else.

Battlecries can never target themselves.

I’m sorry, this was meant as a top level comment, not a reply to another comment.

Someone at Blizzard doesn’t know the difference in English between amount and number, which is embarrassing. If it’s countable, it should say number. Up to 8 clearly indicates a countable quantity, so this should say “with stats equal to the number spent”. This is at least the second time I see this mistake in Hearthstone, the other being in Mercenaries if I remember correctly.

You should always keep all copies of all the good cards that you own. There is no limit. I’ve often disenchanted over 20 copies of a single card, all at full cost.

You’re right, I got them mixed up, my bad.

“Upgrade to Golden – You can now upgrade your regular cards to their golden versions for the Dust difference. For example, if you have a regular Legendary and you want to make it Golden, it will cost you 1600 Dust.”

You mean 1200, right?

You won’t meet him in ranked for obvious reasons, but on the 15th of each month, he’s quite present all day in casual.

Turns out you didn’t know the reveal date either, you only thought that you knew!

“While we don’t know the expansion’s reveal date”

You do, it’s in the title! I think you meant release date.

Probably because it makes them look more like a thing or a caricature than an actual person.

It’s like saying “the Donald” to refer to Trump. It’s a pejorative way of talking about a person.

Calling her “the Onyxia” is pejorative. This is a mistake Stonekeep makes all the time and one I’ve reported here in the past, but I think it’s the first time I notice it from you. In English, “the Onyxia’s lair” doesn’t mean “the lair of Onyxia”, it means “lair of the Onyxia”. The title should either say “Onyxia’s lair” without the preposition, or “the Onyxia’s Lair miniset”, in which case the preposition would then apply to the word miniset. There’s no way to make it apply to lair unless you remove the ‘s, but then you’d be using Onyxia as an adjective which is also wrong.

I hate this card. If they don’t ban it in Arena, it will create too many non-games. If you’re not dead on board and you play this, you auto-win.

Would be nice if Team 5 knew the difference between number and amount and worded this properly. Amount is for things you can’t count, like water (no such thing as two waters, three waters, but you can have a small or big amount of water).

You don’t know anything about how team 5 makes games. The people responsible for producing the content that will come out next year are not the same as the ones balancing and fixing the content that we have now. The design team and the final design team are completely separate teams. And yes, producing new expansions needs to be done this far in advance, to get final design and QA time to iron things out. As for bugs, do you really think it’s the designers’ jobs to fix them? That’s what engineers are for. And if you think you’re gonna get a game with zero bugs, good luck, that doesn’t exist, anywhere.

Rogue is not overplayed, it’s clearly the best class in the game right now if you’re good at the game. In fact at top 1000 legend, it’s currently over 50%.
