Yeah, like, if Big Astalor and Trenchstalker aren’t breaking anything with Brann, it’s tough to feature Boom doing so.

Worryingly, the preorder bundles also give you access to an epic card that is exclusive to the bundles until the expansion releases. I can’t say I like the precedent this sets.

precedent corridor sleeper's setting is a little worrying but I don't have anything insightful to say about it so here are a couple images of the reveals today toyed with a handbuff dk for a few seasons before rainbow became not poo poo, definitely gonna try it again also apparently harth replaces your hand with a random one of thirteen 8-card hands (10 non-DK classes + 3 DK hands for the 3 runes) and this is the warrior one. we're so back

The new discover a 4 mana 7/7 card sounds cool in theory, until you realize that you actually spent 7 mana on it like a fool. I love the new build-a-zilliax though.

Willing to bet Incredible Value originally was 2-mana to match Faceless's overload but 7/7s being coined out on 3 was a problem, somehow

Thinking of coming back to this game after several years off... Should I wait until the next expansion goes live? I know there's catch up packs, new "core" system, etc, if I get a bunch of catch up cards now are they just going to rotate out in a few weeks?

Jeza posted:Funny happenstance that it's the 10th anniversary but I uninstalled and doubt I will be back. I exclusively played Arena which was very much the ugly duckling gamemode so I can't speak to the health of other gamemodes, but the declining playercount and the swinginess of newer cards (+ a few other bits and pieces) has slowly sucked the fun out of Arena. I appreciate this post. I was an Arena main too until Duels came out. Not as good as you (my average when I tracked was 6.8) but I felt the change in realtime and it slowly pushed me away. I like being able to win more by being clever on the fly with bad cards (starting with booster drafts in MTG/SW:CCG back in the day) without paying a bunch for whatever the FOTM list some pro put together to play Standard or Legacy. I wish Arena had a free mode like Duels did - maybe that's why they killed it. Anyway pre-coffee rambling but I feel you.

Yes, there's about to be a huge rotation where roughly half of the cards you can open will be retired from the main format. Definitely wait on opening any packs

Catchup packs aren’t gonna change set contents when the format rotates, they are locked to the expansions they do now. The question with them is will they bring out new ones before the 3rd expansion in the year (imo probably not, it’s simpler to just copy the 5 old sets thing and that means waiting a year since the first one). The only packs I would hold off on opening at the moment are Standard packs. The expansion xp rewards track is also front loaded so I would recommend playing now rather than waiting a month to touch the game even if it means mostly playing battlegrounds. If you choose to/accidentally get a free deck I would recommend the Warrior or Death Knight decks, both are close to a strong standard archetype and have 2 legendaries that will survive rotation.

There's a new "Mystery" coming up, with a card back reward. First part has been found, it's a minigame launched by going to Options -> Miscellaneous -> Credits and clicking in the lower left corner of the credits canvas. This will launch a board where you will be presented with two cards and you have to pick the "older" one. There is a faint embossed expansion logo behind each card text that can help, but sometimes it's hard to make out, so good luck. To make matters worse, there's also a rope burning on each pick. You need to get ALL of them correct to solve this step. For reference, here's the chronological order of the expansion releases. https://twitter.com/agepatterson/status/1757747172282626181 And this is the card back so you can decide if you want to jump through a bunch of hoops for it.

Another one has been found: Go to Solo Adventures (or just the "Hearthstone" game mode screen), click on the "?" at the bottom for the Tutorial mode. Skip to page 3 of the tutorial introduction pages and click on the little rivet in the top right corner to launch the "Guess the card" mini-game. Pick a card and drag it to the correct minion. Unrelated: So close, yet so far

Thanks, so if I'm understanding correctly, the "catch-up packs" contain cards from specific expansions regardless of when I open them. They also give more cards based on how many I'm missing, so I want to open them first. I think I am going to be given some of these for logging back in, or maybe it just means I have the option to buy them? "Standard packs" are the new default packs (did this replace Classic packs), they can contain any card from the current expansions? I should open these last and ideally wait until the new rotation happens so I'm opening cards that will be legal for a year. "Classic/Basic" is gone entirely, instead there is "core" which is a curated list of past cards (and you get all of these guaranteed if you level enough)? Sorry for all the questions but I've been browsing a lot and am still pretty lost. Last time I played was in 2018 with the odd/even sets with Genn Greymane.

Yeah, the core set is just a set of cards that changes yearly (but doesn't change that much yearly) that you automatically have for that year but you'll need to craft or open those cards if you want to use them once they leave the core set. Again, it's the same role as the old classic/basic set but without tying everyone's baseline card quality to cards that were made at the launch of the game. When deciding what order to open packs in, make sure you go from specific to general. So, you want to do something like:
Anyway, I believe packs' contents are determined when you open them and not when you buy them, thus if you wait until rotation they should only give you cards in the current standard and not cards from the rotated year.

Basically, you want to save Standard packs (and class packs, if you have any; they come with the hero skins you can buy in the shop) until after the next expansion launches on March 19, because at that point they’ll only contain new cards. Every other kind of pack has locked-in contents, so you might as well open them now and see what you get.

I got to try the quest reward that discounts tavern spells by one in a quillboar + lubber lobby today. One lubber was enough to go infinite on tier 3 and steamroll the lobby from there. Absolute nonsense. Can't believe they printed that quest. At least it's fun to play

I saw street trickster from both caverns of time and mean streets of gadgetzan, for example. I can only assume there's something more going on here, but whatever, I did it

I continue to loathe how every other control deck in the game outside of Priest gets to have a guaranteed wincon, and Priest is expected to just... get lucky with stealing the opponent's. Or manage to hit exactly right on every single disruption piece they can jam in (which, mind you, are all neutral cards). And also do all that while having some of their very best cards (the highlander package) get entirely invalidated by one of the most popular and strongest decks in the meta (plague DK). And, worst of all, be universally hated because that very lack of any actual way to win means that Priest games are long, favored for literally anyone else they encounter, but when they do win it's purely through RNG bullshit they didn't put in their deck in the first place. It's definitely gotten worse as we move through the year, too. I really like some of Priest's cards (and especially from the last expansion), but each game is just miserable for both players. It doesn't help that apparently the matchmaker thinks "you must want to go against literally nothing but DK and Warrior, hope you enjoy 40 minute games where you know you're gonna lose by the minute 10 after The Inevitable Wincon comes out before you had a prayer to stop it".

Wild Legend is infested with real people playing Even Totem Shaman now that the Even Totem Shaman bots are gone. The games are better but it's a pretty brutal deck in the hands of an actual player. I'm not sure if this is better or worse.

On the one hand, I've reached diamond 10 for the first time ever in standard, having faced almost all bots outside maybe... 5-6 matches? And getting the reward is pretty cool. But at the same time, drat was it boring to go against asdsajifdhblui, 匹馬在浴室裡 , and [animal][color].

Yeah, if you wanna climb now you either play Even or something that can farm it. But yes, it's always been a ludicrously good deck with a human hand, which is what makes it so infuriating there's someone in the card design team who just keeps on knocking out perfect cards for it.

How is this game now? Am a little bored and thinking of dabbling in it again. Issue is, I quit last time because you sort of had to buy packs to get good drops to stand a chance of getting high ranks - is that still the case?
