Allright, they're probably hotfixing scabbs out of BGs for a bit https://clips.twitch.tv/FunElatedGooseFUNgineer-2QaTrv0h6Fnzkr0D Somebody else turned into a useless adventure version of Onyxia too. This version of Nefarion gave a ton of armor each turn

In other broken BGs news, Tamsin and Illidan can make Blanchy reborn infinitely. It happens if their hero powers remove its reborn at the start of combat, and it then gets reborn from Soulsplitter in the next start of combat phase. The reborn that gets applied counts as an enchantment, making Blanchy get it back every time it is reborn. Edit: They removed those heroes, plus some others. I guess your opponents can only do this to you if you're Tavish now Luff fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Jan 18, 2023 |

 That didn't take long (first game of the patch). Putricide rocks. (the other 1st place was a crazy elementals non-murlocs game where I got Secret Sinstone and nobody could get past a 400-health golden Garr)

Undead is super overpowered. It’s like they saw what a mistake it was to release DK on the weak side, and went way too far in the other direction, even relative to how op new tribes usually are on release. The permanent buffs wherever a minion is, is such a strong mechanic. Forget eternal knights, if you don’t get them, go Anub’arak and have 1 drops with 50 attack that reborn into another 50 attack minion. I killed all 7 players in the lobby doing 20-32 damage a turn. I had 2 of the divine shield reborn minions that could kill off entire late game boards by themselves.

the real crime is locking all of those actually good looking portraits behind bgs (and the separate bg battle pass) and making folks pay for the crappier ones in the shop instead...

I'm not sure why that would be, but the sentiment is out there.. They changed the reward for the Heroic Brawliseum by the way. Now you just have to win 3 games total across any amount of runs to get the hero portrait, instead of having to get to 3 wins in one run.

AFAIK the app quickly simulates 1k games and just gives you the percentages of win/tie/lose so it is technically possible to lose with 100% chance. It just feels worse though.

My whining in this thread aside, I've generally been pretty happy and continuously engaged with Hearthstone over the last 9 years. Whenever one mode would get stale or crappy I'd find fun in another until a nerf or meta shift. I think this is the first time that Arena, Duels, Standard, and Wild all feel like a drag simultaneously and that makes me sad. Maybe I need a break.

I'm not sure why that would be, but the sentiment is out there.. This is all 3rd party stuff by people who don't have access to the HS codebase. It's a simulation, not actual odds, and if 1 or more cards aren't coded 100% correctly in the sim, the whole algorithm breaks down. Give them a few days to catch up, same as every patch (it took them weeks to get quests mostly right).

Yeah the win percentage is usually just wrong for a few days/weeks. I normally just turn it off for a few weeks after a new patch. Seeing 100% and losing is still frustrating even if I know it’s wrong.

I used to cheese this out with demon hunter cards that did gently caress all unless you attacked this turn but DK corpse caring cards are much simpler and not weak to rogue/druid

Gnolls should just say non-Rogue cards and the class will be fine. Probably put the dust refund on Maestra too but that one change fixes Rogues.

As Kibler pointed out, if you broke the Maestra interaction you could even buff Gnoll. Gnoll is cool if it’s the payoff for playing Jackpot and Tooth of Nefarian and Reconnaissance. It is not cool if it’s the payoff for replacing the worst card in your deck with a Bloodfen Raptor. There must be some weird technical reason this is hard to do, because “Rogue cards don’t count even when disguised” is such an obvious solution that it’s baffling they haven’t done it yet. bravesword fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Jan 20, 2023 |

Honestly, I wouldn't even mind if Gnoll was something like "costs one less for each card you've had in your hand from a class that isn't your current class". I can live with Rogues sometimes having a single free 3/5 with rush if it has to be the first rogue card they play and they need to generate more cards to make it work after that.

I think concoctions will be the only fun mechanic for a while, so I think it should keep. Maestra/Gnolls-interaction was dull even last winter so I hope they nerf it for the remainder of Standard and let Rogue have something come next expansion.

This tavern brawl is pretty good for doing your Noz quest if you haven't yet. Quick games Also, this was a funny way to win a lobby. The scary opponents got knocked out by high attack token undead players who tempoed with Anub + handless, so my kaboom bot just cleaned up, somehow  Dino was almost useless at the end, but I needed one proc on the cleave
