The one time I complained about something being broken I never got a response but it was fixed in like a day? As much as it's fun to complain about all the fun ways this small indie game breaks they are pretty decent at swatting bugs.

Well, that's not too bad. Missing Stranglethorn, Astolor and one Barrel of Monkeys from the posted deck and Azshara and 1x School Teacher from the other. I guess being down two cards isn't much in either case but those are some pretty heavy cards.
School Teacher and Astalor are strong neutrals that fit into a wide range of decks and can make a significant impact on a game. Same goes for Amalgam of the Deep.

They are probably some of the safest things to craft.

School teacher is such an insane card. Games can swing just on dropping the drat 1-cost minion with the right spell attached to it.

yeah school teacher still feels out of line pretty often imo. should probably only discover 1s and 2s or maybe even only 1s (this kills the card)

Must be a rare bug, as I was playing as the new copy in hand hero today, had an end of turn effects twice minion and two of those ogres to triple 3 things on one turn and they didn't triple until the start of my next turn even though I had 2 copies of each in my hand and one of each on the board.

I played a game last night as Shudderwock where my Blood Gems were giving +3 / +24 before I rolled into a Golden Gem Smuggler. I won the stupidest game ever where basically nobody else thought to grab venomous; second place was Pirates and third was Demons. My simultaneously tiny and enormous Quillboars just slowly whittled down the huge guys on my opponents teams.

Some of you may have noticed that the first step of the Legendary Quest chain now only requires you to play 3 Heroic Brawliseum games, instead of win 3 Heroic Brawliseum games. Simply put, this was a mistake on our part. As initially announced, the intent was that the Frostmonger Sai Death Knight skin would be earned by winning 3 Heroic Brawliseum games.

We’ve decided not to change the Legendary Quest back to the original version this time. Frostmonger Sai will now be able to be earned by playing 3 Heroic Brawliseum games during this Heroic Brawliseum period, regardless of the outcome. The Crimson Knight Sai skin will still be available for the players who accomplish the incredible feat of 12 wins in one run, and we plan to continue to offer challenge-based prizes in future Heroic Brawliseums.

1k gold for a portrait and 1+ packs isn't the worst value proposition in the game tbh. Pretty funny how it happened.

Cut the nerfed naga package (Stheno, predation, dispose of evidence) and went more in on the Hawkstrider Ranchers (which are kind of nuts with this deck)

Biggest tweak that I think has been putting in work have been the Shambling Chows. They’re phenomenal for contesting 1 mana 1/2s, they’re a good turn 1 play just by themself, they’re insane with the ranchers, and they’re another good trigger for Halveria

The calamity’s grasp is very much a “I can’t figure out the 30th card so this will have to do” situation. I’m sure Astalor could do work there instead but wanted to try the weapon out (I tried a version with two copies of the weapon and two battlefiends but it wasn’t as good)

Completing the quest is not really the focus, it's just bound to happen. Sometimes you can pick up an echo of medievh or a potion of illusion with your spell generators, which can make you go infinite with grommash. A real thrill and my wet dream. Other times you can pick up a bunch of damage spells that hit anything and have yourself a little homemade rod of roasting finale. I love it.

New Shudderwock in Battlegrounds is so nasty. And surprisingly to me, it did a ton of work with Demons, not Murlocs. Got a first place without losing, just two ties when getting early tier upgrades. Started the first turn with a 4/6 “eat a minion” and snowballed from there.

In fairness, it was supposed to run last week, but it didn’t line up with the balance changes they’d queued up. And this is the same time the miniset releases every year. It’s like blowing all your money on December 18 and then being surprised you don’t have enough for Christmas presents.

I kind of get it. Three cards is a lot, and it's easy for weapons decks to end up with extra weapons you don't really need. (Especially when most weapons are 2/2s with benefits that drop off late game.)

But also... that just means optimized decks don't run many weapons, and all this does is make it safer to play heavy weapon strategies because you have an escape valve for excess weapons. There aren't enough payoffs for running that many weapons, so this is a tool waiting for a home.
