What do you have in ETC?

oh, huh, guess it formats the list weirdly when I just copy and paste. ETC has the Steamcleaner, Rivendare and Theotar. Rivendare has won me zero games and should probably be something else. I'd consider a Wing Welding or Starfish - or maybe drop ETC entirely for one of those two

battlegrounds season 5 announced https://hearthstone.blizzard.com/en-us/news/23987536/announcing-battlegrounds-season-5

an "anomaly" system will be added - one random rule per game that applies to everybody - launch will have 20, with more gradually released until the total is over 50. examples include "start the game at 10 gold," "everyone's hero is denathrius," and "start with 10 extra armor and tier 7 exists." that last one will appear 5x more often than average and has its own set of minions etc

Starting at 10 gold sounds a little too insane. The mutator idea sounds conceptually fine but they really went with some dramatic ones.

i don't think making bgs even more highroll rng is going to help... i've seen so many games where it's already a busted lobby as soon as hero selection is over. this newest "addition" isn't gonna make it any better. they need to fix a number of things, including the lovely heroes nobody wants to play and waste their time with.

lots of info about Battlegrounds, Wild (including a Wild-only set), and Twist, and buried at the bottom are upcoming balance changes for Standard

quote:

Hollow Hound

- Old: 3 Attack, 6 Health
- New: 3 Attack, 4 Health

Costumed Singer

- Old: 2 Attack, 1 Health
- New: 1 Attack, 1 Health

Bioluminescence

- Old: 3 Mana
- New: 4 Mana

Thaddius, Monstrosity

- Old: Taunt. Your odd-Cost cards cost (1). (Swaps polarity each turn!)
- New: Taunt. Your odd-Cost cards cost (4) less. (Swaps polarity each turn!)

Down with the Ship, Mythical Terror, Frost Lotus Seedling, Disciple of Amitus, Tyr, Astral Automaton, Felstring Harp, Bladestorm, Craftsman’s Hammer, Stoneskin Armorer and Trial By Fire getting buffs

e: the Wild-only set is also implemented for Twist which makes it slightly more relevant. Some truly crazy buffs in that set and some funny ones like ball of spiders from 6 to 3 mana

I was already on Arcane Secret being the best hunter deck and it doesn't run hounds. The Costumed Singer charge barely changes the math on the deck, so that's the easy one to beat coming out of this patch.

Mixed feelings about the new Twist format, for a very personal reason: the sets here comprise the time when I was a pure free-to-play Hearthstone enjoyer, so my collection has a lot of holes from this period. (Gadgetzan is literally the first Hearthstone expansion I spent real money on.) While it’s somewhat nostalgic to have the “oh poo poo, can I actually build this” feeling again after having a basically complete collection since 2017 or so, I kind of have to ask myself if this is something I want to actually invest in. Especially given that once this season is over, these cards go back into the Wild-only mothballs, and Wild sucks.

…Still, the lure of Jade Golems or Dragon Priest might be too much to resist. Plus, a lot of cards in this format have been buffed or had their nerfs reverted since the last time they were constructed-relevant. Hmm.

No Wild is good! Casual Wild is the best format in the game.

Some notable wild buffs - that said I don't know that any of these are good enough to get played competitively:

Hunter:
Acidmaw: [3 Mana] Whenever an enemy minion takes damage, destroy it.
Dreadscale: At the end of your turn, deal 1 damage to all enemies.

Mage:
Flame Lance Deal 25 damage to a minion. (Paging Markmckz)
Servant of Yogg-Saron Battlecry: Cast a random spell that costs (5) or MORE (targets chosen randomly). (lmfao)

Priest:
Convert [3 Mana] Put a copy of an enemy minion into your hand. It costs (1).

Rogue:
Blade of C’Thun 6 Mana

Neutral:
Worgen Greaser 6 Attack, 5 Health (lol)
C’Thun 8 Mana

Just put your opponent at 25 (or set up spell damage) and silas an ashtounge to them that you hit with a lance after getting a couple of mana reductions. Easy peasy :v:


Also aviana+kun is back. Druid moved past it in terms of mana cheating but hey throw another 20 mana refill on the pile why not

This twist actually sounds like something I want to play, mean streets of Gadgetzan was one of my favourite metas.

Don’t know that costumed singer needed a nerf. Hound possibly did and the nerf it got was mild and reasonable, I don’t think it makes much difference to hunter for eg.

I like the Paladin buffs. Makes me want to try out those cards in a pure Paladin.
