I was losing anyway, but careful if you're playing Thorim if you have any cards that buff the cards in your hand b/c I was unable to play my free card because of it -- yknow, the entire reason you pick him as your BG hero anyway

I’m torn on Tier 7 minions: might be fine and even preferable to Triple into them but not sure if you’d ever spend the money to get there specifically unless it’s very late.

When I saw the "Locations from the future" thing I thought it was going to be some of the alt-futures in WoW but it's actually hints at upcoming HS content.

The placers are Mulgore, a netherspace ship, Suramar, Lordaeron, the Earthern Realm (so we might get the conspicuously absent Therazane), Pandaria and the Dragon Isles.

The anomalies gimmick is in general pretty fun. I like knowing it up front during hero selection, that was a good call I think.

I don't like the "get a random treasure every turn" one. Things just go completely nutty for some and I get stuck with ones that barely do anything the turn I get them on.

Can I stop getting Might of Kaz’goroth please? Had it like 5 times now.

Btw it bugs out Flourishing Frostling because it “sets” its attack and it stops growing.

I’ve easily has Might in 1/3 of games. I think they screwed up the “increase the chance” of Norgannon and did Might instead.

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
I had "set health to the highest of your two end minions" first, so obviously a naga player had silly health pools. Currently doing "get two of the first minion you buy" and it's golden minions everywhere

This happened to me on Android around tavern brawl reset, not sure if it was related. Just waiting like a (literal) minute to reconnect seemed to be the ticket and left me about 10 seconds to do my turn. No I didn't win, why do you ask?

The biggest scam you can shoot for is Symphony of Sins into draw a 3 mana Sargeras. Not sure about the Loken in this deck, I grabbed it off reddit somewhere. It's probably not required, but can be cool to tutor one of the other legendaries.

Stuck at Gold 2. These rogue mechs are still crazy OP as a DK. I just can't get rid of their early mechs fast enough and before I know it they have like 3 magnetized effects working with some other card that makes even more magnets and then prof putricide making concoctions.

Unfortunately DK just doesn’t have a good laddering deck right now. Hunter or pure dude pally would let you climb much more easily. Maybe even control priest if you were facing mostly mech rogues.

All of you seem to be having fun with current BG so I decided to try it out.

Most of the time I hit the play button and it just kicks me back to the previous screen. Sometimes it tries to load a game forever. I will try again later.

So far this is my take:
Attack/health swap: Meh
Attack/health matching: Meh
All cards are gold: Can be fun but also can get too crazy with some tribes.
Tier 7: Fine but lasts too long, should reduce the cost of upgrading instead of giving more armor
Darkmoon prizes instead of higher level minions: Good, changes the play pattern in an interesting way.
Start with 10 gold: Fine, makes the match go quicker.
Start on Tier 2: Meh

Haven't seen 1 tribe only.

"minions cost 1 but sell for 0" is pretty cool. significantly changes how you play

Elysium

I like the length of the tier 7 matches. Not that every match should be that long all the time, but it really reduces the number of times you are like “man I just needed that ONE MORE TURN to get my engine going, what a waste of a match”. Now you have the time, and if you never get anything going that’s on you. Sure, someone probably got better poo poo going than you and you lost, but you still got to at least do “something” compared to those regular matches where you just died and never even got a look.

I feel like Naga should be banned from the ones that change the end minions' attack/health to match. It basically overrides the temporary spells and yay, free stats.

It’s me, I’m the guy quitting Might of Kaz’goroth every time.

I’ve played a good number of the anomalies so far but there are still a few I haven’t gotten. Here’s my thoughts and the approximate number of times I’ve had each.

Prudence: 0

Anti-Grav: 1, this was fine but honestly just made very little difference really

Might: 10, WHY IS THIS SO COMMON

Fortitude: 0, haven’t gotten but can’t be too different than might so probably boring

Money: 3, Decent, but once the meta is a little more established on the best way to balance upgrading tiers i think it will even out to be less interesting

Denathrius: 1, boring. The great part of the quest system was matching your quest to your hero power to get busted poo poo. Just quest for everyone is not interesting.

Uncompensated: 1, really interesting

Secrets: 10, great change of pace. gently caress amalgadon

Transient: 0, havent played but it’s probably fun

Nguyen: 1, you are Nguyen so of course its fun

Buddies: 1, pretty fun, but oh man how many times can you get hosed by the other guy having the gold summon 6 minions guy? Like every turn thats how many times. Really hard (but fun) to establish an actually build and not just ramble randomly.

Oops: 2, sucks

Faire: 2, it’s fine, and you will definitely forget you are not getting a minion minimum 2 times

Finicky: 2, I think this is actually underrated as a “just slightly throw off the normal build orders” change of pace

Packed: 0

Double: 1, loving nuts lol

Echoes: 0

False: 0

Grapnel: 3, a fun accelerator of tavern tiers because you can upgrade at full gold and still get a minion

Golden: 1, loving NUTS
