Yesterday I played Casino Mage and discovered discounted Jive Insect and Criminal Lineup and OTK'd my opponent from nearly full health after clearing their board:

My highlight today: A sludge lock who for some reason also ran Sargeras. I reno'd his board and he started to spam "Thank you" before slamming said Sargeras onto his 1-slot board. Whoops, no portal. Shame concede.

Desert Bus posted:I am so loving tired of Time Warp Mages. they need to nerf that or Rommath or the 4 spell cost that gives you copies? With the Harth Stonebrew card, they implemented a nice restrictive "mechanic" where an effect is limited to once a game. Something like that would be great for a few cards like that. Or something to prevent recursion of broken effects. For example, Ice Block could be "if your hero takes fatal damage and wasn't immune on your last turn...". Or Time Warp could say "If it was your opponent's turn last turn, you take an extra turn". Stuff like that to keep the spirits of the cards but prevent abuse.

Looking at the new event quests got me thinking about the history of Hearthstone, so I decided to rank the Hearthstone years. 8) Gryphon (2021) The absolute nadir, the only one that was bad enough to make me step away from the game for an extended period. Barrens was all right, but starting with Stormwind the design ethos of “I’ve got a cool thing I want to do and my opponent’s job is to sit there and politely applaud while I do it” completely took over the game. A format totally about ignoring your opponent and playing solitaire. Alterac Valley remains the only set I completely skipped until the format rotated and I got back into the game. Looking through these three sets is like a who’s who of cards I can’t believe they thought it was okay to print. If it gets this bad again, I’m done. Also, it wouldn’t have mattered if the gameplay was better, but I found the Warcraft nostalgia theming exceptionally boring, and the mercenaries were way too generic to carry a whole year of cards. 7) Raven (2018) It’s interesting how different the two worst years were from each other — Gryphon was a high-power format with a lot of flash, while Raven was extremely low-power with on-rails deckbuilding and meat-and-potatoes gameplay. It just goes to show that power level doesn’t completely determine if a format is good or bad. Raven was dominated by Genn and Baku, which were two of the worst mistakes ever printed. They combined an extreme deck building restriction with a consistent payoff that was nonetheless extremely boring with little strategic variety, and since everything else going on was so weak, they overwhelmed every other deck. Very few fond memories of this format; I rank it ahead of Gryphon only because you usually at least got to play your cards rather than watch your opponent have fun. 6) Kraken (2016) Honestly, I think Gryphon and Raven were the only truly bad Hearthstone years. Everything else is okay at worst. Kraken was the first Standard year and it was clear they were still working out the best way to manage it, as class balance was extremely wonky this year. Mostly I remember it for two decks — Aggro Shaman during Karazhan and Jade Druid during Gadgetzan — being allowed to run rampant for months on end. This was back when Blizzard still wanted the cards to have a feeling of permanence and were reluctant to do nerfs, but it meant you got to face the overtuned decks every other game while they were agonizing over what to do. 5) Wolf (2023) …But maybe I’m a big ol’ hypocrite, because my big criticism of this past year is that they’ve been too aggressive with nerfs, too willing to immediately kill cards based on player sentiment rather than letting the meta settle. Some of these murders I was happy to see (they could price Dew Process at ten mana and I’d buy them a drink) but others felt premature or unnecessarily punitive. The actual sets were mostly fine this year (although some specific class directions were head-scratchers), but they could never resist the urge to tinker. 4) Mammoth (2017) “Classic Hearthstone” at its peak, in my mind. Good class diversity and a lot of fun individual decks and cards. I could push it higher, but the emergence of the deeply unfun Cube Warlock deck right at the end of the year soured a lot of my memories of the format. 3) Hydra (2022) Probably my single favorite Standard format of all time was Castle Nathria. I played so much of that format, and it was such a blast — neither too fast nor too slow; the board was important but not so much so that you were doomed if you fell behind; enough lethality that long games didn’t turn into value grinds but not so much that the entire rest of the game felt pointless. I’d put it at number one if March of the Lich King didn’t suck so much, but alas. 2) Phoenix (2020) Demon Hunter was laughably overpowered right out of the gate, but after they got it under control the rest of the year was really solid. Scholomance and Darkmoon Faire were both great sets, and there was good deck diversity all around. This was the first year I could remember Blizzard nerfing something and thinking it seemed unnecessary, because even the most powerful cards and decks didn’t bother me that much. 1) Dragon (2019) Nobody seems to talk about Dragon as a great Hearthstone year, but it’s an easy #1 for me. Three great sets, very strong balance beginning to end, every class got something cool to do. It even had fun theming and good PVE content. I think the most annoying deck was, like, Quest Priest? Just a very fun format to play over and over. I guess my controversial Hearthstone opinion is that, Gryphon aside, the second half of Hearthstone’s lifespan was way better than its first. Also, if you want a good year, cold-blooded and scaly; if you want a bad one, feathers.

Agreed with Dragon and Phoenix being a standout couple of years. Rise of Shadows, Scholomance, and Darkmoon are three of my very favorite sets. Galakrond was imo just OK even though it produced one of my favorite decks (dragon hunter)

The first time you get an infection you learn how to stave it off. The second time it's far less dangerous.

Is it just me or is Flash Sale, like, incredibly good? It’s basically pre-nerf Herald of Nature with no deckbuilding requirements, in a class that can easily flood the board.

bravesword posted:Is it just me or is Flash Sale, like, incredibly good? Two big differences: The first is the mana cost. 4 mana vs 3 mana is a pretty big deal, especially for aggressive cards that want to leverage a wide board. The second is more unique to paladin, which is that because so many of their small efficient minions have divine shield, they actually prefer to take attack buffs rather than health buffs. It's a decent card but I certainly wouldn't consider it broken or anything. I think the best comparison card is Crusader Aura, which I think is still the stronger choice

Is this correct? It felt wrong… Warlock has a 1/1, plays the ‘Gain +3/+3 until next turn’. I do 3 damage to it, so it’s 4/1. Next turn, it returns to 1/1 rather than die? I get both interpretations of the effect are possible, just that doesn’t seem to work the way it describes it.

Shockeh posted:Is this correct? It felt wrong… it's a bit awkward but I find it easier to remember if I think of the effect ending as "setting the max health back to what it originally was" since max health and current health are two separate things that hearthstone tracks

Shockeh posted:Is this correct? It felt wrong… This is the kind of thing that confuses you if you’ve played other card games, because Magic does it one way and Hearthstone does it the other. Back in vanilla I remember being baffled that killing my opponent’s Stormwind Champion didn’t kill their damaged 2/1. (I also suspect this is the reason Hearthstone doesn’t do much in the way of temporary or conditional health buffs anymore.)

to be fair (tm), the reason mtg has it different is because mtg doesn't have persistent damage between turns as a base rule where hearthstone does. if you have a creature with, like, seven toughness in mtg and five damage marked (because it blocked that turn), you can then give it -3/-3 with a spell and it'll suddenly have more damage marked than it has toughness and it'll die.

I mean giving something +3/+3 till next turn and then doing three damage to it also won’t kill it in magic. Unless you mean giving something +3/+3 and then doing three damage to it but faster, then it’s dead.

He will almost certainly be unnerfed with the next patch, and we'll have a few days with him at least. I predict the following reverts with the Whizbang's Workshop patch: Sunken City: Multi-Strike Predation Lady S'theno Herald of Nature Miracle Growth Spitelash Siren Lightray The Garden's Grace Shattershambler From the Depths Nellie, the Great Thresher Pufferfist Castle Nathria: Sinful Brand (partial?) Relic of Dimensions Wildseeds (partial?) Boon of the Ascended Necrolord Draka Scribbling Stenographer Vile Library Sire Denathrius March of the Lich King: Blightfang Construct Quarter (partial?) Shockspitter (partial?) Halduron Brightwing Hope of Quel'Thalas Faithful Companions Arcane Wyrm Feast and Famine The Purator Thori'belore There's some other stuff that they could conceivably revert, but that I don't feel as confident about, like Astalor and Sinstone Graveyard. Then there's stuff like The Jailer and Dew Process that are too spicy even for Wild, so they'll probably get left alone. The big wild card, to me, is Prince Renathal. He's being played in Wild as-is, so there's no real reason to revert him, but I could see them do it anyway. The other major one is Thaddius, Monstrosity. I expect they'll do something with him before he rotates, but I have no idea what.

Demon Hunter seems like it’s going to be real bad after rotation. The weapon is strong, and I think the Spellstone is actually quite good, but the rest of it seems like generic filler. How do you settle on Big Demons as the expansion archetype and only print an eight-mana Hellfire to go with it?
