Reporting from battlegrounds to say that early-mid game Voljin is broken as gently caress when your 1/1 kitty cats turn into 2/4s and 3/3s for free and you can flip a turn 4 Tidecaller straight from the tavern into a 7/4 (or more!) with two buys and a swap. This meta is kinda busted so far

He's broken late game too, as evidenced by my 117/125 golden zap that deleted half my opponents board in the last match. He really removes the low Stat penalty for menagerie/battlecry/nomi builds.

The situation is definitely lovely, but in terms of American (and many other countries') culture, it's par for the course. I won't back out of my UiS preorder, yet, but won't pay any more unless at least a few of the instigators are sufficiently punished.

Hell, at a previous workplace, a massive Title IX investigation was basically covered up. Since it was a contracting branch of the state university system, I obtained the report through the FoIA and released it to the media causing lots of stirring, but while a few token people resigned, the main instigator is still there because he makes contracting money. Many people in general are just bad, so I won't condemn Blizzard IF they remediate properly and timely.

The lawsuit is a last step after years of warnings, the only step Blizzard has taken in that time was quietly firing Alex Afrasiabi last June. He was apparently the worst(even the other executives nicknamed his office the 'Cosby Suite') but the complaint alleges violations at every level of the company.

Being sued by a state seems like a pretty big deal. Has that ever happened to a gaming company before?

The city of LA sued Rockstar over the hot coffee stuff in GTA3. It was eventually settled like 7 years later in an agreement that entitled every one that was offended could claim $35.

The cycle is BG gets its big patch about halfway through expansions so that theyvcan alternate the focus. The last BG update was the big minion revamp so I'd be surprised if too much was added, maybe a new tribe?

If they make it a 3/5 that's probably still very good without deleting the card. 4/4 would probably be too good still. Or just slap another mana into it but I don't think that's the way to go.

I feel like the stat line is fine, it's the mana cheat that's the problem. Just make the mana reduction work off either; other class cards currently in hand or cards added to your hand that didn't start in your deck.

- Tavish: his buddy (the crab) adds, eventually, double the value of the initial gunshot to its neighbors during combat. Which scales. So that combo is also very broken. (Bru'kan is easier to dominate the early game, though.)

Tavish is ridiculous if he can survive, I just lost to a ~3k life Tarecgosa because he had his crab buffing her and a gold tricky imp with a gold macaw and baron.

Is there some sort of bug with Tamsin's phylactery and the imp that shuffles in primes or casting phylactery twice?

I fired off two casts and got the envoy as the second death rattle but it never triggered.

Unless they've changed something recently, you can also open them in the current expansion's packs.

Yeah, though at least for Onyxia, buying the set doesn't count for dupe protection. If you buy the set and then a few packs the new rares and epics is super hi to show up.

Thinking more on it, Dredge seems kinda bad as a standalone card selection mechanic, as the 2nd dredge will presumably include the 2 cards you passed on already. Might be as bold as to say you'll only want it to enable the 'put an insane card on the bottom of your deck' cards. Makes me wonder how many Shuffle effects that see play are around as they might benefit from all this.

Yeah, I feel like it was designed to smooth out the rng of 'shuffle thuis into your deck' effects. Though it really should have a 'shuffle your deck' clause between the discover and putting the chosen card on top of your deck.

Isn't Queen Aszhara a hero portrait? Aside from the 10 characters they introduced for last year I thought they didn't like doing that and it's why Illidan stopped being a card when Demon Hunter was added.

Getting Altruis vibes from this, might be a strong finisher for fel/spell DH

It's basically flamewaker but you can buff the damage in a class with a lot of cheap spells.


New Rogue legendary

If you've summoned 8 other pirates plunder enemy:
Take their highest minion,
Take two cards from their hand or
Take 5 cards from their deck

Best case I can think of is throw it on a smaller minion so they can't value trade into a taunt without blowing up their other stuff? Ot would be better as a warlock card that only hits an adjacent minion but chains like defile.

I'm not sure it's in the general quest package, because everyone was down on it when it was spoiled, but Dragonbane Shot does heavy lifting for me. No one seems to play around it and just dump their 2 health minions on the board.

I know Nagas are broken right now in Battlegrounds, but even if they weren't I'm not sure how Queen Azshara's hero power wouldn't break them just by it's existence.

I dont know if it'll fix everything, but the 3 star siren that triggers every buff at end of turn needs to go. Breaks so much and turns off a lot of the decision making the tribe is supposed to be about.

I don’t think that’s as much of the issue as the interaction where the buffs that the 3* naga triggers activate the 6* naga that gives the permanent buffs

It also activates the 5* that also gives permanent buffs and the 6* that gives 1-2 free Naga and the Naga that buffs itself everytime a spell is cast. It also let's you drop buffs on the Naga that keeps them permanently without the downside of not using them on your other Naga and weakening your team. At the very least I think it should bump up to a 5* unit.

Theyre kind of a needle edge tribe where the space between useless and overpowered is too small.

Maybe I'm being reactionary, but I feel like Naga have killed my interest in BGs for a while. I've played them a bit, tried a few variations, won a couple games. Now I'm kind of bored with them but at the same time they're still kind of a steamroller so not playing as them feels like a guaranteed 5th place.
