I think Theotar is a bit too consistent(I think he should be “Discover a card from your hand and trade it with a random card in your opponent’s hand” or something) but yeah

the genius beancounters at blizzard have done it. rather than the typical, more predatory thing of having expensive bundles with more value, they have done the complete opposite in many countries! 10% off if you buy 8k in 500 increments. transaction fee problem uh, solved (well, the UK and Mexico so far, but i'm assuming it's a rounding thing and they hosed it up loads of places)



you'll still be able to buy prepurchases, the tavern pass, non bundle packs (and the golden miniset) with cash. otherwise, yeah, runestones.

Yeah I think this is just a mistake with converting from USD because the USD prices don’t have this issue

BGs aren't pay-to-win, and you don't need the pass to get a 1st. Honestly, if you aren't already a high-tier BG player, just popping in and playing at a remotely competent level should get you a 1st in a couple of tries, even with 2 heroes to pick from. The level of competition is very low and low MMR. Find something better to be mad at.

The difference isn’t huge but paying for the tavern pass absolutely gets you a significant advantage with how unbalanced the heroes are. Not to mention having 4 heroes to choose from gives a better chance of getting a hero you enjoy playing(even if it isn’t best in terms of winrate).

Current deathrattles aren’t really worth copying so I guess he’ll be one of those cards to watch in future expansions, though there are still 2 more Hunter cards in the mini set.

Just think of immune as permanent divine shield plus permanent stealth and you’re 95% of the way there. No damage, no unfriendly targeting, no attacks. Everything else works as normal.

Not that while an AoE silence would normally remove immune from units it doesn't with Jailer’s because the immune is a constant aura effect.

If you mean just the frogs doubling/tripling with Baron that’s how it’s supposed to work, otherwise they’d be completely worthless as a minion. And they ARE worthless without Baron and Parrot, which makes putting the build together not as easy as it looks.

I'll probably check out Marvel Snap but holy yikes at that monetization stuff. I'll give Brode credit for coming up with Hearthstone in the first place but the game got way better as soon as he left. I tried Runeterra but the gameplay didn't click with me, and it has the same middling art direction/presentation that plagues all of Riot's games.

I played a heap of Gwent when it was in beta and I still have a huge amount of its version of dust in my account but I haven't touched it for a couple of years at least. I should check back in on it. It plays differently to every other digital card game I've tried and it has by far the best art out of any of them (I think they said it an interview it takes them about 700 hours to produce one card).

From what I understand the Nexus events that Toshimo mentioned were already taken out of the game

I've not done constructed in years, but as I recall, I can get some end-of-month rewards for placing on the various ladders? Does each ladder give rewards or just 1 of them? Either way, for someone with no current cards to speak of, is there a cheap deck I can find through enough ranks to get some cards?

Nah the rewards are for the highest you’ve placed in any of the ladders so you can’t double dip

I mean good odds on it/dk in general being busted as gently caress yeah but I gotta be pedantic

And Patchwerk is only 1 Blood rune so you can have both. With 2 Horn of Winter you can pull off the Brann+Patchwerk combo on turn 7, 6 with coin.

The only use for that would be some sort of OTK combo right? In wild I guess it pairs really well with Malygos

Also MAJOR nerf to evolve Shaman

EDIT: Lol it’s Undead so you can get it from The Scourge. Way to kill the card before it’s even out Blizzard
