Hearthpwn

Given that all revealed bosses are from final encounters for each wing, I'd say Maexxna and Loatheb.

Honestly I think it comes down to the poor emote selection.  There's no 'good game', which is a *polite* thing to say when you finish a game.  So some people say 'well played', though that's easy to interpret as sarcasm because holy crap it totally sounds like exactly that.

If we had "good game" instead of "well played", players would still interpret the emote sarcastically. The problem is not the emotes, it's the prevailing mentality of players who have decided to be offended by every little thing the opponent does.

There is a purple, gold, and green card back which the bosses are using. We don't know if it is player obtainable.

Could someone point me to a screenshot of this? I can't find it in any of the listed pictures.

Edit: nvm. I took a closer look and saw it in the boss' hand of the four horseman encounter. Looks pretty neat.

Rexxar starts to attack with the bow - he enter's the process of attacking - then in the process of attacking, the trap get's set off - why is the trap set off? Because Rexxar is attacking - but Rexxar is immune while attacking - so the trap does no damage to him (this fits the animation) - the attack goes through.

This right here is why I think the damage being the bug makes sense; because Gladiator's Bow confers immunity while attacking, I don't see any inconsistency with Explosive Trap triggering and killing a 2 hp minion before it finishes its attack.

I'm aware of that. What I'm asking is, for instance, will the Nerubian increase the damage on Kill Command, or draw a card with Starving Buzzard when summoned.

If it draws a Beast from outside your deck, wouldn't it be best to say "Deathrattle: Put a random Beast into your hand"?!

Or is it going to be like Sense Demons, you normally draw a demon from your deck if there's one, and if not, you just draw Worthless Imp.. And here the question comes, if my deck doesn't contain beasts, would it draw a pre-specified beast (ex. Stonetusk Boar) or draw (summon) a random beast?

Still requires clarification from officials.

 Here you go:

Now that Webspinner is classified as a beast, is the 4/4 minion summoned by this card's deathrattle also a beast?

Well, it was neither a secret nor a bow, like most people were expecting...

I've always thought of spellbender as acting as if the mage took control of the spell and redirected it on the hapless 1/3 minion. Seems to yield the most consistent resolutions. I could be wrong in this regard though, so an example of where this thought process is wrong is welcome.

It should be relatively easy to test that logic, using any other targeted spell that says "you" or "your" on it.  If Siphon Soul or Holy Fire triggers Spellbender, who gains life, you or the Mage player?  If Spellbender intercepts a Hammer of Wrath, who draws a card?

Just tested this using against Drain Life and Siphon Soul. In both cases, the spellbender minion is damaged/destroyed but the warlock gains health, which runs counter to what I thought it would do. I do believe the Shadowstep could be worded better. It is worth noting that the effect targeting the minion and the effect benefitting the caster are separated in the text, though. Does the shadowstepped spellbender cost 2 less (considering that it's a 0-mana minion, does the 0 appear in green)?

Edit: my logic is wrong. see below.

Would love to see a video of someone winning with this deck. It seems spectacularly poorly suited for Noth, and my attempts seem to back that up. I'm sure it would work well, if he didn't play any cards. Only problem is, he does, and trivially trades for your swarm of weak minions to fill the board with 5/5's.

You sure you didn't accidentally select Normal mode instead of Heroic?

I believe, for some reason in 'casual' people expect easy wins and when they don't get that, because I guess the other player goes in with a similar mindset, then the other player is 'tryhard' or should be playing in ranked so he can farm the noobs. Or at least that's sort of the message that all these kind of posts send out. Casual is no different from ranked, only in that it won't affect your ranking. But it still doesn't mean easy pickings, it will still throw tougher players with serious decks at you.

Deal with it.

Welcome to Lord of the Gimmicks. Commit fully or go home.

This deck was actually a competitive deck back in closed beta.

Yay another zoo deck on Hearthpwn. That's exactly what we needed!

If you're going to run Zoo with an AOE, then Shadowflame is definitely superior to Hellfire. Due to the low cost of your minions, you're almost guaranteed being able to play it on any turn. Plus you have the ability to do much more than 3 damage at the cost of only a single minion. And you don't run into a situation where you wipe out your entire board.

Hello fellow brothers of the Light!

As the Shadow of the Floating Necropolis -Naxxramas- is drawing near us and the undead hordes will begin their invasion in these forsaken forums, it is time to rally our numbers and start lighting up this place real time!

I am Bloodmoth, the new Priest forum moderator and I'm going to be responsible for the maintenance of this place; but it will ultimately be up to you to gather more people to our cause in our struggle against Kel' Thuzad! (and the even more evil enemy of the Light, the infamous "meta"). 

At the moment, our favourite class is underepresented and -to an extent- its potential remains hidden in the shadows. It will be our duty to shed light to the unexplored corners of our class, so start experimenting with the new Naxx cards, aim above all to have fun and let us involve in constructive discussion regarding what we can do so that Priest makes a comeback. It is only ourselves that can discover our inner Light and use it to make a triumphant return cleansing the unholy Necropolis once and for all!!!

"Do you have something against women?"

I' don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Did I seriously read someone bitching about sexism in HEARTHSTONE?

Sometimes I wish I had been born 200 years from now just so I wouldn't have to stumble upon this kind of crap.

It's been a year, killing Sylvanas' value by having the presence of mind to clear your board with Cairne or a Harvest Golem as your killing blow so you can retain the deathrattle version has always been smart play. Now new players will just get frustrated about it and Sylvanas' value has just been inflated again.
