Yes arcane missiles can hit stealth. But that's a lucky combo and a very good one. I wouldn't build a deck around it but I would use it when I can.

So can Deadly Shot, Stampeding Kodo, Mind Control Tech, and any AoE (including the not "true" AoE spells like Cleave and Multishot).  Not to mention all the cards that can kill the Pint Sized before they would even get another turn in order to stealth it (Guessing we're taking about Master of Disguise here and not Conceal since that is one turn only).  And therein lies the probably with building a constructed deck based on the combo, common answers to the combo will be present.

it can make players think you are more vulnerable than you are. 

If they can't handle simple arithmetic then you probably have a pretty good chance of winning anyways.  

I think arena is vastly superior to constructed when it comes to streaming.  You can engage your viewers by polling which hero to choose; your viewers see every card you put into the deck and you don't need a ton of explanation for each card (it was better than the other 2!); and you have a clear goal: Get as many wins as possible before 3 losses.

I do not think the average player will live in the arena when the game launches though I am sure it will be very popular.

Why not just send them to random people who have liked the page?  This is awful...  I'll just wait till the sometime in October open beta I guess.

"Silenced" means "The card no longer says anything", i.e. all text is removed. Seems pretty simple to me...

I agree and I think splitting an ability into two parts just makes it more confusing.

Are cards discarded "to the graveyard" or back to your deck?

Discarded to nowhere.  There is no graveyard, the cards are unrecoverable.   They do not go back into your deck.

Deathwing is meant to be played when you're both in top deck mode to get you the win.  You don't play Deathwing when you have 4-5 cards in hand.

In Hearthstone you get a full free mulligan.  So a player going second can have seen 4 cards + 4 for complete re mulligan + 4 for 1 draw per turn by turn 4.  So 12/30 cards if they're fishing.   I really don't know if it is too strong.  It probably would require a lot of testing.  If it was 8/6 or 7/7 it would be vulnerable to Big Game Hunter which is probably going to be a staple of constructed play.

Can't counter it against a warrior.  They can turn 3 Warsong Commander and turn 4 Bigglesworth into an impressive legendary.  Or turn 4 (turn 3 with coin) cast Bigglesworth and Charge.

The hunter ability cannot hit minions and can be used even if an opponent has a taunt minion out.  For that matter the mage hero ability can hit minions and can still bypass taunt minions (all direct damage can bypass taunt minions)

Quote from Lukoil »

Silence, Charge (direct damage spells), taunt monsters in that particular order.

Silence - prevent both charge and taunt. Charge - to deal direct damage if there is no taunters. Taunters - to protect yourself. Other card choices are situational. IMHO

How can you prevent charge exactly?

I am guessing he meant the warrior minion that gives other minions charge?  Otherwise I am as confused as you are.

Hearthstone limits both number of minions allowed on the board and life total.  So manipulating creature stats is pretty much the only way we'll see extreme values in Hearthstone.  This particular set up required both players to be in cahoots.  Couldn't happen in regular play.  So I don't think they need to worry about negative health Lorewalker Cho "bugs".  

This would effectively be giving warriors a weaker version of a rogue card, Conceal (a warrior with taunt wouldn't protect his minions from being targeted with spells/hero abilities).  Is it different enough flavor-wise to be justified?

dang nice, shame i can only do it reliably with 10mana D:

Yes, but you can do it with before 10 mana with Pint-Sized Summoner and Far Sight.  And Bloodlust only increases attack by 3, and you'll usually either winning the game or getting close to it when you use it.  So if you just want to copy a buffed up minion as a shaman you can use Rockbiter Weapon or as any class Abusive Sergeant

Or you know 300 dollars has a different relative value to some people than it does to other people?  Additionally, depending on how many hours you end up playing before open beta it could be very cheap per hour entertainment.

While I wouldn't sell or buy a key, other people doing so doesn't bother me in the slightest.
