Ah I see how it is. Thanks for clarifying. And it's good to know that I can disenchant Marin when it rotates out since I don't collect golden cards.
I hate how in this video Blizzard copied Fallout. The images of Blizzard are the two on the left, those of Fallout the two on the right.
God, I'm so disappointed with the theme of the expansion. I hoped for any other prediction people have made like Ethereals, but Mechs? Jesus Christ. I realize this is personal preference, but I really dislike Mechs as a concept, so every ounce of hype I had for this expansion vanished into thin air. I'm still waiting for a Naga tribe...
And don't get me started with Mecha Jaraxxus. I'm not going to play that card out of principle even if the text said "At the start of the game, win".
I just hope Burgle Rogue and Miracle Rogue get some support in like 3 or 4 cards, and this expansion would be tolerable.
Mecha Jaraxxus is an alternate hero. Get out of here with all that salt.
OK so still 3, and yes it was one-time thing but not only for Witchwood but for each expac and many peeps were just buying that
"Doctor Boom Mad Genius" seems like a new Hero Card for Warrior
Totally different scenario.
Every time we get a free random legendary it can be disenchanted. Like with the quests from Un’Goro or Weapons from Kobolds.
Every time they give us a specific legendary where everyone gets the same = Cannot be disenchanted. Until it rotates to Wild.
No.
Not 4 expansions per year. It has always been 3.
Three expansions each year.
And the ‘normal bundle’ you are talking about was a one-time thing in Witchwood. Normally bundles are 50 packs for 50 USD. Witchwood was special with 20 extra free packs.
People should learn from real life TCG,
200 euros per year is too much for hearthstone?
LOL
Yugioh? Magic? 200 euros at every espansion if you want a decent deck, even more.
Please end up revealing more mechs. I don't want mechs to forever remain an aggro mage list! The tribe desperately needs more control and midrange tools.
I'd preferred normal bundle which was 70packs for 50euros... I know that we are not forced to buy this but if you want to have some fun or try to climb you need those cards... And till now how many expansions we got per year? 4? So simple math and It give us 50per bundle x70packs so 200euro per year for 280packs. It has not been great deal it was a bit expensive but affordable if you spend much time on playin.
So if every next expac costs similar we need to pay way more money 💰 I don't like it.
Edit;sorry for my poor English.
I beg of you Blizzard. Don't make Puzzle Room like Dungeon Run and Monster Hunt. I'm honestly tired of doing it. It took me hundreds of tries to finish Dungeon Run and I'm still stuck at 3/4 with Monster Hunt. Just make a regular adventure like Knights of the Frozen Throne and I'm sure a lot of people will love you for it. fighting 8 bosses in a row while having to restart from the beginning every single time you lose is NOT fun. And once I beat everything I really don't want to touch those ever again so I'm not sure how that works for replayability. This was not fun for me at all. It was the most painful experience I ever went through in my 3 years of playing Hearthstone and I've gone through all the heroic modes in the previous 4 adventures so I definitely have a good perspective. I know people are gonna tell me "Why are you playing if it's not fun at all?" Just call me a completionist. I've beaten every adventure so far and even if it's a tiny thing, I just want to own that damn card back that's offered. Besides giving up it's like admitting that the game has beaten me and I can't walk away from that. I have a dreadful feeling it's gonna be all the same from this point but I hope I'll be proven wrong. I just put my two cents for now, I guess we'll find out soon what kind of adventure it is.
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet , but hows this for a crazy idea.
Biology Project+Lorewalker Cho
give them a copy of Biology Project
its obviously a super tempting card to play for anyone, also run this in taunt druid with Naturalize , it would be a super generosity deck, where regardless of how they use those spells its still a positive for you as a Druid
Strong synergy between Myra's Unstable Element and Dollmaster Dorian. Deathrattle Rogue finally going to become a thing in standard?
Roll the Bones Kingsbane Myra rogue maybe? Finally!
Marin was a promo card, that's different. I am pretty sure that golden legendary you will get will be dissenchantable.
I don’t think you do at all judging by the fact you’re saying this in response to this.
Why did this release on July 10th if they announced that the expansion announcement would occur on July 12th? Just curious.
The 12th one is not the espansion, but is related to an event in brazil... search for it
