They just announced and released a huge amount of changes to the battleground with tons of new heroes and minions. How is everyone feeling about it? Anyone hyped?
Reallly hyped, but are these the changes announced at the summit?
Probably the Battlegrounds-related ones, but there should be a lot more to come about the upcoming hearthstone new year.
Very hyped for the Battlegrounds changes! Dragons have been teased for a long time now, and I like how most of the new minions were made especially for this mode.
EDIT: just saw that RegisKillbin confirmed on his Twitch stream that these are NOT the changes announced at the summit.
Can't get the update on mobile yet. I'm really excited, but I'm also struggling to see the late game win condition for dragons.
It's something akin to buff dragons(get the dragon that scales every turn with every dragon you have), get the divine shield giving guy, and that dragon that grows when you lose divine shield... profit?
Murlocs are still the kings of late game though. And that second dragon dude I think fits in more naturally in a mech build.

I can see how big bodies with divine shield can get you into the top four, but first place? You'd need more broken synergies than those to beat the other late game strategies.
Deathwing hero power is bold but Rat Pack scaling is off the charts. I got 2 of them and spent next 4 rounds passively pressing tavern tier up while keeping a win streak.
I played Reno, tripled on two, and picked up Shifter Zeras for the memes. That was turn four. On turn five I had a golden Ghastcoiler. I have literally never had an easier first place.
Going to be interesting to see how dragons fair once the novelty wears off. Right now I feel they are over picked so inherently are weaker, with the reduction in mechs and murlocs not gaining much I’m seeing demons at the top of every battlegrounds except for random brann+murloc or Beast high rolls.
I think dragons are just way stronger than the other tribes right now. There is no other style that goes so linearly from the early game, to the mid game, and into the late game. My bet is that they will nerf early game dragons in order to put the power level more inline with the other tribes.

I think there're actually a lot of other good strats now. Menagerie and divine shield are a lot better now. Dragons actually mix pretty well with the other tribes.
The lack of good singular murlocs is still an issue, but there's a lot of really good new heroes that change the playstyle of everything (like Deathwing).
I’m sorry but Demons are legit. I won 2 games with a bunch of high cost demons, that new 6* demon lady and Soul Jugglers (one gold and one normal both times). They just keep kicking out smaller demons and the Soul Jugglers just decimate the opponents board. Sorry dragons, I’m running with demons.
It does seem that Beast, Murloc, and especially Mech are just super weak now.
Played my first game after the patch, chose Alexstrasza to check out the new hero. Surviving till Tavern 5 was a bit rocky, but after that I managed to get 5 Razorgores and Nadina. Also Golden Glyph Guardian with buffs is def good.
5-Star buffing dragon is classy, also the reborn one. Dragons are mostly late game tribe. Also you can’t go full dragons and defend your valuable minions at the same time

Favorite Cards: 1. Lord Jaraxxus | 2. Malygos| 3. Edwin VanCleef | 4. Zephrys the Great| 5. Deathwing
I don't think so.
Oh ok , tmks

Herald of Flame Overkill ability triggers itself. It can literally wipe out entire board of tokens with 1 attack. Wow.
Waxrider Togwaggle can grow a bit too fast when enemy tokens run into your dragons.
Drakonid Enforcer is insane with new George.
my thoughts after 1 game
Piloted Shredder, Knife Juggler, Mad Scientist, Dr. Boom
Need to be removed from this game
Ohhh i can’t wait to try dragons out. I primarily play on mobile and waiting for it to go live..

Reno with triple Brann/Rivendare from the HP is just nutting :)
And TIRION IS HELL-A-WEAKER. With so many tribe minions he is bound to stay T1+T2 more as he has to collect less options now :)

Played 1 game with Reno, got Baron Rivendare out of a triple, golden it, 1st place.
Watched a bit of Dog streaming, feel like going to tavern 6 is now a viable strategy, specially with Dragons since they scale very well

Nah, gragons are good. Not weak and not OP.
