Now now children. Calm down or we take the ball away. Let's all get along, we're just here to play a card game.

Arena doesn't get played much because it costs resources (gold) to play.

But if you make it free, even without rewards, then the people who enjoy Limited formats will ONLY play Arena and not invest money into the game.

The solution is to improve rewards. Make it 5 or more wins to break even on investment instead of 7, for example.

What are your thoughts guys? You think Blizzard ment the combo to be there, or they overlooked it in playtesting? Seems like a strange thing to overlook.

 Wizards of the Coast AND the players they hired to look for broken stuff ahead of time missed Splinter Twin combo, which was two cards (Twin / Deceiver Exarch) almost identical to an existing combo (Kiki-Jiki / Pestermite) being printed a handful of sets from each other. Humans miss things that are in plain sight, sometimes.

And yeah, Tiller needs to go. Having it deal 2 damage whenever it attacks face keeps it as a marginal aggro card and also stops this combo going off, which I thought was cool to see the first time but not the tenth, and certainly not when I realised it can attack another immune minion forever so I can't even just not play minions to avoid it.

That this would even kill the old dumb 2,000+ armour druid troll lists is kinda obnoxious, assuming Blizz didn't make it some arbitrary maximum number of attacks.

First time seeing Wretched Tiller combo: rofl wow, that's genuinely amazing! Great creativity guy!

Fifth time seeing Wretched Tiller combo: ....

My minimum demand is to get rid of, or rework, the card "Charge". Right now it just gives a minion Rush in everything but name, but if the minion already had Charge then it can't go face for whatever reason.

Got the last card I needed for the full set coin!
Just wish the game hadn't used my gold legendary karma on such a meh card though.

Turn 2 Shotbot, Turn 3 Goody Two-Shields on the play against Rogue who has done nothing but weapon up. Got turn 4 Truesilver-Guy, feeling good.

I start my turn 4 with no board and them having a 9/9 Questing Adventurer.

I don't win that game.

This is immediately after playing against Druid and them getting turn 4 Catrina Muerte -> Strongman.

You can deselect gold cards in Arena after your draft is complete. I believe you just double-click a non-golden card in your list and it'll ask if you want to turn off golden cards for that Arena run.

Game crashes IMMEDIATELY as I get my 1000th Paladin win, so I miss out on the lil 1000 WINS!!! celebration. Boooo.

I actually like the Book of Heroes. As someone who has no time invested in Warcraft, it's interesting to learn about the lore for the first time through the lens of Hearthstone itself.

At the risk of showing my own ignorance, are there any popular black/African American Hearthstone streamers? I watch Daily Hearthstone Moments routinely and can't think of a single familiar face who'd fit that description.

Of the female streamers I know who play/played HS, Hafu's super busy with other stuff right now (Among Us etc) and Glitter just lost her mom, plus there's also the possibility of people not being able to travel to the US because the US is currently not allowing a bunch of countries entry right now from the pandemic. There may be reasons that haven't been made public why some faces aren't there.

I bought the C'thanks bundle, as i've had a good week, and I ended up getting two Legends in the packs, plus the two legends from the bundle, so I feel pretty good about that! I got two Warrior Legendary cards, so I might need to start playing warrior lol.

Holy shit Control Warrior is so good right now I'm on a roll shitting on all the aggro and DH is fun. Haven't lost a match against Tickatus yet either due to Rattlegore, I even managed to kill a Tickatuslock with C'thun.

Ez double legend.

Okay, I just tested it.  Alas, C'Thun, the Shattered has no synergy with the other C'Thun cards.  And yes, I did wait to check once he was assembled.

Fun and interactive (2). Opponent had no board at the start of this turn.

I won every other game that day, at least.

 Wow... just wow, it really feels bad to lose to something like this, and you were like, just going to Turn 7... Druid just has too much mana cheat at this point. Maybe cards, like Dirty Rat are  essential on Wild mode now... IDK... but it has risks... There should be more ways to counter combo and mana cheat, for sure.

I don't want to be that guy but...

Hit legend before:

Hit legend now:

I started playing Hearthstone in September of 2018, right after The Boomsday Project came out.  My first love was Hunter, and now that I'm two years in to the game and have a better understanding of things, I understand why.  It is an easy to learn class and holds its' own fairly well.  I got bored of it pretty quickly, though, and moved on to Shaman.  This class, when things fell in to place, felt amazing.  I had a hard time making things fall in to place though, more often than not.  That led me to what I would come to view as my favorite class in the game, the Rogue.  It was powerful but not overly so.  It made you think.  Games tended to be quick.  Finally, I had found the "perfect" class for my play style.

Every time I did good in a season, my best pushes and streaks were always with Rogue.  And now, after almost two years to the day of playing, I hit legend for the first time.  My "boss fight" on 3-star Diamond 1 was an aggro Demon Hunter who gave me a hell of a good fight.

Id's like to take a second to say that this community has been tremendously helpful over the last two years, and I am thankful to have found it.  The deck I hit legend with came from here, as a matter of fact:

So thank you, everyone, and good luck out there on ladder!

Don't blame it on the Sunwalker.

Don't blame it on the Moonfire.

Don't blame it on the good times.

Blame it on The Boogeymonster.

Also, I just can't, I just can't, I just can't control my feet.
