I think a fair alternative to doling out free sets of cards would be allowing players access to free pre-constructed decks. the cards wouldn't be in their collection and they can't modify those decks. Let newbies play with tirion and antonidas for the wow factor and let them be somewhat competitive, but anyone who really wants to play with the big boys will have to grind a collection like anyone else. Eventually they'll want to customise decks and will either pay or grind to get those cards.

The decks obviously can't be top tier because you don't want everyone being able to grind rank 5 by just by playing shit on curve and getting on a couple of win-streaks, but they have to be okay, hopefully with some funky combos and concepts that an inquisitive mind would want to experiment with and expand upon.

I don't think giving out hundreds of cards to a new player will do anything other than confuse them more, particularly if they haven't come from a ccg background. New guys would have no idea what to do with all those free cards when they have no idea what 90% of them do, forcing them to do external research on how to get started. For a casual gamer, having to access external sources is a bigger barrier to entry than not having a full set imo.

Always open packs when you're really drunk and have your credit card with you. You won't remember opening the packs, but you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of cards you drew. On the other hand you'll be unpleasantly surprised when your AmEx balance comes at the end of the month.

I love infinite combos. Hearthstone needs more of them IMO.

I just discovered Primordial Glyph off of Primordial Glyph 5 times to activate the mage quest on round 2.

Isn't Mountain Giant exactly the worst possible card in a discard deck?

 Not really for 2 reasons. Explaining them to you might be hard if you question why its not good in the first place but i'll try.

First off, only 6 cards in this deck have hard discards. Darkshire, felhound and doomguard

Mountain giant tends to see play on turn 4-5 or way late game.

If you can play mountain giant on turn 4, you play it over any other cards no questions asked. If you discard a mountain giant, dinomancer becomes insanely good (5/5 summon an 8/8).

So basically there is no time when mountain giant is bad because it either gets discarded by Darkshire (where darkshire draws you card on death meaning you lost nothing and most of the time gain with imp). Comes down on turn 4 because you didn't discard any cards yet, or comes down in the late game where an 8/8 on turn 8 isn't exactly the worst thing.

Is anyone else a little disappointed that this card isn't named after Chromie in one way or another?

Fel Reaver's drawback has no effect in an aggro/aggro matchup, this guy will kill you in the mirror. Imagine UTH against a fair sized board including this guy? Even patches becomes "ping a guy then hit face 3 times". I bet he's glad flamewaker has rotated.

Still a good card though.

What happens with Dread steed? (I know it is wild) Does it fill your board?

This is a lot better than most of you are predicting. Most mage spells aren't targeted (secrets, draw, aoe), so that element of rng is minimal. Most people agree that discover is good rng so that isn't a problem either. Getting flamestrike, blizzard, greater arcane missiles, or cabalist's tome is nuts. Even getting a secret isn't a terrible result and arcane intellect is really good (almost pre-nerf AOL). If you're the kind of player who chooses pyroblast and crosses your fingers when the game' even, then you'll probably not get the best value out of this card, but if problast is your only out you can chuck this out as a hail mary and pray - babbling book can't do that.

People thought Yogg sucked when it was teased, but after a while they realised that most spells aren't targeted or symmetrical so you were most likely gonna get a good result. Not saying this is (pre-nerf) Yogg level of power, but it's better than most of you think.

Step 1: Put '100%' winrate' in the title of your deck

Step 2: Watch your deck get a shitload of upvotes

Step 3: Profit

OP is just ignoring counterarguments, statistics and anything else. Just another salty thread. 

 And i'm not ignoring counterarguments you ignorant fuck.

WTF, calm down dude.

Check the "decks" section of the site. You can find whatever you want.

I was playing a super fun mech Rogue deck against an echo giants Mage and got Mimiron's Head from a Gorillabot. I had a damaged Iron Sensei, Gorillabot and Mimiron, so I played Annoyotron to make sure he survived. Lo and behold, the mage couldn't get through Annoyotron and another mech, so I summoned the mighty V-07-TR-0N! I did the 16 damage to his face, which put me in range of lethal next turn... But then the mage pulls Faceless Manipulator out of his ass and hits me for 16 + a Fireball for lethal... Never have I ever been so sad that my own minion had charge.

 "The whispers of the Gods also contaminated various minions, which now have different characteristics to those of before."

Was I the only one intrigued by this line?! What do they mean by that? 

First I thought about the nerfs but that doesn't make much sense cause the sentence specifically says "minions" and we know that at least one spell will be nerfed.

My second thought was that maybe Blizzard will release some kind of twisted version of old minions with a different ability?

I'm really wondering about that line... seems suspicious as fu**!

Champion, how are you doing today? Are you ready for the "tournament" for this week's brawl? You will be play against another champion's deck.

Tip 1: Know the deck. The difference between champions and you probably is the understanding of the deck. Before you play. try to understand the optimal play ("win condition") for the deck. Even though it is premade brawl, the chance of winning would increase a lot if you know the game play of the deck. 

Tip 2: Some of the cards remain unnerfed, depending on the year of the deck.
For example:
2017 Sep 18 changes
Fiery War Axe, Hex, Innervate are nerfed this year.
so Fiery War Axe is 2 mana, Hex is 3 mana, Innervate would give you 2 mana crystal.
2016 Sep 28 changes
Execute was 1 mana. Abusive Sergean was 2 attack




If you have any other tips, or improvements, comment below. We strike to make a better game experience.

Here are the decklists from the tournament. Good to take a look at them.

Hey everyone! It's me again haha.

Below is the expansion survey I created for Un'Goro. With the expansion having been out for a month now I think the artificial spike in hype or hate has normalized and we can judge how the community is feeling as a whole:). Also  I think it's actually much better than the survey I created back february :P (I've also gotten better at presenting the data haha).

As before I'll post the results once I get a large enough N size!

It should only take 2-4 minutes :)

Also please leave comments telling me what you think! I'm always looking to improve the survey and your feedback is always appreciated:)

Update: Hey all, the survey is now closed! I'll be sure to create a new thread with the results in a couple days :)

I would like "Touché" 

in decks that spam the board way worse than Sea Giant.
