Hearthpwn

I got the visit every day achievement without even trying. I don't know if I should feel proud of that, or if I am maybe just addicted to this site. 

*edit* nevermind I was mistaken, I have the 100 days one, but not an entire year.

My fondest memory of hearthpwn is that heated argument I had with Sherman about charity and getting people to rank 5.

I voting for the archaeologist simply because the hero power is the only good one.

slows down Jade Idol , Pogo-Hopper , Hakkar, the Soulflayer , and other such abilities, while also giving your opponent bad draws.

that would be way to specific and confusing

Lol, textbook humble brag right here.

Bee, you wouldn't congratulate someone if they got a 50-0 winstreak from rank 10 to legend 1

Can't wait to possibly have my Spectral Pillager Rogue OTK (which is not problematic at all in wild) to potentially be killed due to them nerfing Mechwarper if the dumb new mech in town happens to get abused upon released.

But hey better to nerf old cards that haven't caused issues in the game just to create and release a new card that may cause issues down the line.

 You’re right (assuming you’re being sarcastic). It’s obnoxious to fuck around with perfectly good cards because of one busted-ass card.  I mean, preparation is never the problem, but making cards that aren’t appropriately costed is.  If raiding party was 4-5 mana to start with, this whole fiasco with taking away part of rogues identity would have been avoided.

I know this is not the point of the thread but I still have to say something

Preparation was definitely a problem. maybe when you look at it by itself it does not look threatening, but then when you combine it with the right spell it becomes overpowered. but that is exactly how prep works, it can only be used when combined with other cards, so when a spell becomes overpowered because of prep then it is preps fault. 

I am glad they made this change, but I do think that changing SN1P-SN4P would have been better.

As far as the combo goes, nerfing experimentation was probably best. in the combo, it was just as bad as SN1P-SN4P. Plus, experimenter was already a bad card except for in Mecha'thun priest, so this change will not effect the card much as it is still viable in that deck, and it is still bad everywhere else like it was before. 

But I think that the real problem was putting Echo, and Magnetic on the same card. those two keywords should never have to exist on the same card because it opens up the possibility for combos like this in the future. SN1P-SN4P is a dangerous card to have around. 

if you buy the wings with gold you will unlock golden zayle.

the problem I have with this brawl is: cards like Toxfin will never be drawn except for on turn one on in your opening hand. so it just feels like it is sitting there making your turn one less consistent. 

once you don't draw a card in this brawl, then it is just gone forever, which makes deck-building weird for me

I'm a bit surprised how many of these designs I *really really* dislike, either for being needlessly complex, introducing new keywords/mechanics or just pointlessness. My favourite by far is the shipwrecked buccaneer, which flawlessly combines flavour and functionality and even manages to incorporate an existing card. 

For runners up I guess Cowardly Knight and Modgud come in at #2 and #3. Cowardly knight is a funny card, but it has some synergy with hand buffs and/or cards that care about playing cheap stuff, so I could see it being made in a set that encourages paladin weenies. Of course the downside to buffing it is that it loses the buffs whether it dies or gets bounced.

Modgud is sweet in that is pushes shadow mage, although it'd need support from other cards to make that as a viable strategy.

Honourable mentions go to Tentacle Hatch, which is another good example of combining old and new mechanics. The only problem I see with it is that it's underpowered, but hard to balance. At 1 mana, it might be too strong, if it made 2 mana 2/2 slimes you'd lose the C'thun flavour and if it gave +2/+2 then you'd lose the symmetry between the tentacles and the buffs. 

Would've been great if they would have done the opposite of when cards are nerfed, so buffed cards can be crafted for the disenchant-dust-value. but no, ofc not, why should they...

It might be a blessing in disguise tbh.  Flux already started a similar site.  Now he can do whatever with no oversight.  I’m kinda excited for it.  

Playing aggro is harder than control unless it's a control vs. control mirror match (or similar control matchup).

As aggro, much of the time there is only one path to lethal before your opponent can stabilize.  It's not simply playing minion a/b/c; it's more about creating awkward board states vs. the particular class/deck you're facing.  It's about knowing when to start pushing damage to face, which targets to trade with and finding which path maximizes your face damage.  It's not that easy (unless of course you use odd paladin).

What a noob lol, the way you win this game is by dropping your opponent's health to zero, if you aren't going face then you're clearly losing.

I have few 10-12 years old players in my friendlist. They play aggro decks, cause they’re not capable of think well the difficult combos yet (like activating lackeys you mention), they have ‘funny’ nicknames and get morose while they’re losing. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were clicking ‘hello’ every single turn.

So you’re not complaining about bad players, but about the way the small kids act.

After all meeting all kinds of players with all kinds of decks is exactly how the casual mode works, no reason to be sad. :-)

When killinallday, bloodyface and hunterace are the names of three of the best players atm.

I wanted to point out how ridiculous the concept of judging a player's skill by his deck choice, but you won me over with your first reply.

The ONE and ONLY sure-fire method to tell a bad player (other than the inclusion of "dank" and "swag" in names, of course) is the belief that RNG is responsible for long-term performance in the game.  I understand it's hard to accept when you sometimes lose games based on no mistake or deficiency of play, but sooner or later if you're going to keep playing this game at a high level, you have to get it through your head that any ONE game is not the issue.  Hearthstone is an iterative process, and skill differences only manifest over many and more games.
