Hearthpwn

This is like the lamest thing that happened in Hearthstone. Shame on Brode and his friends.

So, we need more female characters for girls to identify themselves.

Wait. You mean you guys identify to Gul'dan ? Uther ? Anduin ?

Sorry but, I don't play HS to identify myself. This is not a RPG, it's a damn TCG. Should I identify to Valeera since it's my favourite hero ?

I would absolutely play 2x Stonehill Defender. And I play 2x Acolyte of Pain too.

All of my decks have puns or cultural references as names.

For example, I have 3 Dragon decks (Priest, Paladin and Warrior), which are named : Dragonborn, Dragon Age and Dracarys (and yes, it was far before a "Dracarys" dragon deck got promoted on this site !).

I guess all of you can see where those come from. :D

My Raptor Rogue is named Jurassic Park and my Deathrattle Hunter is The Walking Dead. I'm always having a good time picking up names for my decks. But hey I'm a Timmy and I only play fun decks (most of them are not even Tier 3) in Wild. :D

Btw my choices of cardback is very important too : always choose a cardback that's beautiful and fits the theme of the deck !

Actually, every other Warrior deck is dead, and for a long time. Pirate will still be the strongest Warrior deck.

Exactly like the Innervate nerf. Every Druid archetype is now unplayable, except Jade Druid.

Good job Blizzard.

So the excuse for the Innervate, Hex and Fiery War Axe nerfs are that they are auto-include in their respective classes.

We're not here to talk about how Blizzard is just denying all of their good old "class identity" stuff (that served as an excuse for the last two years) but I just want to point out that we can now expect nerfs to these cards :

Swipe, Animal Companion, Kill Command, Houndmaster, Frostbolt, Fireball, Flamestrike, Consecration, Truesilver Champion, Northshire Cleric, Power Word: Shield, Shadow Word: Pain, Shadow Word: Death, Backstab, Sap, Flametongue Totem, Execute.

You may disagree with some but can't deny that these cards are in almost every deck of their classes. I'm not even talking about the Classic set ...

Blizzard already managed to make the Basic set almost useless (except Novice Engineer and Acidic Swamp Ooze, that see some play), because, you know, it's free.

Just want to point out the hypocrisy here : all classes have auto-include cards. The 3 cards nerfed are not worse offenders than the others. And we even can see that Druid, Shaman and Warrior are not the classes with the most auto-include cards.

Most of all : the nerfs destroy every Druid and Warrior archetype but Jade and Pirate, that will probably survive it (and Jade Druid will stay dominant). 

All of Blizzard excuses for nerfing these cards (and not the real problematic ones) are lies and contradict everything they said for the last 2 years.

Just look at the facts :

- Innervate is now completely unplayable. No discussion here.
- Jade Druid still has broken cards.
- Every other Druid archetype is now dead.

Exactly like the Fiery War Axe nerf, they just completely destroyed any Druid archetype BUT the problematic one.

Good job Blizzard.

Valeera the Hollow is one of the funniest cards I've ever played. I'm playing it in my Malygos deck and it's wonderful. But in a standard Miracle deck, Sherazin, Corpse Flower is much more valuable.

The reason people don't like jade druid is because it's not only boring to play against, but it completely crushes control decks, promoting an aggro meta. The same went for quest rogue before it got nerfed.

It has a brainless autopilot win condition which requires little or no skill, and now thanks to the new expansion it has all the answers it needs to the problems it had in the past.

There's already little to no creativity in deck building in this game, but when you have decks like jade druid dominating the meta, it makes the problem even worse.

The fact is if you want Blizzard to stop balancing the game and to let your OP tier one decks to survive, players are going to leave the game by the millions. In fact I'd already go as far as to say the vast majority of players feel Blizzard doesn't do enough to balance the game, which is why so many veterans have moved on to other games.

1. Fun is subjective, stop trying to take a moral highground. 'People' who complain on these forums find ALL types of decks boring, the only difference is that since its subjective the folks who are having fun currently are the ones who are actually playing the game as opposed to sitting on forums whining about it.

2. Every deck has been blamed as an 'autopilot' deck so this is entirely a waste of time trying to argue.

3. You do realize that Jade Druid has been out since Mean Streets of Gadgetzan and to qoute Brian Kibler... "I just made a new deck that I hadn't ever played before" and that was about... 1-2 weeks before Knights of the Frozen Throne came out. You dare to make a claim that 'Oh this is so bad, the new expansion has been out for a bit over 2 weeks now and folks are actually trying to rank up on the ladder'...? Not quite...

4. This is only partially true; the first part is true, the other one is not. Folks move to other games because they don't like the old ones or find newer games they like more. If you wish to make a statement of 'how many' veterans have moved to other games and they having this reason... I am sure it will be able to compete with the litterally 50+ million users that play Hearthstone.

Point is: you want to make such an impressive claim like this? Prove it rather than pulling it out of yer' ass.

I play 3 Paladin decks, each one has its unique portrait. And I like it it feels like I'm playing different classes (the decks are really different from one another).

Arthas portrait seems weir in comparison with the others. Less videogame-y, more like a drawing. But it's beautiful anyway and I love the emotes. I would just have loved something unique for the hero power.

It was hard, but far from Liadrin. Spent like 3-4 hours against the Lich King, while Liadrin force me to play a game I did not want to play for a week. So yeah, worth, if you really love Hearthstone.

Hi guys !

Quick question for Wild players : both in Jade and Token deck, which legendary is best to play ?

Dr. Boom is still the king of tempo, but Malfurion the Pestilent has proven itself a great addition for control games. I'm hesitating, both are good but I can't find a room for them. In token, they both drop several minions when played.

What's your opinion on the matter ?

It was hard, especially because I never play Mage/Shaman and so I have only basic cards (not even Evolve or Mana Wyrm ...). I dont have the Murlocs neither so I couldn't just SMORC the LK and no Reno Jackson for Warlock.

Druid was by far the easiest, any standard Jade list beats him easily.

It was a fun idea, at first ... but he has the same deck against the 9 classes, with the exact same draws every single game (cheater !). It became really repetitive and boring, when you have to play hundreds of games against the same bot.

Happy to get Arthas anyway !

The problem is not Jade Idol, or Ultimate Infestation, not even Gadgetzan Auctioneer. The only problem is the Jade Druid archetype. So don't attack good cards that could allow other archetypes (Quest Druid, Medivh Druid) to be somewhat viable because the Meta Deck runs it. Jade Druid was already a good deck in Un'Goro meta, and even back in MSoG meta.

Instead of asking for a nerf like babies always do, better ask for better cards for the other classes. And some of them really do need good new cards.

For once, Blizzard makes a good late game card, and people manage to complain about it.

Instead of nerfing this card, I'd like the other classes to have similar late game value (and not the crap we're now used to get in every expansion).

But hey I guess everybody here like the full aggro meta.
