    posted a message on New Card Reveal - Untamed Beastmaster

    Potentially good enough to see constructed play, and DEFINITELY good enough to pick in arena.

    Agree with other comments that there seems to be a push here for quest synergy - we've already seen a bunch of cards that could fit in the respective class quest decks:

    Ironhide Direhorn, Springpaw, Hex Lord Malacrass, Shirvallah, the Tiger, Immortal Prelate...

    Of course, if you were being cynical, you might say that the plan is to get people to dump a load of dust on cards that are about to rotate out of standard. But let's not go there!

    There's a good chance this will end up being too slow (unless the meta slows down even further), but in a vacuum it looks really powerful.

    This plus Spirit of the Dead plus Reckless Experimenter = serious shenanigans

    posted a message on Rastakhan's Rumble - Complete Card Reveal Schedule

    This seems like such a long time to wait! However, was listening to the Value Town podcast this morning and apparently the two big reveal streams are timed to coincide with big Artifact events.... Highly doubt that's down to luck!

    Some of the card art looks great though, looking forward to seeing more.

    Yep, +1

    Been trying for about 10 minutes now with no luck. Seems to be well and truly down...

    This card kind of terrifies me, frankly! Can't wait to see what absolutely busted combos people come up with for this.

    I think the current ratings for this card are probably a bit over the top - at least in constructed anyway. I suspect it will we too hard to keep the thing alive to actually get more than 1 token out of it.

    Interesting card though, with interesting flavour and excellent art. Good start to the reveal season.

    posted a message on Hearthstone Season 56 Brings Us a Moonwell-Themed Card Back

    I like the central art for this cardback but the ones with thick brown borders always irritate me. A lot of the time almost all you can see of the cards is the border so when they're brown it usually makes the cardback ugly to actually use.

    Lemonade definitely still cardback of the year for me.

    I'll be looking out for:

    -cards that might make Duskfallen Aviana or Harbinger Celestia slightly less terrible

    ...

     Totally agree with this. My thinking was a minion-based effect along the lines of "your other minions' aura effects do not apply to your opponent". I worry that the design team would view that as too complicated for newer players though, so I doubt it would actually happen.

    posted a message on How strong is the druid? (feat. justsayian's match)
    Quote from The_Duke >>

    These kinds of hands are very very rare and can happen for zoolock (coin keleseth into free ghouls or op imps or chain gangs) or tempo Mage (worm into arcanologist kirin tor plus secret plus coin and so forth to kill turn 6-7) as well. OP opening hands have always existed so what was your point again? 

    Yes there are other crazy OP hands but usually they come with a downside (i.e. emptying your hand very early on and being extremely vulnerable to a single board clear). It's been said many times recently but this match demonstrated with perfect clarity that the main issue here is the lack of downside for druid - because of the flexibility of so many of their cards, they don't have to worry about the drawbacks of an extreme early game play. When you play against druid it always feels like they can always just armour/draw/stall their way back to safety and then execute their win condition.

    Saiyan himself said it felt like anti anti-climactic way to make it into the QF because the match was so one-sided.

    posted a message on Hearthstone Balance Changes Incoming - Information Coming Next Week

    Fingers very much crossed for a massive dust windfall here! Got 9 copies of Giggling Inventor, 3 copies of Juicy Psychmelon and even a golden Star Aligner on the off chance they nerf that somehow. Could be a very good day!

    Knowing my luck it will be Aviana or Kun the Forgotten King though as I have neither of those...
