In my opinion, supporting "BLACK LIVES MATTER" and supporting anti-racism and black people are different things. It's also not an anti-racist movement, when it is being racist itself to all other races besides black, and being offensive to people holding other beliefs, especially right-winged people.
Violently forcing affirmative action will not bring the black community closer to equality; The community will throw the black community bones, such as soft words, some job positions and few budgets, but will fear them more. They won't be taking care of the real issues that put the black community in USA a step behind, like handling crime and giving them proper education like they should have. I support anti-racism and all equality for all races, black, yellow and white, but cannot support BLM.
And about Blizzard. this feels like an ass-cover; You mostly respect your money sources, like China (Blitzchung will confirm), and not black people. How many black streamers do you have compared to White and Chinese ones? How many Black officials you have in your company compared to White ones? How many teams from Africa participate in your tournaments?... (It's okay, BLM doesn't care to much about Africa either). [This is only my opinion based on partial information and I can change it, comments are welcome].

It's just like any other expansion: you have some cool cards, some strong cards, few tech cards and the rest are expansion filler garbage.

Imagine that you're playing a game of chess. You have the white pieces and game is going well. You're very happy because you outplayed your opponent and now you have a winning position. Unless you make a serious blunder, in the next few moves you're gonna win. It's your opponents turn, he thinks for some time, then he reaches in his pocket, pulls something out of it and puts it on the board. It's a black queen! He then makes a move with it - he eats your queen, gives you a check and attacks your rook at the same time. Since you cannot move your king and protect the rook in one move, your rook is gonna fall. Just one move ago you were winning, and now you're completely lost.
If that's actually allowed in chess, would chess even be a game, let alone "the" game that's played and respected with equal passion throughout centuries?
That's the scenario that we're witnessing in Hearthstone every day. Hearthstone is not a chess, of course, it doesn't even try to be it, but I have a feeling that with each new "mechanic" introduced to Hearthstone, it become less and lees a game that I actually play, rather more and more a game that plays itself and I'm just here to "enjoy" the show.

Only problem with Box is that Mages can "cheat" it out early for free. If it's cast for full mana cost, then it's fine. And if you think that "random" text on a card in Hearthstone really means random, you're either new to the game or you haven't being paying attention all this time.

Couldn't agree more. I'm not saying that some DH cards (Priestess included) are/were a bit too strong, but at least with Demon Hunter you know where you stand and if you play it right and have proper tools to deal with it, you often end up on top. But how do you play right against current meta Rogue or Mage? You don't. All you can do is play your stuff and hope that RNG decides that it's their time to lose. Or you can choose a more reliable option and load up some super aggressive deck that kills 'em by turn six.

With previous system each 50g and 60g quest separately had equal chance of appearing every day. Since there are a lot more 60g quests than 50g ones we were getting 60g quests much more often. It appeared so that Blizzard decided to give us 60g quest each day but you were never really guaranteed to get 60g quest.
With new system you have 50-50 chance that either some 50g or 60g quest will appear each day and a small (hidden) chance of 80g/100g/pack quest appearing. Same chance applies if you reroll 50g quest. I you reroll 60g quest, you will always get 50g one.
It's a nerf for sure but not a huge one. If you never rerolled 60g quests before, you should earn around 500g less each expansion.

Who took the jelly out of your donut?
We're finally getting a new class, plus priest changes seem good, they won't be needing to print so many broken cards for priest anymore just to make it playable.

For the last 10 days or so we have Lunar New Year event going on and only quests that are showing up on all 3 servers are 60/80/100 gold and dust rewards. There are no regular daily quests. Yet, "80g quest trade" thread is still active, people are posting and acting as if they have 80g friendly challenge quest.
What's going on here, am I missing something or what?

No shiny new quests for me as well. Also, game froze during opening of my tavern brawl pack so I don't know what did I get. Good stuff.

They can still make it a keyword later, if they introduce more cards with the same mechanic. Also, it's not same as Plague of Death, because PoD silences and destroys all minions so they can still be resurrected later, while The Amazing Reno should make minions disappear as if they were never played. I do agree it's nothing special, just another fancy board clear, especially for 10 mana it's not impressive at all, so I'm more interested in what will Reno hero power be.
