I don't hit the button so I don't have to think about this... Also, it's extremely early to start this thread, the set isn't even out.

 Well, as soon as it is out, people will say "Jesus OP it's too early to call for nerfs wth is wrong with you. SALTSALTSALT LOL" At least now OP won't be called salty for trying to get some predictions in.

Personally I'm assuming the eventual nerfs are in the last dump. Not sure which particular card yet.

Quote from Shadowrisen >>

Arena just works out a different set of mental muscles than does constructed.

I don't stream, but you can look at people like Kripp as they are drafting their decks.  It's interesting to watch him say something like "card A is clearly the best pick overall, but I'm going with card B because . . ."  More often than not, he makes the right call due to some mixture of experience and intuition.

The casual arena player can be left feeling as if it's all about the card offerings, and to some extent, every individual draft is largely dependent on the card selection.  However, over 30 or 300 drafts, you start to see amazing consistency in play if you have a strong grasp of tempo fundamentals and you learn to evaluate your card selections along pure tempo considerations.

It should also be noted that Arena is a great way to function as an f2p player.  There's a reason all the better arena players have basically full golden collections in standard.  You have to work at it a lot before you can "go infinite", but after you get to a certain level, there's no real reason to ever spend money on the game again.

 

It should also also be noted that, starting tomorrow, the Arena "meta" is going to be a lot more exciting, as they are no longer simply offering the standard card pool.  I know they're starting out with Naxx, MSG, and at least one other wild set.  Should introduce a lot more variety to the games.  Free tip:  Priest is best.

 Hmm... Maybe it's practice, then. I'll admit that the rewards made up most of the reasons why I gave the mode a try in the past.

Ahhhhhh poor little welp. We used to have just 9..imagine the horror.... 

Not sure if I get your sarcasm. I remember, and it was pretty terrible. It was one of the few things Blizzard did that was universally praised, so I'm not sure why they don't do it again.

I am calling it now: If Blizzard ends up nerfing anything mentioned here, all these anti-nerf posters will flock to say: "It had to be done.", "It was OP." or "I'm glad this change happened."

It was the same for Baku and Genn until they got rotated. It was the same for Jade Idol until it got a tech and Druid got nerfed. It was the same for Quest Rogue, TWICE. It was the same for Murloc Warleader and Finja. 

True, some people will stick to their guns and say they dislike the changes, but most of the anti-nerf crowd goes silent when Blizzard acts. You people are massive hypocrites.

 Some nerfs really don't make sense.

Blade Flurry, Equality or even the totem, but the vast majority of anti-nerfs post are just players don't like to see the broken cards they crafted/oppened be adjust and balanced.

 Yeah, but nobody called for nerfs on most of those, so it is "safe" to disagree with that. Whenever a card that generates a lot of complaints gets nerfed, its previous defenders either scuttle away and remain silent until the whole thing blows over, or better, change sides and praise Blizzard for it.

I've noticed it for a while, but only with Baku and Genn did it piss me off enough to point it out.

How dares OP ask about the same amount of free stuff as before, ESPECIALLY now that HS got even more expensive?! Clearly he's a greedy, entitled player!

Good Lord, guys, I sure hope the multi-million corporation gives you something for your absolute loyalty against your own interests.

As for the OP, you were already answered. We're getting 12 packs, which are probably a good enough replacement. At the very least you get 540 dust, which is more than the free legendary would be worth.

None of the years have had any more than maybe 2 minions in the first expansion that are the theme animal. 

There's only one bland Mammoth in the game from Un'goro and there was one crow (not even a raven) in the witchwood.

Tldr: you're a whinging idiot who got his hopes up. Now you're acting like a spoiled baby

 Year of the Mamooth's theme was Primordial's, and Primordial Tribes. Mammoth icon was representing prehistoric creatures.

There was Tortollans, Dinosaurs, Mammoths, Prehistoric beasts, Lizards, Elementals etc.


Year of the Kraken, in the other hand; Kraken was representing old gods. There were "all" of the old gods.


Year of the Raven was well-themed too , It was themed around monster hunt. Raven was representing "scouting" for Monster hunt, more like Witch Hunt.


Come to Year of the Dragon now. They themed it as "Villains engage Dalaran". Lackeys are here, Villains are here. Dalaran Defenders are here but Dragons, Dragon-related stuff isn't here.

C'mon, don't fool yourself. Learn some symbolism, please.

 Well, dragons are magical creatures with great power. We're getting Archmages, wizards, arcane crafters and even dragons. The villains are also pretty powerful themselves.

Uhhh what?...

 Funny randem humor xD

I am a top English and Portuguese student, both European and American. I've tapped into French and Spanish. I know just a teeny bit of Latin and German, and writing fantasy has driven me to learn a bit of Inuit too.

Despite this, I am still unable to find words to properly convey the sheer amount of inbred retardation needed to pilot a Big Priest deck.

Did people really complain about Dirty Rat not being enough? Most complaints I've seen directed at the card were that it was too strong. (And TardisGreen ironically complaining that it is too RNG-heavy, but that complaint doesn't count because this is HS)

It's funny because Hecklebot is a lot less reliable. If you wait too long, your enemy will draw his combo and keep it safe in his hand. If you play it early, you are digging into a whole deck, and might very easily pull out something irrelevant. It won't be as much about skillcap as it will be about RNG. The anti-spell tech, though, that one takes timing, I'll give you that. 

"It's not about what you do, it's about how you do it!!!" I hope those words resonate in D&D's heads for the rest of their lives. XD

Me after watching the ending:

 Yeah, that's the downside of it.

But at least the scenes make sense in this last episode. Not compellingly, but they do make sense.

Better than trying to shoot like smartasses and failing pathetically...

I really don't care if the scenes in the ending make sense or not. It's a TV show, a series, it's supposed to entertain us, not let us completely disappointed. The same ending could have been written and directed much better, instead we got one rushed as f...k!!! :(

Quote from Kla_guy >>

TL;DR:

D&D write way worst than GRRM.

D&D are completely retarded, they must have mental issues or something. Even an idiot with no idea about the series can write a better ending, LOL. Oh, and GRRM is a f...king GOD compared to them. ;)

The part about Jon and Dany felt sad but it feels more like GRRM than the rest. We have to keep in mind that he only gave key points to the producers/writers and they took it from there. The reservations I have here are more from a pacing point of view, since I still don't buy Dany going child murdering crazy within 2 Episodes. I don't know how GRRM will achieve this transition but I hope he will do a better job here.

Bran ruling with an All-Star GoT Team on the small council does not feel like book material to me but more of a way to end many characters story lines within as few scenes as possible. 

The part that somehow ticket me off the most is Sansa demanding the North to be an independent kingdom. How the fuck is it reasonable that during a council, which tries avoiding the mistakes of the past, she sets the precedence for the next Lord, who wants to rule independent from the Iron Throne (or maybe we should say "The Crown" from now on...)? Too me that feels really absurd. It feels like they wanted to have at least one empowered woman at the end, since the other one was unfit to rule. I really appreciate the intention of establishing some kind of female leadership here but the result felt like very lazy writing once more.

2800 gold for a legendary I won't play and max one week of replayability.

Instead of investing in new game modes they are giving less and less, I don't think Hearthstone will go that far like this. 

 hahahahahah one week o replayabillity please read dude you anomly mode that always a new to run ;)

Quote from Legendarias >>

Why don't you make it clear? The dalaran heist is a scam. 

So correct me if i am wrong but this content is somewhat very similar to kobold and catacombs and witchwood dungeon runs... well, tbh is the exact same thing but extended. And now you have to pay for the same i got for free to obtain 15 packs and useless legendary? fucking scam.

 15 packs 
1 GOLDEN legendary
1 Golden pack and that for just 20$ and you call that scam go buy ome brains plz

 12 packs

 pff no you got for the WHOLE adventure 15 packs

 The first wing ( awarded with 3 packs ) is free. No matter how you capitalize or colour it.

I can't understand why some people continue to insist, that we get 15 packs if we purchase the whole adventure. It has been discussed over and over again, that the first chapter and thus the first 3 packs are free and EVERYONE has access to them, yet some users continue to claim that we get 15 packs for 20$ and try to make their arguments sound more convincing. 

It's kinda hard to talk to them, amirite, Omicron_Persei?

 They are just in denial. I waste money frequently in overpriced stuff but I try to not deceive myself or others about it.

That certainly was the last episode of a TV show.

Bland and predictable and about as middle-of-the-road as you can get, but given the state the rest of the season ended up in, I'll take what I can get. Now to fondly remember what a great show this was, conveniently forgetting all the shit parts like every nostalgic idiot does for anything.

This topic is still fresh.

Quote from Kla_guy >>

Jon, Jon, Jon... Don't know, he might reluctantly accept the crown and un-happily reign over Westeros, or not. Personally, I would prefer the latter, some way or another.

The awkward thing about Jon is that he would make a horrible ruler.  I don't understand why everyone is trying to prop him up as their king.  He's basically Ned Stark 2.0.  He's too honest for politics and his dying as commander of the night's watch in both the books and the show (for different reasons, even!) proves it.  Maybe with the Red Keep cleaned out with dragonfire he can hang in there a bit longer than Ned but his downfall would still be inevitable

I can't believe Varys of all people died for him.  Varys, who could have busted Ned out as easily as he did with Tyrion but didn't because he was more useful where he was.  Varys, who backed Dany's brother for "the good of the realm", which in the books was complete BS and his way of dodging the question of who he's working for (himself)

Imagine D&D actually makes Jon king next episode.  It'd be a bad ending but they were too dumb to notice lol
