Hearthpwn

In short: the stupidest mechanic I have ever seen...

Was this "new" keyword necessary at all? Really? For the love of God, it is merely "summon a random minion from your deck"!

Who decides what should be a new keyword and what not? For example, the "can't be targeted by spells or Hero Powers" effect might be a proper keyword (Elusive) however instead we get this NEW and ORIGINAL keyword... Nonsense!

DO NOT WORRY PEOPLE! It's obvious that this card is a prank of Blizzard! They never would make such an useless card...

But here I bring to you the REAL "Glacial Mysteries" card:

If the OTK is ridiculously easy to execute it's a problem. if it requires you to stay alive for 10+ turns without heal while finding and casting random generated spells, all while finding either 5 combo pieces (or 3 that also require that the oppo doesn't have taunts) then i don't see anything wrong with it.

Quote from Gamefighter3000 >>

I actually dont see OTK as frustrating as long as it takes reasonable effort to do so and in my opinion this does, you have plenty of time in the game to interact with your opponent until he has his combo pieces and not to forget they have 1 less card in their starting hand because of the quest.

Yes, I know that we have to "make a great effort" in order to be able to play the OTK combo with Time Warp, but that is not enough excuse to promote any OTKs!

In general, OTKs mechanics are bad and should be avoided for the sake of a better gameplay... and this card only promotes that (because if you use this Quest reward for anything else you would be wasting it and you know it). That is the main reason why Time Warp is a very poor Quest reward. You are completely overvaluing it.

And speaking about that "great effort": are you aware of how difficult will be to play the OTK combo with Time Warp? I think that people here are being too much optimist/deluded regarding that:

1. First, we have to complete the most expensive Quest of all by getting nothing less than 6 random spells (with the mana cost/tempo that entails that) AND playing them (with the mana cost/tempo that entails that again).
2. Secondly, we have to keep in hand (losing even more tempo) or draw from the deck nothing less than the FIVE cards combo we require in order to Time Warp can have any utility.
3. And thirdly, we should stay alive until we can complete the above.

Seriously, that's not viable at all. What is the probability of getting all those odds so we can play that marvellous combo? (I'm speaking about the Archmage Antonidas combo of course, because the other ones have more vulnerabilities). Obviously is not meta-defining at all.

In short, with Time Warp we are facing the Quest reward least flexible of all the others. That's why I have voted "Dust it!" at the poll.

Quote from Gamefighter3000 >>

Not to sound mean or anything but your version would have been trash and then we have the problem that those cards are seeing no play again.

Is there anything more frustrating in Hearthstone than an unavoidable OTK? I 'm sure there isn't...

Well, Time Warp promotes exactly that. I mean, could anyone tell me any other utility for this card that is not an OTK? After reading this thread, 99% of the people intend to use this card as an OTK... Really, do you think that is right?

Given its name, Time Warp could have another effect less "aggressive", like:

"Restore the entire battlefield as it was at the beginning of the previous turn. Shuffle this spell into your deck."

I think I've decided Mana Bind isn't great.

A secret that doesn't affect the board when it's triggered is just too much of an investment for a free spell you have no say in.

Exactly. Undoubtedly Mana Bind is a very underwhelming card... perhaps if it gave another extra copy of the spell... or it finished the opponent's turn when triggered...

Bah! In any case even the name isn't appropriate, this card should be named "Spellsteal" xD

Why we can not have valuable Secrets like Flame Wreath? (perhaps freezing all the enemies instead of dealing them damage if it's too OP)

If I were a Hearthstone developer, with the name "Mana Bind" I would create a secret like:

I see Hearthstone as a CCG, not a video game. Coming from an MtG background, HS is incredibly cheap. I don’t get what all the fuss is about.

OMG, you're back! Haven't seen you on the forums for so many years. If I remember correctly you used to be a mod, don't you? Good to know you are still alive. :P

Heyo! Yeah I’m back, had a few years off to get married, move to a different country, and have a kid. I wonder if my record for giving forum infractions ever got beaten.  ;)

go play MtG then
where you collect cards and not hearthstone where you craft cards on an account that you don't own

140 euro for 1 deck will never be cheap, especially when the games progressively pushes out new cards designed to replace the old ones every year in order for you to buy cards for a new deck

I played a game in the Brawl today against a warrior... he made legitimate plays as soon as his turn started, spent his mana, seemed real.

Then roped.

Every turn.

This doesn't seem like a bot to me. Is it just a JERK?

I gotta be honest, this is the kind of thing that is going to make me annoyed at HS. But how would Blizzard even fix that? People should be allowed to take their time and think. But to do this on purpose when you don't need to... uhg.

 People are only doing it because Blizzard encourages them to do it by designing a system in which you are rewarded more by afking than playing.

 That's not true: people have been roping for no discernible reason for years. Playing a DH? I'll rope you. Playing priest? I'll rope you. Beating me? Get a great topdeck? yada, yada, yada.

But the fact that you earn xp per minute rather than per turn is making it worse.

I don’t get why these people are still supporting the greed in this company...
