    posted a message on Classic Hype, whats next for classic?

    Rather than repeating the cycle of expansions I'd like to see developers focus on balancing the existing cards (just few changes at a time to slowly shift the balance). Otherwise we'd end up getting a second wild mode with extra steps. Transferring some of the current legacy card changes would be a solid first step (e.g. 2/3 Raid Leader). Adding expansions is fine in a long run, but the process should be really slow and approached carefully

    posted a message on [Suggestion] Hearthstone trade market

    My english is not perfect so please excuse all mistakes below if there are any

    Bob (who recently started to play) managed to obtain Archmage Antonidas from classic card pack. However, he does not want to play mage and needs some cards to build his dream deck. Meanwhile, his friend Nick (who's already been playing for a month) is one step away from creating his mage deck and needs Archmage Antonidas card to finish it.

    In normal situation both players would have to disenchant quite a few cards to get what they want, but what if they were able to simply trade their unneeded cards instead? This is a good deal indeed, isn't it?

    How would the system work in general

    There are sellers who are willing to sell their card(s) as well as buyers.
    Sellers can post a trading request through the market: [a card] or [a group of different cards] for [a card] or [a group of different cards] or [X gold] or [X dust].
    Buyers are free to search for the card they want and obtain it according to the deal.
    On top of this, you can also trade with your friends privately without the use of the market (player 1 places the cards on the right side, player 2 places something on the left side, deal!)

    Trading cards for cards is pretty obvious one: you can sell a single epic for a bunch of commons and vice versa.

    Trading cards for gold is a fairly interesting one as it would allow experienced players to actually get decent profits. For example, you can 1) buy a card pack; 2) sell the unneeded contents of the pack for 100 gold; 3) buy another pack and repeat. This system would greatly benefit players who aren't willing to invest large sums of money into the game.

    Trading cards for dust is beneficial too. For example, you can sell a legendary for 500 dust. Not only you would get more dust than from simply disenchanting it, but the buyer would greatly bebefit as well.

    Free-to-play model issue

    While market system is good and all, Blizzard still needs to earn their money somehow. The most optimal way to do so would be the following one:

    The trading request can only stay in the market for a limited amount of days (this is an obvious one to prevent the market from getting cramped).
    The seller can select from the following options: request stays for 12 hours at the cost of 10 gold (regardless of how many cards they sell), for 2 days at the cost of 20 gold, or for 5 days at the cost of 30 gold. (Private trade offers between friends also have a 10 gold cost for the initiator.) This may seem like a fairly small fee, considering the fact that you can sell multiple cards without limitations. However, if you go too far, the cards may end up not being selled at all == you lose gold. This way, the amount of card packs that active trade market users can afford is greatly reduced which means that impact on Blizzard's profits would be quite small. Not to mention that new as well as rotating out expansions will still force the majority of the player base to continue buying new card packs.

    TLDR: a new trading system that would benefit both new and veteran players while having small impact on Blizzard's profits. This system will likely attract more players into the game and convert it into the actual trading card game.

    Do not forget that Mechazoid has "boss" tag which most likely makes him immune to minion-only effects.

    12-8 for 9 mana is a good one, I think, plus you can replay this. Control decks inc?

    You can use this in budget decks instead of bgh. Flame Lance costs 40 dust while bgh costs 400 and both of them can remove a giant or Alexstrasza. Blizzard starts to care about new players alot. Cards like North Sea Kraken, etc will allow newcomers to create more or less competitive decks and climb ladder a bit faster. I would recommend to look at all "crappy" cards from this position first later.

    Guys. Seriously. This card is awesome for new players. And only for 40 dust! I play hearthstone for two months and I've ever seen bgh once. ONCE. There aren't many ways to draw multiple cards in late game for players at those stages, so topdeck wars are a thing. I would obviously include this into my warrior deck.
