Hearthpwn

I was hoping nexus champion Saarad would make the list and then my boy Yogg was beat out by Rag. I voted for Rag it was my first craft in Hearthstone. 

There is Hope come on Yogg!!! 

I dislike the combo when you are playing against it and LIVE.  It typically means you loose your next turn because the animations take up your turn timer. 

Quote from Banur >>

The new gamemode was described as a "slay the spire" -esque rogue like, but what they now presented is raid shadow legends, but just with the cards slapped on a background and then some ugly abilities.

What I had pictured was a sort of side scroller, where you play the mercenaries and battle all the creatures from HS: kobolds, gelatinous cubes, dragons,... using the abilities of HS as cards: fireball, sinister strike, swipe, shield block,...

There is a gameplay video of the combat on reddit and it just looks boring for the five minutes I watched. It was select three of six cards, those would then face three other cards and you select one of three abilities and a target per card. Then automated battle starts. If one of your cards die, you replace it with one of the remaining three.

It didn't look interactive, the cards had no animation and the spell effects were plain HS effects.

I think what annoys people even more, is that it is pack based and they are selling high priced preorder packs - before people could even play it.

 This right here is spot on. I also can’t agree more on how it visually looks like junk. 

Mercenaries where are the actual Barrens Mercenaries those lovely nine hero’s that Blizzard said in the beginning that this was about.  

Also am I the only one that thinks the visuals are just horrible especially compared to RSL. 
 
And yes I will try it when it comes out. However no upfront money from me for a lot of reasons. 

On a side note the visuals looked horrible compared to other games like this. 

I will play it just on the side when not doing BGS/Arena/Constructed but not spending a dime on it.  I already don’t like the cost of it it looks way more expensive than standard Hearthstone. 

Rafaam is just in a bad match up this week. I had to put my faith in the light. 

I also tried quest mage with about 10 minions that all generated spells except for Ras Frostwhisper because I thought he would be awesome post quest completion. 
I too was naive. 

Awesome video 

Every single deck I've created this expansion.

I must be a proper idiot for trying to do anything creative. They key to winning is just follow what the pro players are doing and shoot your opponent in the face with a gun. Everyone has their netdeck lists? Aaaaand go!

This little spring chicken actually got very excited for quest mage, I was thinking about all the fun ways to use permanent spell damage, like Ras Frostwhisper and Sorcerous Substitute.

God... was I naïve.

Wow, the Standard Shaman deck feels so Stormwindy...

totally agree !! Makes no sense to play him a turn earlier, and all other gods are 10 mana ! He was psuedo buffed with Quilboar family tag anyway

What I don't understand is why they announced it so late in the day.

In Alaska it was 10AM, sure, but in Japan it had already been the 16th for 10 hours. They didn't make this announcement about the 15th until nearly half of the world was already past it.

I don't want to sound mean, but it seems playing nozdormu interest litterally nobody.

This event lacks a pack or two to be successful.

Nozdurmu matches should be fun
