Hearthpwn

The underrated card of this expansion. So flexible that will see play in most decks.

I don't know if it's that good.

In Zoolock you usually don't want to kill your minions but heal them.

In Cubelock you usually prefer to heal your hero with Dark Pact than have a full board that could benefit from that +1/+1, and if you play aVoidlord you have already won versus aggro. Same in Control, who cares about Giants being +1/+1?

Maybe a Zoolock with Witchwood Imp? I doubt it. Soul Infusion is way better. Void Analyst? Too slow...

Terrible.

Crystalsmith Kangor, The Glass Knight, Blackguard... Healadin won't be a think just with that, but it's really exciting and I can't wait to see more cards that could fit this archetype.

I completely misread. Still an interesting combo with Ultimate Infestation!

I still remember that week when Gwent had more views than Hearthstone. “It’s the end of HS”, they said. “Streamers are moving to Gwent”, they said.

I am always excited about a new game, but I see several flaws in Artifact.

1) It is not aimed to casual- ftp players. It is complex, it is expensive and you can't even buy packs for free. That's a NO for a percentage of players than, in HS, I am absolutely sure that it's huge. Here HS wins (as well as Gwent, whose economy is incredibly generous)

2) It is not aimed to Twitch. I am sorry, but it's boring and complicated to watch. It doesn't mean is a bad game, Magic has the same problem and it's a great game. But Hearthstone is the king because anyone can watch and understand a game in 2 min, and watch a streaming while having a beer without having to be too focused.

3) It can be a good game, but it has to beat both HS and Magic. Let's face it: both casual and pro players have a limited time (and money) to play. HS has been around for ages and we all have a huge collection, so it will be difficult for a HS player to leave all that behind and stop playing. On the other hand, Magic has just started, and it is THE game: if you want the complexity and quality of a 30 year old claimed game, nothing will be better than Magic. I am afraid that, at the end of the day, most players will have to chose ONE or TWO games to focus, and HS and Magic will win that battle and become the main games for casual and hardcore gamers.

The only advantage that Artifact has so far is the tournaments. With a million dollar tournament set for 2019, it will attract FOR SURE pro players. (That's why so many streamers are interested on it and are leaving other games). Will this money investment be enough? In my experience you can't buy a success such as HS, but we will see...

It's ironic how people hated Rin and called it a meme card when AT LEAST it allowed you to play minions from the beginning to the end of the combo and didn't affect your deck.

It's early to tell because few cards have been revealed, but right now Void Contract is absolutely unplayable.

I got Glinda Crowskin and Prince Liam, two cards that I love and that I hope will see play someday!

I kinda agree with you, and I'm not an aggro player. I always defend that basic-classic cards should remain untouched, as are one of the few strong tools that new and casual players have. Although, I understand that some of the basic-classic cards are way too powerful. Even Stonetusk Boar, that cames from ages where charge wasn't so op and dangerous. But especially Preparation, Innervate... )Rogue and Druid, basically).

That's why I think that some cards need to go, and Mana Wyrm was probably one of them.  They are avoiding new decks to appear, making the game boring. Why would we ever try a Tess Greymane Rogue when Miracle will always be a thing? Blizzard will have to think other ways of rewarding new players (IMHO basically giving them a sh*tload of packs, I guess the new levels on ladder are a good start).

Think that getting Nozdormu will guarantee that your next Legendary won't be Nozdormu. I was only missing Onyxia and I still think it was worth it because of that. (Although now I'm just missing Cenarius and Captain Greenskin, so meh).

I can't understand these decisions. Any change is a nerf and should give back the dust.

I don't think is a broken card or deck right now if we check the WR%

What it's annoying and should be fixed is that 10 min turn. You feel like you are winning (or losing) because of a bug.

EDIT: I was gonna say that I'm excited to try a Cubebeast with Baku when I realised Charged Devilsaur is not 7 but 8 mana :D
