Hearthpwn

Tickatus is the worst card ever because it locks out all other control decks. I will never relent. It has made me like the entire game far less than I would. I have never ever wanted a nerf more than to Tickatus of any game, any CCG, ever. I absolutely loathe the card and wish they just moved it to Wild or make it 9 mana or destroy their own cards. Anything. 

One single card prevents every other class from playing control. People must stop defending it. 

It is my least favorite card ever in any card game. I will not play control until it's gone, so that just means not playing at all most of the time, because BG's, Duels, and aggro get old. I love fair control decks. Tickatus is the worst card ever.

Lunacy to 4 mana

Pen Flinger can only target minions (or is random enemy)

Both watch towers have one less health

I don't care about what people say thaty Tickatus isn't the problem, and it's Warlock removal. That is true, they have WAY too much removal. But Tickatus is a problem for a majority of the people to HAVE FUN. I hate that card more than any other card ever. 

This is both working as intended and working as most people think it should. It's just part of it that drawing a card that will cost 0 (primarily warlock and rogue), you take the chance it will be a token spell. Just risk/reward and if they did change it, it would drastically increase the power of any card that draws and makes 0-cost. Since they never intended that to happen, all draw-cost-0 effects would need to be nerfed.

TLDR: working as designed and intended. Feature, not a bug.

The first expansion of a year/season is ALWAYS the best one to buy in general due to the fact those cards will be valid for 24 months, whereas the second set is approximately 20 and the final set approximately 16 months.

That said, with all the changes to Core and the likely bump in users due to both the usual post-expansion increase as well as the definite buzz I've seen elsewhere for Core changes, it might be even better than a usual year to buy it. 

My wife and I always get the big pre-order and then use gold for packs. Due to the battle pass being FAR more generous than it was originally portrayed to be, I have well over 10k gold and she has 6k gold. I'm level 205 and many days just play a couple of games. 

To me, the preorder is a good value with just the packs and the pass. I would have to buy the BG pass anyway, so I can deduct that straight from the preorder cost. The 2 golden legendaries and the golden packs are definitely in-game values (even if they are all dusted). I always take the hero skin as completely extra, take it or leave it. I never care what skin it is.

Good luck out there and let's hope for a smooth launch!

I think Tickatus is the worst-designed and most broken card in Hearthstone for sure, and could rival the worst card in any CCG.

It absolutely should be a corrupted 3/3 or 4/4. And it DEFINITELY should ALWAYS remove the player's cards, as in it will always remove 5 cards from the player who played it, but if corrupted, then it also removes opponent's cards.

I don't think I've ever hated a Heartstone card as much as Tickatus. Cards that pull a single card from your deck or hand  into play are costly or have potential downsides, but this is insane. 

How about leaving it as-is, but any minions it pulls are put onto your opponent's board.

36 with the pass, and with a 20% reduction, it essentially shaves off 10 levels from the 50, so I am 36/40 and my only goal was to get max level, with dad legend a far off goal. With Cyberpunk, Assassin's Creed, the PS5 and its exclusives, and the surprisingly good Fenix, Hearthstone and it's greedy ways have got me to play less, despite still liking the game. They need a better value proposition, honestly.

Puzzle  #2 - Erratic Explosive

JUST SKIP:

3. Play Circle of Healing.

It's way more common than some people realize. It's 1-3 players per game. I'm ok with it because it's a legal and legitimate strategy for points. People have different definitions of fun. And any missing with the points rewarded for places 2-4 would have unintended consequences.

It's entirely too strong and somehow needs like 5 more nerfs. Its absolute dominance of standard, wild, and ladder to the detriment of every other class is truly unbelievable. The devs dropped the ball so hard. If they tested it even for 1 game, they would've seen. 

So we all ban Demon Hunter? Great expansion Blizz. You made a class that plays like a boss from the adventure.

Seriously, read this guy's analysis of it. China wrote the apology. Blizzard is ever more lost to us than we realized. Blizzcon is going to be full or Pooh protests, Chinese flags, and all the forums will be "next question."

I'm still confused by this and the previous announcement about the closing of Hearthpwn.

Is Hearthpwn website shutting down? Is it being replaced by Out of Cards? I'm confused!
