Hearthpwn

I wouldn't be too quick to judge. I think this card might not fit in most decks, but I think the fact that it's a murloc makes it runnable in aggro. You usually won't get anything, but from my calculations you'll likely pick all 3 correctly around 33% of the time as long as you have good knowledge of the meta and are paying attention to what cards your opponent is playing. Trump came up with 50%, but I think that's a little on the optimistic side.

If you get the cards, that's a huge swing in card advantage that can easily win you the game, especially in decks without very much draw. Without them, he's still a 3/4 murloc which is definitely playable in those decks. 

 Pretty sure it's a joke post when someone in the HS community says they have a "tiny brain". Come on, guys.

I really want Dr. Boom, Mad Genius because Dr. Boom was the first legendary I ever got in HS from a pack. In addition, Warrior is one of the only classes I haven't hit level 60 with and I love Magni Bronzebeard so it would give me a reason to buy him.

I also wouldn't mind getting (in addition to the other Warrior legendaries) Mecha'thun, Boommaster Flark and Flobbidinous Floop, since it seems like a really solid card. I don't really mind if I don't get Whizbang the Wonderful since I will probably just craft a golden one.

I don't think it's worth the slot in the deck. If you already mess up your combo, having a condition to help you get it back usually isn't going to work because you'll most likely be dead by that point. 

What kind of drugs are you on bud? This is great removal for a deathrattle hunter. I'm not entirely sure if it'll see play but it will probably see just as much play as nerfed Call of the Wild and To My Side!.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Hearthstone. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical player's head. There's also Rexxar's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The pros understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just clever - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Hearthstone truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rexxar's existential catchphrase "I will hunt you down!," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their monitors. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Hearthstone tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

Can't wait to see the golden animation on this.

Not E.M.P crab? Literally unplayable.

Maybe it could work with Flobbidinous Floop? Draw through your deck with the help of Hemet, Jungle Hunter, play Mecha'thun, then play the Flobbidinous Floop and kill it off with a single Starfall or Starfire. You can also have Innervate and Neutralize in your deck, but ideally you want Hemet to burn them so you can draw the combo cards faster.

Sweet, Mecha'thun synergy! It looks like the deck might actually work now.

is it only me or the 3D skin looks horrible

...boooooring...

Not to defend the big corporation, but there are a couple of reasons for these currencies that aren't related to "stealing" from players by leaving you with a couple of dollars worth of premium currency after you make a purchase.  They're about reducing transaction costs by reducing the number of interactions with financial services providers players make while purchasing small in-game products.

Credit card transaction fees eat up a lot of the revenue for small purchases like $1.50 BG skins.  A lot of small stores will not accept credit cards for transactions below a certain threshold, while bigger stores just jack up prices on smaller items to cover credit card costs.  Spending $100 on a bundle of currency once and then buying things with that currency a little at a time winds up being much more profitable for Blizzard just because they don't have to process a credit card transaction for every purchase of a couple of dollars worth of packs or skins or whatever.The second reason is to duck the commissions on various mobile app stores, which can reach 30%.  If Blizzard can convince mobile players to download HS PC and make their transactions through the PC game instead of mobile versions, it can make a LOT more money selling the same stuff to the same players for the same price.  

What is missing from this, and why the anger is justified, is that there is no incentive for the players.  If they gave us $10 or $15 in free currency for every $100 we spend on Runestones (without jacking up prices on us), that would go a long way toward calming the community down.  As it is, there is no incentive to buy big bundles rather than paying as we go, and there is no incentive to make purchases through HS PC rather than the mobile app, so there is no mechanism for Blizzard to capture many of the best efficiencies of premium currencies.

Hunter just doesnť really get interesting legendaries. Like half of them just summon or give to your hand some minioin from somewhere.

Hunter is like one archetype just with differnt animals every year. Sometimes its wolves, lynxes, locusts, rats, hyenas, bears, now its bats and wildseeds.

Because it's an obvious casino/gambling style cash grab on top of a garbage expansion that broke wild

 Exactly this. When the patch notes hit for 21.2, with two laughably pointless nerfs for constructed format, and BG (a format I've tried 3 times and found boring, random and vapid) got a boatload of updates and balance changes, it's hard to not think that they have allocated their resources in ways that I as an individual consumer feel a bit slighted on. And it's been happening for awhile! So this whole Mercenaries thing feels like that to the n'th degree.

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. 

because it looks like a mobile game. it literally looks that bad. Its like HS has devolved or would have looked like in 2008.

its just hard to watch, even on a laptop. truly the epitome of lazy moneygrab. 

even if the gameplay doesn't suck like in BG its still hardly playable outside my phone.

That wall of text did more damage that an aggro hunter in a rogue meta.
