why do you embed twitch streams? I'm considering not reading articles because those streams kill my bandwidth..

"Years later", it can be combined with Shadowreaper Anduin to create a similar outcome to the Hunter.

Anachoreta posted a message on New Legendary Card Reveal - Hakkar, the SoulflayerPosted in: NewsHemet, Jungle Hunter — easiest way to deal with your part of blood.
Myra's Unstable Element — more painful, but most likely you will get 1-2 bloods before burn the rest. And then just shuffle whatever you want
Explore Un'Goro — I guess its clear
Flark's Boom-Zooka — it might be worth to mention. Boom-Zooka with lucky tracking and you are good
Zerek's Cloning Gallery this might be easy way to bring corrupted blood and Hemet it later.
Skulking Geist has been said, but I'll just leave it here to sum.
Prince Liam — damn this one is good. Oh boi
At some point I see it with Prismatic Lens, but I guess its just meh
Also its not clean "after you draw, shuffle ...". Why not just "Deal 3 damage to you. Shuffle 2 more.."? Does it means it has to be EXACTLY draw? So what if you cast it with Grand Archivist? Will it shuffle? I guess its just Blizz wording, but who knows.

GetchX posted a message on Tess Greymane is Not Disenchantable for Full Value, Clearly a Mistake, Right? [UPDATE]Posted in: NewsWhether it should be refunded or not, I’m going to call out Hearthpwn for posting a clear salt thread that only is going to enrage the community against blizzard. As the leading community site on Hearthstone, you would hope it would be a level headed example to try to keep the community positive and engaged in Hearthstone.
Should we get a refund? Maybe. Do we need a post like this that is clearly an admin salty about something that is purely trying to create a riot? No. It’s a bad precedent and could be handled in a much more professional manner. We get enough salt threads, ragequit threads, blizzard is out to get us threads, etc on a daily basis, we don’t need one from the site admins to promote that type of attitude in the community.
The site is awesome. The admins don’t get nearly enough credit. But I would hope posts like this don’t appear in the future.

ceronimo7 posted a message on Take Fun to the Next Level With These Six Witchwood DecksPosted in: Newsofc. it is so hard to make new fun or even competitive decks with your own ideas in your fav class. For me this is the point of hs. If i netdeck a deck like cubelock (no hate) and have 80 win rate i feel no better than achieveing 60 wr with my own decks for example.I was in agreement with you. I don't net deck either but it's fine with all of these sheeps it's easier to counter meta -

DyingAtheist posted a message on Top Five Highest Win-Rate Witchwood DecksPosted in: NewsThe pros aren't the ones coming to this article looking for deck ideas though. It makes no sense to advertise a deck that's only viable in the hands of the top 5%.

Fluxflashor posted a message on Top Five Highest Win-Rate Witchwood DecksPosted in: NewsShudderwock Shaman IS trash tier and its been proven through stats - there are better decks. This article wasn't something put together with personal considerations on what people like to see but one that actually used data players contributed by using Innkeeper. HS Replay has the deck at 41%, we've got it ranging from 41-46% depending on the variation.
Don't argue with data.

Is it just me, or are some of the cards people are complaining about being random trash (*cough Yogg-Saron, Hope's End cough*) actually really good? Stuff like Grand Archivist and Spiteful Summoner, and even Raven Familiar.
Ok, let me explain. Grand Archivist is obviously utter trash in most decks. "Whoops, just used my last Hex [/card]on my [card]Snowfury Giant... At least I have a taunt now!" But in the right ones, it can be insane. I'm going to use mage as my main example is it probably has the best synergies. Imagine just having spells like Blizzard and Flamestrike in your deck. Not drawn a board clear against evolve shaman? Just drop Grand Archivist, now you've got a big body with good trading stats, and a guaranteed board clear at then end of your turn, which was practically free (~3 mana?). Or Raven Familiar on turn 2, and have a flamestrike in hand for whenever you need it. Your opponent won't even fill the board if they play around it, meaning you can probably last long enough to use it. Or something less aggressive than a flamestrike, what about Cabalist's Tome, Ultimate Infestation, Nourish, Call of the Wild?
Another aspect of Grand Archivist that I too thought was a huge downside, was that is removes the card from your deck. But in reality, this is not different that if you were to draw it, and in fact is better! It's effectively like topdecking a free flamestrike. You just play Grand Archivist when you would play flamestrike, and then you 'play' flamestrike at then end of your turn. And now it's not in your deck you can't draw it as a dead draw against two 1/1s, but is also won't be the last card in your deck when you really needed to draw it to win the game. And now your chances of drawing a key card have increased, similarly as to why Patches was so good (apart from the extra 1/1 body on turn 1).
These all work incredibly well with Spiteful Summoner as well, it's now a neutral and far superior Faceless Summoner, providing your deck is built correctly. A 4/4 is roughly 3.5 mana, so you need a 3+ cost spell for technical value. Bump this up to 4 or 5 as a minimum, and now you've got two 4/4s for 6. If you were behind on the board, you certainly aren't now. But even bigger spells, like Flamestrike, or Ultimate Infestation, and now you've got a 2.5 mana Y'Sharrj.
Raven Familiar is similar to one of my favorite cards, King's Elekk. It was used in hunter as a 2 mana 3/2, maybe draw a card, but is so powerful in the right deck as it can draw you specific cards. (See this deck:
Here's my current proof of concept deck:
tl;dr: All in all, I think Blizzard have outdone themselves with their card design this expansion. Lots are very niche, but incredibly powerful in the right situation. They are introducing cards that require more thought in deck building, having to make compromises for consistency. There is also much more interaction with your deck during play, and there are many complexities this brings up (don't remind me about Gnomeferatu). Unfortunately, this probably means none will see play. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to making some crazy decks this expansion.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this matter and what crazy theorycrafts people have come up with.
