Hearthpwn

For Naxx to finally come out

First deck in the list contains unreleased cards.. Am I missing something?

No real win condition that I can see

Thank you :)

Where is that shaman hero from?

No dust back for shudder, they are not nerfing the shudderwock card, they are nerfing saronite chain gang, a common that is included in the shudderwock deck

This should be obvious, you can't play a minion on a full board, magnetic is a keyword used on minions only = therfore you can't play magnetic minions on a full board, shouldn't even be a question

 Why shouldn't it be a question? When the magnetic minion is played on the left side of a mech, it is no longer a minion, it's a buff on an existing minion already on board, so realistically speaking you're not 'gaining' extra board space.

I'm glad you think it's obvious but I think it's a valid discussion

Are you just picking something out to disagree with? It makes perfect sense. Same reason you can’t play Carnivorous Cube on a full board; the keyword is that they need to be PLAYED first. After that, the effect takes place.

I’m sorry, but it really is just THAT straightforward.

 Calm down, it really is a good question for new players.  We should be more helpful towards newer members to the community, and not just shoot them down. No need to sound so patronizing.  I do think the magnetic keyword would be confusing if I was just starting Hearthstone up today (and also, if I didn't watch their release trailer thing describing it). Nobody likes to watch those videos though lol =P

Sorry, but you can not force others to behave the way you want. If someone doesn't like new players and questions like this one, he or she has the right to express his/her disconfort towards them. Many new players aren't kids that need human warmth, they are grown teenagers or adults with enough capacity to understand the simple mechanics of Hearthstone if they put some effort when thinking about them. After all, Hearthstone is not rocket science.

Dude! He said "We should..." he didn't say "We must...". He was trying to show support not boss people around. He was literally doing what you said others have the right to do, express themselves.

Honestly, I try and post a simple discussion thread on a rather confusing (my opinion) mechanic and people lose their sanity over it.

 Carnivorous Cube is a battlecry, but no I wasn't just picking out stuff to disagree with, I was trying to have a discussion

You can't play minions on a full board. It makes sense you should not be able to play magnetic ones either. They have to be placed at a side too.

I appreciate that the concept is straightforward, however this punishes archetypes that like to go wide (token druid, aggro paladin and whatever the new meta brings, etc).

Also, in the realistic sense, the minion is attaching itself to another minion, therefore not occupying a space on the board. The issue is the game rules stopping you from being able to play the card.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what's possible and what's not

Has Blizzard explained how playing a magnetic minion in magnet mode will work on a full board?

Assuming that it is a minion when played on the left and not a buff then technically the game shouldn't allow you to play the card as you'd have a full board. 

For example if it was your turn and you draw a really nice magnetic minion and you want to buff a mech on board but your board is full, that would be pretty bad as you'd be forced to make an unfavorable trade if you're smorcing or you'd be completely unable to play it if you can't remove any of your minions on board. 

Who watched all 1 hour 45 minutes of that?

Personally, I watched 2 minutes and spent about 15 seconds skipping through the rest

Seriously, you do not need the duration of an entire film to relay the information in the video. Work on sticking to the point and getting the information across.

A friend said to me today that he can't understand how sacrificing the ability to play odd cards in your paladin deck can be worth the 1 mana hero power and honestly I didn't have an answer to this..

Can anybody explain how/why this is the case? With Even Paladin dominating the meta I acknowledge that it is good but is it really better than a normal paladin deck where you can play Even and Odd cards?

HSReplay says that in the current meta this paladin deck: https://hsreplay.net/decks/cX9aFY7PaoVwfWoP1hmJfh/ has a 58.98% winrate.

That is specifically between rank 15-11 with a 138,000+ sample size. It is the top tier 1 deck, with murloc pala close second.

Third is spiteful druid.

Hope that helps
