Hearthpwn

I'm the happiest with Hearthstone in years since the early release of Prince Renathal.  I'm doing nothing but 40 card pile memes, and I see a lot of other people doing the same thing.  It helps that since I mostly play Magic now that my Hearthstone rank is in the toilet, hehe.

Task 12 for grommash hellscream, deathblow 75 times, holy shit that can suck my cock.

edit: this is even WORSE than it looks.  Most of his 'kills' aren't even counting progress.

Mage games in casual don't work; just tried.

edit: confirming hunter in brawl works; I'll just afk that three times.

If your turn takes so long that it runs 25 seconds into my turn, suck my ten inch dick.

Almost want to boycott this one just to protest The Demon Seed bullshit.

Almost certainly going to be quest related.  I've dropped constructed completely for now, just playing all the other modes.

Well, OP has described the ladder very accurately, and I haven't been touching it beyond the shitty 2500xp quests that force it.  I've been playing Duels, Arena, and Battlegrounds, roughly in that order of frequency.  Duels still has a lot of quest cancer, but it's nowhere near as bad as constructed.

Well, that was fun.  In arena, managed to outplay some guy's incredibly strong start, overcoming a significant disadvantage to take the board and come out ahead.  Opponent then proceeds to topdeck Lady Prestor on an empty hand, then draw a five mana Deathwing followed by two Runaway Blackwings.  If he'd played correctly, I'd have lost before Lady Prestor ever hit the field.

Why is every quest deck straight up gay solo play?  I want to play hearthstone, not watch you beat off.

 LOl, someone deleted my post, but my Elwynn Boar prediction has already come true.  Oh, well.

Early game they need to be shorter; there's almost never a difficult decision to make.  Lategame there are TONS, and the turns definitely need to be longer there.

You used to get golden rares/epics/commons.  Now you get normal ones.

Jace Darkweaver is going to be very good, on the level of Zul'jin

Sheldras Moontree will make combo solitaire druids even more annoying

Rats of Extraordinary Size seems underrated.  It does depend on the cost of the 5/5 rats in hand, though, but it will be good.

Grand Mage Antonidas will be very good; easy to trigger with a lot of already playable cards like Fireball.  Keep the opposing board clean and it's 18 to the face.

Highlord Fordragon will be the stone cold nuts.  It'll easily give 1-2 procs the turn you play it if timed carefully, plus it has divine shield itself, so removing it will usually trigger it again.  Everything is scary when it has +10/+10 or +15/+15, and in aggro it'll always hit a cheap minion, so you can play an 11/11 for 2 mana or something.

Seek Guidance will be really good.  (I don't think this is very controversial, though, lol)

I don't think Darkbishop Benedictus will be tier 1, but it will be fun tier 1.  I'm super happy we can get him in diamond; I'm definitely going to try it.

Elekk Mount will be one of the top most hated arena cards.

Maestra of the Masquerade will suck other than as a meme, and nobody will play it once they figure out it's a Bloodfen Raptor.

Canal Slogger will give Shaman a huge buff in Arena.

Granite Forgeborn will make Elemental Shaman even stronger than it is now.  Something in this deck will get nerfed, probably more than one card.

Tiny Toys will bring back Evolve decks in a big way.

Elwynn Boar will be at least marginally playable.  (I almost pulled it off in duels with just two buckets, got to 6/7 and opponent conceded, and that's with zero support outside the buckets)

Peasant will be in every aggro deck.  Stockades Prisoner will be in a lot of them.

Cornelius Roame will get nerfed.

Control decks will still take more skill to play than anything else but none will be tier 1 again.

After the end of season reward nerf, I couldn't care less about ranked play other than to get the 2500xp quest out of the way, so I don't have any ladder anxiety anymore :)

Heh, the part I'm happiest about is having golden cards in arena again :)
