Hearthpwn

I know folks dont generally like long games, but dont people like variety?

Wouldnt it be nice to face a control deck now and then, just for some variety?

I get it.  Blizz hates control.  They hate games going past turn 7.

I for one would love to see more control and disruption in Hearthstone.  Give me walls.  Hand destruction.  Mana denial.  Not just a splash, give me enough to make it a strategy.  Give me alternate ways to compete.

Please.

It is very strong, but if you can survive to the late game it is managable.

But that early pressure can be hard to cope with.

I probably dis onnext 3 times a game.

It is very annoying.

I think it is very possible to play around hysteria and combustion.  Or at the very least to not play into them.

Well, my experience has been different.  Ive only dabbled in other games but here were my experiences.

Gwent:  I kinda hated it.  I felt like I was bringing a rusty butterknife to a gunfight really quickly.  In other words felt like I was bringing a starter deck vs tier 1 decks almost as soon as I left the tutorial.

Mtg:  this seemed pretty good, but it was a little daunting to try and figure out how to get a good deck built.  I feel like if I had started with this game it would have been a good choice though.

Eternal:  I thought Eternal had the best execution for gameplay of all the ones I tried.  Combat was lively, but managed more depth than Hearthstone.  Unfortunately, I got bored of the cards pretty quickly.  Maybe simple cards helped with the gameplay, or maybe I just didnt stick with it long enough, but if there is ever a Hearthstone 2 they should steal heavily from Eternal IMHO.

Runeterra:  I couldnt get used to the turn system.  I constantly was not knowing what was going on.  This is probably a temporary thing, like not being able to figure out what taunt does, but it was an exit point for me.

Hex:  now defunct, but had by far the best pve experience out there.  I wish Hearthstone would steal that.

There were a few more that had nice things to offer.  More often than not I just found the cards to be booring in comparison to Hearthstone.

So at least for now Hearthstone is my game.

It wouldn't surprise me given how they treated Priest this last round of nerfs.

This is all kinds of stupid.  I can't get in, just stuck on loading screens, then errors connecting.

Im the first to complain when I think an expansion looks bad, so let me be the first to say this one looks really good.

The cards look very creative.  They have given us some things to play with that arent midrange for a change.

If they print some good neutral taunt/heals like kartuk defender we might have a decent meta where all types of decks can flourish.

Ive basically sat out the last entire season preferring duels to standard, but Im really liking what they are showing so far.  I might get sucked back into playing standard.

Heck, I might even decide to pre order, that is something Ive never done.

Hopefully it just isnt a case where they showed all the good stuff up front.

Man.  I HATED it.  All I wanted was the stupid pack and it took like what seemed forever to finish.

These seem like much better combo options than any of the new quests.

Looks very strong to me.

Reminds me a little of Sylvanas. l think it will be able to make awkward turns by your opponent, but rarely will it realize its maximum potential.

All in all, I suspect Hunter will prefer more aggressive cards.

What if it lowers by 1 for sure, then 50% chance to raise it by 1.  So, you'd have a 50/50 split of lowering by 1 or doing nothing.

This is my favorite brawl.

It is a little clunky.  Probably too costly to keep in mulligan, but also pretty bad if it is in your bottom 3 cards.

Also, you dont get those cards immediately.

Yeah, this is a little less good than I thought at first.  Still might be good enough, want to see what other draw options Priest gets before I decide.

Hardly seems like filler to me.  Druid had a 5/5 for 7? That drew 2 that needed nerfed to draw 1 instead.

The body is worth 4 and the ability is worth 2.  And a class like Priest with no draw ability and a plan to play the long game will love this.  Even works with res.  

Might have been a priest card imho.
