Hearthpwn

It's been almost 2 years, sadly I haven't managed to get him the first time.

If you ask me, all these limited time hero skins should be available to purchase all the time, just like the first 3 were for a long time. Or at least have them go through a rotation, while also adding expansion preorder skins to the poll after their respective sets rotate out.

Thoughts?

IMHO there's a value curve for every secret and their respective class, it should be the same as with rarity, for example, if a secret is printed as an epic card, you expect it to be very good, at the very least. That's not the case with every secret, but from what I've seen, they get printed in a rarity that allows flexibility with all manner of players and playstyles. 

There's one crucial thing to always remember though. The Mage class in HS is synonymous with the word casino, just like I've mentioned in the identity thread OP started a few days back. Every single mage spell since the dawn of time has a dash of gambling sprinkled over the initial design choices. You mainly play secrets because you like to have a good payoff, not for flavor or because you feel like it.

In the end, it comes down to every player's preference. Every single card is worth whatever you decide it's worth to you because you're the one playing the game. As long as you're having fun, min/maxing isn't a priority anymore. It comes naturally. Or not at all.

I'd put money down on Lord Barov, Headmaster Kel'Thuzad,Lorekeeper Polkelt, Speaker Gidra, Ras Frostwhisper, Instructor Fireheart. 

The keyword for mage is casino. 

For priest it's reborn/resurrect/confusion. 

And last but certainly not least, for hunter, the keyword is FACE!, has been since the closed beta.

The exclusivity argument makes no sense to me. Since we got the random card back thing a while back, that's all I've been using, getting a different card back everyone, or every time you open a pack feels much more in line with what I'm personally looking for in a game, and that diversity.

I might have a card that I haven't seen in over a year, why should it bother me if someone else had the chance to get it? Preorder card backs were never that popular, to begin with, a lot of legend players use their legend card back as a scare tactic, some use the classic card back as a throw off to make you think you'll have an easy time or the opposite, it's all good fun and games.

No use hating on the topping, it's the filling that should be our focus.

I can confirm that as of today it still doesn't sink, tried an updated version, then a clean install, same outcome.

Still a fun deck, it's main weaknesses are hyper-aggressive opponents and bad draw, otherwise, you're good to go.

So of course after a 30-minute match against res priest, I manage to win just to be matched with a DH, of course, that by chance ended up having GOD draws, of course, every turn, of course, and sent me back to the matchmaking screen in less than 2 MINUTES! At silver rank 2. On a goddamn Sunday morning. FFF!

That's SkillStone for you folks, a game where no matter how much you practice and how good you get, there will always some idiot playing cards that almost play themselves. 

Just matched against a guy in TB that got 5 Huffers out of his first 6 ACs played. Dude should buy a lottery ticket. Maybe even several. Had to put my phone down and step away from it before something questionable happened...I mean...IT'S A 1 OUT OF 3 EVERY TIME, HOW DO YOU GET HUFFER 5 OUT OF 6 TIMES?

All I wanted was to see where Bob would end up opening a new tavern, he's the only reason the first two solo contents of last year were worth revisiting over and over, at least for me. :D

something needs to be done about rogue, faced 3 of them back to back in standard ladder, either nerd Vilespine to 6 mana, or send Malygos to hall of fame, I don't care, just stop the cancer from spreading any further...it gets stale when all you see is him trying to get the combo pieces and skipping turns in between...

my whizbang decks aren't giving any xp after ranked wins, is that a bug ?

Lumberjack's hatchet would have been a much better name for this card imo.

What's with all these epics that don't belong in the epic slot? Seriously now, a 4 mana Darkbomb with the chance of getting a coin?  In what world is that concept worth of the epic quality? FeelsbadRogue

It seems too convenient to me that ranked goes down right when the new wild brawl comes in...I mean it's been almost a full day and they still haven't fixed it, so meanwhile, if you want to play against random people, brawl is the way to go, and after the first run, you need to fork up some gold, or money. Tomorrow will come with some news, maybe regarding the next set, so a "small hiccup" like this one looks like a great way of making people (indirectly) spend their gold so that they have to buy packs with real money when the new expansion arrives.
