??? Really??This is destroy... Could be Voodoo Doll but it says Random... 

It does not take control of the opponent's minion, so it's not even near Sylvanas Windrunner

It won't work, as it does not give you 4 battlecries if you play two murmuring elementals.... Twice will always be twice

Am I the only one seeing Shrek's hand?

I logged in the game yesterday and checked my Quests then I realized something ! 

 

I won 9999 games in Ranked so far ! Too much playing I guess .... 

so I wonder how many Games you Have won ? and if you can Post a Screenshot for it ? :) 

I couldn't post the screenshot from my mobile so I put it in my Avatar Pic .. 

The number in the quest log screen is not ranked wins, it is wins from all non-pve game modes (casual, ranked, arena and brawl). If you want to know your ranked wins, you have to go into ranked and look at wins with each class (as if you were looking how many wins till golden portrait) ;-)

 That's easy to find! lol

That's 4797 on the quest log vs 2706 in ranked with every hero 

 We have about the same amount of wins overall. I just got to 4803 wins. I have three golden hero's and some others that are close, so I'd say I have about 2200 ranked. 

 

When I first started playing I didn't realize there were rewards for ranked and just messed around in casual. I missed a lot of card backs. :(

 I got only two golden heroes (an about 50 to the third). I've done something similar, but so far got all card backs they've given

Help me remember, Is Witchwood Grizzly the first card that goes through art change? I can't remember another that has...

Reading a reddit thread I founded people laughing about always reading that Flamewaker as Flamewalker, which it happens to me often.

It happens the same thing with Witching Hour, that I read as Watching Hour.

Are there any cards in the game you misread?

I actually like it a lot.

I don't have much to add to what others have said: I use it to just give the opponent something to use removals on, to trade or to finish him. 

I feel the DK cards are actually really good, if you use them in the right time (a bit better than Yesera's).

I've been using the LK in a big priest, in which (aside getting a 1/1 from barnes) it's quite good to resurrect 1 or 2 extra LK. I also use it as a late Taunt in quest warrior, Taunt Druid and almost any warlock deck.

Argentina :/ ... We don't get a single promotion here... (no nos dan nunca una promoción)

Frost Lich Jaina because, have you seen her? haha Joke aside, I love the concept.

Freebies

• The first chapter of the solo adventure. (Remaining 4 wings available for gold or $20)
• A legendary card before pre-release begins, playable before the expansion hits.
• A quest chain rewarding multiple free packs for Rise of Shadows and Year of the Raven expansions.
  
  
  
  I think they will give.

i think they confirmed that'll have a free legendary

and it's not the meme one

Is there any difference between adding a lackey and adding a RANDOM lackey to your hand?
As far as i understood there are only neutral lackeys, aren't there?

So, I missed the 2018 numbers being released, but Omnistone had it covered.  If you've already watched the latest Omni, there will only be a small amount of information added here.

For the rest of you . . .

In 2016, Hearthstone made $400 million.

In 2017, Hearthstone made $1400 million.

In 2018, Hearthstone made $700 million.

Frodan rightfully pointed out that two things are worrisome:  First, that's a 50% drop in one year, and second, wild swings in either direction with no explanation often frighten investors.

This is meaningless, in this case, because we know EXACTLY why these swings occurred.  In 2017, Blizzard played the ultimate trump card of the Warcraft IP.  They created an expansion based around Wrath of the Lich King, the expansion of World of Warcraft which catapulted the parent MMO into 12 million active accounts and the largest market share WoW ever held.

The nostalgia factor of Wrath of the Lich King cannot be overstated, and the Hearthstone team knew it.  I certainly wouldn't have guessed it was good for a $1 billion spike, but it was clear before the set was even announced that 2017 was going to be an aberrant year for revenue.

So, what does all this mean?  If you look at the trend of revenue in Hearthstone, you see a steady, relatively high rate of growth punctuated by one crazy spike into the stratosphere and then settling back into the overall trend.  PC Gamer gets to write its hit pieces on Blizzard about the 50% drop last year, but I would imagine Blizzard is quite happy with Cash Cowstone.

Unless . . .

I have written this based on the assumption that everyone on the Activision Blizzard finance side was smart enough to realize the aberrant nature of 2017.  If they were smart enough to understand that 2017 was a windfall and not to plan as if every year going forward would gross a billion plus, everything is great.  If for some strange reason the forecasters got it in their heads that the heights of 2017 would become standard, I weep to think of the unjustified investments that may have been made.

Given Blizzard's 2018 track record, I'm inclined to be nervous.  However, if they have better people than me in their finance departments, all should be good.

Either way, dead game?  Not so much.

This is a more flexible Fandral.

 This is not a Fandral at all.

This is a card that adds a "generate two additional cards" effect to your Choose One cards. Fandral was a tempo card, this is a value card. They have completely different slots

This was excruciatingly painful to watch

 The bugged mechanic may lead to instant memes ^^ . Personally, I thought there was way too much conversation with 3 people talking. Especially during actually playing the cards. I mean, I get they are exited but it is supposed to be for the viewers, kinda (?).

My fear of failure is actually preventing me from even playing HS lately because I feel terrible when I lose. Yes, it's just a game, but still... it happens.

Hope to get some help in this thread

I'm an adult... and it's just a game?

blizz hate you.
