This card is THE NUTS. Just imagine this combo:
Reckless Diretroll discards this + Expired Merchant into High Inquisitor Whitemane.
Every fucking time you use Soulwarden you get a Twisting Nether combined with Guldan. INSANE. Discard warlock is real baby!

I think who cares? They're pixels.

So far after having read every comment posted so far it seems like the salt should be expected, brace for it, thrive on it, revel in it. But you may also make legitimate friends and if you can laugh off the salt it is worth it. Very glad I asked this question and I feel better now about the fact I keep (misguidedly so far) accepting these requests. At least I know to type up a response before I accept and to know the situation in which the request was made.

I personally think its worth the risk. I like sending friend requests to ask about odd tech choices in otherwise established decks (what was that Alexstraza doing in your Deadman's Hand Warrior? How is it working out?), innovative decks, asking what was in their hand at the end, or to make suggestions if they are doing something experimental and I think I've got a better solution for them to try. And I love getting these types of friend requests as well so I find it worth it to tune out the hate to savor the nice ones.
At the same time I have gotten pretty good at quickly typing: "And you lost to it."

Make Charrrrrrrge! a battlecry so it is just a dormant (still free) 1/1 when pulled out.

Quote from redwings13400 >>Quote from zzAMBIENzz >>Yeah ... having come from the Death Trap that is Mobile Strike, Hearthstone is beyond reasonable. I have told the whole story several times on here already, so I won't go into full detail, but long story short, I spent over $70,000 USD on Mobile Strike in just over a year playing. I was able to recover about $40k of that through various means, but I still learned a $30k lesson about gaming addiction. Luckily, for me, the loss wasn't catastrophic as it was for others I played with ... I saw life savings disappear, marriages dissolve, and multiple suicides. That game, and others like it are pure evil. Hearthstone is nothing, even at the worst possible level, compared to those games.
Pic below is just part of one single day of what Mobile Strike can do to ya. (currency is foreign ... figure about 1/10th to get it into USD)Wow, that's insane, I'm really glad you've recovered from that and managed to leave that game. I imagine it kind of creeps up on you with the sunk cost fallacy until life is literally not sustainable, you start pursuing a goal and then suddenly another thousand dollars here or there is small compared to what you've already spent? I despise a lot of mobile games for this reason, they're built specifically to lure people in that way and get them to spend more and more money on it. It is a trap, and its a horrible and malicious one. I'm impressed you managed to get out of it after getting that far deep, it could not have been easy.

4-attack minions forever will be the bane of Priest. Twilight Drake is incredibly difficult for Priest to deal with if they don't have something to silence it with.

Ticking Abomination, is a 4 mana 5/6 card.
The downsides are that it destroys your own board and prevents you from building a board, except from this there are no other downsides.
The upsides are that it is a perfect reasonable defensive card that can easily trade 2 for 1, but it requires a deck to work where your win condition does not require you to have your own board. And yes fatigue/mill warrior is the deck where this abomination fits in perfectly.
I have been play testing this card for days in my fatigue warrior list (which I piloted to rank 3+), and it really is an amazing addition to it. The win condition in these kinds of decks never cared about your own board state, the only thing we worry about is how to survive and cycle as much and efficiently as possible. However when I tried to bring this up for discussion just now at the "competitiveHS" reddit, I got insta banned and they told me that if I wanted to troll I should go to "reddit hearthstone circle jerk" , just because the card " ticking abomination" is in the deck.
Are competitive HS players on that subreddit really that close minded and unoriginal or do you people really think the card is abysmal without play testing it at all? For those interested in the deck , I wrote a guide on the warrior section for fans of the fatigue playstyle, you can find it over here: Decklist and guide

Just happened yesterday:
1. I won a game against all odds.
2. I lost to a guy who just played well.
3. A card I crafted for meme is actually preforming very well and saving me games.
4. A combo deck I made on my own is doing pretty well on ladder.
5. I lost to a player who used a card I've never seen anyone else play and it was a perfect counter to my combo.
6. I actually managed to complete my OTK combo in many of my games yesterday and the feeling was awesome.
7. I had a nice chat with one of my in-game friends.
looking forward for tonight :)

He's not amazing, but he's not that bad, I've had decent success with him.
I think he relies a ton on getting a token turn 1 though, which lets you sell the tokens on turn 2 and turn 4 to have an even amount of mana both those turns. If you do that, he can tier up to 2 on 2, then have six tier 2 units and tier up to 3 by turn 5. When he highrolls, he's actually really strong.
Personally, I think he should be changed to start with a coin in his hand, which would let him tier up on 2 every time, and make him much more consistent at getting out of the gate. He really suffers when you don't get a token on turn 1, because his late game is bad, and he needs a pretty big early game edge in order to be viable.

I've had a ton of fun playing battlegrounds, its been a really refreshing game mode in hearthstone, and as someone who really likes deep diving in to stats, I was really curious to see my official statistics on battlegrounds. When I bought my 10th descent of dragons pack, I took a look at my stats so I could see how many games I've played and see my overall winrate, overall top 4 rate, my winrate with various heroes, and...
Found these stats nowhere to be seen.
I'm really disappointed in blizzard's stat tracking page, and am wondering if there's a fan stat tracker that shows something more useful. Top 4 and first are both good stats to have, but I'd love a graph that shows how many times I've gotten each position, compared to one another. The stats I have are... well... completely impossible to contexualize and totally useless right now, especially without knowing how many games I've played, which is the single stat that I want the most.
I think some stats in the blizzard stat tracker are even misleading, as top 5 heroes by wins records me with 18 wins, when I only have 11 first place finishes. I... Think a blizzard 'win' is top 4? That's not a bad category, but they need to call it something other than wins.
All I really know now is that I have 39 top 4s, 11 first place wins, and 22 hours played in this game mode, while hovering at around the 6k rank, which is... well... about exactly what I knew before I unlocked this page. So yeah, super sad and anybody who has a better battlegrounds stat tracker would be awesome now, especially if it could read all the games on my account.

Not amazing obviously, but not as bad as people here think imo. Warlock just got a lot of cards that are really strong if they can survive using them, and this has a demon tag. When I was experimenting with even warlock before it got popular I often really wanted a cheap minion that gained me a bit of health in the early game, and felt like viscious scalehide and plated beatle were both viable ways to do that.
This card is comparable in some ways to those cards, and if the demon tag matters, I think it could be an inclusion in some sort of self damaging deck.

Don't underestimate this card, divine shield is very good as a buff, because it often allows you to trade against a bigger minion and take no damage in the process. As a standalone card its not great, but as a +2/+4, destroy your opponents 3 drop (or a bigger minion later game), it could be pretty decent.

If the first legendary spell is any indication, these won't necessarily be spells you'll want to play more than once. For example, there's not really much benefit to drawing your deck multiple times. What random spell generation does give you is the ability to get the spell in your hand earlier, which could be pretty good, depending on circumstance.

I actually kinda like the concept behind this as an event, with the knowledge that it would be a complete rng fiesta.
As is, it would take way too long to complete a game though. Maybe if all 100 people were taking their turns simultaneously, and/or if it were just 16 people or something, it could work.
Eh, could be a fun tavern brawl, a terrible game in general. Would need a different requirement on getting the pack, because winning one of these would be improbable.

Ben Brode's laugh is a magnificent work of art, and he knows it. I'll never get tired of hearing it.

As a F2P player who only entered this game near the end of gadgetzan, I don't have the budget to play wild. I basically disenchant all of my wild only cards so I have enough dust to try and craft interesting constructed decks.

Lets see, a 3 mana 2/5 is fine stats, especially for a control deck. A 3 mana 2/5 lifesteal/taunt is pretty good, I would probably include it in a deck. I think it will be pretty solid with other buff cards, but buff paladin will still be a pretty weak deck overall.

I think OTK tools feel more powerful than they actually are when you're playing against them, because you notice them when they kill you. Divine Spirit/Inner fire is usually saved for a game ending combo, so when you lose against priest, you know they're running it. Leeroy and charge minions feel similarly overpowered while playing against them, because you notice when they come out for lethal. You don't really notice as much when they're in your opponents hand all game taking up space and not doing anything.
I don't know whether this deck is actually overpowered or not, but I understand the knee jerk reaction to hate it when its used against you.
