iPad Pro M1 (2021) and IPad 10 both work great, very few crashes even on long battlegrounds games .  iPad 10 seems to have slower (ie better) battery drain but that may be because that particular tablet has not had as much use

However, older tablets we own which used to run HS smoothly a few years ago are now absolutely unusable with frequent crashes, slow responsivenesss etc

I've had to download the 3GB patch twice already, and a smaller one multiple times on IOS.  PC client working fine.

With Arfus at 25 health, which of the other heroes can beatdown fast enough to kill him?

He's still most likely going to dominate the late game

Oh no - I’m at a very middling rank in Twist and already every game is a 30 minute Arfus mirror :( I decided early that it was my favourite and after playing it experimenting with other decks was not enjoyable 

Does it have a counter or is it just the best deck?

You can use rerolls to move all the quests to ones that you can get by messing around (like play battlecry minions, deal damage to enemy hero etc).  I did exactly this and have been playing the new BG stuff stress free.  The 15 win requirements are brutal and I would realistically not hit this without deliberately grinding for it - absolutely not what I'm looking for in a casual IPad card game.  

Ridiculous change and I hope someone at Blizz gets a severe telling off

I've collected all of the drops on Twitch, but only managed to pick up the first couple in game.  Anyone else struggling to receive the drops in game?

The tavern pass is usually just about worth it at the start of the expansion if you expect to get to at least level 200 or so, as any non-cosmetic value is tied up in gold from the extra experience, the diamond legendary Velarok Windblade, the signature epic Wishing Well (it will reroll dupes if you already have normal versions) and the 2 golden standard packs.

Right now I'd skip it and wait for the next one, unless Velarok Windblade gets a buff, particularly as you've missed a month of bonus exp if you buy now.

If you're already at the over 75% on every expansion (which a lot of members of this forum will be), it sounds as though you can open 50 packs to force the first pity on 5 legendaries, one from each expansion.  Might be a pretty useful option dependent on availability of these packs.

It's refreshing to not have a variety of easy, cheap draw for each class. And there's not a ton of discover, which is nice. But instead of putting this in a sidequest mode, they should just remove discover and reduce card draw in the main mode.

 Exactly - Twist feels more like hearthstone.  My decisions matter much more.  I dont lose or win because of <insert BS here>.  Turns dont go on for 10 minutes while people draw and discover endless cards.  Standard is so stupid right now.  Titans suck.  Just high roll heaven for bad players and noobs. 

That being said, most games are still decided by card draw & getting your outs before the other guy.  No way around it.  But it feels way more legit now than in Standard or Wild where its 99.9999976% luck and every game is decided by turn 3.

 Totally this.  In Twist, I've had actual constructed games where the board state was a contest not a steamroll, evolved over a few turns, and determined the games outcome

Doesn't look like you can, but if you're opening say, 100 packs, you could open 60 using the mass feature and then do the remainder manually.

IMO what would be cool is an "open until legendary" option, that skips past all the non-legendary packs and lets you flip over the cards individually for the pack with the legendary in, then finally gives you the rather stale pack opening report shown in the vid.

What is "Ranked Lite Skin - Earthen Brann (Hunter)" ?

If you're willing to spend money but want to cheapskate through this expansion, you can probably get by with the battlepass plus one of the bundles blizz puts out when the expansion drops - there is often one with 10 expansion packs, 10 standard packs and 2 legendaries for around half the cost of the small preorder.  This assumed you're willing to burn through some of that dust, and it's a risk as they don't announce those bundles in advance.  I've been trying to cut down too as similarly have ridiculous amounts of dust unused.

Steamcleaner is an instant win against the second phase as it eliminates Diablo’s whole deck and puts him on fatigue  - just play anything with a bit of survivability and add those

1000g for a skin and brawl ticket seems fair if you like the skin, and encourages participation in the brawl even if you're not really competitive, making the other brawl rewards slightly easier for everyone else.  I hope this becomes the standard for future brawls

Blood DK's counterplay to druid revolves around getting lucky with Dirty Rats and Patches.  Helps to have Zola too.  If you snag the Jailer or Tony and have a suitable board clear for the one big board that will follow, they are dead.  If you miss them or they Fizzle a copy of them first, you're dead.  It sucks that it can take 10-20 minutes to get to important dice roll.
