Yep. It has been updated for a little while now, but we have refrained from putting it on the front page to make sure we had a good support basis again and had it back to a working state.
With Battlegrounds coming out this seemed like the perfect time to announce that it's back and more useful than ever. :)
We wanted to make extra super duper sure that we would be able to support it and keep it maintained on a level that we were used to. So we did a soft launch, with just mentions on the forums in several places. And we are confident we can now. :)
Yep, but now backed up by hard statistics. This is also just the tip of the iceberg. There's far more interesting stuff.
Like, when you can see the win % and the pick % of Heroes and can start digging in to that. For instance, Toki has a higher pick %, but her win % is lower. That makes sense to us, cause Toki was very good and got nerfed, but people will still pick her based on previous experience and name recognition.
But in the data we have so far, Patches the Pirate actually has the opposite. His pick % is lower but his win % is higher, which begs the question why. Bad reputation? Seemingly weak Hero Power that is stronger than people have given it credit for? Sample Size playing a part?
It's all in play, and the more stats we gather, the better we will know what's true. :)
That's all the spells in the Battlegrounds section. You will see that the mana costs of the spells in there is all over the map. ALL of those are free at the moment. None of the cost gold directly. The map costing gold would be a first among them.
There's also a technical issue, Battlegrounds doesn't use mana, so how would they even display a spell costing gold? There would have to be some kind of behind the scenes way to display that on a card and have it be intuitive and easy to understand. From what we know there is no such way at the moment.
So yeah, I think the Discover card for the minion is free to play, and will discover a minion from a certain tier, most likely the tier you just upgraded to.
The Frozen on Sindragosa's hero power is most likely reffering to keeping minions in Bob's tavern, as ALL minions that are frozen at the end of your turn will get +1/+1
I'm an idiot. That did not occur to me at all that they might have used that as a mechanic to buff minions. I'll update the article with this very obvious info. Thanks all!
With our latest update to our Innkeeper app we introduced some tech that will allow us to provide a host of things related to Battlegrounds.
What will Innkeeper do precisely? It will do much the same thing it always has, but now related to Battlegrounds! It starts with collecting data, about wins and losses with Heroes and your rating changes but also what minions you have on your board when the game ended, as well as being able to show your current minions live in our decktracker.
We have big plans to serve you the results of this data in ways that will help you play the game better, but we first need more data to help us realize those plans and give us a robust sample size.
So what can you do to help? For the time being you can help us by updating to the latest version of Innkeeper and playing battlegrounds. Simple as that!
If you have questions or run into issues with this latest version of Innkeeper, let us know in the comments!
The thing is that "best deck" in this context means "Most upvoted". Last time we did this list a Druid deck was featured that actively helped your opponent. So it's not really ever been a "victorious on ladder" list in the past either. It's the most popular decks, the decks we can assume people enjoyed most, wether that is through being good on ladder, funny, or, like in this case, a thoughtful Theory. :)

Thank you for the report. I will get this in the hands of our devs a.s.a.p. so we can hopefully get this fixed.

You have 4 cards in your deck instead of 3. Remove one and you should be able to play I assume.

Blizzard posted about it being officially disabled now. Pack it in boys and girls. Better luck tomorrow. :(

With the caveat that this is all datamining and that we won;t be sure until we see it in action but, this is MY interpretation:
