Captain Blackheart's Spiders
After a glitch which prevented the Tavern Brawl that was supposed to go live this week, Captain Blackheart's Treasure, the brawl was changed out in favour of one of the more popular ones, Spiders, Spiders EVERYWHERE, which fills your chosen class' deck with Webspinner among class-specific spells.
From what we learned today, Captain Blackheart's Treasure is a brawl which instead of giving you a completely random deck with your chosen class, gives you the equivalent of Tracking every turn with 3 random cards in the prompt. Are you looking forward to seeing this brawl in the future?
Card Design Competition Finalist Voting
This week's Card Design Competition theme was a little odd. Participants were tasked with creating cards whose effects referenced odd and/or even game numbers, a condition that has appeared in other card games but has yet to appear in Hearthstone. Even though this competition theme was particularly difficult, twenty cards beat the odds to become finalists.
Who will be #1, and who will just be a remainder? Cast your vote in this week's Finalist Topic to find out next time [on Dragon Ball Z]!
Hearthstone World Championships Day 2 Tomorrow
Day 2 of the Hearthstone World Championships starts at 9 AM PDT this Thursday! We'll be seeing play from the second match-ups in each of the four groups followed by the group elimination matches. You definitely won't want to miss it! We've embedded the stream below alongside polls so you can vote for who you think is going to go through in the second match-ups.
All games will be played out over on the PlayHearthstone Twitch channel.
That Tavern Brawl sounds like a lot of fun.
Real shame about the traven brawl not being ready. Can't wait to play it.
Yep, for spooky scary Halloween.
I guess the only way we could get those spiders for the brawl was if EVERY other brawl has suddenly f8cked up. I don't know why spiders-brawl wasn't broken, anyway.
Spiders? A favorite? really? They need to bring back the draw o matic back already. That was incredibly fun and interesting. A real chance to to try your hand at crafting the perfect deck with minimal chance to interfere.
The 1st day of the world championships was amazing
Yep
These predictions are so far off :D They are more a representation of how popular the respective players are.
Well, yeah, obviously. EU and NA are one in the same when it comes to Hearthstone. Everyone in NA knows the EU pros and vice versa. Few people have heard of the Asian pros, and even fewer know who they are, so people would naturally vote for who they know is good. The only Asian pros most people know are Tiddler and Amaz (who is pretty much NA anyways).
"the brawl was changed out in favor of one of the more popular ones". Just... The previous 2 times the whole community said this brawl is shit, and now they tell the community it's one of the more popular ones? I'm really wondering if they:
A) Think their player base is retarded so they just don't care at all about communicating in a decent way.
B) Are intentionally trying to troll us.
I'm going for A, if you also remind how Ben Brode always talks about the average player being too dump for stuff like extra deck slots and complicated card texts.
not really surprising. i've seen the message like you are in the top 20% or whatever of players with like rank 15 (don't try to masturbate your ego over this, some months i don't get access to internet much).
a lot of people play this game (most of them kids that just play for fun).
The Polls are a joke. American players have no idea who the Asian players are and so it's just "I guess I'll vote for the non-Asian player since I kind of heard of him once."
FML this spider shit is the worst thing ever wtf
I'm quite sure the author meant that the brawl is the most popular one...... In terms of getting flames and hatred!
I like Unstable Portal Brawl the most, and they give us Webspinners, not bad... but WHERE IS MY TREASURE?
Do you think there is any chance that the decks being played these days in the WC can get into the ranked meta?
Oh my god this fucking spider brawl again.
BOOOORING and lame as fuck, come on Blizzard. -_-
It's like Unstable Portal Brawl but you only get beasts -> gets boring even faster.
Well I really hope we are going to see the Blackheart Brawl next wednesday, seems really interesting and fun to play.
I really liked the concept for this brawl, it is like "less rng" even then normal play since you have bigger chances of getting what u want.
I would also love to see a mod where we can build decks ourselves and the "tracking" returns the card to the decj instead of discardind (to deny major abuse by mill decks)
My launcher was saying that the brawl was called Captain Blackheart's Treasure, but instead it was the spiders one! And I was looking forward for a new brawl! Next week I guess!
I do hope they plan on keeping the spider brawl shelved for a long time after this, because it really is dull to me; which is odd, I love the Naxx class challenge with them, but this is slow and painful. Maybe bring back Rag v Nef since it's been a while.
