Get Ready for Batstone #2!

Posted Dec 6, 2016 (Gadgetzan)What does 10 cards mean? 10 different cards from MsoG or 10 out of 30 cards?

Posted Dec 6, 2016 (Gadgetzan)Did they found a sponsor or Cloud9 just gave them the prize pool money?
Cause that was also the fun part of the first one - players were competing for free - just for the fun of something different.

Posted Dec 6, 2016 (Gadgetzan)My explanation:
1 mana 1/1 - bad
1 mana 1/1 charge - not good enough
0 mana 1/1 charge - decent
0 mana 1/1 charge you dont need to have this card in your hand - good
0 mana 1/1 whenever you summon a pirate make you deck more consistend and get a 1/1 charge for free out of your deck - close to broken.

Posted Dec 6, 2016 (Gadgetzan)Should have been not a pirate itself, just like the other legendaries they introduced that synergize with a type but aren't that type itself, likeWrathion

Posted Dec 6, 2016 (Gadgetzan)I missed Firebat's reasoning, but I'll be a dummy and ask... why is Patches banned?

Posted Dec 6, 2016 (Gadgetzan)Blizzard should adopt this concept of tournament to get it's viewership more invested and involved by allowing them to vote on which cards are banned and other restrictions for the pro players. It just adds another dimension and keeps things fresh while creating more interest for viewers it's more engaging for everyone.
It can be flexible rules that can change all the time, like all pro players have to have 1 Angry Chicken in there decks and the rest of the 29 cards is up to the pro player. That would be hilarious and awesome at next years Blizzcon.

Posted Dec 6, 2016 (Gadgetzan)All the Jade Druids need to do is bring the usual decklist with a tech choice from MSoG....
There should have been more restrictions >.>

Posted Dec 5, 2016 (Gadgetzan)This doesn't really feel like the first Batstone to me. with the goal of 'being different from a normal Hearthstone tournament' it seems to be a pretty standard one, other than the banning of Patches the Pirate.

Posted Dec 5, 2016 (Gadgetzan)The 10 MSoG card limit means that we'll probably see more diversity in the Reno lineups, as well as eliminating Freeze Mage, Miracle Rogue, Miracle Druid, certain Dragon Priest lists, and Midrange Shaman.
