Hearthpwn

Had Thisj running in my background to get the free packs today. Checked in a few times and saw a bunch of long games, but one full game I saw was Thisj fighting someone who figured out aggro druid with the 10 AV card requirement. He got stomped and game was over turn 5. Meta ain't changing any.

Usually, I've been against these theorycraft streams, but I gotta say, it's been fun to consume some Hearthstone content that wasn't dominated by quests!

I liked Zeddy's new video. His analysis was that the best cards of AV will be....old cards.

I love it when Blizzard can't get their times straight /s

Tweet says drops start at 9 am PT, the forum post they link says 10 am PT. Well played.

No quest disruption was added.

Nothing will change.

And what do you think should a neutral quest disruption look like? The obvious one is „your enemy can‘t make progress for X turn.“, but which else? There is not „the solution“ for every quest. I think that the new cards will shake up the meta quite a bit (f.e.: DR/shuffle  Warlock) and with hard to remove cards like the 3/5 legendary, forgot its name,  you need to play minions and a variety of cards, so that quest mage and warlock need to deal with. 

Hungry Quest Crab: 2 mana 2/3 Battlecry: Fail your opponent's quest.

Every other mechanic in the game has a hard counter.  Why are quests special?

demon seed kills all of the new slow stuff

But Questlock can no longer beat aggro the way it used to.

Don't worry -- if the holy trinity of Paladin-Warrior-Hunter isn't topping the charts, Blizzard will take immediate action. Those are the only classes allowed to dominate.

nvm the post has been updated...

Probably same as always 4 hours total. Watch 2 hours, claim you pack and then 2 more. 

So many creators have been AWOL or streaming other games ... I wonder if some of them won't even bother with this, or maybe weren't invited due to inactivity?

Yes! While I'm at work!

Why theorycraft? while quests exist you only can play quests

Exactly. Theorycraft is just a word for marketing and promotion to get as much money on preorders. 

They just want to market the expansion to make more people buy it in the last few days. They always have the restriction of decks with at least 10 new cards so a lot of alterac cards that will see no play end up being on this streams.

I love theorycrafting and talking about it with other people, but watching a well known content creator do it just makes me vomit in my mouth a little.

Maybe it's because they actually get access to the new cards before everyone else and they're only doing it because they're paid to?

I dunno.
