That's the kind of randomness that Blizzard loves.

People who take an absurdly long time on early turns should be banned from playing this game. Maybe all video games.
I have 3 dupes in my AnyFin Reno (might add Equality forth). But those times I can't get it off is shear panic. Disgustingly defensive trying to draw cards hoping and praying the next one is my last dupe. I can't tell if it shows up as me stalling, strategic healing, or abject panic.I've seen plenty of Reno decks run duplicates and have rarely seen them run into situations in which they couldn't get it off. Also Reno comes as even more of a surprise as most don't count on it if they notice you playing even one card twice.
EZ Justicar pick
Got that rank 5 on EU, US left a little. Hopefully next time I play ladder is standard. I can't take this ladder anymore. To think people on bnet forums are so sad about the change and want to stay Wild. What a cesspool wild will be in a few months. Bye bye wild.
I had very good success with this druid list. one root, one aspirant, no shades, MCT and one belcher, two drakes. Performing very well against all kind of face decks. Druid, shaman, hunter, mech mage. I beat all of them in a win streak while not losing too much value against control. I do very well in mirror too, I think I only lost one due to garbage hand. Shades are very slow right now imo. Went 8-1. Easy games.
Lifecoach to be banned!! They are trying to play right actually. Druid , patron and rogue players in particular. You have to plan at least 3 turns ahead with those classes. Not everything plays like paladin!

It's Hearthstone. Any and all actions are seen as BM.

Anyfin paladin is such a shitty deck.
Playing against secret paladin is more pleasant.
I really hope they don't allow old murk-eye on standard. Anyfin will be running fucking rampant.

If it was a Paladin card it would be one of each totem on the battlefield. The totems would have Inspire: Attack +2

I now run Rag and other less than useful 7 mana minions as entomb bait. Entomb too stronk. But...I'm glad we have this in the arsenal.

I feel like a lot of cards would just become confusing if this was played.

But he's so well mannered, he says excuse me any time he burps. You just don't find those kind of manners in stitched up monstrosities anymore.
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see the interview recaps posted:
Hearthpwn said:
Will the new players still have the opportunity to enjoy the old Adventures after they cycle out of standard mode?
We're excited to make use of that content in the future. Haven't decided on the details. (Source)
Espo just went tilt on the show because of it.....
I'm very confident the designers will come up with something awesome.

That all reads to me as Brode saying "We haven't a clue what we're doing, and we're basically riding by the seat of our pants on this thing."
That's exciting and terrifying at the same time.

Recognizable soul again. Wish Brode would drop the evasive talk and fuck some cards up like he did with Warsong.
Their hands-off approach has led to ladder being absolutely insufferable for ages, and now at its peak it'd honestly be unplayable if not for the rank 5 rewards.
That's old news and all and I hope they do finally get it right, Brode just needs to stop beating around the bush.

If I lose on Ladder these days I make a mental note of the cards:
"Yeah she would not have won in Standard because her Portal game her Ysera"
Or
"Shredder gave him that Doomsayer that allowed him to get back in the game..."
Ladder is just insufferable right now when you have Standard on the back of your mind. When you take notice of these things it's staggering how many of these cards get played so often. I can't go a game without seeing Minibots, Scientists, Dr Boom, Shredder etc.

We heard the community loud and clear, so, today we are announcing a new tribe for the new Hearthstone, The Randoms. When you play these cards, they will randomly turn into a different card with different mana value and with a diffrent effect. No two games will ever play the same again. To add to this, you won't even be limited to neutral mobs. Any mob from any expansion can come up in standard, and any spell from any class can trigger when a Random tribe card is played. We also gave paladins empowered avenge secret, giving a random minion +6+7 when another one dies

With all the 3+ health and sticky minions, not even close to be honest. Used to be much stronger.

Indeed.
Really need new info pronto. LoE has me hoping a tiny bit they've learned from their past mistakes, tone down the rng and introduce more unique, game-changing and most of all non-tempo-focused/counter-tempo texts. And show me those board clears.
They've shown minimal signs of life re: arena with the two Warrior commons but I'm not expecting much here.

That's by far the most value I've ever seen out of Skulker. He still lost, though.

Again, I have my doubts that blizzard even tests anything. Who thinks a murloc knight should be able to summon another murloc knight.
It's consistent with the text. Just like how Paeltress can summon another Paeltress.

I'd like to see statistics about how many times a joust card has won the game vs how many times a joust card lost the game because it wasn't Sunwalker/Zombie Chow/etc
Had a run where I picked Master Jouster in Arena. Every single time I used him, he tied. Every. Single. Time. Five. Times.
Why wouldn't it? Gorillabot can discover another Gorillabot, Paletress can summon another Paletress.

One of my biggest worries heading into standard is that we get a good control 1 drop again. Losing Chow is my least favorite thing to come from this since I do not want to live in a world where decks start running Gadgetzan Jouster for an immediate huge swing based off the pull.
Avoid joust like the fucking plague, it's not even funny how many times those clowns I was forced to pick have done absolutely nothing. Gadgetzan and Warhorse are the struggle picks I can live with, but I'll take almost anything over Master Jouster.
Only the Paladin ones are fine, surprising no one.

Healing Wave and the hunter elephant are both fine
True, I was thinking about arena-relevant classes there. Elekk is actually very good, Healing Wave not so much in arena but it has seen some use in niche tier 4 constructed decks.
Basically the fine ones are the drops with solid statlines plus an upside. I assume when printing these cards Blizzard was scared of the dreaded control meta, but it was never going to happen on the back of such a clunky, rng-based mechanic.
Healing Wave makes hunters cry. Thanks to it I smile everytime I see one when playing my midrange shaman, I think it's one of my favorite matchups.
Lol I don't think that gadgetzan jouster has ever won a joust. I gave up on those types of cards. While fun when you win, It feels so rare it's not fun. Plus I like to keep my opponents in the dark as much as possible about my deck.

just fucking
just make it so that the person who starts the joust wins on ties
No I will never let this go. it's so stupid.

Yeah but it always pulls your Chow vs their Boom anyway
So Overwatch just added a Profile screen where you can view tons of relevant stats like wins, kills, time played, etc. etc. both overall and broken out by hero. All of this is viewable by yourself and others on your friends list. The game is in closed beta and won't be released for another few months.
Hearthstone has been out nearly 2 years and all we get are total ranked wins, total arena wins and largely irrelevant class levels, viewable only by yourself.
Team 5 plz.

What????// class levels aren't irrelevant. You can get golden ironfur grizzlies and ironforge riflemen, you will need those for standard
Lol, I look at my levels just to see how much I hate shamans. Hate overload
I love the fuck out of my golden Chillwind Yetis. Thank you based Garrosh.

I just had a 1-3 Arena run. :l I haven't had less than 5 wins since before Naxxramas, but today the Arena gods decided every opponent would have an absolute nuts curve. All three of my losses had Zombie Chow being played Turn 1 by my opponent. The mage had Flamewaker, Coin, Arcane Missiles turn 3. The Paladin had Muster + Quartermaster. The Hunter was the least bonkers, but it still curved out perfectly.
This game does its utmost best to ruin my enjoyment of it. Sometimes.

I keep playing hearthstone ( though not much until standard) because i really like the aesthetics of the game and mixing and matching cards. Reno is my favorite because i don't need two of everything and i can play a variety of stuff and hear the weird sounds they make and the effects they have on the playing field. It's just a fun whimsical game when it's not completely maddening with awful cards.

I enjoy the game because I can read/do work then alt-tab over to HS once every 60 seconds, make a few plays, and go back to work/reading. It is a great multitasking game.

Yeah, Hearthstone is absolutely incredible aesthetically. The art (even reused stuff) and the voice overs are really top tier. It's simplicity is also a big reason why I enjoy it although admittedly that's not always a great thing with all the play on curve and smorc stuff.
