Hearthstone |OT6| C'THUN for President! Why pick the lesser evil?
- Thread starter ZealousD
- Start date
Just pointing out that Challengestone #1 happened before TGT and LoE. So there are a defitinely some improvements to be made to those decks. I'm thinking of a few things off the top of my head:
Those are just the first ones that came out when I thought about this for a few min. I'm sure there are more.
- Elise Starseeker aka Golden Monkey
- Eydis Darkbane & Fjola Lightbane the 3/4 for 3 Legendaries
- Astral Communion? (probably still bad)
- Entomb
- Ancestral Knowledge (are you really playing shaman tho?)
- Gang up ?????

OK, don't play Kibler's Druid deck. It's terrible.
Yup
Also just got Alexstrasza from the brawl pack, what are the chances of her being nerfed?

Looks we're getting the same reveal stream followed by a Facebook dump that day, just like TGT. I NEED IT.
So 24th looking likely?

Card dump happening next week after all. Finally.

It's widely assumed to be an April 26th release date based on the GameInformer article leak and the Battle.net store message when purchasing Naxx.
Oops, that's what I meant, the gameinformer leak.

The cool thing about being a newbie is you can get commons you need, and it's still pretty satisfying. I just got my second Lightning Bolt so I don't have to craft it - yay!

Thanks, that worked great with a few mods as I didn't have everything. Aviana was a lifesaver.
Brawl pack was decent with a golden rare, rare, and epic.
Weird, thought you just got that one.
I've been seeing so many face hunters today, it's crazy. Also, why is it always huffer.
weirdest mage I've ever played, played mirror image > mirror image > ping > ping > booty bay bodyguard > booty bay bodyguard > mountain giant > healbot, he was dead by that point but wtf deck was that.

So many Druids on ladder.
Just in the last 7 or so matches I've gone against egg Druid, combo Druid, ramp Druid and Astral Communion Druid.

It is overrated, but there are few decks that have such a frustrating perfect curve to go up against.
Those "impossible" losses stick hard in people's minds.
3 drops in Standard: http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards?filt...filter-unreleased=1&filter-class=17&display=3
You could summon Acolyte of Pain and lose the fatigue war!

I mean silver hand knight is a 6/6 for 5 mana and never sees play.
I like it. Seems Blizzard is finally making the discovery that the Pokemon CCG devs made a while back, you have to make late game stuff relatively OP if you want it to see use.
It shouldn't be a common though. That arena balance...

As a Mage I'm happy
As a Hearthstone player that shit is fucked up, we just removed shitty RNG cards and you just hand us another one that basically functions the same way as Shredder/Sky Golem.

Aka the Duelyst mindset.
In Duelyst cards are basically same stats for cost as HS until around 4. After 4 they scale up live crazy.
A War Golem in HS is 7 mana 7/7... in that game it's 7 mana 10/10. And that card STILL sees very little play.
That sort of makes sense if you want to push a late game playstyle.
Ok, I'll bite. 5/5 for 6 isn't exactly top tier stats, Bolderfist is 6/7. There are quite a few 1 Atk minions at 3 cost, but the majority are 2 or 3 (and a few 0s in there too). Health values also vary wildly between 1-4. So you can reasonably expect to get at least 7/7 stats from this split across 2 bodies.
It's a very strong card, in a good number of cases better than Boulderfist. However that is it. It is a totally vanilla minion otherwise. You can't really count on getting any specific effect from the 3 mana summoned minion, but there are lots of interesting ones: Flamewaker, Alarm-o-bot, Acolyte of Pain, Divine Shields, Charges, taunts, etc.
This card is really good, but you basically get a roll of the dice for a 3 drop and a 5/5 neither of which you can assume will have any specific effect. In arena this card is beyond amazing, I'm assuming this is a TOP PICK there. In constructed, depends. I can see a world where this doesn't do anything specific enough to be worth it.
I imagine it's like boom and the boom boots, you would get 2 random 3 drops not 1 that got discovered twice
