so many of these new cards are boring or useless.


i'm looking forward to priest getting a 1/5 6 mana taunt that heals all minions at the end of the turn.

I just want a better reprint of deathlord and velens chosen maybe with upped stats.

Zombie Death-Bringer - 4 mana 4/8 taunt deathrattle. Your opponent puts a minion from their deck into the battlefield and restore 5 health to the enemy minion.

Cleric's Crush - 3 mana spell - Give a minion +2/+2 and spell damage +2.

Idk if anyone posted this, but Wario64 posted an Amazon deal on twitter for their appstore. If you download and play "Hay Day" through the Amazon app store (via phone or an emulator) they will give you a $10 appstore credit, which you should be able to use to buy Hearthstone stuff (packs, expansions, arena runs, etc.) in a similar way to the Amazon Coin discounts.

Have you gotten the credit? I still haven't gotten mine and I tried this last night

It says to wait up to 48 hours before getting an email.

Interestingly enough, I sent an email via the contact us and they responded within an hour saying there was a glitch and they gave me a credit to my account (which can be used on anything! Hahaha) But checking my account now, it looks like I got it? You might want to try emailing/chatting with them

It does say on that page it can take 24-48 hours to get the credit

6 mana 7/6 Taunt

Interview with Mike Donais, some excerpts:

maybe there are some more cards that will get you excited about The Curator that people haven’t seen yet

So seems like there is going to be another dragon, beast, mech, or murloc card in the set.

But my favourite legendary hasn’t been revealed, so I think that will get people excited too. ...he goes in my Priest deck and my Mage deck.

His favorite legendary he runs in priest and mage. That seems like... pretty interesting. Hard to really think what might work in priest and then again in mage. Maybe a high health minion with discover a spell and taunt? hmmm

there are a couple of other cards like that in this set, where even though they’re neutral, they actually apply to Priest better than other classes.

We’re seeing a more diverse meta than we’ve ever seen. We’re seeing more than ten decks getting played a lot competitively. The win rates of the best decks are closer together than they’ve ever been. They’re closer to 50% than at any time before. So by any mathematical measurement, this is the best meta we’ve ever had, and I think it’s a good time to celebrate that and be happy about that.

I think this is true, although the amount of warriors makes it feel less so.

It kind of doesn’t bother me that Warrior has five different decks, because they’re all different styles. The Warrior win rates aren’t any higher than, say, Shaman or Warlock, so power-wise it’s totally fine.

What’s the best card in the game?

I’d have to check my notes but I know that Tirion [Fordring] is above Fiery War Axe.

http://www.pcgamer.com/mike-donais-...ry-war-axe-is-the-best-card-in-hearthstone/2/

 

[CelticKnight]

Has some website put up a Warrior "meta" deck that includes involves using a Commanding Shout and Wild Pyromancer?

Run into it a few times tonight and it's shit, haven't lost to it yet, but it's odd that a combo I'd never seen before all of a sudden appears every time I play a Warrior at the moment.

EDIT: Found it. Worgen OTK Combo Warrior on where else but TempoStorm.

the rest of leg is most likely Romero and Julliane, both doesn't had high HP

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Those 2 are likely bound to each other or just part of a set like feugan and stalagg. They were listed as 4/2s right, with high cost so that is either a red herring or one summons the other and they have synergy of some high amount to make up for stats. My initial thought on those 2 cards is that they actually buff eachother while they are both on board, so they can still be 4/2s and remain with high health.

I don't think they've stated how many legendary cards there will be. Have they?

I'd say low ranked player most likely not good enough to play that deck

also you lucky not being brokeback'd by that deck yet

Does anyone have a link to where I can look at all the cards revealed?

Awesome, app froze because I changed audio plugs. And it doesn't even appear crashed for like a minute. I relaunch bnet and it takes a minute to connect... wtf.

Damn, I wanna play some yogg rogue... hotform's deck is scarily close to mine but likely way more competitive...

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Starting the new season at rank 20.

Facing Mage with my Zoolock.

Turn 5, I have almost a full board, he plays Cabalist's Tome.

Turn 6 (no coin), I have lethal, he plays Ethereal Conjurer.

Okay.

Is this for US only? Im in EU, and I'm running into some issues.

Fist I downloaded the amazon appstore from the google play store. There I found Hay Day (with no mention of a free $10), but it told me I couldnt download Hay Day through there, and instead should install the amazon underground app. Now I installed amazon underground, but Hay Day is not on there? It doesnt show up when I search for it.

Anyone have suggestions?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Did you try it from your browser? I did it through there and I'm in Canada (need an Amazon US account).

I used amazon underground app to get it.

I'm not even sure where you would check the amazon app balance though. I guess it comes in coins?

They did just have a large banwave on cheaters in OW. I am guessing that is why. People think they're entitled to cheat in a game just because they spent money.

Trump going in on Prince Malchezaar.

https://youtu.be/JjDQliw0NFY

I don't know how competitive he will really be but that's a pretty dangerous prediction to make.

he's 100% correct though, which is somewhat surprising for Trump.
Card is absolute trash. It wouldn't be a bad card if you could activate that effect on command, IE when you know that padding out your deck will be beneficial, allowing you to spend more of your cycle cards.

Instead malchezaar puts 5 shitty legendaries in your deck in every matchup. How do I know they're shitty? if they were good you would have included them in your deck already. If you included them in your deck already YOU AREN'T GETTING THEM OFF MALCHEZAAR.

When I first saw it it was mistranslated with the wrong text and we thought it was beginning of turn and that seemed like "maybe". but as it is it's a fucking dumpster fire of a card.


Edit: I forgot to mention that you don't even want to draw him so putting him in your deck puts 6 shitty cards in your deck and takes potentially a good card out of it because he's played as a vanilla 5/6 that demands fucking nothing from your opponent, your opponent sees you play Prince Malchezaar and laughs his fucking ass off "THAT'S why he had lorewalker cho in his deck!"

 

[fertygo]

I'm not excited to try PM in midrange deck anymore that for sure, oh well..

the mistranslated text sound better

cool card image tho

 

[KuroNeeko]

Man, this outrage over Priest is pretty amusing (in a masochistic kind of way). You guys (royal) asking for Priest buffs are gonna be crying if / when Priest becomes a Tier 2 / Tier 3 class, and I play Priest more than all the other classes combined.

Well they should be because the skins are dreadful

Track & Field Tracer is awesome.
The only crime is that there's no Mei.

No Mei. No pay.

he's 100% correct though, which is somewhat surprising for Trump.

Depends on the context. If we're talking in a tournament setting or in ranked play, then sure, PM may be junk. Not every card is designed for the pro tier of players (since they represent a very small percentage of the Hearthstone population.)

I think PM is great at what it's designed to do.

1) give newer players more opportunities to play with more legendaries
2) potentially create more interesting, meme-orable experiences (akin to Elise, Nef, Cabal Tome, etc.)
3) pad certain niche decks

Is Moroes gonna wreck the vS data report? Nope, but I'm still going to play it--same with PM, Barnes, and all the other danky, janky legendaries. Playing a month of carbon copy tier one deck lists just sounds super boring (subjective).

Barnes is going to be quite good. Moroes could be playable. Prince Malchezaar is potentially the worst card in the entire game. Other truly awful cards can give you maybe one unplayable draw from your deck in a game, namely themselves, Prince Malchezaar has the unique distinction of being able to put multiple unplayable cards in your deck and gives you a vanilla 5/6 for the privilege.

I don't see the merit in talking about new players without legendaries or who a card is 'intended for' thats like saying a movie isn't for critics, it's nothing more than a way to sidestep how shitty the thing in question is.

 

[Dahbomb]

A Legendary that goes into a Priest and Mage deck?

Priest and Mage has some of the most spells and random effects in the game. You can make Randuin and Casino Mage...

Oh man if it's a card that doubles the effects of your random effects... wow!

 

[fertygo]

Moroes still far worse than PM

Playing the card only purpose is to get laughed by warrior

 

[KuroNeeko]

I don't agree, which is fine. Not every movie is made for the intent of garnering critical acclaim. Some movies are just there for dumb fun / entertainment value. I would probably put cards like Saraad, Confessor P, and Y'saarj in this category. Yogg may have initially been in this group as well, but is proving to be the outlier because he can potentially win you the game. Conversely, he can also flatout kill you or make you discard your entire hand and then kill himself. He just adds more variance and depending on what you get he could win you the game by himself. Just like people have "bad" Elises and "good" Elises, they will have bad PMs and good ones.

I'm not saying that PM is as good as Elise, but I don't think every card introduced to the game needs to be applicable to high-level play or even good, so long as it targets a certain demograph of players (whether they be new players or the Timmys / Spikes).

 

[Mulgrok]

The prince + the new 1 mana warlock card have synergy in a discard deck. Anyone else notice that?

EDIT: if the average legendary is mediocre, then it gives you more crap cards to be discarded instead of useful ones.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I need some interesting deck building ideas atm... trying yogg rogue out again. Maybe I'll give nzoth rogue a shot again. That deck can be pretty hilarious with shadowstep.

If you want to do something weird with rogue you could try to make Shadowcaster work.

I once had brann double shadowcaster on a Defender of argus and got to play both defenders with the brann buff same turn... was sooo... goood. Turned an unwinnable match around.

Mill Rogue with Shadowcaster and Brann in Wild.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Interesting interview with Donais. I was actually thinking about what the best card in Hearthstone is the other day.

Has to be Call of the Wild right? Either that or Tirion I guess.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Mill Rogue with Shadowcaster and Brann in Wild.

I think Mill might be the only deck I am not interested in trying to fail making. Plus I wanna build for standard but I see why it might work out in wild with healbot.

edit:
So far the plan is n'zoth rogue. Just beat an aggro shaman

 

[ZealousD]

I'm not even convinced that Tirion is in the Top 3 given that it has some very hard counters. with Hex, Polymorph, and Entomb.

1. Mysterious Challenger
2. Call of the Wild
3. Dr. Boom

Tirion might be like 4 or 5 after that.

If we are talking Wild that's probably my list too with Dr Boom as #2.

In Wild MC is definitely #1 best card in the game. Nzoth is really high up in Wild too.

 

[fertygo]

1. Call of the Win
2. Fandral
3. MC Maybe
4. Tuskarr Totemic
5. N'zoth

Standard only of course

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

I'm pretty sure Donais has the advantage here, with access to statistics like % win when drawn, % when played... over the course of millions of games.

No way is tuskar totemtic that high lol...

edit:
Update on n'zoth rogue... somehow 3-0

after the shaman deck I faced a... renounce warlock.... and a dragon priest running entomb and shadow priest.

 

[Dahbomb]

He said Tirion is better than War Axe, not that it's the best card in the game.

Willing to bet Call of the Wild is above Tirion.

And it was a question of value too... unless Tirion was silenced/transformed there's Tirion will almost always have higher value than War Axe.

What are you fishing for with Finley?

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Wow... I just had a crazy game versus control shaman. It didn't go quite as planned but at one point I managed to get a 10/10 van cleef then shadowcasted it. But I was out of room on the board to play the second one. Damn. And that was possible because I shadowcasted a shadowcaster. I was saving the 1 mana shadowcaster copy n'zoth originally, with coin.

Anyway, he somehow managed to deal with that whole board. And then he dealt with n'zoth's board somehow too.. hadn't even drawn my cairne by this point lucky me. But I got a bunch of coins and gadgetzan later fueled my way to make another 10/10 van cleef, plus because it was 1 mana I also got to play sylvanas. I ended up winning just as I took my first point of fatigue damage.

This deck really has a lot of copying going down... with raptor and shadowcaster.

I haven't lost yet, although I wouldn't claim the deck is carrying much, but it's fun.

What are you fishing for with Finley?

Whatever feels appropriate for the match up and situation.

 

[squidyj]

listen.... listen...
running MajorDomo or Lorewalker Cho only puts that card in your deck.
running Prince Malchezaar can put a Lorewalker Cho, a Majordomo AND a vanilla 5/6 in your deck.

It absolutely has the potential to be the worst card in the game.
And the best cards it can put in your deck are STILL cards you didn't think were worth running in the first place.
