It also means that if you do their 50 pack preorder, you're guaranteed to get at least two legendaries.

Damn, just got 12 win arena with Priest... Onyx Bishop and Potion of Madness are insane cards.
Healing also catches people out who see the light at the end of the tunnel and ignore the good trades. Feelsgoodman.

Should I start saving my coins for that upcoming pack special?
EDIT: Just remembered, you can only buy packs one at a time with coins!
Why is the 15 pack the best deal? lol

It's the most improved deal, certainly, going from $1.33 to $1 per pack.
But, 78 packs for $69.99 is 89.7 cents per pack, which i think is the cheapest that pack prices have ever been (excluding welcome bundle and amazon coin specials)

Why didn't you get to play it?
You can buy multiple packs with gold, just double click the "1 Pack 100 Gold" button and the game will allow you to choose how many packs you want, up to 50.
But then, feels like this upcoming pack deal isn't avaible to used with gold.
Only on PC/Mac
I tried it several times on iOS. If they didn't change it in the latest patch I was never able to buy multiple packs with gold.
Nope, last time I bought a pack, can only buy one on Android.
Just tried it out on my iPad. Definitely works.
Yeah iPhone is a no. So i guess computer and tablets.

I don't think it works on mobile, but it could work on tablets based on my short google search.

It doesn't work on iPhones for sure.
Because every other option requires more then 3 packs per free pack.
Kibler talking about the staleness of Hearthstone
I found the video very interesting, mostly because while I think Team 5 has been releasing good content and I also think Kibler is right for the most part, I still think there are ways the team can make HS a little bit better by releasing a little batch of cards about 2 months into the last expansion. Sure it doesn't convey any significant amount of good marketing, but it still engages the current player more into the game.

And getting Hallazeal when in 4 life and no block. that always helps when playing mage.
Game modes are way more important than cards. New innovative game modes can inject tons of life into the game.

I meant from a business standpoint. You'd think Blizzard would want us to get the biggest bundle.
At some point, I think the game just needs a new mechanic.
That would be awesome. I wish there was some kind of co-op haha. Would really counterbalance the super annoyance with other players that HS otherwise engenders (for some reason I can't totally pin down
).of course, that is always the ideal solution, but I don't think Team 5 is capable of such a huge thing
the biggest bundle is always the best bundle since it is the one with most cards and the one you pay less for each pack.
like adapt? or like the quest mechanic? I can actually defend HS on that aspect, they have injected new mechanics in each of the expansions they have made, that they are not exactly meta defining is not the important thing (I could argue it is important that not every mechanic they release become meta-defining)

Like allowing you to do things during opponents turns? Yes, please.
The game needs to be more interactive and allow for more competitive play.
Will never happen though. They'll just continue to print cards like rogue quest or snowballing tempo shenanigans.
I can already say you that will never happen, because HS is an asynchronous game, the connection you make for the game allows only 1 player to interact with the server at a time.

I actually had this idea for a real time turn-based card game. Like say you are about to buff a minion somehow - during the animation, I could still fireball that minion to kill it, and your action is canceled (you don't lose the spell). So there's some kind of interaction, but it's all dependent on responding in the moment. It wouldn't be a good change for Hearthstone, though, which succeeds partially because it is relaxing, casual, and turn-based.
The change I personally want is a Replace mechanic - once per turn, you can take a card in your hand and drag it back to your deck. It goes into your deck, and a different card comes out. This would help in teching situations, ensure the game is less linear, and alleviates those frustrating moments where you are top-decking and keep getting junk.
But the bonus cards are less. :-O
By new mechanic, I mean something fundamental to the game. Another layer of decision-making to keep everything fresh. New sets can only go so far when the underlying motions remain the same.

Yogg stealing games in 2017.
yeah the packs reduce costs a lot when they go up in bundles.
I don't think this game needs to be more complex than it already is, it is simple and open enough to make enough different decisions every turn.
then later a counterspell destroying quest rogue... 2 amazing matches lol
Hallazeal used to a god tier legendary with elemental deatruction. Now he is mediocre and his synergy with the new spell is kinda bad.

Hey now Hallazeal and Velen are some of the best Mage Legs in the game right now.
Had a pirate warrior play classic King Mukla and brawl against me. Thanks for the two bananas to put on my taunt and win me the game all by themselves.
These are the kind of people I imagine posting to reddit about how much they hate "netdecks", when they put horrible and anti-synergistic cards in their decks and get punished for it.

Yeah I played against some kind of control/miracle priest that played new mukla for the Lyra synergy. Really weak.
Hahaha dude as a Mage player I can say that card is almost auto-win, at least against Secrets and Control. I would tech it but rarely run into Mages and don't usually have too hard a time (except against the ones that run and draw Eater

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So I decided to try out Deathwing in my priest deck. It's a crazy add to my deck that people don't see coming cause nobody really runs it.
Won be a couple of auto conceeds so far around rank 10.

Rank 1 and every fight is so stressful. :-/
The #1 thing I see when I play Renolock is people dropping their anti-Pirate Warrior Ooze on curve against me. It's only ~1/10 games where someone saves it to punish Jaraxxus. I actually abuse this when playing against Renolock because my own Renolock has both oozes, so I will get both, play one, have them play Jaraxxus, and then play the other one. :-D
It's a big heal that refills your hand, so it's decent in most midrange matchups where you've been trading a lot, and it is key in stabilizing against decks like Pirate Warrior, Aggro Shaman, and Egg Druid. It can also help you survive a Freeze Mage after they drop Alex. Is there a better card to put there? Maybe, but I like it very much, personally.
It's great in most matchups. It's the only card draw in the deck, and sometimes you really need it for that or the health.
