    lmao I beat the final Plague Lord on my first try with only Finley. The combination of the lifesteal lance with the overload hero power is seriously busted.

    First heroic murloc run, i'm on boss 7 but feeling quite confident, i's a Finley run with a bunch of early game tokens plus:

    Discs of legends passive
    The passive that reshuffles two 1-cost minions in your deck when you play one
    Maxwell
    4(!) Crusties
    A shitton of high value lategame bombs

    So far all my games have been: play Maxwell onto a big board, Crusty Maxwell, Crusty Crusty then Crusty Crusty etc.

    Works pretty well!:

    I've been having more fun with this brawl than I have had with HS in a very long time.


    A few times I've let my opponent live (for multiple turns) so they could finish their grand-scheme of whatever crazy stuff they were going for, just to see it.

    Like that 20-20 guy that does 20 dmg to all enemies, etc..

    I did tombs 3 on heroic. I had to go 5 times against the final boss, and it wasn't until I got 2 Crook and Flail and a tracking device.

    At which point I had done 30 points of damage by turn 2. 100 points of damage by turn 5, and Finished it off by turn 7.

    Heroic is tough. Now time to work on tombs 4. Then I might got through with each person and get more of their treasures by going through tombs 1 again.

    Tombs 4 done on first try. The difficulty is a bit wacky sometimes.

    Also, make sure to have a quest slot freed up. I think they are doing legendary quests starting tomorrow...or next week the news was not clear.

    Man. Secret Mage may be better than Cyclone Quest Mage, but going off with Cyclone Quest Mage is so much fun. It’s a lot more satisfying to grind out my Mage wins with Cyclone Quest than Secret.

    Civics is not a consumer product that you can ignore because you don’t like the options presented.

    Blitzchung: "Stop killing us."

    Blizzard: "You can't be political on stream."

    Nah, this isn't about "rules," it's about protecting their mainland Chinese income. You should stop giving money to Blizzard.

    Do i agree with the way blizzard has handled this and do i believe their decision is free from chinese pressure?

    Not at all, but just because i happen to agree with the sentiment behind this political outing does not matter.

    I mean, I can see anyone having to do with that stream (i.e. casters) fearing political backlash as a real concern.
    They'll make you disappear in the mainland for that kind of stunt. I mean shit, they're already giving you a social score with facial-recognition all over the place.


    So, you know, it's not quite the same as other situations like the NFL stuff, etc..

    At least in the whole China / Hong Kong / that entire region aspect.

    I sort of understand the player getting banned for making the statement, but the casters shouldn't get banned that's bullshit... and reducing the pool of money that the dude already won is dumb as hell too. Just send him packing with his money if you wanted to 'protect your image', instead Blizzard pretty much combo-eviscerated their rep. I was already not planning on giving Blizzard any more HS money, now I'm considering not giving them any more money period.

    This is a shameful day for blizzard as a company. All the inclusivity they claim to promote here is lie. Everyone needs to realize that if whatever group they are in becomes inconvenient for Blizzard they will drop you just as fast.

    If anyone needs a decent Hearthstone replacement, Mythgard has been pretty great. It took some ideas from Hex, which had magic roots, and then followed Hearthstone's simpler one player one turn mechanics.

    It stops being pure politics when it's a government that does things like openly harvest organs as part of their ethnic cleansing system, and murdering civilians openly for speaking out against the regime.

    yeah, the best trick you can do with practically all the bosses is to get the -1 atk ring and the taunt minion that summons 3x 1/1 minions for your opponent...screws up so many of the plans, especially that guy who summons cultists. worked great on the lords as well.

    I feel that's unfair. In no way they ever said they support the politics. They are providing a game to play.

    They have an open platform suddenly used for politics without their permission, forcing them to lose whatever side of the political side they decide to back.

    Eternal is much closer to core Hearthstone I think, while Mythgard is a bit more of a game that you can play in the same space and time, but which does a few new/old things in a different way.

    Again, this isn't core politics. This is fundamental human rights. There does come a time when the line needs to be perceived. General political speech can perhaps be filtered, slippery slope as that is. Opposition to the literal definition of fascism, not the over use of the word, and to mass human rights atrocities is not "politics" though.
