    Jaraxxus' Hero power should at least cost two health now. It's so powerful versus any other control deck because of the value.

    I've seen control decks tech for Reno Priest with Grizzled Wizard and Sir Finley in the past. Lets you functionally delete a special hero power.

    Lady Anaconda plus Celestial Alignment can be nuts. Free spells are always balanced.

    They stealth-patched to prevent you, specifically, from running auctioneer. Everyone else can still use it.

    According to this, Auctioneer is still in the Core set. Did you include the Core copy? It might be the Legacy copy that you were trying to put in the deck?

    What a weird issue. I guess that was it. I just removed the cards and added the auctioneers manually.

    yeah the logic the game uses for what card to select for a copy/pasted list can be pretty dumb, each card in the core set counting as a new copy of the old cards is a mess

    Hello everyone,

    With the latest Hearthstone patch (20.4) the system requirements 7 for Android have indeed changed. The new requirements are Android 7.0 (Nougat) / Fire OS 6.0 or later

    "Lol, just buy a new phone! Sucks to suck!"

    That is extremely shitty of them, and also extremely shitty that they didn't even like announce it or tell anyone, like people only found out because of a random blue post in the Tech Support section on the Official Forums???

    How the fuck were people supposed to know about this?

    Nougat is from 2016. Unless your phone is exceptionally old, it can certainly run Nougat or a newer kernel.

    Frankly I'm impressed they can support even that far back, Android has changed substantially in the last 5 years.

    edit: I agree that they should have mentioned it somewhere just for politeness, but this really isn't "lmao get a new phone idiot," it's just that the older android versions are so different from modern ones that you can't support both at once (the same way no modern software supports Windows 2000 anymore).

    Between milling and long animation times from Cho/Keymaster, the Warlocks just get flustered and run out of time. :D

    I think I'm gonna try for triple Legend this month. Posting so that the shame of failure will motivate me through this incredibly stupid decision.

    I still need Priest and DH wins so maybe Standard Deathrattle DH, Wild Odd DH, and just Classic Miracle Rogue because fuck playing Classic Priest.

    I guess someone forgot blur exists.

    Isn't that a Demon Hunter card? I don't think DH has the sheer amount of card draw and healing required to pull off a 1-turn OTK in this Brawl, unlike a Druid.

    I actually got linked to this clip from a reddit thread of someone turn one killing with DH using Blur, card draw, and all the face attack spells (Blur means you don't need healing). It was barely enough.

    On the new Battlegrounds heroes front, shockingly (not), Guff, who approximately has pre-nerf Wagtoggle's power is performing extremely well so far, solidly in the lead for average placement. His 1st place rate isn't as high as some, but he's a very solid top 4. He's got the C'Thun curve but better.

    Mutanus looks to be something like a top 5 or top 10 hero, which isn't a big surprise based on our expectations from his hero power (it looked pretty damn good!).

    Sometimes I can't understand the BG pairing algorithm. There are 7 players alive, I'm 6th and play against the 7th. After that round I'm 7th, so obviously I play against the first. Then I'm still 7th and play against the 3rd. Then I'm out and salty enough to come here to complain. I had never played against the dead guy in the whole round.

    Pretty sure the algorithm is Fuck You, Yes You, Specifically, And Only You.

    Stealer of Souls to be banned in Wild next week. Yes, banned not nerfed.

    This is doubly funny because the deck is frankly kind of shit and really struggles against fast decks. I guess it passed whatever their lower limit is on how fast combo decks can be.

    E: Dawson says that on rotation it will be unbanned and nerfed appropriately.

    That's never really been a major factor in if combo decks (or just just incredibly polarizing ones, like Un'Goro quest Rogue) get nerfed though. That decision usually gets made based on how much the deck is affecting the meta (if only a few people are playing it, no big deal) and a factor of how frequently/miserable/uninteractive it is to lose to the deck.

    Even if it's meant to lose to fast decks, the fact that it can high roll and pop off for a turn 4/5 win (which even a hyper aggro deck is going to be hard pressed to be able to stop) with some regularity -- and is probably a miserable deck to face for less fast decks -- means this deck was probably ruining the Wild experience enough for a nerf.

    The fact that they're doing it by just banning a brand new card from Wild ("Wild is wild!" lul) is fuckin' nuts though. I guess maybe that beats the usual thing where a card that's just OK in Standard gets totally gutted due to some Wild combo nonsense. That said, I'm sure there are ways it could have been nerfed that would have had essentially 0 impact on it in Standard, but I guess they just decided to go with the path of least resistance rather than put effort into re-coding the card.

    I was expecting a rules change where you can't pay life as a cost while immune. More so because it seems like a rules oversight than anything else.

    That sounds like a coding/text nightmare to change. Probably best to just ban it.
