Hearthstone - I...AM...READY

Hey! Hi.

It's Hearthstone, remember?

HearthstoneLogo.png

It's a collectible card game based on the Warcraft universe. I enjoy it. It's on PC and Mac and iPad, and maybe Android / iPhone at some point soon?

There is a new expansion. Here is a useless trailer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijyMZPIsj5E

There's a lot of new stuff in this expansion! We should talk about new cards and decks and stuff! Stuff!

Some people have bought the wrong packs (old packs instead of GvG packs) and felt really silly about it!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spLtmcg2bVE

Try not to do this, OK???

Maybe someday we can have a list of people who play this in here?

Thank you. Hearthstone.

    There is a thread in the games forum, I have played this a few times on PC and its fun as hell so I am hoping it comes to the Amazon fire tablet like it was "leaked" that it was compatable now.
    I did not know people had bought the wrong packages, whoops.

    Oh right Echo

    I don't have a handle on all the new cards yet but I did see that once.

    I crafted a couple hobgoblins thinking they'd be fun to mess with

    other than some occasional echoing ooze shenanigans, it was really underwhelming

    should've saved my dust

    These are a few of the new expansion cards I've found that I like a lot so far:

    Steamwheedle Sniper

    2/3 for 2, Hunter hero power can target minions while its alive. I like these sorts of mechanics.

    Flamecannon

    Seems to end up really useful almost all the time. You can usually create a favorable RNG scenario.

    Sneed's Old Shredder

    I got this in my first pack, seems like a really good card. 8 mana 5/7 but turns into a different random legendary when it dies. If you get lucky on RNG it turns into a Rag or something, if you get really lucky it turns into something hilarious like Nozdormu. Vulnerable to silence, I suppose.

    Anyone else have any hot new tipz?

    That last one sounds like it would be hilarious in my shaman resurrection deck.

    Yep. With Reincarnate it becomes a lot more valuable.

    The new sorcerer spells are hilarious

    Unstable Portal (add random minion to your deck, it costs 3 less) is insanely useful for 2 mana

    I'm also considering builing a Paladin deck built around Silverhand Recruit buffs that the new minions give you, that seems like tons of fun

    It's actually pretty useful if you've got a lot of spell-triggering minion powers that work well with low cost spells

    I'm running a deck with card draw that relies on Auctioneers, plus I have the Archmage as one of my endgame Legendaries. Having an extra low cost minion to go with them works rather well

    I just found out that Bane of Doom's text is misleading. It can't summon any demon in the game, it can only summon blood and flame imp, void walker, succubus, felguard and infernal. Here I thought I just had incredibly bad luck with the card.

    As fun as the card is, that just doesn't seem good enough to warrant keeping over Imp-losion or siphon soul.

    Bane of Doom is one of the worst warlock spells

    its the only deck toshley is good in and antonidas does work

    Also, I got the new warrior mech legendary through an unstable portal

    Special power is it shuffles a mine into the enemy deck that does 10 damage to them on draw, and also denies them a card that turn

    They pulled the mine card the turn after I played the minion

    Quit right there and then

    Amazing

    the mine doesn't cause the opponent to skip a draw

    that would be absurd and make jugg actually worth playing

    Pretty sure it replaces whichever card they were supposed to draw; I'm almost positive they didn't draw again after the damage was dealt

    I feel silly with GvG. I want to have the cool cards, but I'm so used to having pretty much all the good cards getting the new ones feels so exhausting I don't want to play.

    Opening packs is exciting again, but I don't really want to give Blizzard any more money so it's going to take ages to get all the good cards from GvG since I wasn't particularly lucky with the 20 packs I opened. And I have some dust but I hate crafting rares and commons.

    I dunno dude

    it's a variant card in a game wherein variance is a big problem in a format where the most successful decks try to eliminate it
