Oh nevermind me. I didn’t see you already had posted the Rewards track.

HOW DARE YOU BE ON TOP OF THINGS?! XD

Have to concur. For instance, the Old Gods signatures in Caverns. The wall motif is a creative idea and that ambient, subtle, candle-like lighting is a cool effect, but I think it loses a lot of what makes the Old Gods so crazy and Lovecraftian in the first place.

STILL looks loads better than those dim Lich King Signatures. *shiver*

I think it’s safe to assume most of the commons and rares on here will be Reward Track items – curious which Epics though. I think they had two on track last time? I may be remembering wrong though.

Now THAT I missed. Definitely a Reno add.

Literally a superior Blademaster Samuro in Highlander/Reno.

Priest will never say no to more Discovery. Or card-copying shenanigans.

Worth a slot in Reno Priest.

Between this, Sir Finley and Plot Twist? That sounds filthy.

Therefore I am interested. XD

Hare to gauge which cards will be meta or not at this stage – but in Wild, Even decks can find a use of this.

Even Warrior won’t say no to more removal or armor and … maybe Even Shaman though that deck feels tuned enough as is.

And Quest Mage? While it can’t copy Time Warp, copying say… Evocation is a big deal.

Maybe not Standard but not all the cards are out yet. But I am sure Wild players are already salivating.

I can smell the double Yogg already. Provided they don’t nerf it by then.

Ah! Good to know! Thanks for that regardless.

Question – will HST ever post Sideboard lists along with ETC? I know that probably requires some coding but I’d love to see it with some of these decklists. Might be good to put in the individual deck guides? (I know those aren’t updated anymore, might be an easy solution if you get around to it).

My two cents. Keep the good work.

Happy about this entire patch.

Good news – this may be the nail in Discard Warlock’s coffin in Wild and is certainly the last time you’ll see Miracle Druid for a while.

Bad news – Even Shaman escaped nerfs again and Frog Shaman is likely toast. So I’ll be seeing you with an army of totems next month. xD

Eloquently put.

It’s really sad that people would rather do this. I see so much toxicity on the Hearthstone forums from people who are just so angry that they lose (and I am saying this about something I love) AT A DAMN GAME WITH NOTHING TANGIBLE ANYWHERE IN THE REAL WORLD. You want to “fix” Hearthstone? Go learn game development, start a team and make a triple-A card game. Go ahead. I’m waiting. Can’t wait to see you how you handle complex data structures when you can’t even handle yourself.

And if you side with devs? Well, obviously you work for Blizzard. Seriously, get a grip, people. Game dev is tough. Game devs are human. Don’t be dicks.

Decency and compassion are lacking in people. It’s like we forgot how to talk to each other. And some gamers seem proud of how unbelievably toxic they are, not realizing that every bad stereotype that non-gamers have about gamers is being proved true by their behavior.

Rant concluded.

Considering that Bobby Kotick stands to profit heavily from the Microsoft merger, I am sure he is laughing all the way to the bank.

I won’t kick a gamedev – their job is hard enough. But Bobby Kotick’s picture might as well be in the dictionary next to “greedy gaming CEO.”

Good riddance. Tony Druid brought me back nightmares of Togwaggle Druid. Glad to see that nerf. Didn’t they say they were looking at Warlock in particular?

Nerf candidates/predictions:
– Chamber of Viscidus: Will go to 3/4 mana, durability will drop to 2, or # of cards to choose from will drop to 2. This card is what revive Discardlock.
– Soul Barrage: Will only affect enemy minions and not the opponent or will drop to 4 damage. I am amazed they have not done this yet.
– Tiny Knight of Evil: Discards will only give +2 Attack but not Health. This is how they dealt with Murloc Warleader back in the day.
– Gadgetzan Auctioneer: Will go to 7 mana or will only draw on the first spell cast each turn.

Vezax is so good. While I agree that not every deck will play him, I feel most players who are still running Khazgoroth will likely replace him with Vezax. A 7/6 that can knock out a big threat, give you Armor, then revive to knock out another threat and STILL trigger Stoneskin Armorer is a nice tool to have in the deck.

Good thing I hit Legend before this dropped. Ugh. You would think they would just do some buffs/nerfs to change up the metas again but RNG? This seems like a Tavern Brawl idea that somebody decided would be GREAT for Ranked.

Worse off, as you mentioned in the article, some matches will be downright unwinnable if certain anomalies happen. Of course, if you’re tired of playing against Even Shaman (sorry/not sorry), it will be hilarious watching them lose their hero power.

Oh my, this will be madness. Can’t wait to read the raging which usually matches said madness by 10x.

I do like how they made it these new Signatures available from Caverns packs. Wouldn’t mind that awesome new Patches art.

Amazed to not see an Even Shaman deck. It’s still quite powerful.

yeah finally working here in NA too. You may have to reload Hearthstone on iOS after the update.
