While it’s true that some HoFed cards is good, doesn’t mean it’s balanced. the power level of those cards is so crazy that Team 5 immediately HoF them instead of waiting for ~2 years.

The only suggestion I can provide, is to create another mode where every card, HoF and removed cards would also playable. Maybe (All In mode)
but Wild as it stands rn should not include HoF.
This is purely my opinion. Others can disagree.

sorry, 1600 dust

“There are big changes coming to Hearthstone in 2021”
I hope all of this gonna happen before next expansion, because surely it fits the name of Phoenix this year. So many changes happened that I’m pretty sure it’s Hearthstone 2.0 soon.

Any idea what the next Year symbol gonna be? my guess is Turtle or Panda.

As Devs mentioned, there won’t be any more compensation for Edwin when he get HoFed later.
So, the best you can do is, if you don’t play any rogue deck, or don’t play in Wild, dust it now and get those 3200 dust. Sad.

My best guess is, Hall of Fame cards is no longer playable even in Wild. There’s a reason why I think that HoF cards shouldn’t playable at all because they’re somehow problematic and doesn’t fit the class style.
(I still remember they said it like that).

either that, or Hall of Fame will not provide us with extra dust as compensation anymore.
But the more I think about this, my first theory should make more sense.

Great news, faster reward means more incentive to play.
Even if I don’t sound too happy, because Dean become more active in the community is a very late timing. They could do this from long ago, appoint some member to do the Q&A session every day/week. And avoid unnecessary problems before happening.

Keeping silent and tone deaf just make the players feels ignored and not important. So, kudos for them for doing this now, better late than never. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe add some info that those 100 level is the core level, not the total level a player can achieve.
I read it wrong the first time. Made me double checking that instead of getting 50 rewards in the core level, now we can have 100 rewards aside from the bonus levels.
And I really hoping that they don’t start another drama adding useless rewards such as old packs and reduced values in those 100 levels.

No need to get salty. Everyone had their own opinions. You can create a whole different opinion if it suits you and submit it to HSTopDecks. Maybe then you people can see what you have in mind.

Between adventuring with Lich King and Cyberpunk, I still gonna pick the latter. Lich King can wait. LOL

If you think limiting health cap to 30 was not fair, how bout limiting Warlock hero Jarraxus to 15, in exchange for flimsy 3-8 weapon and 2 6/6 hero power which doesn’t do anything to board immediately?

If only there’s someway to raise his health from that cap.

Oh yeah. My bad. How on earth did I forgot about these.

Hold on to it, because the next closest nerf we gonna had probably nearing the next expansions.
We don’t get any nerf in Scholomance, and heaven forbid we see another one after this.

Might as well dust every extra you had in your collections to prepare for the next Standard rotation. I mean, it doesn’t do much for F2P players like me to keep Wild Cards, when I can’t even manage to stay competitive with what I have in Standard anyway.

The idea of nerf is not to kill a card.
But to make somewhat adjusted.
They are finally learn that overnerfing cards like what they did to shaman in DoD is so bad that they need to rebuff some card to it’s origin.

Again, it’s a nerf alright.

That’ll be in a month after the tournaments ended. “In a month”. Could be a week. Could be 3 weeks, etc.

Funny enough, those you mentioned, except for Evolve shaman, is wrecked with any Highlander Mage deck, if you play your hand nicely. I can’t tell much, but I’ve been winning with Mage against Warrior and Paladin, especially ETC warrior, where they can’t OTK you if you carefully planned your board.

On side note, maybe don’t open your pack rewards immediately.
1-4 packs from grandmaster tournament,
5 packs one time reward when login at 15th
4 packs from L. quest,
5 packs from end of month rewards, (if you reach legend)
It brings you to a total of up to 18 packs rewards in one month. Averagely enough to help you go thru the mini set without spending any golds.

So. please hold on to your precious packs. I reckon it’ll be early january when the mini set hit.
Maybe even faster, end of year for card reveal maybe.

hmm, weird that they don’t utilize winter veil event to sell some hero cosmetic.
it’s holiday season, and no bundle either. I really don’t know how their mind work, when this is the time where they can push their profit, or at least that’s what I thought if I’m their marketing director.

4 packs for real? my my. That’s even better.
.
.
.
self proclaimed “Esports” more likely. LOL 🙂

I guess I’m pretty lucky picking Jarla as my champion. 3 out of 4 packs is still better.
120 dust here we go :(.
But all things aside, even Youtube chat cannot escape the anti-blizzard messages. Also I think the small number of views on Youtube got nothing to do with the outgoing rages, since Youtube is not very popular from streaming tournaments like this.

Blizzard… What have you done.

Excellent Analysis. Thanks for this good read.
By the way, I’m assuming you’re saying it’s a better option to buy the whole adventure like GA for 2800 golds and get all the cards rather than spend ~4000 golds for a “chance” to get all the cards. (Even when both is bad options at all). Why not just give them free like Initial cards for DHunter? #facepalm

Pfft. I wouldn’t be surprised if the grandmaster tournament later will be full of anti-blizzard statement once again.
