Horde vs Alliance Event Guide - Honor Points System in Alterac Valley Expansion Explained, Drek'Thar or Vanndar Stormpike
‘… So if you like fast archetypes β DrekβThar will be a better choice, and vice-versa…’
Although it might be obvious, besides your preferred play style it should be mentioned that in a vacuum, a deck that doesn’t draw Drek’Thar can still work flawlessly while a deck that doesn’t draw Stormpike might not work at all (getting stomped with a bunch of unplayable cards in hand).
Mr. Smite
Haha just when I thought the Moloch card pool is dilluted by all the Pirates from this mini set, this Legendary is revealed.
Avenging Angels: What Else Could the New Bgs Keyword Be Used For And Could It Work in Constructed?
Honest question – which Avenge card was key to Leapfrogger strategies? I thought it was based on Macaw, Frog and Baron.
Regarding Constructed – I could very well see that keyword becoming Legacy (is that what it’s called? idk exactly).
Shop Update: Shadowlands Bundle (4 Portraits for $24.99), Golden Standard & Classic Bundles (5 Golden Packs + Golden Legendary For $24.99 / $19.99)
Edit: Jupp, it’s a mobile thing. Rank 1 available on my Windows client.

I disagree in part.
imho the best bundles are class related ones with cosmetics and cards only for that class (duh). That way newer players have the possibility to complete class collections they like to play while ‘avoiding’ unnessecary cards from other classes.
Icing on the cake would be if they’d include special ‘class versions’ of neutral cards – same name and functionality, but fitting pictures. MtG does this (kind of) with Planeswalker Spellbooks.
Shop Update: Shadowlands Bundle (4 Portraits for $24.99), Golden Standard & Classic Bundles (5 Golden Packs + Golden Legendary For $24.99 / $19.99)
Still no bundles whatsover on Android mobile … I think I need to update my PC client – not that I plan to buy those because max BlizzGreed here, but I’m interested if I get them offered in the 1st place.

I second that, but I only checked on mobile.
The skin bundle … idk why but besides Battlegrounds, I refuse to buy ‘just cosmetics’ for such a steep price. Even if those skins look cool. Might have something to do with the overabundance of Hero Skins lately … π
Book of Mercenaries: Tamsin Guide And Boss Strategy
‘Our win condition is to summon Anetheron by playing 6 demons.’ I’m pretty sure it’s 7 demons.
Ironically, apart from that Bolvar fight (which I don’t think plays out as you described because there’s much more to consider imho) I can’t remember anything because to me, all felt very simple – besides said Bolvar battle. Maybe I just got lucky with the other encounters …
Shop Update: New Battlegrounds Cosmetics Bundle (Champions of Shadow) Available For $14.99 / β¬14.99
I never bought ‘just cosmetics’ before but idk why I’m a sucker for those BG ones …
Since I got them, I’m waiting for Mr. Bigglesworth (or should I say ‘Pet Salon Bigglesworth’) to get offered. It just doesn’t happen. π
Book of Mercenaries: Tamsin Has Been Released!
Yeah took me 5 tries. Honestly, I think it’s a matter of luck because the cards drawn are different every match. At first, I thought it’s a puzzle style fight but no.
Won with early 8/8s that give 8 armor, Mal Ganis and card draw, then played multiple Soul Rends and Siphon Souls to punch through with that Anethereon guy in 2 turns.
Oh and play Nether and the likes BEFORE summoning Anethereon because they’re totally useless afterwards (obv).
Hearthstone Mercenaries Ultimate Guide - Everything You Need To Know About New Game Mode!
Hey Stonekeep! Thanks for all your effort. I f I’m allowed to give a suggestion for improvement: Article overview always tells me that som of those got updated but when I’m looking at the article I can’t see what’s new. A change log, an info at the start of the article (Update [Date]: [What’s new]) or colored new text passages would be very cool.
If something like this already exists than sorry, I’m dumb. π
Keep up the good work!
September Patch Still In Plans, Devs Talking About Many Nerfs + Buffs, Probably Including Wild Changes
Honestly, I don’t think a single nerf can make Wild a ‘better’ format – which is okay for me, because it is by nature meant to be broken. This implies that there will always be the one best/absurd/annoying deck everybody hates.
And this will not get better overtime, when there are more and more expansions/cards to add to the pool. π
September Patch Still In Plans, Devs Talking About Many Nerfs + Buffs, Probably Including Wild Changes
This one made me rofl. Even if it wasn’t meant to be funny. π
21.2 Known Issues & Hotfixes - C'Thun & Leapfrogger Temporarily Removed from Battlegrounds, Deathwing Is Back, Razorgore Hotfix and More
I played like 30 rounds of BG since the ‘makeover’ and didn’t see a single Grease Bot. I thought that was a bug, too, unless I saw one get offered to Kripp in one of his BG videos. Seems I got really unlucky with them until now. π
Iksar's Twitter Q&A #28 Summary - Wild Balance, Battlegrounds Rework, Pandaria Expansion, Auction House, Control Decks, Diablo in Hearthstone
Nice summary, thanks!
‘Dean would like to add a ranked version of Arena with matchmaking (while at it, they should also add a free/practice version with no rewards!)’
I get the ‘free’ part, but what is meant with ‘ranked version’? Isn’t Arena already working this way?
Shop Update: Three Mercenaries Pre-Purchase Bundles, More Battlegrounds Cosmetics
I will completely ignore this mode. I just hope that they don’t make some crossover bull***t like ‘you can only get this stuff in HS if you complete that Mercenaries Quest’. :/
Mercenaries Packs Drop Rates - How Many Packs For Full Collection? What Can You Expect From 50 Packs Pre-Purchase?
This must be one of the silliest ways to put down an argument/oppinion. ‘If you can’t do better, you aren’t allow to disagree’. Doesn’t seem very grown up to me. π
Mercenaries Packs Drop Rates - How Many Packs For Full Collection? What Can You Expect From 50 Packs Pre-Purchase?
If I upgraded a Merc completely, do I get ‘coin protection’ or can I still get coins for that Mercenary even if I don’t need them anymore?
Im might have overread it. :/
‘…every minion… summon two of them …’ wording is perfectly fine (on this card π ).
