Yep, I got mine too! Around 48h after watching the stream, so it checks out.
(Week 4 Reminder) Grandmasters: Last Call Starts This Weekend! Earn Up to 8 Free Packs Over the Next Four Weeks With YouTube Drops
I watched like 5h yesterday and also didn’t get any rewards yet. I’ve seen some other people reporting it too. I’ve heard that YT drops might take up to 48h to arrive, so if I won’t get anything tomorrow I’ll let the devs know.
Another Legendary Hearthstone Quest Released - "Scene of a Murder" - Get A Free Castle Nathria Pack
According to the latest ActiBlizzard financial report, Hearthstone has actually grown year over year. So while it’s definitely not as popular as during its heyday, I don’t think that the situation is dire at all.
(Live Now) 24.0.3 Hearthstone Patch Notes - 5 Nerfs & 22 Buffs in Constructed, Battlegrounds Balance Changes, Duels Updates
Well, we have 5 nerfs, which resulted in 8 cards in total getting nerfed. Both are correct IMO. But it doesn’t really matter because everyone knows what’s up after seeing the list.
(Update) Some Of The Upcoming Balance Changes Got Revealed - Nerfs for Warlock, Hunter, Shaman, Druid; Buffs for DH, Rogue, Paladin and Warrior
Big Priest is definitely more popular and I see why people want to get it nerfed (if they pull off an early Neptulon it’s often instant game over), but the deck is significantly weaker in terms of win rate than DR Rogue. DR Rogue is cool 4-5% WR above Big Priest. I think that’s why they focused on DR Rogue but ignored Big Priest (at least as far as we know, since not every change was revealed).

I think it makes sense, because no, the decks you listed aren’t more powerful than DR Rogue. Looking at the early stats, it’s a clear #1 deck in Wild so far this expansion and a power outlier. Blizzard has much more internal stats, so they probably see that it’s e.g. 2% WR above all other decks (I’m guessing here), that’s why they’ve decided to nerf it so quickly. They normally don’t react to what’s happening in Wild format, so there must have been a good reason.
But yes, I would like to see them make a few more Wild changes to other powerful/unfun archetypes – not massive ones necessarily, but a couple of small nerfs here and there could keep the format more balanced.

It’s the only way the nerf would make sense. All of the Wildseed cards are getting nerfed, so they should get full Dust refund.

Deathrattle Rogue is actually becoming quite problematic in Wild thanks to the Masked Reveler/Stoneborn Commander. It’s one of the most popular and strongest decks in the format at higher ranks.
As for the Edwin, it was playable last expansion, but it was never a “great” card, it was often one of the first to cut. And Rogue is underperforming this expansion, so I guess that they simply picked it as a “generic” card to buff (generic as it can go into multiple builds, so a single buff benefits all of the Rogue archetypes).
Miracle Graveyard Rogue - #24 Legend (Sezoklo) - Castle Nathria
Thanks, I updated it.
A New Castle Nathria Legendary Quest Was Just Added To Players' Logs And We Don't Know Why
The usual way, just create a random deck with all of the cheaper Infuse cards and play a single game :p
But since there’s a week to finish it and it doesn’t take the regular Quest slot, I don’t really care about it, it will just finish itself naturally for me.
Fel Demon Hunter - #111 Legend (Akatsu) - Castle Nathria
The list was from Day 1, Demon Hunter didn’t turn out to be any good this expansion, the class is really struggling.
Best Murder at Castle Nathria Decks From Day 1
I’m not sure, I think that Naga Priest is just a better deck in general and it’s also improved by both Cathedral and Pelagos. So if anything, I can see Naga Priest being played, and not necessarily Shadow Priest. But, of course, I might be wrong 🙂
Best Murder at Castle Nathria Decks From Day 1
I think the deck will be solid when the meta settles, but for now it has really mediocre win rate (~49% in Diamond-Legend).
(August Reward Now Available) 4 Free Hearthstone Legendary Cards + Multiple Standard Packs Available Through Prime Gaming
No idea yet, maybe 3x Standard Pack, but I would hope for something more.
Castle Nathria Theorycrafting Livestreams, Mystery Script Live Performance, Pre-Release Weekend - Twitch Drops Active, Get Free Castle Nathria Packs
Yeah, that was bad. I was a few minutes late and got to like 94%. It’s one pack so I don’t care that much but it just feels bad.
They should at least let the stream going for 15-20 more minutes so people who were a bit late could get their pack. Or maybe replay the whole thing second time.

No, every comment is moderated now because our anti-spam plugin is acting up. Trying to come up with a fix, but for now I need to manually accept every comment (including my own, haha).

You’re right, they already fixed it on their news page and I fixed it too here 🙂
New Duels Hero Revealed by Zeddy - Darius Crowley
You’re correct, it’s for all Heroes, not just Darius Crowley. I edited the post to make it clear.
You can try to snipe your opponent’s key card with it, or return your own Theotar / Denathrius to hand. It’s really great with Denathrius because it keeps all the damage you already stacked. So you for example play him as a board clear + heal one turn and then still have him as a win condition.
But Luna experiments a lot with card choices so it might not be the best. You can definitely cut it.
