Yes, I’m writing a guide for rewards track including Tavern Pass info / calculations right now. Should be out tomorrow.

Thanks for the lecture, fixed it 🙂

It was confirmed that it’s a bug. That’s a relief – every slower deck would run 2x Amalgam and N’Zoth then, because that’s really OP combo for such a small package 😀

Edit: Here’s the confirmation: https://twitter.com/Celestalon/status/1326987406524870656

I think that you can hold 3? When you have 0-2 Quests, there’s a “New Quest in X hours” message, it doesn’t appear when you have 3. The last slot seems to be reserved for Legendary Quests, but of course, I’m not 100% sure yet since the system is brand new. I’ll investigate and update the guide accordingly.

And thanks for pointing out the errors, I’ll fix them.

Edit: I changed Daily to Weekly where it was wrong, but I think that “the Hearthstone’s progression system” is fine, because “the” doesn’t refer to Hearthstone, but to progression system. It sounds good to me. But I’m not a native speaker so I’m not 100% sure.

Wait, really? I didn’t think that’s how it was supposed to work. Maybe it’s a bug?

Yeah, it should be the usual patch launch time, around 10 AM PT / 19:00 CET.

Also don’t know, but knowing that ahead of time wouldn’t really change anything 🙂

It was already announced that they will be separate. And I think it makes sense – Tavern Pass gives you cosmetics like Hero portraits and Coins, so BG players probably wouldn’t be interested in them. On the other hand, someone who only plays Constructed and wants those cosmetics might not be interested in BG perks. So bundling them together would be clunky.

I think that they should be a bit cheaper, though.

I have absolutely no clue. Blizzard didn’t say anything about that.

Oooh, that’s what you mean. I’m not sure if they will reset Arena runs because of that.

BUT they’ve confirmed that we’ll get a new format, so it should reset with expansion’s release on 17th. I’ll post a reminder a couple days before so people know that they can get free ticket 🙂

That’s a fun game you play :p

That’s not how the card works. It doesn’t say “At the start of your turn”, it’s “on your turn”. You will gain +2 Attack and Windfury immediately when you play this card.

I’m not so sure about Arena. Last expansion they didn’t change the format at all, but kept it as Standard, just added a new expansion without a reset. If they don’t change the format again, just add Darkmoon to the pool, you won’t get a ticket back, you will just have an active run.

And if they will change it after all, it would probably happen at launch. They should announce sets available in Arena in tomorrow’s patch, though!

Yes, thank you, fixed.

I stand by lots of those ratings, by the way. Yes, I was clearly wrong about cards like Pen Flinger or Broomstick, but many of those cards I rated highly (like Fireheart, Omu, Wildclaw, Ace Hunter Kreen or even Reaper’s Scythe) are great, they just didn’t have time to shine yet.

I admit that I overrated some of the cards too, I would change my ratings for stuff like Felosophy, Glide, Warlock Soul Fragment package (for my defense, DH’s turned out to be great and Warlock still has some chance). Or Overwhelm, I don’t know why I gave it 8/10 in retrospective.

And keep in mind that many of those cards were revealed before their respective synergy cards got shown. For example, when Steeldancer was revealed, neither Self-Sharpening Sword, nor Krastinov were revealed. Ideally I would wait with the reviews until after the entire set is revealed, but no way I would have enough time to cover everything then.

Given all the circumstances, I’m happy with my Scholo reviews! I identified most of the synergies, even on most of the cards that I rated low, but turned out to be good (e.g. Pen Flinger – I talked about synergy with Libram Paladin, but I clearly underestimated the power of repeated pings).

I would love to get back to my reviews like 2 months into the expansion to see how correct / wrong I was about them, but I never have enough time to do it :/

Extra note: As someone reminded me on Twitter, Shaman should get more weapon / attacking with Hero support this expansion. Blizzard confirmed earlier that the class will get “Enhancement” archetype (which was a melee spec in WoW).

By the way, Ice Barrier won’t work with it, you still take damage even if it’s just Armor and not your Health. Taking damage =/= losing health 🙂

Yes, only when it’s in hand. Corrupt cards would be too strong otherwise 🙂

And it was considered a quite strong Hero Power at the beginning! (At least when Nefarian wasn’t around…) But the game has changed A LOT since then.

If Hero portraits were ever sold for gold, I imagine that they would cost 1500 or 2000, but knowing Blizzard it would probably be 2000 :p
