I always put something along the lines of “This is a translated version of the card, final English version might have a different name / effect” in the card’s description. I also explicitly state that it’s a translated version when sharing it on social media. But the problem is that not everyone looks at that – a lot of people just look at the card and that’s it.

Same thing for the * – only people who actually know what that means would understand that it’s translated, someone visiting the site from outside would have no idea what that means. Plus a lot of people would still miss it, trust me :p

It’s crazy how many of the best cards in the history of Hearthstone were undervalued by players! But that’s also why I love reveal seasons – if everyone agreed on the power level of the card and community would be correct about everything, it would be boring. It’s really fun to argue with someone that X card is good or bad while the other person has a completely opposite opinion (it’s even more fun if you turn out to be correct, hahah).

Oh yeah, by that sentence I meant without losing THE Pen Flinger card, not without losing any card 🙂 Thanks for the correction.

I’m glad to hear that, hope you enjoy the new mode! 🙂

I’ve seen some people having this issue and just updated the thread:

Update: If you got the drop, but can’t access Duels yet – try waiting a bit. Official rules state that that the access will be given out within 48 hours.

Whizbang was banned from tournaments, but not because of the power level (obviously). No card was banned just because it was too random as far as I’m aware. But they DO have the ability to do it, of course.

I think that banning cards like Yogg would be better for the players, but worse for the viewers, so it’s a tough call. After all, those crazy RNG moments are always fun to watch (especially when they don’t happen to you, hahah).

Sorry, fixing it now.

You won’t gain any EXP retroactively – it will only count the games you play after 12th.

I thought that he was being sarcastic, but I honestly don’t know, lol.

I mean, it’s obviously a tier list for the current, early access meta (like the title states). We aren’t implying that this is the final power level of each Hero – it’s impossible to know. Even after the launch, we might get balance updates that change it. We’ll be updating the Tier List (and probably find some better template at one point) when new stuff launches in Duels and changes the balance. We’ll also have a guide with the most interesting / strongest HP & treasure combos when the mode gets officially released.

And by the way, they won’t get 2 HPs and 5 Treasures when the mode launches. At launch, each Hero will have 2 HPs and 3 Treasures. More will be added in a mid-expansion patch.

Be sure to teach him how to play Hearthstone once he grows up a little!

Pre-orders are always on sale until launch – even getting them a few hours before the expansion’s release is safe (although just to be sure I would buy them a day before at the latest).

Yeah, honestly the card back is pretty sick. I have it from the original pre-order, but if I didn’t I probably would buy it now!

Congratulations! Wish you good luck 🙂

Exactly it’s short because of the Duels early access. We want people to get it ASAP so they can try out the new game mode.

Oh, that’s what you meant. It’s hard to say, because it varies between expansions. They’re changing the way they handle reveal season so often that I honestly don’t know. E.g. in Ashes of Outland reveal season started the next day after announcement so there was no time. In Scholomance we had some cards revealed in between announcement and actual reveal season, such as Combustion & Kel’Thuzad (from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKnWVZz0otI).

So like I’ve said, my guess is that they will reveal some cards next week – probably like 5-10 in total. But again, that’s just a guess and I can’t be sure.

To be fair, Mozaki’s Hero Power is really good, so that might be why you see her more often.

Nearly every time 🙂 That’s why I expect some reveals next week.

Yeah, I also thought about them pushing 4 expansions per year – every 3 months instead of 4 months. I honestly wouldn’t mind it, as long as it’s easier to get cards. Maybe the new progression system will provide more rewards and they’ve decided to add another expansion because of that? Hard to say, we’ll have to wait for some official announcements. But your time line makes sense.

And thank you! 🙂

We don’t have any info about Tavern Pass pricing yet, sorry.

New expansion launches on Nov 17 actually, Nov 12 is pre-patch.

But yeah, it’s really surprising – expasions always launched in April / August / December, not sure why they’ve changed that.
