Hmm, let's see what Hearthstone is up to.

RNG worse than ever before. Every match I play both players just play random garbage and get random garbage and then you play around nothing cause you can't even know what the fuck is in their hands and then you win or lose based on random cards you don't know they have. It's like playing poker with a bunch of Uno cards mixed in. This is flatlining gameplay design.

Dead game is dead. Standard has done very little to shake up the meta. You might have a couple classes like Hunters and Rogues fall out of favor for three months but then in comes overpowered shit to put them right back on top.

I was pestered by Blizzard for the last week to buy some packs as I'd get more bang for my shekels. Too little, too late. The pricing and the randomness drove me away, I'm not coming back.

Total shit. They repeat the same mistake they did for Un'Goro -- tying the main feature of the expansion behind a pay/dust wall of one legendary per class. The retards on Hearthstone forums are embracing it because Blizzard is giving ONE WHOLE CLASS CARD away for free. O BOI. THAT MEANS YOU JUST NEED TO CRAFT TEN MORE TO ACTUALLY PLAY NEW DECKS! 16,000 dust... for a feature that will almost certainly be obsolete in three months when the next expansion rolls around.

Seems like they're going to repeat this shit from now on since dummies are so accepting of it.

So, Blizzard is giving everyone a free promotional arena entry, and not only that - they are giving you one free win in it, too. Yes, a free win. This is a total disgrace and the final nail to the coffin of Hearthstone.

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Had a quick look at the revealed cards in the new expansion. Shaping up to be pretty terrible I see. I mean look at this shit:

:prosper:
Who in their mind would build a deck around three of this type? Especially when there's a better epic. Pack filler legendary, what a decline.

You aint gonna use 3 of 'em in the same deck, that for surah. Ironically, my money is on the 4 one - there are more than a couple of decks that dont run any 4 drops as is, and in that case, this is a 4-4 with taunt and ls, which is pretty good.

Lol, played a few games with my miracle dragon priest and it was actually pretty fun. I hope the deck survives into Icecrown without many changes.

Granted, I only play now to complete quests but with shit like this I might finally uninstall. People are trying to argue... 'oh the drawback is it thins your opponent's deck so they might be able to draw a good card sooner.' Horseshit. That's a minute theoretical drawback and the upside in playing this card is fucking HUGE for a Warlock. At least with Dirty Rat: 1) It was limited to minions; and 2) It still put that minion into play so while you could lose a key battlecry it could put Tirion or some other big threat on the field... such to the extent people rarely played Dirty Rat without having some kind of hard removal in their hand to follow it up with...

This card is just straight up fucking bullshit with no drawback at all.

I, for one, always thought Hearthstone was too wimpy in the way that you couldn't deprive your opponent from playing cards he had. This is actually incline.

Agreed, how many different ways are there to play this multiple times, duplicate battle cry, etc.? Can warlock borrow rogue spells?

That card could maybe fit into some kind of annoying mill deck for wild, I'm sure people will try

The shaman deathknight hero is pretty interesting. Might actually be playable

That Warlock card is so good. This expansion in general has some, on paper anyway, super strong cards. It actually looks like Blizzard's trying.

Actually the drawback of it is you have to play warlock.

Nah, combo and faceroll-deck ruiners are pretty good and a sign of incline in my book.

Your post is 8 months old, MSoG was the real decline.

An auto-include has arrived. Several months after sending Ragnaros and Sylvanas to Wild because these two were auto-includes, yes.

Black Knight will mean this card is essentially pay 8 mana for a Death Knight card.

Or Big Game Hunter if Black Knight is not in a collection yet.
