it's not really "luck" or "80%", it's a deck that is literally nothing but the combo, stall, and massive cycle
they can easily draw 2-4 cards per turn

we've seen about 40 cards of the 130 so far

is this expansion good or bad based on them

is this a leppo?

>>159746032
So far, not bad. The new Warrior one shown today is broken as hell and will encourage a playstyle that has little counterplay. Expect Harrison and Ooze use to skyrocket.

>>159746032
Not great but better than TGT already.

>good or bad
what does that even mean?
if we're talking power level, it seems to have plenty of strong cards for the intended archetypes and aside from bolster warrior they'll see play.

As for meta effects: it's terrible. We've all know since beta that priest is extremely unpleasant to play against and pushing into the top tier is a horrible idea.
Pirate warrior and rogue seem to be getting support as counters, which is probably going to go down as a further series of mistakes. Both play draw-dependent solitaire and are only slightly more fun for both sides.

This is frankly ridiculous coming from the team that said
>We’ve redesigned the card Charge in a way that provides opportunities for minion combat, but does not enable strategies that intend to win without allowing opponents to interact.
The decks they're pushing do exactly that, and either they're too stupid to realize that or too lazy to care.

>>159748228
Just look at the mechanics in Shadowverse for example. 100% of them could be applicable to hs. Yes even evolve could be a no2 limited hero power, for example.

>>159748228
What if we made opponents discard
What if we fixed stealth targeting
what if we added active effects to cards
what if we added neutral spells
what if we added "for each something this game/turn"
what if we added "on draw"

what if we added defender
what if we added graveyard

t-thanks.

>>159748591
Just to expand on that for those that arent playing:
For each class:
- sword: have a tribal theme, with two tribes that interact with each other. We have something similar in hs already.
- shadow: use shadows as an alt resource (like energy in magic right now). We dont really have that in hs.
- dragon: basically ramp, and have passives bonus if ramped to 7 or more. The passive thing is something easy to tweak and absant from hs
- forest: basically combo class like rogue, we have that.
- rune: playing spells boost the other in your hand. Sort of what we are getting next set but could be tweaked again for more interesting effects.
- blood: bonus if life total is 10 or less. Interesting part here is that the class is full of gain life/lose life effects. In hs we have molten giant but... yeah thats it.
- haven: focus on amulets and countdown effect. Amulet are another type of cards, similar to enchantments in magic, and those with coundown basically act like suspend spells in magic, aka trigger after x turns, but with a bigger effect compared to their cost. We have nothing like that in hs, but its easy to see many new types of cards that could be made.

Theres also some other smaller mechanics but these are the principals. Sorry for typos and not indept discussion but im on phone.

>>159749383
>blood: bonus if life total is 10 or less. Interesting part here is that the class is full of gain life/lose life effects. In hs we have molten giant but... yeah thats it
Warrior has that with mortal strike and such. There's also that one dragon which cares about opoonent's life.

>>159749537
You're right, its a theme that they sometime explore. I hope we'll get more effect like this, since it promotes some strategic plays.

Also, things like hand matters theme (like the one we see in the previews, or runecraft spellboost ability) is somehting interesting that pretty much only works for a digital game (sicne otherwise its a nightmare to remember what is boosted or not in your hand, and try to not cheat with that)

>>159749383
>have passives bonus if ramped to 7 or more.
this is the last fucking thing we need
more draw ramp = win, don't draw ramp = lose bullshit

>>159749934
Well when its used on low cost cards its great, si ce it gives them a better effect when drawn later on.

Just imagine if there was something like:
1) deal 2 damage. If you have 7 mana crystal, deal 3 instead.
Its simple and could scale any kind of effect you want.

am i the only one who hates dragon decks?
it's "play overstatted minions on curve" taken to its most extreme limit

>>159750313
Does SV has an easy time increasing the mana as HS druid has? Since Druid is already a bitch to deal with if he ramps properly, let alone if the minions/spells had a bonus on top of being already good.

>>159750418

I'm a main priest and also hate it

Specially because Team 5 as always is shoving the archetype down our throats and most of priest dragon cards are just that

>>159750503
Yes, Dragon has Wild Growth, 3 mana 2/2 Deathrattle give a mana orb. Nobody ramps though.

>>159750791
Druid has way more than just Wild Growth, which is the reason I don't think anything that gives you extra after x amount of mana should exist, at least not for druid. Unless you make the minion severely underpowered when played normally.

>>159751034
Druid uses Wild Growth and Mire Keeper. That's it.

>>159751074
Nourish?
It's really not unusual for druid to get 10 mana crystals while you're sitting at 6. So not only do you need to deal with his already strong minons, but you also now need to deal with even stronger version of those strong minions.

>>159746032
Seems to be encouraging curvestone even more with the add +X/+X mechanic to like half the cards. Plus dragon priest is going to be annoying as shit since it's probably even less entertaining than Shaman to play against

Blizzard way of balancing things

>something's overpowered
>just add something even more overpowered
>a class is weak
>just give them something so overpowered it defines the entire meta

>>159750418
It's probably the least creative archetype I've seen in any card game. And that says a lot considering I played most of them including the shitty ones like Vanguard.

>>159751684
>people still throw money at them so they don't have to change their ways

>>159751368
I don't see how the boost cards in your hand mechanic necessarily means curvestone. I mean, you could play it like that, but you can also hold cards back to try to buff specific ones or control what cards get buffed, or go off curve to play cards with buffs, etc.

It's more defensive minded and slower to start than turn 1 Tunnel Trogg turn 2 Totem Golem

>>159751268
Ramping with Nourish denies card draw, unless Fandral is on the board, but every sane man would instantly remove him.

>>159746032
It's probably the expansion I quit playing.

Priest is going to be if not outright broken, then at least retarded. Face warrior will be stupid. Paladin's cards are all unbelievable garbage. And most of all, this set looks really boring. The Tri-Class cards so far are all lorandom discover, which is the laziest design and would be even more detrimental to the state of the game if they were actually playable.

I'm just really tired of Blizzard's retarded design philosophy that forces certain classes into unplayable archetypes, while making others super strong and super flexible because of dumb ideas and emotional balancing. It's not going to change and the rotations will only serve as an excuse to not fix shit like hilariously imbalanced classic set.

Current Aoes already don't do shit against the majority of boardstates, now even cards like flamestrike will struggle.

The concept was decent IMO. It was virtually the only thing that could interact with enemy spells. With Malygod being a thing, Freeze Mage being a thing etc., the idea is not half bad.

Blizzard has a bit of inconsistency internally.

They are not introducing more sophisticated mechanics due to constraint on mobile platform and "confusing" players.

And then they introduce more cards that pushes meta so hard towards control, which makes a match longer than what a mobile player would like and harder to play for an "average" player.

What do they really want to achieve in the long run?

Got 2100 gold currently. Should I just drop it all on LoE? (have first wing already) Not having cards like tomb pillager/keeper of uldaman/elise/entomb/raven idol is already painful. Stuff like Brann or unearthed raptor are going to be insane.

It's pretty obvious that, after Joust and Inspire, their design philosophy is to create cards with unique effects, and then later use them as a main mechanic once they've seen the effect in action. Hopefully it means that they're better balanced, and these new cards will actually see play.

I'll try to fuck over all the disgusting controlcuck scum with combo decks, waiting to see how the meta develops. Then I'll stay to watch the meta falling apart and laughing as blizzard loses tons of paying customers after everyone realizes how horrible a control meta is. If they lose money they may do something about the game balance for once, nerfing Priest to unplayability again as it should be.

How do you guys feel playing a game with forced 50% winrate? I always win 10 just to lose 10 with the same deck.

>>159765116

>>159765116
because of spaghetti code you can't actually select the cards yourself

>>159765304
Is this bait? Good games use elo for ladder and you get a 50% win rate. This is the opposite of a forced 50% w/r

Hearthstone's retarded feelgood ladder is shitty for everyone, old and new

You either spend literally half the season climbing to your normal rank, or you don't climb and stagnate with a 45% win rate (as 50% would mean you're progressing until 5)

I've looked back on the nerf list. Pic related used to be 3 mana +2 attack charge without prevention from hitting face.
>Commentary: While we enjoy seeing players explore combo styles of play and will continue to support it in the future, we’ve seen in the past that the ability to give Charge to minions that don’t normally have it has been particularly problematic and also heavily restricts future cards. We’ve redesigned the card Charge in a way that provides opportunities for minion combat, but does not enable strategies that intend to win without allowing opponents to interact.
>While we enjoy seeing players explore combo styles of play and will continue to support it in the future
Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Fun and interactive like Freeze mage.
>does not enable strategies that intend to win without allowing opponents to interact.
That's why there are no more Loatheb-like effects, right? They introduced literally no way to stop an OTK aside from Tank Up.
What the fuck Team 5? I honestly don't mind Loatheb if it'ss the only way to interact with Malygos and Freeze decks.

2MB, 1920x1080px

>>159764887
I feel like the most replaceable cards are Xaril and Van Cleef. They can both enable wacky stuff (Cleef can make a huge body early, you can shadowcast it super late game to make a constant stream of 5/5+ bodies and Xaril can give you Bloodthistle Toxin to shadowstep a C'Thun or a Shadowcaster), but they're not integral to the core of the deck.

Wacky shit I've done so far today on my winstreak from 21 since I didn't ladder last season-

Made a 10/10 Cleef on 2 against priest, they had no Death.

Killed a mage with 20 damage out of hand from just Disciples of C'thun

Pushed a game to 7 fatigue damage on me by copying a bunch of Earthen Rings (technically infinite healing in 12 HP increments from casting 2 Branned ERFs)

Shadowcasted a Blade of C'thun with Brann up, ate half a warlock's board with them, got my C'thun up to over 30 power in that turn.

In general, I think this deck has a lot of potential but I'm too garbage to properly pilot it at the moment. Also, its subject to some "chunky" hands where you can just draw into combo pieces and move really slowly.

>>159766406
The biggest nerf is probably Blade Flurry because they nerfed perfectly fine card for no apparent reason.

>>159763712
Does Shadowcaster create a 1/1 C'Thun or a 1/1+buffs C'Thun?

>>159766563
1/1, but that isn't too important. Once you play C'Thun you should be killing your opponent.

what's your opinion on this semen demon?

I think it's prety good and the effect isn't bad either

>>159771696
Bland and flavorless arena filler.

>>159771943
>3 mana 3/3 with a 1 mana spell attached

Shieldslam minion when?

>>159771696
Pack filler.

>>159772209
This must be Pavels' world champ card

>>159771778
Thanks for your support man, it really pissed me off.

>>159771696

Oh, look! Its the Magma Rager of the set

>>159771943
Seems pretty good actually.

+1/+1 on a weapon is better than +1/+1 on a minion and there is no statline penalty. But it will only be run in pirate or maybe some new variant of face warrior. Control warrior probably doesn't need a regular 3-drop that does nothing if you don't have one of your three weapons in hand. Maybe if Fool's Bane becomes more popular, or some new staple weapon is released.

>>159772329
Ice red is a 3 mana 5/2, this card is a 4 mana 6/3. It could've just been called one more mana rager.

>>159772295
Flavor text: "how many hired guns does it take to win a world tournament? Ask pavel. "

>>159771696
Holy shit fuck off that art is amazing and deserves a playable card, something about a knife fight, or some motorcycle race or some Happy Days reference, something!

One does not simply make a sexy James Dean Worgen and give it 6/3. Its probably just a teaser.

>>159772209
>>159771696
We have waiting months for these new cards.
YAY!
FUCK YOU BLIZZARD, WHY DONT YOU RELEASE ~300 CARDS OER SET LIKE A REAL COMPAGNIE, ~1000 PER YEAR OR SOMETHING.

And not just fucking +/1 cost +/1 Attack/Health variations

FUCK

>>159772209
A Hired Gun...A Big Guy... damn you straight to hell /tv/, you got into my favorite card game.

Was releasing a shitty expansion a part of your plan?

6 mana 1/1 deal damage to all enemy minions equal to your armor

would you play it?

>>159773512
Why would I need a 1/1 to play an overpowered board wipe?

>>159773592
brann synergy

>>159766513
Thanks, maybe I'll be able to have some fun again

>>159773650
>now it deals 120 damage instead of just 60

wow that was really what it needed to be viable

I would play
10 mana Spell : Deal damage to all enemy equal to your armor

>could've just been another rager meme to keep reddit happy
>instead, wasting that art on vanilla stats that would've been bad in classic years ago, let alone in 2016

>>159772890
>Its probably just a teaser.
nah, that's the full card, and no one should be surprised at this point. really, vanilla stats should just be in classic, but then brode and co. would actually have to work on making creative cards to fill out every expansion

>>159773772
I support this idea. It will limit design space on armor gain cards and there will never be such deck as CW ever again.

>>159773512
>6 mana kill literally everything on your opponent's board without even damaging your own minions

That's fucking overpowered as fuck even if it was a 6 mana spell.

There's a fucking good reason people complain about Shield Bash essentially being 1 mana kill anything.
