| Silverback Patriarch’s feelings of self-worth throughout Hearthstone’s history Posted: 03 Apr 2017 03:58 PM PDT Silverback Patriarch is known as an old friend by many. He greeted us when we all began, free in our collections. He volunteered a spot in our first decks, sacrificing himself countless times to save that sweet, sweet, 4 health. Then, he began to drift from us. We learned more about value, and cut him for stronger 3 drops. We became better deckbuilders, and deleted our old Beast/Spellpower Warriors for new pirate decks. We became more jaded, literally, and forgot the gentle touch of his 1 attack. Well, I took it upon myself to see what he's been up to, and it's not pretty. Classic and Naxx Silverback Patriarch cast out on the playground After Silverback was removed from the beginner's decks, he began to be an outcast from the more popular cards. He listened to their tales of value longingly, hoping that he would have some niche use in the future. Goblins vs Gnomes Silverback Patriarch eating alone at lunch With GvG, the first "strict" upgrade to Silverback came out: Gnomeregan Infantry. He bullied Silverback patriarch relentlessly, "You'll never be as good as me, Silverbad, and I'm trash," he jeered through his diver's helmet. "Also, who eats a sandwich with a fork?" Silverback tried to explain the fork was for his salad, but Gnomeregan Infantry was already gone. He grumbled under his breath, "At least I have a beast tag," but deep down, he knew it made no difference. Houndmaster would never touch him with a 20-foot pole. Over the next year, he was hired by Gul'dan for a part-time job in Hobgoblin zoo, where he was forced to work with that jerk Gnomeregan Infantry. At least it paid the bills. League of Explorers Silverback Patriarch awake at 2 am LoE was hard for Silverback. His Wife, Silverback Matriarch, left him for Fierce Monkey out of nowhere. Silverback, alone in his bed, thought about what could have been. "If I had 2 more attack, she'd still be here," he thought, "Matriarch's only interested in Fierce Monkey because he lifts. They're not even the same species, it will never last." But even he knew that was a lie. Matriarch was never coming back. Silverback didn't get a lot of sleep. Old Gods Silverback Patriarch watches TV Silverback got laid off at his job, Hobgoblin had to quit as he was moving to Wild, so there just wasn't any support for Silverback left. He spent most of his days watching TV in the dark, looking at news stories of younger folks like Squirming Tentacle and Twilight Geomancer achieving things that he would never dream of. He began drinking as an attempt to wash away his feelings of wasted potential. Un'goro Silverback Patriarch homeless in an alley This picture was taken recently. By now, Silverback has lost his home and is in a deep depression. Every time he tries to sleep, he can see the faces of Tar Creeper, Stonehill Defender, and Hot Spring Guardian burned into his mind. I ask you, Blizzard, how long are you going to keep doing this to Silverback Patriarch? He is immortal in standard, forced to watch through his misery as each upgrade passes through every rotation. What did he do to deserve this? [link] [comments]  | ||
| [Rant] Hearthstone needs a RE-ROLL button for legendary Posted: 03 Apr 2017 10:51 PM PDT For most players who doesn't buy hundreds of packs, finally getting close to that 40-pack legendary pity timer is an exciting thing. But when you spend the saved up gold on packs and end up with repeated legendaries, especially crappy ones, you just feel terrible.
I personally really like the mechanic in faeria where you get to re-roll your highest rarity card for a different card of the same rarity. Ideally I would really like to be able to get full refund for any repeated legendaries.
But we all know it's probably never going to happen ;_;
Edit: Just realized that I made it to the bottom of the front page, thanks for the upvotes :D glad that people are interested in this topic. But got to sleep now ;_;
Edit2: OMG I'm actually on the front page HAHAHAHA :D. Just finished reading all the comments, there are for sure lots of ways to solve this unfortunate issue. Also, seeing how unlucky some of you were really made me feel better, thanks you reddit :) and you have my condolences. On a more serious/optimistic note, this legendary issue becomes a real problem only for casual/semi-casual players with a medium-sized collection. I think the majority of the HS players are far from getting enough legendaries for multiple duplicates to occur (although a lot of hs redditors for sure have a decent collection going). So compare to a stale meta or card balances, duplicate legendary is for sure not the most pressing problem. But I'm sure as more players build a better collection, eventually this issue will become more pronounced and get resolved somehow :).
Dear Ben Hearthstone, please bless me with good legendaries for my first pre-purchase ;_; [link] [comments]  | ||

| LOL just open a Golden Shifter Zerus. Is this the best golden card? Posted: 04 Apr 2017 04:02 AM PDT This has to be the best card to have golden right since now you have a golden of every minion card in the game lol. You can literally just keep it in your hand forever and not play it while watching it turn to another golden card every turn the value!!! I added it to my reno lock seems pretty good. I got a key card and won against a mirror. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Dirty Rat may be your best friend when Journey to Un'Goro comes out. Posted: 04 Apr 2017 05:24 AM PDT I mention Dirty Rat mostly because of the quest cards coming up in the set. Now, obviously, when it comes to the Druid, Hunter, Paladin, Priest, and the Shaman quests rewards, pulling out the minion with the Rat will prevent them from using the battlecry on the minions, but there are other ways you can counter quest as well. The Warrior, Hunter and Rogue quests require the user to Play minions for the quest, so pulling out minions from their hand will not trigger the counter for the quest. Also, for Hunters, this works extremely well if the general strategy is running 29 1-drops and the quest because you can simply play dirty rat on turn 2/3, pull out a 1 drop, and thus delaying them from completing their quest for 1 turn. Also, for Rogue, if you notice that the Rogue is trying to bounce a particular minion for the quest, being able to pull at from their hand and kill the minion immediately as they are nearly done with the quest can be game winning. When it comes to the Mage quest, if the general strategy is to kill you with Giants, like Arcane Giant, using Dirty Rat to pull out one and kill it might save you from being kill in one (or two?) turn(s). When it comes to the Warlock Quest, while it might be ok to pull out a Discard related minion to slow down their progression on the quest, what you want to be doing is trying to pull out Clutchmother Zavas. By pulling out Zavas, you have prevented the Warlock from getting free "ticks" on their discard quest, and if the Warlock does not have any cards in his hand when he plays a Discard related card, the quest counter does not go up. There are also ways of using Dirty Rat to counter Elements. One of the more obvious way of telling if your opponent has an Element he wants to play is that if the only Elemental he played last turn was a Fire Fly or a Flame Elemental, so playing Dirty Rat and then following it up with some removal can be quite strong. ( And also, Elementals require you to Play minions as well. ) That is all I can think of right now. If anyone else can think of other uses for Dirty Rat when the rotation hits, let me know.

| whoever plans to play wild in future should go and get LoE right now! Posted: 03 Apr 2017 11:43 PM PDT there are crucial cards in there for wild mode, and you will only be able to craft them after ungoro rolls out. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Try Malchezaar on Un'Goro's Release Day Posted: 03 Apr 2017 05:17 PM PDT I know he's usually a meme-card, but he's pretty cool if you want to try out some of the new legendaries for yourself. Sure, you only can get the class minion/the 5 neutrals, but bring able to play one of the flashy new legendaries day 1 is a pretty good feeling. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Eurogamer Italy Interview with Dean Ayala (testing & balancing) Translated Posted: 04 Apr 2017 04:39 AM PDT By Stefano Silvestri. Interesting interview about balancing. Q: With Un'Goro, Reno Jackson will exit standard. Playing single card decks will be very difficult. Have you got any plans on introducing a similar card? Q: Do you think single card decks will be completely left behind with Un'Goro? Q: "By the fire purged!" When you hear that phrase, you immediately recognise Hearthstone. Standard format shifts the Meta, but at the same time sweeps away all those characters who in terms of marketing made the game what it is now. Isn't that risky? Q: Arena top 100 was well received. What can you say about it? Q: Any plans on introducing player-created tournaments? Q: I'm curious about one thing. Why is attack 4 the weak spot of the priest? You gave him cards to destroy every kind of minion except the ones with 4 attack points. What's the math behind this choice? Why not 5? Q: Will you make the players craft card backs? Q: Why didn't you give the chance to buy arcane dust? Q: You are on the balancing team. Pardon me for being rude, but I have to ask you. What were you thinking about when you introduced Gadgetzan cards? Pirate Warrior deck is too unbalanced, and the expansion in general reduced the meta variation a lot. Warriors are only pirate, priests are dragon and it's near impossible to find a druid that's not jade. Q: Talking about Jade, it's very difficult for every control deck to compete effectively against Jade Druid... You said today some decks can compete with Jade, and that Un'Goro will shift the meta. But how about Jade mechanics? It's a long time before they go Wild. Q: Including Shamans, Druids and Rogues? Q: Every time I met with you developers we considered rush and control decks, never Mill decks. They are my favourite, because I don't think there's anything better than winning a game playing with a Mill Rogue. Will you ever build cards towards that mechanic? Q: Do you consider losing at turn 5 by a Pirate Warrior deck to be less frustrating? More to come soon EDIT: Words [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to get into Wild if you don't own any GVG/NAXX Posted: 04 Apr 2017 08:18 AM PDT Hey guys, First of all, this is not a post bragging about how good wild is and why you should play it. It is simply an information piece, to help more recent or returning Hearthstone players. I have seen on this subreddit recently that a lot of people are thinking about disenchanting all of their rotating cards going to wild since they do not have Goblins vs Gnomes/Naxx or previously disenchanted it. The general consensus seems to be that it is too late for me to start playing wild so I might as well disenchant everything that is rotating. The idea behind this post is to show that if you are curious about playing wild now or in the future, you can easily get into it with small modifications to your existing pre-rotation standard decks. For example, I was able to hit wild rank 5 in February using standard Dragon Priest with a pair of velen's chosen and a single death lord. You can even use pirate warrior and hit legend by spending only 160 dust! Cost wise you do not even need to craft a single epic or legendary to have a tier 1 deck. This is not a budget thing, it's that they are simply not needed (Sorry Dr Boom). In fact, you can create a really nice wild collection for the classes you enjoy for less than the price of two epics. Below is a list of common and rare staples currently in wild which you can craft for next to nothing depending on your deck. If I forgot one I apologise. Common Ships cannon Piloted Shredder Antique Healbot Flame cannon - mage Shielded minibot - paladin Velen's Chosen - priest Crackle - shaman Dark bomb - warlock Haunted creeper Mad scientist Webspinner - hunter Duplicate - mage Death's bite - warrior Rare Unstable portal - mage Muster for battle - paladin Implosion - warlock Death Lord Neurubian egg Sludge belcher TL/DR: List of commons and rares that are frequently played in wild. You can craft a tier 1 deck for next to nothing (160 dust and your pirate warrior or dragon priest deck is tier 1 Wild). You never know if you will be interested in wild in the future.

| By far, the best game I have ever played. Posted: 03 Apr 2017 10:27 PM PDT this is how it all ended. I feel so sorry for my opponent, he wouldn't add me after and I understand why. Renomage vs Renolock. Standard, nothing special. the game started with me discovering a second iceblock from CRYSSSTALS. got a little bit of a board going. cabalist tomb into 2 more cabalist tombs and whatever. Renolock does the fuckin Brann, Dirty Rat, MCT thing. Pulls Reno and a 5/5. steals Reno and a 1/1... its not looking too good now. game goes on.. Renolock Renos.. I chipped away at him, got him to about 16. second cabaliat tomb gave me a pyroblast, I'm so close to finishing this game. I try to stabilize while I'm around 2hp and 8 armor. Lock plays kazakus.... he must have got direct damage I think to myself..... I take lethal off of his board and hope for the best. his kazakus potion must have been awful choices because he summoned an 8/8 and gave all his minions +6 hp when he only needed any damage to finish me off.. what do I topdeck on my last turn to survive? Mother. Fucking. Yogg. my Savior restores some hp to me, vanishes the board. Lock doesn't play much, the 8/8 and some 1/1 imps.... I could have finished him with the pyroblast but I still had yogg. fuck it I said, lets close this game on a bang. yogg played mindgames, got me a jaraxus. played me 2 paladin secrets and a bunch of other crap.. what does my opponent do on his final turn of the game? he played his topdecked, final card in his deck jaraxus.... right into repentance (sets his hp to 1) and then swings into my face with the weapon TO GET KILLED WITH EYE FOR AN EYE!! i wish I could have gotten more screenshots, I didn't know it was going to be so epic. by the end I was laughing so hard I barely got this one screenshot. GhostDog, whoever you are, thank you for the best game I've played yet, I hope those yogg's didn't tilt you too much because I had lethal anyways, lol. [link] [comments]  | ||

| I know this is a terrible idea, but priest can now win the game in a 3 card combo. Posted: 04 Apr 2017 06:13 AM PDT Lorewalker Cho, Radiant Elemental, Mind Vision. If your opponent's hand is empty, I believe you get the mind vision back. Play 10 mind visions for free, and your opponent can no longer draw cards. Hit face with Radiant Elemental 15 times to win the game. [link] [comments]  | ||
