Ben Brode Guesses the Card

Can we please keep the pack openings at /r/HSPulls?

Posted: 21 Jan 2018 12:16 AM PST

There's been a large increase in pack openings on the front page for the last couple of weeks. Some days it just fills up the front page, often leaving little room for actual discussion about Hearthstone. Most of them aren't really that impressive to begin with...

Yo, Surrender just got eliminated after having one of the most unlucky games I have ever seen, and then some more bad luck after. I had packs riding on him, and I have always liked him. And his awesome streak of wins is over ;-;

Gutmook used Millhouse while I had unstable evolution, and I managed to get Ilidan from evolving. He filled my board and then this happened.
