I like that discard warlock is being called discolock.

You just said discard warlock and beast druid are not going to be made things by the cards here. So either 1. they tried to make standard-defining cards for warlock and druid but failed and knew that and then lied about it rather than changing the cards before release or 2. they made cards for casual archetypes and then said that's what they did.

Also, they said they gave the top classes arena and casual cards; that doesn't automatically include the converse of giving bottom classes standard-defining cards.

The idea of making an archetype based around discarding cards is stupid anyway. Nobody gets up in the morning and thinks "I can't wait to discard some cards in the Stone of Hearthing!"

I think they make the cards far in advance and don't tend to change them.

At this point I have few positive thoughts of the Hearthstone team.

In case you didnt hear, they said classes that are dominating or have many viable decks right now in standard will get mostly cards for arena and casual rather than good cards. Which doesnt really explain priest but explains some other choices.


I don't buy this.

It doesnt matter what you buy or not, they actually said thats what they are doing

This set is so underwhelming.

I also don't get "you're at a party!" from the cards the way I got "you're seeking ancient treasures" from LOE or "dark place full of undead and abominations" from Naxx.

I think they delivered the feeling of an enchanted mage tower pretty well through the cards, which may have been what they were going for moreso than the party thing. They also have the adventure itself to use to convey the flavor.

Once you've played the adventure, the cards will fit in a bit more. The LOE cards didn't match for me until I played that one.

---------------

The Hearthstone community (at least all the youtubers and reddit) have gone insane over the new priest 2 drop.

(Well, it made sense after some more draws, but still, it looked like the perfect comment for that moment :D)

I enjoyed the wing but it was kind of unexciting. Should have been flashier imo.

Yeah, chess was really cool, Medivh's deck was fun, and the shaman menagerie deck was cute. I quite enjoyed this wing.

literally how
If you haven't won before he starts using hero power it's almost universally game over
If you try to race, you lose the board. If you try to win the board, you don't win fast enough.
