NewerShadow 11/01/19 9:47:45 PM #495 | Maybe its just the third expansion factor, but a bunch of the revealed cards (https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/cards?set=descent-of-dragons) seem stronger than usual, even in neutral. Dragon synergy seems strong as usual, but even stuff like 7/7/7 taunt/untargetable, 8 mana 4/10, battlecry deal 4 damage to 2 random enemy minions are both strong on commons, and in general on things that are going to be in a tribal discover pool a lot. The breath spells also seem strong when theyre turned on. |

NewerShadow 10/08/19 4:15:44 PM #77 | Maybe some, but lacking a mobile app probably means it will miss out on a decent amount of people looking to jump. As someone who has been looking to at least diversify into MTGA along with Hearthstone, my main obstacle is actually a Mac client, since trying to get it to run under WINE was really buggy for me. I did see that its actually on their radar recently, at least. |

NewerShadow 10/04/19 1:22:12 PM #457 | Looks like that leaked list of cards was accurate after all. Official post: https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/blog/23156374/can-you-survive-the-doom-in-the-tomb Card List: There are also some new tavern brawls, and a bunch of quests with pack rewards, plus dual-class arenas return. |

NewerShadow 09/30/19 7:07:02 PM #448 | i finally cleared wing 3 on Heroic today - I ended up running the token Druid deck in the end, since it worked so well with the tomb. Trying with Mage of any variety was pretty miserable before that, though. I fully broke Jythiros of Questions once, which was fun, and the played deathrattles gain reborn treasure was really strong. Wing 4 opens tomorrow, and I think Im actually looking forward to it. |

NewerShadow 09/29/19 12:35:46 PM #98 | I am surprised you admitting to be a Northwestern fan.While this may be hard for you specifically to comprehend, Corrik, being a fan sometimes means owning the negatives that come up for your team (and being frustrated by them). If you cant sometimes accept the surreal like having the worst completion percentage of any p5 team, youre just being a fair weather fan. Also, Northwestern won their division last year, theres no shame in being a fan! Given that its my alma mater, its not really surprising though. |

NewerShadow 09/29/19 11:20:22 AM #90 | Current Northwestern combined QB passing, through 4 games: 61/130 for 566 yards; 2 TD/7 INT, 4 fumbles lost; 56 rushing attempts/107 yards/1 TD (May include 11 sacks/-101 yards?) hard to imagine preseason that we would be missing the days of Trevor Siemian and Clayton Thorson, but here we are. |

NewerShadow 09/29/19 10:55:32 AM #442 | We know theyre bringing 23 cards back for sure, since there was an official post on it on Thursday. Its supposed to be a meta shakeup event, to fill the time between expansions. The specific leaked list isnt confirmed aside from the two examples, but the official list will be revealed on Friday. JonThePenguin posted... Oh hey cards from Wild being made temporarily eligible for Standard, complete with everyone being given non-disencantable copies of them. Ragnaros and NZoth are the examples given. |

NewerShadow 09/28/19 10:14:03 PM #85 | Northwestern defense: pretty good! (Held Wisconsin to 10 offensive points) Northwestern offense: unspeakably bad! And thats before the quarterback injuries! Overall: just play the song. I think I much prefer going undefeated in non-conference and whatever in conference to starting off terrible and backdooring into a bunch of wins. |

NewerShadow 09/23/19 9:28:43 PM #405 | I cleared the second plague lord on Heroic with Reno by managing to pull off the secret deck. Treasures were -1 enemy minion attack, Runaway Gyrocopter, Draw 2 more per turn/Immune Fatigue, and the Hearthstone (which is stupidly powerful on its own). Turns out you can find another Hearthstone with the "Discover a treasure" power, so I looped to Bob's tavern 3 times and cleared. The secret plan is nowhere near consistent in Heroic Wing 2 though, there are a ton of dangerous bosses that can show up in the first 3 encounters. |

NewerShadow 09/17/19 6:56:26 PM #384 | I think you misread; I died before reaching him so he started from full (because I did no damage to him). |
Topic | Hearthstone Discussion Topic 519 - The Rise of the Mech |
NewerShadow 09/17/19 6:17:26 PM #382 | Managed to kill the first boss on normal in one cycle (on my second try, but I lost on encounter 7 the first try, so he started from full). My deck abused the treasure where Treasures seem very powerful this time around, and Bob has more actions that you can take. |

NewerShadow 08/31/19 1:53:40 AM #11 | Purdue just emptied a full clip of bullets into their own feet tonight at Nevada, going from up 31-14 in the third quarter to punting up 31-24 with 3:40 to go, to losing in regulation on a 56-yard field goal by a freshman kicker. Amazing to watch as a mostly neutral fan, just a phenomenal choke job. |

NewerShadow 08/18/19 3:51:45 PM #285 | Yeah, I had a weird one as well: While playing Warrior you beat Warrior 93.8% of the time in Tavern Brawl. It looks like they counted the mini Blackrock Mountain adventure in the stats, and I guess all of those games counted as Warrior vs Warrior? |

NewerShadow 08/06/19 4:15:23 PM #205 | Got the Shaman quest as my free quest, and Shaman legendary from the bundle, so thats two things I wont need to craft. Early thoughts: Druid quest is really consistent so far, at least without seeing a true aggro deck. The Choose One rush minion is really strong, and between the choose 1 Discover spell and the unspent mana minion, you have options for early game to complete the quest around turn 5/6. |

NewerShadow 08/04/19 9:08:21 PM #196 | You can open any packs you have already (either from preorders or the free ones from tavern brawl) in a fireside gathering, but you cant buy any new ones with gold. Since theyre running the prerelease event, you can just set up a private/unlisted gathering at https://firesidegatherings.com/en-us/ if you just want to open your packs. |

NewerShadow 08/04/19 6:42:41 PM #193 | Cracked my packs early to avoid the rush on Tuesday. The main highlights were the Rogue/Druid quests, other legendaries were Warrior quest and the 10/10 neutral (from the 80 pack preorder). I think my day 1 crafting list is Armagedillo and the Shaman quest, while Ill watch out for playability of the Rogue/Shaman legendaries and the Hunter quest. I want to mess around with a Taunt Warrior with Oondasta, but I think Quest Rogue/Shaman will probably be best for climbing early with quicker games, so they might be my starting points to get from rank 10 to 5. |

NewerShadow 07/31/19 6:06:29 PM #182 | Full card list is out: https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/cards?set=saviors-of-uldum Its probably easiest to view if you sort by mana cost. Thoughts after a quick scan: The rogue quest looks really powerful to me - why do they get immune and why is the requirement so low? Like this slots into a deck with hench clan burglars and blink foxes (except for the mirror) easily, just add another steal card or three for consistency. In Mage, draw a secret, set its mana cost to 0 is powerful. Shaman gets legally not Maelstrom Portal. Notable neutrals: new egg, body wrapper, Pit Crocolisk (might fit in a battlecry Shaman deck as a fake blazecaller?). |
Topic | Hearthstone Discussion Topic 519 - The Rise of the Mech |
NewerShadow 07/30/19 11:42:48 AM #180 | So as far as revealed cards go, were still waiting on: Hunter/Priest/Rogue quests, the Shaman legendary, plus two neutral legendaries, with one more reveal today and the stream tomorrow. IMO Reborn doesnt look that great so far, aside from some stuff like the warrior rush card. It seems like it will be awkward to fit a lot of them into decks. I think Mage/Warrior/Hunter are the strongest classes so far - I think taunt warrior could be real, Mage/Hunter both got strong secrets and Mage got a bunch of secret synergy too. Rogue could be also good with all the death rattle cards they have had across the last two years, and mechathun rogue could be real. |

NewerShadow 07/12/19 8:10:53 PM #154 | Mass Hysteria is one way that it could trigger now, it has shown up in a couple trolden videos in the last couple months. I think the paladin card Duel! should also do it, since its another forced attack card in that vein. |

NewerShadow 06/16/19 6:46:31 PM #96 | The packs are supposed to be 3 hours and 6 hours cumulative, for a pack each, but I think the first pack is dropping at 4 hours instead of 3. Considering last time it rewarded on 4 cumulative hours, maybe they messed up the first trigger. |

NewerShadow 06/06/19 9:26:45 PM #74 | In other wisdomball "fun": That's Ragnaros, generated from Unexpected Results, hitting a 1 in 8 to kill me - Wisdomball transformed a 1/1 into Majordomo (who then immediately died to a boosted Arcane Explosion) immediately after I played my Druid death knight. I survived for 3 turns after that, even with a greater arcane missiles (into a full board). I think that deck could have cleared too, the random cost passive does a lot of work. |

NewerShadow 05/22/19 10:24:49 PM #10 | I took Midrange Hunter from low 8 to 5 in a single winstreak over the last couple days.

NewerShadow 05/22/19 3:42:09 PM #5 | ShatteredElysium posted... Actually I remember why I stopped playing now. It gave me some awful solo content quests which overwrote all my normal quests. So I was stuck with 3 special quests that needed clearing that would take some time to clear and I couldn't get any normal quests until I was done. And when I looked into it apparently when you cleared them it just gave you more anyway. So I just thought fuck this and stopped logging in as it waa basically forcing me to do hours of solo content before I could do anything else I think they changed it at the start of this rotation to allow you to reroll those quests. |

NewerShadow 05/21/19 1:36:51 PM #483 | Cards Im interested in within that block: Necromechanic, Unexpected Results?, Extra Arms. Crystology now being a 1-mana draw 2 is pretty nuts. Pogo Hopper at 1 means you can consistently tutor it with witchwood Piper now, I guess. Violet Haze is strong in arena but probably still too bad for constructed. Both warrior mechs will be more annoying when discovered. |

NewerShadow 05/17/19 12:18:16 AM #444 | Cleared Heroic 1st wing as mage on my third/fourth try, I think? My passive treasures were just +1 mana and +2 cards, but I got a decent spread of minions and I had Yogg against I think the taverns are really nice for fixing a deck, and overall the mode was better than I had expected. I also pulled Blastmaster Boom from the 3 reward packs, though Im still short a bunch of epics that I need for bomb warrior. |

No packs (other than the boomsday pack for logging in, but I know you don't need to watch for this one). How does this work again? You get 1 Rise of Shadows pack for passing 4 cumulative hours of viewing time across all 4 days. Also, every hour, 1500 random people who are currently watching win a classic pack. |

NewerShadow 04/05/19 11:56:34 AM #47 | Nine Lives is also an activator in a way, as long as oblivitron isnt transformed before it dies. You dont really care if you hit the wrong mech the first time, as long as you hit any mech, since you can activate it again later *and* get it back in your hand. You should be able to run few enough deathrattles to guarantee your choice too. |

NewerShadow 04/04/19 9:12:33 PM #43 | In terms of consistency, I wonder if Pyro/etc (Blast Wave/Blizzard/Flamestrike/Pocket galaxy/Creation are the only others) are enough to warrant playing Sunreaver Warmage in a mage deck built around burn, since it has the option to go face and Kalecgos is now available for the extra boost. Losing Mana Wyrm on 1 hurts, but as mentioned, turn 1 plays in general seem to be dropping off a lot this rotation so who knows. |
Topic | Hearthstone Discussion Topic 493 - Rise of Shadows Is Upon Us |
NewerShadow 04/04/19 12:08:53 AM #26 | Decks Im interested in: mech hunter, token/treant Druid, any number of rogue decks, bomb warrior, small spell mage. Sweeping Strikes (2 mana Warrior spell, give a minion also damages adjacent minions when attacking) looks strong. There is a lot of spell damage on the neutrals this time, maybe it actually catches on for a class like hunter this time? If theres anything Im really surprised by, its that paladin got one dragon synergy card, but really only got one other card that goes with it. I think I mostly want League of EVIL legendaries. Hunter is really the only good class that has legends Id want, there arent too many that I find inspiring, I guess. I dont think theres a whole lot that I dislike though. |
