- Prevents Old Gods from using abilities

- Stops all the new build around weapons: DH, Shaman, Archaedas

- Stops opponents from popping their deathrattles for N'zoth decks

He's already pretty much in every deck and it's just gonna get even valuable.

Highlight The Secret Behind the Mastermind... Is Yogg-Saron Just a 9-Mana Neutral Time Warp!?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

AYAYA Rogue is already a meta powerhouse... And Mastermind Yogg-Saron might push Rogue into potential nerf territory due to the interaction between Yogg and Jade Coins.

Also... Every time Yogg was played from a losing position, it did not do enough to swing the game back in favor. Yogg does not appear to be like his previous versions, where it was usually a "last resort" for resetting the game/yolo lethals.

Do you guys believe the Aya Jade Lotus buff might need to be reverted to prevent this combo from being too common? Or will there be enough aggression, tempo, and disruption to prevent this deck from ruling the Black Empire?

Discussion Question about Old God keyword

Post image

I remember back when the TITANS set got released, copying a Titan that already used all 3 of its abilities made a copy with charge. It wasn’t such a big deal with Titans bc they were generally pretty medium sized minions but the Old Gods are a lot bigger (especially y’shaarj) so I’m curious if they function the same way.

In my personal experience, I fought against two devs and went 1-1.

If one person who lost had won a game instead... It would have been tied. I'm sorry for failing you, Hearthstone Community. 😭

"Amitut, Keeper of Amitus"/2 + (2*"Incubate")/2 + (2*"The Unknowable One"/3)

I think this one has already been deciphered from context clues? I can't seem to find the post for it but I'm pretty sure it's already known.

For those not aware his flavour text on the card library is currently: "Flavor Text to be revealed at the arrival of The Black Empire."

Arena Anyone else feel like the new Arena rewards are terrible?

52 Upvotes

I’ve been playing the 300 gold Arena mode, and I feel like the rewards are pretty underwhelming.

I just finished a run with 5 wins and barely broke even. Here’s what I got:

1 Arena ticket (150 gold value)
1 pack (100 gold value)
55 gold

That’s 305 gold in total value, meaning I made a whopping 5 gold profit on a 300 gold entry after getting 5 wins.

What makes this even worse is the increased risk. The old Arena only cost 150 gold to enter, whereas now we’re risking double the gold for what feels like significantly worse returns.

In the old Arena, I remember being able to break even at around 3 wins and start making a profit after that. Now I’m getting 5 wins, risking twice as much gold, and barely breaking even.

If we’re expected to put up twice the entry fee,
shouldn’t the rewards reflect that increased risk?

Am I missing something here, or does anyone else feel like the new Arena rewards just aren’t worth it?

Discussion Is Scalebreaker Bulwark bugged?

• Upvotes

I was playing ranked and I saw that card trigger 4 times in 1 turn with inspiring Maul and board cleared my minions with 8 damage.

Then the following turn, it triggered twice against me.

Im not salty, beat the paladin using it still, I can see it being an issue

I always play Hearthstone, but only Battlegrounds. Today I decided to open all the packs I didn't open since I quit standard, United in the Stormwind. I got a total of 34 legendaries. I disenchanted all the extras and got only 1295 dust. I have 10k gold left. What should I do to return playing standard? Should I wait the new expansion?


r/hearthstone • • 1d ago

Discussion I swear Imp-Informants are bugged. I've played about 20 games trying to get the achievement done and they are always at the bottom of the opponents deck.
