[PC Game] Hearthstone (Practically Beta)

The Jaraxxus and UA changes are going to mess some people up, big time.

...also, as I am typing this, Hearthstone just applied ANOTHER update, so I wonder what little thing snuck by in the patch testing that they forgot to account for.

"Name a card that describes your love life"

The Caverns Below.

"Name a Hearthstone card you would also consider eating."

A. F. Kay :awesome:
 
@PatrThom I already played Raza, and got Coldarra Drake from a Bone Drake.
Oh that's right, I forgot you were playing Priest, not Mage[DOUBLEPOST=1509752262,1509752094][/DOUBLEPOST]
... beep beep... you've got to... you've got to...
EDIT: Oh don't give me that rating, Pat, you know damn good and well.
No, really. I don't get it. I'm probably thinking of the wrong song or something. I REALLY doubt you're making a Jekyll and Hyde, Together Again reference.

Man, for a guy who remembers things posted over a year ago, you sure forgot something you replied to 12 days ago awful fast.

Ah. Didn't remember the lyrics. I was actually remembering some 70's tune that I can't find..."you got to...you got to...give it to me" or something like that. Probably no less tame, when you think about it.

Two new things being added are the keyword Recruit (which just means "put a minion from your deck onto the battlefield") and Legendary weapons. Any idea what they'll do about Gorehowl only being an Epic?

EDIT: Also new are Spellstones. Spells that can be upgraded while they're in your hand. The example is a 1 mana Druid card, Jasper Spellstone, which starts out at deal 2 damage, but each time you gain 3 armor, it upgrades. You can do this twice. Once to 4 damage, then to 6.

And Unidentified cards, which have a certain base effect, but gain a random extra effect when they come into your hand. Like the 3 mana Priest card Unidentified Exlir, that gives a minion +2/+2 plus something else. If it's identified as an Elixir of Purity, it gives divine shield.

This feels like a lot.
 
I wonder if they're trying to combat the current strategy of "fill your hand/dump your hand/fill your hand/dump your hand/etc." (which is basically how aggro works), instead trying to find a way to get players to hold onto their cards as long as possible.

If so, this is the wrong card to introduce:

I imagine some of these new ideas pertain to specific classes and not others.
Every class is getting a legendary weapon. Recruit is already revealed on a Neutral card. I don't see why Spellstones, and Unidentified Cards wouldn't be in all classes as well.

Sooooo turns out I was actually remembering something from 2014.

Mystery solved!

We now return you to your regularly-scheduled content.
PAL? Really, Kripp?

I was disappointed when I found out the golden pack isn’t a guaranteed legendary, it’s just 5 cards that are guaranteed to be golden. So now I have 4 golden commons and 1 golden rare. Whee.
