I'm glad they did the limited rollout to iron out bugs and figure out where the bottlenecks are. This actually isn't uncommon for big releases to get published in other regions weeks or months before NA release.

They were always running Hunter's Mark in my experience. I pretty much refuse to play Hunter anymore but I do at least have the standard UTH deck built, and you bet your ass it has 2 Hunter's Marks in it.
You know, I am not really all that in favor of them nerfing UTH, believe it or not. I desire balance like everyone else does. Like even Blizzard does. Nerfing or buffing cards in a CCG is not the correct approach. Not at all. If they open that floodgate, then everyone in the universe will have SOME card that they hate and SOME card that they love and they will lobby like hell to get them nerfed or buffed. It would be a never ending gripe.
The answer is to release more cards. To essentially 'dilute' UTH (or whatever card we all happen to hate at any given moment) to a place of relative unimportance with an ocean of new cards and new synergies.
I think I might be drawing a line here. If Blizzard nerfs or buffs existing cards, at will, that I either did or potentially did pay real money for, I will be done with this game. But on the other hand, if UTH is allowed to run rampant for.... 6 months? a year or more? (give or take) then I will be forced to be done with this game. CCGs are living and breathing entities and they need to be fed like all other forms of life.

I mean, when your argument boils down to this is the only card that actually makes the class playable I think you have bigger problems. That alone says to me that card needs to be nerfed and others need to be made better.
UTH is just way too powerful with way too much synergy at 2 mana. Compare it to any other class 2 card that was meant to do a similar thing and it just destroys them all in versatility.

Its not like you "paid money for" one specific card, you have no idea what card you will get from packs. Plus they give full D/E value for nerfed cards. I'd keep nerfed cards anyway for collection and because who knows. Unless its like a legendary and you're getting 1600 dust to make a different one.

When this comes out for iPad, I'm seriously going to be playing it all the time.
Can you play two Blizzard games from the same account at the same time? I want to be slaying demons in D3 in between HS turns on the iPad

Yeah, I play HS on the same account as my son playing WoW in another room, but if one of us logs into the b.net client from a different house/IP then it knocks the other off. I have a separate account too but I like doing dailies and arenas on both HS accounts since he doesn't play it.

I'm sure you do this already, but the solution is to just use the bnet client in one place and not the other. The bnet client isn't required for WoW, but it is for HS.

He does play HS once in a great while, played more at first and doesn't as much now, so I think he just got used to using the client. That's a good point though, its really not much hassle to log in again and they will probably require every game to use it eventually right? Still, useful if he wants to log into WoW somewhere else.

I just got it on my iPad, yay for being Canadian for once. It's pretty awesome, it plays very well...I think my iPad 2 is struggling a bit at times but still runs it well.
I was waiting for this version for a while, this is a time waster for me...and I don't like sitting at computer to play it. Now I can sneak in a game between periods while watching hockey, during my lunch breaks at work etc...in bed before going to sleep.
To me iPad version adds tons of value to the game.
Oh yeah, got a free Pack for playing on the iPad.

Yeah, the hilarious thing is it isn't the 5 damage he would have gained that mattered, he had to run it into a mirror image. It was the 1 damage from the spellbender.

You have gold Faceless, gold Truesilver, TWO gold Argent Commanders, and a fucking gold Sylvanas but you're rank 21 and you make mistakes left and right. But of course, you still won didn't you?
God damn tourist.
