Hearthstone

I genuinely had to do a double take and make sure we weren't on April 1st, because these cards are so ridiculous and silly. Mega-Windfury? Annoy-O-Tron? What the fuck? Oh my god, so bad, all the RNG. Goodbye competitive HS. Wow. I may stop playing, genuinely. The Shrinkmeister is like the only cool card I've seen, wow.

Well at least looking over the cards, pretty much none that have the word random in them are playable.

I wouldn't consider 120 cards a small pool, thats about a third of total cards that we started with.

Recombobulator is pretty good. But the RNG on that isn't really that annoying, it's more to get some value out of a silenced or disabled creature. Also Enchance-O-Mechano has potential.

The Blingtron 3000, Harrison Jones dream. Most of these cards look pretty fun to me; the only downside I can see so far is having to craft 120 more gold cards. First world problems.

I predict Priest "mech decks" are going to be pretty awesome.

Also I'm like 170k dust off of having a complete set of golden cards, I thought I'd have another like 6 months of arena to finish the set and build my gold bank before new cards.

Yeah the only good cards I spotted there belonged to priests.

Was kinda disappointed they didn't reveal any new Murlocs or Pirates. Maybe there's a Mechanical Murloc Pirate yet to be revealed. But seriously, how is Cookie not a Legendary Murloc Pirate.

Doombot might be the best 1-drop for arena when it hits.

It is interesting to see the players from different regions playing against each other. There are some rather obvious... not misplays per se, but differences in evaluating which cards are likely to be in the opponent's hand.

Okay, some of these are getting a little out of hand. Apparently can be received off the Blingtron:

I am cheering for Tiddler Celestial. He is running back the wolf outfit he bought after coming to the US. In the qualifier he didn't use a translator, and his enthusiasm was infectious.

Yeah, the comb-over and grill are both amazing.

Does it bypass taunt if it picks the non-taunt enemy? Would be hilarious.

Kolento just got Krushed.

I love Tiddler Celestial.

About the expansion: Probably gonna kill my interest in the game entirely. I don't really play it much as it is. I was assuming that they would get away from random effects as they added new cards, but it looks like it's vastly going in the other direction. I'm not going to enjoy this game when a third of the cards are random. When Scrolls launched, there were a couple random effect cards and players disliked them so much there hasn't been another random effect card since.

I agree that the expansion feels like a joke, and I agree that they should have waited after a few "standard release" expansions before dropping these cards.

It also feelslazy. There are so many cards that are "this other card but with more stats." Madder Bomber, really? A lot of cards suffering from the Brewmaster effect here like the Shredder / Sky Golem.

And what makes it worse is that contrary to a post above, a lot of these effects are actually strong enough to run. For example, Enhance-o-Mechano could work in a Zoo or Murloc deck, but like most of these cards it's going to be really swingy. Will your Doomguard get Windfury and you win or will it get Taunt and you lose? Who knows, woooo so fun!
