These are twitch viewer stats for Hearthstone for the last 180 days. Upper blue line is peak viewers and lower turqois line is average viewers. You can see that there are peaks at at every expansion (August & December) and also one peak in October (maybe Octoberbrawl or that cool arena event). I would not say the viewer numbers in generel are dwindling. It has a steady base of viewers. If you compare baselines before the expansions, the viewers get even more.
This is how I would have understood it as well. Had no idea someone would willingly run sacred trial though.
Been having fun with Aggro paladin and a budget version of Spiteful summoner build for Priest.
I always concede matchups I have no interest in playing. I've been conceding every game. No interest anymore until rotation.
I can't even bring myself to finish my quests.

Sometimes I will choose it when I get it from the murloc. No one really expects it. It's saved me against tempo rogue when they've dropped a Cobalt.

Related question...what ever happened to TrumpSC? Most times I see him he's #3 hs streamer or lower? I was always more of a hsdogdog fan but never understood why Trump dropped when he used to be the #1 HS streamer.
This is cool. Are there numbers that go back farther? There's also the variable of Twitch's overall viewership.

No king rules forever. Also I wonder how much the name "Trump" now help/hurts him.
I guess you could say Trump's approval rating...dropped a bit.
I've noticed I am not watching most of the major streamers of HS any more. I used to watch Kripp, as he has none of the donation/sub crap on screen that annoys me - I know why it is there but I can dislike it! I ended up liking a few of the smaller streams, around the 100 viewer mark. People with a smaller engaged community are more fun - chat is even tollerable.
I recommended Sunglitters' Arena streams is you want someone good at the game, that does not play the major classes, and is fun to watch
For example - https://clips.twitch.tv/CoyShakingPastaPermaSmug (maybe dont watch at full volume....)

This probably sounds really weird, but he took a similar path that Jimmy Fallon did for me. Both him and Fallon were my favorites just because they seemed really nice, and I liked that kinda awkward but positive personality. And then the years 2016 and 2017 happened and I grew so cynical that those types of personalities stopped appealing to me. Now I need the Kripp and Reynad salt to reinforce my blackened heart.
I doubt that's the case for anyone else, though fallon has also taken a huge fall in ratings.

I liked Trump more when I didnt know how to play.
Now I know how to play and watching him is kind of awkward sometimes.
Also his greed keeps getting him killed in They Are Billions. The throws are real.
I wish xixo streamed more.
Justsaiyan pulls a bunch of people into a skype call (or discord channel or whatever) at the end of the month to watch other people grind ranks in hopes of hct points. That's a fun one too.

Whoa
Just got a golden The Darkness along with a Level Up and Gather your Party in one pack
Golden legendary, epic and rare - not bad
Does the Darkness suck? I could dust it into a more useful legendary

It is not great if you are playing with a mindset to win win win. but it is great for a bit of fun... For example:
- # 1x (1) Deadscale Knight
- # 1x (1) Hungry Crab
- # 2x (2) Devolve
- # 2x (2) Flametongue Totem
- # 2x (2) Golakka Crawler
- # 2x (2) Jade Claws
- # 2x (2) Maelstrom Portal
- # 2x (2) Rockbiter Weapon
- # 2x (3) Mana Tide Totem
- # 2x (4) Corpsetaker
- # 1x (4) Hex
- # 1x (4) The Darkness
- # 1x (4) Windspeaker
- # 1x (5) Bloodlust
- # 1x (5) Doomhammer
- # 1x (5) Volcano
- # 1x (5) White Eyes
- # 2x (6) Thing from Below
- # 2x (7) Corridor Creeper
- # 1x (8) Al'Akir the Windlord

The darkness is one of the ones I'd never craft but would like to open in a pack to keep around for some silly fun decks.
If they ever go truly insane with 1 mana 1/1 copy effects, it could become tier 1 overpowered because it is maybe the best card in the game to copy in hand. They seem to like printing new cards for the copy mechanic too, but for now it's too hard to make those copies.
I find it hard keeping around a golden legendary never using it just for the chance at it becoming good in the future.

Enjoy finding out, Priest is relatively easy, Warrior gave me a rough time.
savage roar in the HOF plz
probably the easiest card in the freaking game to build a deck around
It goes back one year. This would be the figure for one year:
Actually you can see a decrease of the average viewers for hearthstone. It is not substantial, but you can see it.
And yes, there is the variable of Twitch's overall viewership: The average viewer count for the last 365 days is about 750k, which is 150k higher than for the previous 365 days. So, in relation to the growth of Twitch, the Hearthstone audience gets smaller.
There are also some stats about Trump: He lost quite some of his viewership the last year. And I actually didn't know that he streams different games.
Check it out for yourself: https://sullygnome.com/channel/TrumpSC/365
it's the 4th deck, you take
some kind of control warlock
raza priest (sometimes combo priest if you plan on not banning priest)
tempo rogue
PUT 4TH DECK HERE
4th deck works out to be Aggro Druid for a lot of people It's not the strongest deck in anyones lineup and its brought more because it effectively beats up on other aggro decks. Ant brought an aggro lineup, Ant will likelynot win worlds. There are also a few murloc paladins and im interested to see how they do, I expect them to be weak points for the players that brought them.
4th deck is also sometimes jade druid because it can gain silly amounts of armor against priest and should have enough sustained pressure to push out control lock (not cubelock). It also has numerous defensive tools to perform well against aggressive decks like aggro druid and tempo rogue.
JustSaiyan was testing Fr0zen's Jade druid which is interesting because it runs violet teachers instead of 3/6 taunts and it has no wraths.
Savjz is playing this weasel tunneler deck... Jesus Christ I hope this doesn't become popular
Thanks for digging this up. It appears that Hearthstone remains a stream beast but that it is declining in popularity. The game could probably use a decent shake up in terms of gameplay and personalities. I'm hopeful for the next expansion.It goes back one year. This would be the figure for one year:

Are there no competitive Aggro/Tempo decks that don't use Patches? I do not want to craft him for the few months he is in standard, so I guess I can't really play aggro decks until rotation?
i'm guessing you have a newish collection....you can play hunter without patches, some people use him but beast synergy is fine, esp since corridor creeper fits in so well now
Almost all secret mages don't use patches. Almost all use Aluneth, but I suppose it isn't that crucial.
This 1,360 dust secret mage deck seems like it could be good:

playing secret mage without aluneth is doable, but i highly recommend doing it in wild so you can use duplicate for free cards to fill your hand....of course that brings mad scientist and flamewaker into play too, but mad scientist is a common
i actually use pyros in my wild secret mage, which sounds wacky, but i got the idea off a high legend player who does it, kinda helps with keeping your hand full of cards you can play every turn and if it gets duplicated it can really help fill some holes in your curve

Nice writeup on the evolution of the Spiteful Summoner Dragon Priest, as well as a variant I hadn't seen before but am now using. Ditches Kelseth and (gasp!) Free from Amber (both of them!), adds a couple of Doomsayers and a dragonfire potion. I've played a few games with it and I like it. Don't miss the Free from Ambers as much as I thought I would because while they draw better minions from Spiteful Summoner than Mind Control does they are dead cards when you draw them more often than not. Especially vs aggro. Dragonfire, two Duskbreakers, and two Doomsayers give tons of board clear options. The only thing I'm considering is switching a Netherspite Historian for a Glimmerroot.

I play a Hunter deck sometimes with secrets + spellstone and cheap beasts, but when I don't have a good starting hand and a good curve in the first few rounds I hit a wall fast especially against decks with good/many taunts and heals or amor gain. On stream a deck like Tempo Rogue seems to be more stable in that regard.
Maybe I should still rather play wih my Control Mage deck or craft the few missing epics for Spiteful Priest.

If you need the dust, then dust it. Otherwise, wait until you need it, or the ideal situation arises.
How many cards are you playing. I did 15. Won on turn 5 with a bunch of power overwhelming lol.
I'm kind of surprised I don't see Dirty Rat much anymore given all the cheats and trickery from battlecries, and the Priests that hang on to Velen until the last minute. I put one in my Spiteful Priest deck and it's worked out for me so far. Rat -> Doomsayer or Rat -> silence is so good.

This weasel deck is ridiculous fun. I hate how priests get all the annoying as fuck decks. This shit is especially fun against jade druid and Razakus. Really hope I don't face this shit any time soon. Goddamn.
I posted it a few posts up. Potatoman posted another variant
