Seems like overall a pretty mid-to-high level expansion, is as tradition for the last expac of a year.

Definitely not with the monetization model of Artifact and probably not with their complexity and references to DOTA, which I strongly dislike.
I dropped $5 on Magic Arena and pretty much entirely switched Hearthstone to that. I'll probably just play that occasionally, maybe with some isolated KeyForge or Destiny.
Kobolds and Gadgetzan pushed the bullshit to new levels, and they were the las expansions of the year, I can already see some problematic cards here, but fortunately none seem to be as busted
Same, pretty much sticking to MTG:A and Hearthstone, can't afford to play three or more CGs at once.
Yeah, seems they may have toned it down a bit this time vs the other two.
I don't care for the monetization since it offers free drafts. So for me Artifact is buy to play and maybe get into the rest eventually
that's what the wording looks like, but I have heard rumors that it does in fact draw you copies. like I said, i'll believe it when I see it.
That's the interesting part for me. how much could I enjoy the game by just playing in the free modes. because buying cards seems like a big no for me. I mean, a tier 1 deck is about $110 rn.
It's worst when they add nerfed cards. I can't believe they let Aviana after the nerfs, it's so bad lol
It's a fact that no copies are a possibility with the card. Ignore rumors, this is a confirmed fact even though the card itself doesn't mention copies.
After seeing all the cards, I don't see what deckbuilding innovation there is to have. When it's just a billion variations of very generic stat buffs, there's not exactly much to do but to test which cards are generically the best.
But I think you could straight up buy a complete collection from the marketplace for less than $100 right now.

do quest spells hit on gadgetzan auctioneer? I was thinking of using halazzi with the hunter quest and mulliganing the quest every game
there's a lot of gadgetzan auctioneer synergy in this expansion in general, esp with thaus in wild

waitaminute would zuljin's spells hit on gadgetzan auctioneer? I feel like they would? but also wouldn't be surprised if they wouldn't because it doesn't say 'you' are casting the spells, kinda curious about that interaction not that it would happen often
Got it on my second try. We got great value from millhouse and Savage roar.
Thanks. I should be good though.
Not sure why it's taking me so long with this one. I've beaten this same tavern brawl before usually in the first 2 tries.
The decks in this one must just be crappier.
im gonna make a good deck with ornery tortoise, a 3 mana 3/5 on curve waiting for houndmaster is just juicy, lot of new beast toys to play with
Yeah same hard no on the buying cards part I do that in paper mtg plenty and am not cool w/ it digitally. Especially w/ how scummy valve is.
I only care about playing constructed and seems like constructed in artifact is very limited and expensive at this point. Maybe later.
------------
This set has some interesting cards. I think mage/shaman will be good. Paladin has potential.
The tribes seems really weak though, both dragons and pirates are half baked at best.
Rogue cards are fairly mediocre other than the draw spell. I think the weapon is good too but seems difficult to use. Giving your spider rush seems strong.
There is quite a bit of cards worth testing.

Paladin has lots of potential new archetypes and after 3 weeks it will all be the same even and odd.
I think the cannon spell has a lot of potential even though pirates don't seem good.
You don't need to play a pirate deck, you only need to have a pirate activator. The 2 drop that gives you a 1/1 is enough. The card scales insanely with spell damage btw. So if you play the pirate and attack, you have 9 damage from hand already. If you have spell damage+2, it's 15. That's a lot of damage to close a game, allowing you to use your eviscerates more freely. I like to build a deck around this concept for rogue just like oil rogue was. You control a bit, gain board then huge damage. It's very fun.
There is a 2 drop spell damage +2 if damaged. Say maybe if you give it rush with your weapon it can be just spelldamage +2 for 2, it's hard to use and it has a lot of counterplay though. You can backstab it of course.

I haven't heard one good comment about artifact constructed. But my thoughts are it's good to wait to let the meta get figured out somewhat, rather than spending too much money on cards that might end up being worth less in a month. Unless you're trying to profit off card sales I guess.
I've been having fun with arena lately. I wouldn't mind if they picked up a thing or two from artifact drafts though.

15th time was the charm. Hardest 40 dust I've ever made in this game.
Draft seems like the best mode at the moment. Fortunately the card prices seem pretty low so it seems like it won't be too expensive to get a decent deck.
Buying single cards instead of packs definitely seems the way to go. The average value of most packs is below $2.

For what it's worth, experiences apparently differ: The first time playing with a random good partner, we got the boss down to 2 HP and it was a good time.
Attempts 2 and 3 were decent partners, but not as close.
Attempts 4 was close again, and attempt 5 was a good game where I won! Overall it was a decently fun challenge. Game 5 was the only one where I ever saw the "1 damage at a time" minion die, so most games just come down to whether you can keep the druid alive long enough.
Yeah, the brawl is pretty awful. Just died on turn 6 this game, I mean what are you supposed to do.
It's pretty straightforward once you see the cards available. Ramp as early as possible if you have the ramp cards. When the mage 1-damage-limit creature comes out, try to protect it by keeping bigger creatures around and a decent-sized board if possible.
If you have a combo with double battlecry etc. it may be worth saving them for a turn or two so you can guarantee it and maximize the healing, especially to protect the druid.
Don't play 7 creatures since that seems to get auto-wiped.
Let me know if you need help finishing and I'll try to add you as a friend.
Appreciate the offer, managed to get a string of good luck and finished my Tavern Brawl quest so that's it for me. I just wish it wasn't so luck based as the mulligan and first few turns pretty much determine whether you'll even have a chance.
So I'm guessing we're expecting the big pre-expansion patch today? Given the pre-release events tomorrow. Should be good.
oh that's right, we should have the patch today, soon probably since china should be in Nov 30th in like 30 minutes.

Esports changes (new format - not yet revealed but conquest is RIP)

So this shows exactly how Mass Hysteria will function. This seems really good, no doubt this'll see some kind of play.
Reflect in game experience?
I can guess what they are doing, instead of 4 decks you bring one deck, just like how you play on ladder and play bo3.... this can work if they introduce sideboards to hearthstone. That would be a game changer. Current conquest format is just rock paper scissors of who ends up lining up their deck against what. Now if you have one deck and strategy with a sideboard that's a whole different game and much more fun as proven by Magic. All the tech cards and similar will actually make sense to add to the game.
Maybe that's why they delayed tournament mode, from the pictures it had conquest and whatever and that's already obsolete.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
EVERY FUCKING TIME I PLAY PALADIN AND SOMEONE STEALS A CLASS CARD IT"S THE MOTHERFUCKING
AND THIS FUCKER SITS BEHIND THEIR TAUNTED FUCKS HEALING THEIR HERO UP
WHY BLIZZO

I really hope this is what they do (the sideboard, that is). It would make competitive HS watchable again.
Fuck yeah, Christmas things are my jam. Already rocking the OG Winter Veil cardback for the month :P
Also, should we rename this thread back to a general title, or are we making a new Rumble thread? I feel like it might be better to just rename this to a general Hearthstone community thread, given it's not as active as it used to be.
For people interested in using amazon coins, the coinstoppable promo is back, this time for 25% off.
so, basically, $100 in Amazon currency for $75, that currency can be used exactly the same in HS. The coins make it even more flexible since multiple amazon accounts can be used on the same blizz account, so you can buy thing on HS from different amazon accounts.
On this case I had an account ready to get the coins (only new accounts can use this promo)

I'm tempted to do the pre-order but I feel kind of burned by Boomsday. I was excited for that expansion but once I actually had some cards it seemed like the decks I was playing didn't change much. I haven't looked at all the revealed cards but the ones I've seen haven't looked too cool either. I'll probably wait and see.
I caved and got Artifact too when I was originally thinking that I'd wait. It'll be more interesting to compare Hearthstone/Artifact once the market settles. I'm not entirely sold either on paying "tickets" to do any of the competitive modes but at least you can play any of the casual ones for free.

I'm sure this will happen in the same way it usually does:
At first, the meta will be dominated by the same decks as before (possibly including a few new cards).
People will try to make new decks work, but they won't.
Eventually, a few new decks will be discovered. People will jump on these because they are bored by the old decks.
Then the old decks will come back anyway (with a few modifications) because they were still good all along.
Only rotation (or a set as bonkers as MSOG) can stop this train.
Whizzbang is currently bugged and is letting you play with the new decks.
OMG yes!!! I wish I had the patch already, that seems so fun
