Leeroy, Alexstrasza, and Malygos could all use a removal in my opinion

Not sure if I buy into the prediction that Northshire is getting rotated. Sure she's basically auto-include in every priest deck but is she really overpowered or limiting design choices? You might as well remove cards like eviscerate and explosive trap (and about 20 more) if we're looking at balanced auto-include cards now.

The article only mentioned that Velen is getting HOF but it seems likely that divine spirit and inner fire are gone too. Probably have to wait until tomorrow until we know for sure.

Is anyone trying to avoid spoilers? I can't imagine anyone in this topic really cares about spoilers actually.

Also RIP Velen too, he's Hall of Fame'd

Here's a link to the new cards if that article isn't working anymore:

New Class: Demon Hunter. 1 mana give +1 attack, seems to work on minions and on hero? Don't know if it's permanent or if it only lasts for 1 turn or what

This article doesn't touch on it but I'm predicting a complete UI overhaul along with new requested modes like tournaments. If they're ever going to redesign the game then now would be the time to do it!

Here's an archived version of the article if anyone wants to get spolied

in spoiler tags because the link itself is a spoiler.

This is big news but I don't know if it's "decade cementing" like some of the streamers were saying. Maybe there's more coming?

Wow these battleground distributions:

<5000: 62% of Players
5500: Top 20%
6000: Top 10%
6500: Top 3%
7000: Top 1%
8000: Top 0.1%
8700: Top 0.01%

I wasn't too happy with hovering between 6500 and 7k but maybe I should be!

Playing a bit more lately than normal, bought the adventure with gold and crafted a Reno Poof Mage deck. Aggro Druid is an archetype now?

That's weird

Is there anything worse than finally getting a Megasaur in battlegrounds and then seeing:

+3 Attack
+3 Health
+ Taunt

---

skull

Just went out in 7th place with two 70/70 demons. I lost to a 75/75 demon. I guess that's the risk of spending all of your health to buff your cards but it still doesn't feel good.

Every deck is unfun to play against

My point exactly! Other competitive games I can alter how I'm playing to fit the situation. With Hearthstone I just hope my opponent doesn't counter everything I'm doing and shrug.

That quest priest deck reminds me of why I quit playing Hearthstone in the first place. So many decks are just completely unfun to play against.

Yeah the movie introduces the main character of the Clone Wars, just treat it like the first 3 episodes. Also just get through the first season, show really picks up after that.

The LR Baby medal grind wasn't actually that bad. You need 12 GT Goten, GT Gohan, and GT Trunks but there's an event that has a guaranteed drop for all 3. Only had to run that 12 times and fresh LR Baby!

Poison is infinite attack though

But divine shield is infinite defense.

Battlegrounds: Selfless Heros Deathrattle will now only affect minions that do not already have Divine Shield.

Jesus christ. Glad to see they're mixing up the divine shield deathrattle meta

Queen Wagtoggle:
Wax Warband: Give a random friendly Mech, Demon, Murloc and Beast +2 Attack. (instead of +1 Health)

Also wow Wagtoggle went from the worst hero in the game to maybe top 3 I'm thinking. Attack is way better than health, especially in the early game, and ESPECIALLY in the divine shield meta.

Pretty good start! You have enough SSRs that you can start ignoring SRs now. Also start locking those good cards so you don't accidentally sell them!

Which LR are you hoping to get a copy of?

Hey I'm about to hit day 800 today or tomorrow! I'd probably be at 1600 myself if I didn't quit playing and come back. I doubt my box would be better if I stuck it out though.

Finished my last round and got AGL Baby. Pretty surprised to get 3 new LRs out of this banner honestly but I'm glad!

Also wow these medals for LR Baby SUCK

Episode 9 could have easily been two movies

if episode 8 didn't exist

Yeah I'm feeling the opposite, in a good way, about LR FP Freiza. Everyone seemed to shit on him when he was released but he's hitting around 2.4 million with no passive activated on a Freiza team. Why did everyone say this card was bad?

---

skull

Really don't know what I'm doing wrong in Battlegrounds now. There weren't any balance changes or anything but it seems like everyone either has giant beasts or giant demons by turn 6 now. Don't think I've finished top 4 in my last 15 games.

I was at 7250 MMR for Battlegrounds and now I'm at 6600. Really don't know what happened there lol

40 stones in your box for top grossing

Finished my 2nd round and got STR LR Broly! Two new LRs and a dupe for TEQ Broly not bad after 2 rounds. If we manage to get to 80 stones before the end of the month I might even buy enough for a third round.

On the other side of the coin I love when you get temporary party members in RPGS and they're completely broken. There's something satisfying about your AI level 50 party member completely demolishing the level 12 enemies you're fighting.

I can now confirm what I previously suspected, the last screen of Ch 9 isn't all that hard when you've beaten it once and your nerves are no longer shot.

(Which is not to say that Ch 9 doesn't get insanely hard, because it certainly does.)

Yes this is true. Honestly the only truly challenging part of the last screen is the end and it's not even that bad. I think the true difficulty just comes from how long it is. You have to go through the first 2-3 minutes to even get a shot at the ending.

I think the secret final screen of Chapter 9 is a little harder

I'll be lucky if I get to the first step 5 tbh. I'm about 10 away from step 3.

I imagine we'll get a new battlefield before the banner is up, plus I'll have however many coming in from getting to rank 400 (i'm almost to 399), still have a bit of story stuff to do and the new year's missions to complete, so we'll see.

99% sure we'll get an EZA during soon also which will be at least 30 stones. The part 1 missions have "Complete EZA Stages" and that only happens if we're getting a new EZA.

Started my 2nd round on the banner:

Step 1: PHY Super Vegito, TEQ Beerus
Step 2: LR TEQ Broly (first dupe), STR Janemba
Step 3: AGL Gogeta

Sitting at 35 stones so I'm sure I'll have enough to finish by the end of the month. I can't believe I blew my stones on the Christmas banner instead of saving for NYE. Hopefully I don't make the same mistake next year!

I think it's clear you need someone like Kevin Feige to make it work like the MCU

Yeah and his name is Dave Filoni

TEQ Broly is one of my favorite cards in the game. I usually use his team for farming dokkan events because his active skill completely obliterates an entire phase of most fights.

---

skull

Step 1: TEQ SSB Vegeta, TEQ Golden Freiza
Step 2: TEQ SSJ3 Goku
Step 3: PHY Super Vegito (first new card)
Step 4: PHY Omega Shenron
Step 5: Great Ape Shugesh blessed me, LR Gokuza!

At this point it's pretty hard for me to get new cards so getting PHY Vegito would have been good enough but getting LR Gokuza is probably the best one on the banner.

Bit of a bummer I blew the stones I had saved finishing the rounds on the other banner. I've only got about 35 saved for this banner.

Assuming I could play online or against other people then Street Fighter.

Today is also the last free game and the last day to use this $10 coupon so if you were waiting to buy anything today would be the day to do it!

Wasn't sure if they were going to keep giving away games in 2020 but it looks like they are! I'm guessing that's Darksiders 2 and Steep for the week of Jan 1st to 9th.

Captain America trilogy

Play Heroes of the Storm. Games are only about 15-20 minutes so you don't feel as bad if you spend time in a loss. There's no items and EXP is shared between everyone so it's pretty casual. Scratches the DOTA itch without feeling like you're spending 2 hours on one game sometimes.

If I wasn't a trophy hunter I wouldn't even bother after beating the game to go do everything its that pointless.

If traversing the world was more enjoyable I think I would have gotten all of the chests but not having a way to fast travel or even a "Return to Ship" button makes it way too much of a chore.

Hey I've been hovering around 6800 MMR myself lately! I keep trying to force beasts/demons and then getting fucked. I've been trying more to transition during the mid game but it's so hard when it feels like you're basically starting over on the 7th or 8th turn.

Prime Battle Cell coming on New Years, Piccolo and Nail on the 5th. Bummer they give Piccolo the post NYE death slot but somebody had to get it I guess.

Yeah I really could not grasp the jumping out of space bubbles I think. Looking over a replay of the level I'm not really sure how I died so many times either.

3C, 7C, and 8C are the worst C sides. Level 9 is about on the same level. Here were my deaths and playtimes before level 9 came out
