I like Gwent from Witcher 3. I'll probably play some Gwent when it's fully released. But it's not nearly as much of an interactive game as Hearthstone, even if Hearthstone has a lot of RNG.

In other words, I have paid money for Hearthstone cards, because it's cheaper to build a deck in Hearthstone than in, say, MtG, and the cards feel like they're doing something unique and significant. Gwent is literally a counting game.

By the way, I've had the 80g quest for a couple days, looking to complete it. Someone need another pack?

I've been impressed by a couple cards so far, but as a Paladin main, I'm pretty interested in that new Arthas Menethil portrait.

Here's the list of cards currently revealed, it updates over time with any new ones. There's a live stream tonight of a bunch of cards not yet seen, but I don't think it's going to be all of them. It could be, though, since they started revealing cards way before deadline.

http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards?filter-premium=1&filter-set=109&filter-unreleased=1&display=3

The new Hero Cards get new Hero Powers, btw. Of the currently revealed two, Hunter's is basically "discover two beasts that cost (5) or less and combine them," which adds the minion to your hand, and the hero power costs 2, so, it's whatever. The Mage Hero Power hasn't been revealed yet, which is pretty frustrating, and the leak came from some obscure app, so who knows if it's real anyway.

I'm excited for the Wild Fatigue Druid with N'Zoth + Hadronox and all the Taunt+Deathrattle minions in Wild.

I'm playing some super degenerate Pirate Warrior and twice in a row my opponent conceded on their first turn. Woah. I must be super good!

Yeah, I know. :-\

Tbh it's not that exciting so far, it's mostly a punch in the gut to everyone who wanted a Death Knight, or any other new class. Like me, who spent like a year making a DK class, haha. Oh god... At least this deck looks cool, haha.

New expansion is pretty boring tbh. There's only like 2-5 useful weapons atm, only 2 of them being actually significant so far. Kingsbane Rogue is kinda fun, been trying to make it work. King Togwaggle + Explore Un'Goro + Skulking Geist has been a really fun combo when it actually works. I'm hoping to get that new Warlock demon and weapon, Master Oakheart, and a pair of Carnivorous Cubes for this wacky Control Warlock that uses a Doomguard + Spiritsinger Umbra + Carnivorous Cube + Dark Pact combo for like 25 burst over two turns. Also Oakheart is surprisingly sick. A turn nine 5/5 that battlecry summons a 3/9 taunt that summons three 1/3 taunts when it dies, a 1/5 or 1/7 that becomes a 3/5 or 4/7 on your opponents turn, and a 2/4 or 2/6 taunt is preeeetty good. Also Rin is fun. Control Warlock is happy, Miracle Rogue is looking alright, but the rotation next xpac is taking out Whispers of the Old Gods, Karazhan, and Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, which kinda ruins all the good decks right now, lol. Maybe it'll be better with a fresh slate but damn is Hearthstone getting expensive af.

Yeah, I'm glad the Magic community around me is pretty active and has mostly chill people because I enjoy card games but Hearthstone is getting really slow and expensive. I'm sure it'll pick up like all hell the next couple of sets though. WotoG's meta is so memorable because it was the freshest experience since launch, I'm sure they've got plans. It won't be AS fresh as Whispers' Launch though, just by card pool.

Still, the price is too high for a card game that offers 0% return because if Blizzard finds out you sold your account they'll ASAP lock it indefinitely. At least with Magic you can sell your cards for a percentage of what they were worth, or in some cases, for WAY more than you got them for. Look at Karn Liberated, a card that was under $10 a few years back and is now easily $65+. Not to mention original Moxes and split lands and shit, but those aint even real.

Yeah, it is pretty ludicrous actually. >$1 per pack is kinda really stupid. I'd be more tempted to spend $50 every expansion if it gets me like 80-120 packs than 40 or 50 or whatever the promo is.

Unfortunately it's one of those games funded by micro buyers who spend a couple bucks every now and again but very consistently, and people who buy several dozens or hundreds of dollars on packs every set. There's a Druid deck for Wild that I designed but don't have the dust for, I'm like 11k off. It looks really fucking fun, and not terrible, but I'll just never get to afford it, and that sucks.
