thanks for existing in other channels

What are you doing here, Kripparino? Are you lost?

lordnichard I think so, do you have directions to Kripps channel or stream? Either will do

My jaws that bite My claw that catches I'm so damn slow You probably miss Patches.

My jaws that bite. My claws that catch. My deck popularity is going down the hatch.

*I WANT YOU, AND YOU, AND YOU!* I Miss Shudderwock, I hate Post Boomsday Rogue

my jaws that bite my claws that catch odd paladin and shudderwock are gone with the newest patch :)

My jaws that... I don't make mistakes, I bury dem.

Oof

Romeo Casido sheep incoming

It will be hard to accomplish because people will have the same idea and you dont want to win , but you did

And your opponent would simply hex it and bite it with his jaws and catch it with his claws

Just imagine you conceded 598 times in a row and then you run into someone trying the same thing but he concedes faster and resets your 599/599 to a 1/1 Feelsbadman

Just concede against Bots! Rank 1 legend EZ

lol

nerdlish random chance?

Supposedly they're supposed to be all rounder. Good at a lot but not great in one. Got this from the hearthstone website btw

It's just Blizzard making terrible Totem cards, realizing they suck, and giving Shaman insane RNG and 4 mana 7/7. Seriously though, I think they're trying to develop Elemental and Battlecry shammy right now and some healing on the side. Token shaman's been semi-viable in most years but barely has any support.

Spencer Lu also murlocs.... for some reason.

Nothing screams Shamanistic more than tentacles and abhorrent evolutions, right?

Perverted_Fangirl2158 Brode has left Blizzard to start up his own games making company. I suppose he thinks he’s ready for new challenges and a purpose in life beyond one game

@Perverted_Fangirl2158 I'm not sure what will happen to Brode. He might be very creative and thrive on having creative freedom. Or he might be doing this to get a bit more experience of running a company so that he can re-join Blizzard at an even higher level - CEO? Alternatively, it might go badly and then all bets are off! It's amazing to think that he started his career as a night-time play-tester for WoW!

Something something congruencey something something showing palms

Well met... my name is Ben Brode.

MajkaSrajka dumb. Comment.

Dumb comment? On the internet? Impossible!

I guess nobody *catched* on. You could say he *clawed* his way into this expansion. I don't think they're gonna *Bite* the bullet here, and remove him. Edit: My *Jaw* hurts after someone punched me in the face for this stupid comment.

It was a *battle* reading your puns. I think I might *cry*

Because it’s not that good.

Wow all these puns are making me *shudder* at the thought of this many puns imagine if someone *repeated* them all

Reno was used as an example of interesting card mechanics, when Brode mentioned building decks with 30 different cards.

Giving Reno echo is the most pointless thing. 1. His effect gains no benefit from echo. 2. His cost is 6, so you couldn't play any further copies. 3. His stats are already terrible, with the stat-reduction he'd receive from Echo he wouldn't be worth playing multiple times a turn.

It sounds like they are, since Shatter is a real card already.

EVERYONE GET IN HERE

Brian Kibler from Omni/ suggested that idea in his video of why the Classic set is a problem in HS. It’s solid and I support it. Take a leaf from MTG’s book and do a short season or special mode where certain key cards that were deck-defining are back in the meta.

I want draconic operative back xD

Wow, this think actually appended with Halloween

I reaĺly miss your Warcraft secrets series :(

Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!

Erppi7 I thought he says SPAGHETTE

I'm pretty sure they made Snap freeze so if it succeeds as a card in these years they will include Shatter, if it fails, they include Snap into the Classic set. In this way they can be sure that the inclusion will get the right card.

actually if you put snap freeze into your deck you also want shatter too since you can play snap freeze and then shatter

Except that Shatter is an Old Gods card, so in Standard you definitely can not put it in your deck.

was it? well since card never (and literally never) seen play I forgot when it was added XD

I actually had to check before comment, because me too :D Like, "Did it really rotated or I'm just not using it at all?"But whatever, having +10 dust with that reminder :D

Rorther use that to chew a massive kings bane lol

Rorther how much would it cost?

Lucas nada mas 4

I would price it at 3 or 4 mana, depending on how competitive you want it to be. I think that most of the time it won't have more than two or three health, so making it five mana seems kind of expensive.

Cronotosaur H. Actually 3 mana is ok: not always you play a ooze to destroy the opponent's weapon, and against a deck which doesn't run weapons, playing a 1-1 for more than 3 is just not worth. Anyway they should add also something to SILENCE a weapon.

Purify(worst card design ever) says hi

what's with Lord Godfrey? It's a playable legendary, neither op nor terrible.

: )

I think I've gone against one Godfrey since Witchwood came out. Great card but doesn't really need to be shoved into Cube.

*Infinite Shudderwock PTSD Intensifies*

Jotarun Lin JOTAROOOOO

Jotarun Lin a cult disliking all videos on Brode without any iconic laughs

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA there you go

Did he run out of cards?

Underrated comment :)

MALEMization I NEED HEALING

Joey Harder Money.

Randy B. K. Where do they get money with such a small channel?

Joey Harder Bunch of hookers and cocaine.

It has a small sub count because their content is very unreliable. You know it's gonna be a different person on a different topic each time, so there's no point in subbing. But Ars Technica itself is some other organization with the power to get people.

Joey Harder Ars Technica small? Are you high?

It is, treasure it.

money

It's not. You're guaranteed 40 dust per pack at minimum, meaning you can get any two rares every five packs or any epic every ten packs before considering the extra rares, epics and legendaries opened along the way. That's a perfectly reasonable rate for a system that is meant to solve the problem of opening duplicates, it just seems low because you're probably expecting to get every card you want for free.

Cyan Light or you just don’t want to spend 240$ a year just to have all the cards

Then don't pay. You can have some of the stuff for free, half the stuff for a little bit of money or almost all of the stuff for not that much. Nobody is going to force you into any of those options but I don't understand why you think you should be entitled to combine the best aspects of the two extremes with none of the downsides. How would that even be a functional business model? The game would fail within five years even with the backing of a massive company like Blizzard to keep it afloat at a loss. There has to be some reason to actually buy packs and I've yet to hear anyone asking for more free stuff give a good reason for it other than "I want it, so I should get it." *For example, I spent $50 on The Witchwood and already have basically all of the cards I wanted due to the preorder being larger and having four month to save gold. That's crazy cheap by CCG standards.

Cyan Light do you honestly think it is ok to get 400 dust from a legendary?

Javyz they actually tested and came up with the same combo during development soooo

Dead Inside no :( Ben is awesome guy, sad to see him leave. Btw I commented before seeing the news.

He went to jail, but managed to appeal in the end. XD

Thijs and his "meta breakers" hahaha

MY JAWS THAT BITE MY CLAWS THAT CATCH

THIS so much XD I was thinking of toast every time he said "some players....."

Jorge Scarella thijs is trash

I think it is possible to buy them in blizzard e-shop: eu.shop.battle.net/en-gb/family/hearthstone

That's too bad, cause he JUST left Blizzard.

Peter Universe Agreed.

Ben has a phobia of cats

Peter Universe did you see the latest combos he literally may be sal

Connor Griffin same here. If we have nozdormu we can have worldflipper

Connor Griffin is phone users would be advantageous.

Insignia not at all, in phones, hearthstone auto switches the screen when you flip the phone around.

Voltus 20 on certain phones you can lock auto rotation

Hiruko Kagetane i can lock auto rotation on my phone and hearthstone ignores it, still rotates, tested it in a couple of different phones i have. Can you tell me a specific brand where it doesn't do it? Im courious now xD

Alvin Cornelius Wait what

Yeah wat???!!

aquamsheep 24 he left blizzard

Making his own company apparently and they are gonna make "games"

D:

Rico O' Rourke They really should do same thing for epics as they did with legendaries that you won't get more than you can play, it would help with getting epics you need.

they've increased the legendary rate several times and made a guaranteed legendary in first 10 packs plus cut out dupes....That's pretty solid, do you just want all the plebs to get free cards?

john sims Yes.

Ideally we'd get all the cards for free and then we'd buy golden card packs instead.

They've done it several times now so you're guaranteed to get two free legendaries on day one of any expansion, they've increased quest rewards, they give you a free pack every week from brawl and yet you keep complaining it's not enough. When will it honestly be enough? When you get everything? Do you spend any money at all on this game? If not, why should you have everything? If yes, are you remembering to actually complete all of your quests and brawls to supplement that? I spent exactly $50 on the new expansion, only getting the preorder (which they also increased the size of by nearly 50% from previous preorders), and I already have almost every card I wanted due to saving gold and dust since the last one. A couple hundred dollars a year is an insane value for a CCG like this, if this were Magic that would barely be enough for a deck or two. If you don't want to invest in the game fine but frankly if you can't even be bothered to drop $50-100 a few times a year then I don't think you should have all of the cards and I don't understand why you think you should either. The entitlement of F2P players is getting ridiculous.

furkan kaçar He wanted to make his own company.
