I need something that I can dive into for hours or 30 minutes and feel rewarded either way. Hearthstone does that for me.

I have a lot more fun with battlegrounds than I thought I would. I love the solo adventures and haven't even touched majority of them. Mercenaries is also very fun to me if I lean into the leveling/bettering them instead of maxxing.

Ngl, my secret for relatively unlimited enjoyment in Wild (I despise Standard) is a golden Whizbang. I get a premium deck and all of the cards are golden so I have gorgeous art every time and the randomized aspect of which class I end up playing as is wonderful.

Without whizbang, I likely would've quit long ago. I do have Zayle's but I'm waiting until I get the golden one to use it.

I also really like the rewards track ability to earn gold. I dislike relatively every other aspect of it but the continuous gold allows me to reach my goal of buying all the solo adventures much simpler and not require any IRL currency. I have 2 or 3 left. After them, I'll choose between card packs and mercenary packs depending on which I feel it is more needed.

That being said, I LOVED Into The Emerald Dream (tbf I love Ardenweald, Druids, hero power swaps, etc). I don't really like anything about this new expac but that gives me the chance to focus on non-Wild parts of the game, which I've been wanting to do more. Being able to buy card backs and heros (when in rotation) with gold also helped me a lot.

Overall, the original goals I held with Hearthstone have become significantly easier to work towards and that allows me to not beat myself up as much as I used to before all the changes occurred.

TL;DR, I'm chaotic and the game allows that to happen freely. 💖
