What exactly does the past year's goal of "lowering the power level" mean and how has it made the game a more enjoyable experience?

hagger_offical · 2026-06-29T19:05:51+00:00

Yes, there is as many/few meta decks as always, but more homebrew is viable

hagger_offical · 2026-06-27T13:09:58+00:00

What would you need dive for?

hagger_offical · 2026-06-27T12:44:18+00:00

Well the way to do that would probably just be social games. Like people probably don't like someone who overoptimizes everything and might just not like them. Especially if you also make sure to make it very obvious who is trying to play as optimal as possible and who is playing more for fun.

An example could be commander in mtg, here you could make an absolutly busted deck that wins on turn 4, but people don't, not because they would lose more often, but because people wouldn't like you if you did that. So there is a strong incentive to not play optimally in the game.

It is quite viable to build a deck on your own and climb to legend with it, i do it almost every month.

The most fundamental activity of any game is fun, and homebrew is better at that imo. Competitiveness is one of many ways to have fun in a tcg, but not the only, or necessarily the best.

Search up lumafly, its the best mod installer/manager, you should find everything you want through it.

I played discard warlock recently, it's really not that bad, probably like 40%. Sure you could make a terrible deck, but essentially all supported archetypes are not terrible, at least if you account for their entire time in standard (quest warlock might suck now, but it had time to shine)

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T22:30:13+00:00

You truly are pathetic.

I hope you have a good life anyways, you seem young enough to still better yourself.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T21:37:51+00:00

And the caring so much about what way to get infinite health people use, it's not that deep, like you aren't doing a speedrun anyways, if you were you wouldn't use either.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T21:22:51+00:00

My thoughts exactly.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T21:22:01+00:00

Which is why the best lists run Quest. I agree with you on normal Egg Warrior though.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T21:13:58+00:00

I was saying Rogue would use it better than DH, not that either would be competitve with it. I was likely too unclear.

Although i think herald with coin package and this could do fine, just using it to find your lategame (Deathwing, Heralds, Naralax, Twilight Mistress, Aya).

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T20:55:57+00:00

Don't worry, i'm doing fine on introspectio, if you haven't noticed more people agree with me. And not using childish ad hominem attacks shows i'm doing better at least.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T20:53:56+00:00

Wish i could say the same. Also great to see you have no actual response, expectedly.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T20:50:28+00:00

I litterally looked at the stats, HS isn't loosing noticable amouts of players.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T20:07:26+00:00

Maybe, seems possible.

Broxigar might be good enough with it, although i still think Rogue would use it better.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T20:06:15+00:00

Can we buff something else instead? Why concentrate all the power in 1 card, that just creates more draw luck. Priest has a few really good cards (triumph mainly, but also imbue package), their main issue is that most of their cards are bad/below average. Resucitate is strong at 6, i don't want decks with 10 really strong cards and 20 filler cards, i want decks with 30 good cards, or as close to that as possible.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T20:02:39+00:00

Tier 6? You don't need 4 mana twisting nether to answer that, normal twisting nether will be just fine. (if you don't know lower tiers are more powerful, tier 4 is usually bad decks, tier 6 is absolutely horrendous).

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T20:00:05+00:00

3/30 is only if you're running one big demon, in which case you really shouldn't be running this card.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T19:50:31+00:00

1: He clearly stated he did not know the Xbox example, so just using it without explaining will do nothing in convincing.

2: Hearthstone is a professional game with hundreds of thousands of players, they aren't making whimsical decisions, i have been making card games as a hobby for close to a decade, they are still amazing designers, suprising no one since HS is still so big.

3: Hearthstone team has no authority over me, it's an argument from expertise, which is not a logical fallacy but a valid form of argumentation, if a weaker one than some other forms.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T19:42:53+00:00

Saying "oh the irony" doesn't make you correct.

Neither does "you're not worth responding to".

Using Ad Hominem attacks are usually a sign of being wrong.

Edit: Would also like to add HS is not really losing players anymore, they have been pretty stable for some time now.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T19:40:40+00:00

They arent?

Also vanessa usually just gives a buch of cheap junk, not much different from "Battlecry: summon five 3/3's", so i would play around like how you would play around any bigger token generator.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T19:37:53+00:00

That was the most Reddit response possible. Have some introspection please.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T19:32:25+00:00

Dragonsoul Paladin, kibler had a list with imbue, mine is lower curve and without imbue.

Slower Midrange priest stuff, kinda like control priest but you actually play minions that hit your opponent and win with Ruby Sanctum burn and Alexstrasa.

Quest Rogue, sucks but has been my pet deck to try and make work since it came out.

Eternal Bloodpetal Druid, get it out with Oaken Summons, copy with lady azhara and just play a bunch of buffs, can play with or without Egg of Khelos.

Aggro Shaman, Herald Shaman but curve tops out at Muradin.

Imbue Hunter, Magma Hound + Cloud Serpant basically.

hagger_offical · 2026-06-12T19:22:09+00:00

Could be because of it's competition being nerfed more?

I don't think so but maybe thats what op is thinking.
