I'm a terrible uncle, when my nephews wanted to play stuff like that I said "Call me when you learn how to play magic."

Yugioh was pretty fun back in the day and by fun I mean constructing trap decks solely to piss off opponents and occasionally winning.

If they do, they would only be copying a planned feature of Hex  (the entire pve side of Hex is designed to appeal to the WoW players of the world, complete with dungeons, raids, rare equipment, character leveling, etc) (Course, they could not do the pve side of their game at all and it wouldn't matter to me) |

If they do, they would only be copying a feature from their own WoW card game. Which, incidentally, happened to be developed from Cryptozoic too If anything, Blizzard and Cryptozoic share the paternity of that. |

That was my point. The pvp is fine of this game, but the killer application would be to tie it back to WoW with cards that unlocked vanity items in your account, and have those come off raid bosses. Arena draft the cards, and get to boss hunting with your Hearthstone LFR.

More hardcore would be Hearthstone cards coming from WoW Raiding!  |

Wow raiding stopped being hardcore a while ago, now it's just a chore.

I just played a mage deck where they played 4 blizzards. Who knows how many they actually had. WTF.
edit: actually might have been 5. I fucking lost count.

Is it a bug or a cheat? You can only have 3 of a card, max unless they changed that. |

It's actually 2 max in any constructed deck (1 for legendaries). In arena, you can bypass that limitation if the RNG gods smile upon you. It can make for some total bullshit. Still, I could have won that, but when I put out a Senjin Shieldmasta to buy me another round, he pulled out a Black Knight. I wish there was an emote for "your deck is bullshit" or "ohh, the humanity".

It's the same in Magic. But in Magic it's fine. Here it's absurd. |

Nope. As many as you can get. When I won a Rise of the Eldrazi grand prix trial, I had 5 staggershocks and Olivia Voldaren. (lol)

Huh, wow. I mean, I don't think I ever pulled 5 or more of one card that I'd actually want 5 or more of in my deck during a sealed tournament. But I always built my decks under the assumption normal rules applied.  |

But I always built my decks under the assumption normal rules applied. Another big change is you can really go nuts with side boarding in limited. You could play a completely different deck with more cards in it every round if you could change it quick enough. |

Well yeah if you get to play with an Innistrad card that might be an advantage.  (I assume you mean Drana) |

There really need to be a "hurry the fuck up and play your cards" emote.  Game is officially live. Whatever that means now. |

It means the legendary nerfs begin.  I don't know. Part of me wants a hurry up emote. Part of me giggles when they start trying to move during the dynamite timer and clearly fuck it up. |

I want the timer to be faster. There is no reason a turn in this game should take more than 20s.

Agreed. They need to hurry this shit up. If you let the dynamite timer run out 3 times in one game it should be an auto loss. Also an insta-ban for your account. Fuuuuuuuuu

I guarantee that's a strategy for some people to bore you into quitting. Which is honestly griefing and Blizzard needs to put a stop to it.

You have to think of the late game when big plays are being calculated. I generally play extremely quickly, but I still have run down the clock on the swing turn when you are figuring out what your best plays are against a full board/can I kill him this turn?/can I survive this?/what are my most advantageous trades. I've never run into too many people that just delay in the hopes of a forfeit. Then again, barely played the last couple weeks. Burned out very, very fast on this and have no desire to grind up the gold for another arena run. |

Yeah, I'll burn the wick once a game roughly. The timer for one turn isn't bad, but there needs to be a rolling counter so it can't happen on multiple turns.

I don't mind the timer being longer on later turns. There's no reason it should be longer than 15s on turn 1 or 2.

Only if it completely runs out without you doing anything. If you made a last second timer move that went through, you get a brand new timer. Some paladin today afk'd for the rest of the game at around turn 3 or 4. I couldn't draw a high damage minion to save my life. It took around 5 turns to finish him off, each having to wait for the fuse to burn. After 2 non-plays it should just end the game.
I had a warlock demonfire his Knife Juggler in an arena game today. Poor fella rage quit 3 turns later.
