Beautiful work boys. I forgot to make a whole thread about it but i wanted to say the journal thing is such such such such a good step in the right direction. It will hopefully stay and i can tell it’ll grow into something possibly interactive and fleshed out.
Any and every touch up / addition to the ui and the home screen and anything clickable outside of being in a game itself (or darkmoon) is very appreciated by the players. Think, match history tab, profile tab, something that really makes us feel like we ourselves opened the hearth box with the dwarf in the inn!
I also see the lean into diabloesque art here so i’m excited for next expansions diablo crossover ;)))

TLDR: Assemble is unbalanced and really RNG heavy
Having now finally played with the new cards I must say, I HATE ASSEMBLE, the amount of times I’ve already had to face some BS cheap minion with “end of turn do something really strong” is insane.
Meanwhile I’ve now gotten both a 8 and a 10 cost minion where I had to nerf the minion, having to make the “10/10 Runaway Blackwing: At the end of your turn deal 10 damage to a random enemy minion” into a one time 10 damage (deathrattle or battlecry instead of end of turn) or end of turn do this low mana cost minion effect sucked A LOT
And unless Assemble get’s fundamentally reworked then it’s going to suck for multiple seasons, I don’t mind a little RNG but some of these assembly results are BS
4 mana Hourglass Attendant with Divine Shield At the end of your turn “Restore 8 Health to all friendly characters” (from Lightshower Elemental) is insanity.
And yes that’s not gonna be every game… but it doesn’t have to happen a lot for frustration to build up, I’m already done with this expansion and it “hasn’t even really started yet”
It just feels like I’m wasting my time when the opponent isn’t even trying and just rolls the dice on an assembly and hocus pocus they got a game winning minion.
I don’t know what the numbers should be, but you could in theory get a Flame Imp with a Battlecry “insert 8+ cost effect” and a 1 cost SHOULD NOT STILL COST 1 when it has a gamechanger attached to it, not without some mayor ground work, but right now you could get it from playing a 2 mana spell that ALSO summons two 0/3 taunts.
