First mini set i won’t be buying

The power level of this mini set is so low, i see only 1-2 cards if any getting any serious play. Only cards i am
Even interested in is the priest legendary because it fits into deathrattle priest in duels lol.

Its very clear you are just trying to force dragons into the game without any prior set up for them. You add all these dragon cards with no proper synergies for them to fit into.

Take the mage spell for example. 10 mana to discover and summon 2, on average, mediocre minions. Majority of dragons are battlecry cards so you miss out on that effect entirely. Even if you high roll and get say 2 alexstrasas. Thats 10 mana for 2 8/8. People are playing 8/8 for 0 mana nowadays lol. And with how much removal is in the game 2 8/8 is nothing. 10 mana effectively do nothing. If there were good deathrattle or taunt dragons maybe it could be decent. But again, there has been no set up for these cards to be good

Smells like another example of buy this thing now with the hope it will be good in a future expansion.

Rather than supporting some of the current archetypes that are struggling. You once again give the strongest cards to the best classes and the weakest to the worst. And force new half baked archetypes that dont have enough support to work.

Why do you think the game gets so stale??? Its because you do half a job on most ideas. You start developing ideas for a deck and then stop and start making new ideas. We started off the year with hero power mage and have had no support for it since??? Wouldnt it have been nice to maybe get another support piece for that deck. But instead you start forcing big spell mage down everyone’s throats.

But guess what??? Mage has no good big spells. So now you are having to make big spells to support that archetype. The hilarity being the big spells you do make are utter trash. Let me guess next expansion you will forget about big spell mage and start making a brand new mage deck.

I have bought every miniset for gold since they started being released. This is the first one for me that is not worth the cost at all.

I agree on the power level, but honestly you get more bang for your buck if you go ahead and purchase the miniset and dust all the cards, than try to get that dust through buying packs, to be honest.

Gonna probably buy enough packs to get the rares If the math don’t get too bad.

I play duels so will probably end up getting everything in 4-5 runs anyway. Thats 4-5 packs which will get me most of it anyway and i get majority of the gold i spend refunded for those packs.

Except the legendaries.

But they look utterly useless so im not missing out on anything.

These cards could be getting a load of support in the future. Not everything has to fit I to the metagame right now. The cards are gonna be around for a long time and even longer if you play wild. Give it a chance!

Cool. When they get i buy.

It’s not lack of money.

It’s not supporting bad content.

These cards are around for 1 year. They rotate out next april. These are the last cards of this expansion cycle. So theoretically they should be made the strongest since they are playable for the least amount of time

But quests still ruin the entire meta game and power creep any other cards that get released. Literally refuse to play standard while quests are running rampant. I play my 5 games for the card back and leave. Its not worth anymore when 60-80% of games are quest decks who win by turn 7-9

I am talking about the dust factor of buying the mini set, it is one of the better investments you can make gold wise in the game

Dusting it you lose the opprtunity to buy.

Buy for dust should be only before It gets out of the shop.

Oh yeah i get that

I have 55,000 dust though so not in any trouble on that front. Im not desperate for dust especially with rotation around the corner. Probably gonna end up with 70-80,000 dust after rotation. I might not even disenchant everything for the first time ever since i have so much dust still

And the full set for gold is much better than finding out you don’t have a card you want and having to craft it.

Edit: They are selling a full golden versions… is this a first or have I just not noticed before?

I hate golden cards and won’t be buying, but that seems like a dream come true for the biggest of whales.

Im the total opposite this is the first mini set i am buying ,i care nothing for the power level of the cards.
This time around the set has a bunch of high mana greedy cards i like to play so i got it with 2k gold.

You got your op broken bs cards last mini set its only fair players that like other types get a turn as well.

The problem with that thinking is that mini set is supposed to get meta shifts going.

Therefore It should always be broken bs time.

Thank God and all the stars you dont have a say in those matters what a horrible game Hearthstone would be.
It would no longer exist and most of its players would have left long ago.

Not saying the cards need to be op. They just need to be meta relevant and able to compete. Slow cards cant compete with how fast the meta currently is. So making a mini set with slow cards is worthless. It changes nothing in the game. So what is the point of adding them.

When the whole purpose of a mini set is to change the meta, and you introduce cards that dont do that. Its a failure of a mini set.

The most decadent year was exactly the year they tried a “powerdown”.

AKA Raven year.

There is actual data about that for who research.

The meta isn’t all that fast atm. Idk what deck you play, but I go past ten turns most games.

Sure lets ignore that all of that was because they released 2 of the most broken cards EVER in that same year GENN and BAKU.

They had to dial down the rest of the year expansions because those 2 cards alone destroyed the whole meta.
It wasnt a lack of power level that killed that year it was starting it with BROKEN BS from the get go…something you clearly want now.

Starting the year with broken bs stuff no thanks.

dragon breath is really good. the new discover dragon is great as well, dropping sleeping dragon + deathwing is no joke.
