The legendary location is basically broken beyond broken, and just for good measure add one more broken to it. This is the most broken card to ever exist, and that’s a tall order if you know Hearthstone history.
Draw 3, restore 3 mana, summon 3 cost minion, that is easily ten manas worth of effects based on current mana costs. Probably more. And this comes down turn 2? And has 3 charges? If this doesn’t immediately get destroyed it’s simply gg.
This is… This is… Ummm well we kind of knew Hearthstone was dieing, but this is like Hearthstones time of death being called, cause of death: rampant unrestrained power creep with no apparent purpose.
Yes they can cheat it out on turn 2 and use it right away
But the first use it’s only refresh 1, draw 1, gain 1 armor and summon a random 1-cost minion
Then second use it’s 2
What you described as worth 10 mana only occures on the last charge of the location
Unless bug obviously
The tempo loss it causes on 3 is almost negligible compared to Druid’s turn 4 “pass” (might as well call it pass, not much a Druid can do with 1 mana in a deck that’s sacrificing 5 turns to hopefully pop-off in 6 turns xD
And it guarantees you can play a 5-drop turn 4, it’s amazing
Well at least with the mage elemental stuff I put them in my mage elemental deck and realized that the deck was better without any of the new cards (minus that 2/2 deathrattle draw a fire spell… that was the only winner).
My suggestion of course is to play elemental mage as theres nothing broken (or really even usable) there.
If you think that’s worth 10 mana, let me tell you about this card called Ultimate Infestation that druid used to have years ago, which did similar effect but it was five of all of those effects, plus also dealing 5 damage, at 10 mana, and even that would be unplayable today.
Really? If so, please, enlighten me, then — I don’t even know what the ‘other’ spelling is even supposed to mean.
PS Alright, I suppose, that might count: https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=dieing — which more or less redirects to the usual spelling.
Sorry for this little off-topic bit, it’s just really funny sometimes what those ‘intelligent’ keyboards do. Perhaps even those old phones with physical keys and greyscale diplays weren’t as quirky with this, although sometimes they’d suggest something obscene. On my current mid-range Samsung smartphone (horrible things, those devices, btw ), I turned that ‘intelligent’ input off for good some time ago… perhaps shortly after I got it.
It’s an out-of-date term for “metalwork” and “die” is a specialized machine for doing such a work, so operating such a machine is literally dieing
The fact it’s not recognized by a few snobby dictionaries only speaks of the disconnection between the realities of the worlds in which dictionary writers and consumers live vs the ones the common people live in.
(Collins is usually what I’d recommend on these forums and what I checked myself first before even asking.)
There’s something along the lines of what you’re saying there, but only for American English, not English.
I think you meant to say ‘ordinary’, ‘common’ nowadays might have negative connotations, implying something like ‘plebs’. By the way, I’m playing such a language nitpicker now only because it’s happened to become a language (off-)topic. Anyway…
Oh, come on, please.
First, general-purpose dictionaries often do not, and probably realistically cannot, contain every specialised technical term from every field. Really, do you think they’d all know what something like a ‘Hohlraum’ (just a first random thing of the sort to come to my mind) is — or that it would be relevant to the overall majority of users? By the way, this is why technical translation can get tricky when it comes to such lingo in particular — you can’t ‘just translate that word’.
Second, you yourself said that that thing was outdated. How does this correspond to the reality in which ordinary people live, then?
You might have noticed I don’t have qualms about doing any of those things when I feel it’s right
If that’s true, then why do you base a conclusion of a word analysis on the fact if it’s contained in a dictionary or not?
It’s telling the true story - a sad one, but true nevertheless. Some people’s present - heck, future even - is some other people’s long forgotten past.
I might have noticed or assumed that your post was supposed to bash some supposedly snobbish dictionary writers or readers, not the honest hard-working lower-class citizens. Thus, in that context, ‘ordinary’ would have made more sense.
Why ever not. See the difference between a common word, which I’d expect to find in a usual dictionary, and a specialised technical term or some other exotic or niche expression?
So?
Dictionaries tend to reflect contemporary language use, not history — unlike special cases, like the aforementioned OED, by the way, which is meant mostly for those purposes, rather than regular dictionary use.
I might give you this one. It’s obviously a reflection of my inner workings. I think like a man who transcends time, but I feel and live like a commoner.
Well, I was reacting to your bashing of what I couldn’t figure out was yellow or his “intelligent keyboard”, of which both didn’t deserve the bashing.
Intelligent keyboard is perhaps too intelligent for some of us? Cuz my only complaint about those is that they work too good, so in those rare occassions when it mispredicts what I wanted to say, it becomes annoying, but still it’s working as intended.
I bet OP is working in the industry and he searched online to find what’s his own job called, found that and the intelligent keyboard learned it and suggests it to him all the time.
To me, they often look quite dumb, and the results of their ‘autocorrections’ — often outright hilarious, which was the whole point, really.
Please don’t tell me it’s supposed to be an actual word.
Perhaps some are better (or dumber ) than others. I think Google’s keyboard for Android was less annoying in this particular regard than Samsung’s, for example.
Sounds… too sophisticated, to be honest. It’s like those cases when what looks like a vile and nefarious conspiracy turns out to be just incompetence (there might be a name for it, don’t remember, but no matter).
On second thought: if that keyboard were that smart, it should have also made a context-based prediction, which, I think, has been a thing for some time.
The entire mechanic of imbue of hunter is dumb, because it would be useless if it didn’t have charge minions. They should have more imagination and make a smarter imbue like “discover a deathrattle and give it to a minion” (and if it’s larger it discovers more or better deathrattles).
I mean the spelling, of course.

Orgasmic, pardon my expression
