Uh…so broken. There are literally dozens of cards that allow you to build a deck in the game. Most being a function of rogue or priest…
Only a few cards in wild counter immune minions and nothing in the game counters that effect. I didnt think you could screw it up worse after denatrius…but I was so wrong.
yeah,thats how exactly incompetent are dev team.
Is every release going to contain an overpowered 10 cost minion with ridiculous effect? Battlegrounds is already the more popular mode, balance Standard FFS!
Maybe the reason the entire team from upper management to lower workers are getting fired when Microsoft takes over.
I believe right now they are just trying to sabotage the game.
It seems as though the devs and such are just biding their time until MS takes over. I don’t imagine too many are feeling any job security right now. MS is going to be looking to revamp and bring in those with successful track records. Anyone involved in the last few sets/expansions will be on the chopping block.
The mediocrity that permeates the development of this game, and others, won’t be tolerated.
Unfortunately if balancing existing content isnt the first thing Microsoft does we wont be in any better spot. Power needs scaled down hard. Standard cards shouldnt overtake wild. When that happens power of new cards isnt balanced, period.
Th thread below includes a video discussing the recent Dev AMA (Ask Me Anything). Let’s just say that our assumptions about testing and development are pretty spot on these days. There’s no forethought given to sets.
If this card is really a problem (And so far it hasn’t been one at all for me) then counter the card, play “Steamcleaner” and then BAM no more created deck to draw from. the card is also free so you have no excuse not to. I swear people just love to cry and moan instead of learning a counter.
pfft another one trying to get views for thier favourite youtuber…im not clicking on that(and it screams clickbait )
Old Guardian has been around doing HS videos for quite a while now. I don’t specifically follow him, but this particular video was interesting. I only watched because I missed the AMA devs did on Twitter.
That being said, the guys got like 26k people following his channel, so I doubt that a couple people not watching changes anything. From just a moment of looking, it seems he does a lot of HS guides and discussions about cards/releases.
Personally, I’ve no vested interest, so I don’t really care who watches. Just giving people more info than they had already. Take it how you will.
Bolf + Jailer, Malganis + Jailer, Violet Illusionist + Jailer. 2 combos that disallow ANY hero dmg and a slightly weaker one that only allows you to avoid damage on your turn.
Add a taunt minion to board, means cant be face blasted by minions except Kayn Sunfury (DH wild Legendary).
Robes of protection on board stops all targeted removal from spells and hero powers on minions. Kobold monk stops all targeted spells or hero power on your hero.
Play mage? Run animated armor. Only 1 dmg recieved per hero hit rest of game, definitely enough time to finish adding a deck…which is easy.
One other thing bolf or malganis on board means you can literally draw forever from an empty deck and not die.
Some classes have a few counters to remove minions on board but slotting right minions on board reduces those. Classes which can copy or resummon minions will manipulate those tools to overcome vital minion renewal.
HS devs used to say new charge minions would break the game. This is infinitely worse. I figured these interactions out in a half hour. Why cant a company worth billions witb resources and a team figure this out?
We need some mediocre powered expansions over the next year if we’re going to scale down, which I’m guessing won’t be done in fear of losing players.
I dont think people would leave if it was done properly. Personally I want each year to be its own season. And I want each season to have a theme. And at the end of each year when the season is over, that season shouldnt go away, but have its own mode like classic.
Doing things this way would allow the game to cater to all people since each year would have a theme and after its over people who found that it catered to them can just keep playing it. Hate the new meta with the theme of “power”, why not play last year which had the theme of “Minions!” and was more board based gameplay? Hate minion based play? Why not play 2024s season which was the season of “mischivious spells” focusing on big spell combos?
Personally I really think we need something like this. A big part of why everyone here is upset is because at this point so many people expect and want different things from the game. Give us seasons that let us play how we want.
We live in a day and age where Azari, the Devourer is just a card in your deck.
To refresh, Azari is the Demon that destroys your opponents deck. You acquire him after playing multiple cards 5 5mana spells summoning a 2/2,3/3,4/4,5/5 and 6/6 after playing Rin, 6 mana 3/6 w/taunt.
Destroying their deck doesnt stop a rebuild. Also azari is about a 35 mana total spend with 4 turns at a minimum to play.
All the jailer will accomplish is necessitating a hyper aggro approach to play and pissing people off.
Cestea would you have any interest in trying to get a separate league of players together for Hearthstone? I really am debating trying to run a league for players sick of Blizzards inability to balance this game. No reason we cant get a group together who all agree upon the same rules and ban the same cards from play.
I doubt this goes anywhere. But I am really tempted to try. I love this games bones, I just cant stand the rotten meat and flesh they insist on attaching to those bones.
Lol
Honestly, it’s harder and harder to play HS in its current state these days. I haven’t even jumped into the game to grab the mini-set.
This is where im at with the game. Iv only been finishing my weekly/dailies recently and not playing much more. Compared to playing 4-8 hours before. Between the greed based changes to runestones, gold/battlepass and all the other issues its just a struggle.
Thus the idea of getting a league together. We could even create our own custom tavern brawls by creating special rules for specific weeks.
Immune bypasses taunt. Try again.
Imagine throwing this big a tantrum and not even knowing what you’re talking about.

Went back and retested this by waiting out innkeeper to get a board back up and your right. When I originally tested this I just dropped a taunt on field and the shield icon didnt change, so I assumed as much. When you stealth a taunt there is a visual change. When a taunt minion is immune there is no visual removal of the taunt. Nice catch.
That said Jailer is OP, totally broken, and beyond the taunt not being a factor I disagree with the rest of what you said. I stopped giving blizz my cash ages ago due to baku being forced in HOF prematurely a few years back but have 500 or so invested in my collection. Others have thousands. All worthless due to a few stupidly broken cards and interactions. Sorry if your offended but IDGAF.
