Hello Team! Thanks for doing this…love the game ![:slight_smile:](https://dacy5cilkxabf.cloudfront.net/en/hearthstone/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
Annual theme (year of Kraken / Mammoth) for thematic consistency & keeping meta fresh/exciting
I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on this idea, though I think you have already started working in this direction with story driven theme for the year and delayed single-player content.
I had hoped the idea of theming each year (Kraken, Mammoth) would lead to some more exciting storytelling between the expansions of the year and maybe even use it to keep the meta fresh/exciting throughout and in-between expansion releases.
To that end, i would like to suggest that Team 5 would consider something like — A set of 6 to 12 cards released over a bi-monthly or monthly schedule with the rank pack (subject to similar basic requirements being fulfilled, like playing/winning at least x games that month etc) with the Annual theme (Mammoth for 2017). Strong Legendaries/Epics (Like N’Zoth, Kazakus) , perhaps which bring out the “Mammoth” theme, tie all expansions together thematically, keep meta dynamic every month?
This may also provide an additional advantage of letting Team 5 course-correct the meta by introducing the right card at the right time if/when needed.
These cards would form their own annual standard collection (Year of the Mammoth Set) and cards from these can be crafted in months following their release (for those who missed winning them in monthly packs).
Cheers!
