One Shadowflame Stalker high roll decided the entire game.
Don’t get me wrong, Discover can lead to some unbelievable scenarios, sure, but at some point, you just sit back and seriously question what any of it is really about.

This is supposed to be a strategy game, where careful play and reading your opponent should give you an edge.
But situations like this just leave a bad taste.

I didn’t even get mad when I lost. I just thought: You were the better player, simply because you got an actual class Legendary in the Arena draft, and hit the Discover high roll.
I was simply the more unfortunate one to not manage that as well.

The game simply can’t be taken seriously.
Anyone paying attention can see that Hearthstone is simply a sense overload, with big numbers, bright colors, random nonsense, and overwhelming effects, with strategic play only secondary.

Discover is one of, if not the worst thing to happen to Hearthstone. It turned a strategy game into slots.

And yet, when one of us points that out we can count on the usual suspects popping out of nowhere to defend the mechanic

Discover was fine when it was sporadic and costed minion stats. Then they decided ooh people like this mechanic let’s put it on everything and remove that pesky stat penalty. It’s no longer fine.

Warlock has one of the best card pools in Arena right now after the druid nerfs in Arena. Before those Changes Druid was an easy 9+ win class. That’s just how arena plays. I mean you haven’t even mentioned the barcode decks that just naturally have everything in deck without needing to discover it.
