Is anyone else loving Twist this month? It’s very enjoyable after such a stale meta of Whizbangs Workshop. Each hero is unique in their playstyle and design making it fun to switch heroes after each game. Should the devs incorporate this kind of game mode where having certain cards unlock unique heroes to play with? I would certainly be fine if they replace duels with this and maybe rotate heroes out with different ones every now and then with other ones.

So far I think this Twist season is doing what was intended: Encourage and reward players to keep older cards that might not otherwise be interested in Wild, while scratching a bit of the itch for the Duels run folks. You don’t have to balance 6+ options per hero and really only have to balance them against each other based on health and maybe a minor mechanic correction (I’m looking at you Arfus).
I do think they missed a tick by not theming the heroes for the set (Action Figures!), but of the modes they are trying out and could monetize, this is, so far, more successful than the COT mini-set and could have legs if further iterated on. I look forward to next month’s heroes.
I couldn’t agree more. I was thinking about how they would monetize it if they added it like battlegrounds but it’s pretty obvious they’ll sell the cards in the shop just like what they’re doing now.
And just like you said with theming, battlegrounds season pass is themed along with the current expansion it would make sense to have some main heroes in twist themed after the expansion too like having Joypetto (that toy gnome) be one of the heroes
