Polygon estimated that Hearthstone could set you back at least $400 per year if you want access to all the toys.īlizzard has made some concessions since Kobolds and Catacombs to make things slightly easier for free-to-play players.
The loot-box-style card packs are randomized, and you can’t count on getting any Legendary cards to build a deck around. This means every card in Standard has to be bought in a pack or earned through daily quests or Arena play.
Since Karazhan rotated out at the same time The Witchwood was released, no Adventure sets are now legal in the Standard format. That grace is gone, dead and buried as of The Witchwood. It had the effect of flattening the playing field somewhat, allowing free-to-play players a better chance against those who don’t mind paying for an advantage. Players who didn’t want to drop $25 to purchase these expansions all at once could buy them by earning in-game gold and unlock the same cards without having to plunk down any cash. Even though players who are willing to spend more on packs are always going to have a leg up over players who aren’t, the Adventures provided the same set of cards to everyone, regardless of how deep their pockets are. That’s one of my major problems with the shift to multiple expansions and the decision to phase out Adventures. Many of her cards and abilities take advantage of her RNG manipulation, but she’s still the least consistent member of the monster-hunting crew.

She can’t deal direct damage with it, but her hero ability lets her restart her turn for free if she doesn’t like the outcome of a random effect. Finally, Toki the Time Tinker is a Mage with an unique ability. He can summon a 1/1 beast with the new Rush ability, but he’s probably the least interesting of the new heroes. Houndmaster Shaw favors beasts and draws his cards from the Hunter and Druid sets. His playstyle reminds me of the standout chess match from the One Night in Karazhan expansion, and blasting away at the enemy frontline tends to be quite entertaining. Darius Crowley starts the game with an invincible cannon, and positioning other minions around it intelligently is the key to victory. Most of her cards come from the Rogue’s library, but she can use some Hunter cards like secrets as well. Tess Greymane has a powerful hero ability, and can recycle spells no matter which player cast them initially.
Each of the four new heroes has their own playstyle and hero power, and each requires a different mindset to succeed against the monsters of the Witchwood.
