[quote=Lugignaf]Okay so, I'm bringing this back because we have 9 more deck slots, and [b][url=http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/blog/19995505]A NEW FORMAT[/url][/b] coming soon. It's going to make it more like MtG and phase out some of the ridiculously strong cards, like Dr. Boom and Shredder. Expansions that you don't have at least one wing of, as well as packs not part of standard, won't be available for purchase. Adventure cards, and also cards from old packs, will be available for crafting if they're not part of standard. Coming with Standard format is the "old" Wild format. Which is basically the format everyone's been playing since release. Anything goes there and all cards are valid. The metagame really looks to be shaking up, and I'm excited.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]You know what I'm the most excited for? CARD REBALANCE ... and 9 new deck slots ofc.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]To be fair, the card rebalances come with the season update. And as a player of Casual(or Wild if you want to take the HS approach), it's probably my favorite thing. Especially when I have a more "competitive" environment when I feel like it.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Lugignaf]To be fair, the card rebalances come with the season update.[/quote] Huh? How is that of any relevance?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I meant format, not season. And it's relevant because I initially liked the format change. :P[/quote]

[quote=Searz]So you're saying that the balance changes are coming with each season? As far a I could see they said nothing about that, only that they were gonna take a balance pass on the basic and classic sets.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]No. I'm saying that the balance changes are coming with the [b]format update[/b], which is what I meant, and corrected myself to.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Wow, I'd never have thought that a player as slow as Lifecoach would be so entertaining to watch. Crazy shit just keeps happening in his matches :D [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxLnpbH-0ww][/quote]

[quote=Searz]Okay, nevermind those two matches, the final was an entirely different level of insane. [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFFHFb-Lnv4][/quote]

[quote=Searz]Sooo, what is the highest damage people have reached for this week's Tavern Brawl? I got to 1041 on my ~5th try and then it just ended. I think the limit is 1000 damage before it ends. [spoiler=How I did it]Priest seems like the obvious choice for this one since they have access to a health-doubler, a way to make damage equal to health and an AOE silence.

You might be able to reach millions of damage if you can set up some kind of feedback-loop with Lorewalker Cho+Divine Spirit, but there's no guarantee that it will work and even if it does it probably involves a lot of RNG going your way.[/spoiler][/quote]
