Hearthstone has been having this struggle since its inception. Blizzard management and executives always asking either "how is this going to make us MORE money?" or "why are we giving this away for free?". The fact that the boards were free was the most obvious cut for them.
The Early Access Tavern Brawl is really cool actually. Not only can you open your packs early, you can use them in a mini tournament? That's super sick. My cousins and I did this back in the day with physical, new Pokemon/Yugioh sets. We buy a booster box, open up all the packs and just use the cards we opened to play against one another. I genuinely love this, ngl.
there has never been a card outside shudderwock that triggered battlecries the only one I can think of right now is murozond didnt do it and it said "replay"
my opponent played that guy THE MOMENT new expansion launched and i was like WAIT, WTF IS THAT CARD? if i remember correctly battlecries does not work and targets seem to chosen randomly. by the way, i brawled that poor guy who played avatar of hearthstone and he got rekt. hillarious.
If we're going to space we might as well go to antorus too. I'd love to see some love for the titans a second time around in a different way. Maybe their weapons would be cool like how Hunter has taeschlac, they can do argus's scythe, norgammons gauntlet etc. Obviously not all of them have weapons and I butchered the names but I think it would be cool for everyone to get a neat weapon
Recently dove back into Hearthstone heavily and came across some of your "top 'X' deck" videos and have loved how in depth you go into combos and playstyles etc. Thank you! Keep it up!
The Avatar of Hearthstone says opens the pack then plays all of them so I'm under the assumption they go into your hand and then are played, thus triggering other battlecries
It's a REAL shame that Avatar of Hearthstone, when doubled/tripled with any of Shaman's stuff, doesn't keep going if it dies during any of the triggers
They added a bunch of cool stuff for gold in the shop ;-; ~Aranna skin, Rastakhan Skn, Signature Ra-Den(my favorite signature of all time), Signature Sif... they're really trying to make us spend gold to buy the packs with money.
Other effects that replay cards do not play battlecries. Tess Greymane and Murozond "Play" cards and battlecries are not triggered. The only time battlecries are triggered or retriggered is if it explicitly states that in the text, such as in Shudderwock or Brilliant Macaw. Otherwise. battlecries never trigger in cards that say "replay" or "play".
Yeah it's always base version. But it is possible to chain the Spellburst onto the new Echo if it's the only Minion in hand, and then play it and repeat, but I dunno if you got the mana/Spells for that unless you're Druid.
Yeah. That's why people like to save them if possible, especially if you got all rares/commons from previous sets, because when the expansion launches on the 5th you can open them and all the commons/rares you get from them will be Great Dark Beyond cards.
Do you think there will be a way to get a golden copy of Avatar of Hearthstone in the future? I have a full-golden casino mage deck, and this card might make the cut
Doesn't matter if they identify broken stuff before the launch. They won't do anything about it until their preplanned patch day. Just like with the Streamer pre-release events always showing off the majorly broken cards and them never doing anything about it for the launch. This prerelease brawl is just another type of Scamesium, except instead of sucking out gold before a mini-set, it's literally just "Buy a preorder so you have the new cards lol"
i just test played avatar of hearthstone and i got 2 legendaries, one of which was golden. and epic and at least 1 rare. i guess im just the luckiest pack opener or Avatar has a high legend drop rate lmao
it seems to be similar to elise pack where cards are just random from certain pool and rarities are not exactly skewed like they are during normal pack opening.
You mentioned something about opening standard packs only after the expansion is live... does this apply to the book of heroes class card packs as well?
That pre release tavern brawl looks a lot like a slap in the face of f2p players since they won't be able to buy packs with gold until the expansion launches after the brawl.
hopefully they will let people buy packs with gold and open them at the same time as the preorder so they can enjoy the brawl too ...they're not gonna do that are they
Hearthstone finally found a way to sky rocket their bundle sale. Again only addicted people fall pray, take it as a simple game to get joy and not to bankrupt you.
I hope the spaceships will be good... Im just sad that effects like Reno and Bomb boss exist in the game. They keep making these uninteractable effects that are so cool like sargaras portal, spaceships, dormant minions, but they completely loose their meaning when you have common played cards that just delete them and its not like a tech card, its a everyday card.
Especially when the point of Starships is to build them up, generally over a long period of time. Those cards might actually see less play due to that, if Reno/Boomboss stays relevant. A bit of a bummer.
@@mr.d4830 HL warrior is actually tier 4 and it definitely hasnt warped or dominated the meta unless you count getting to legend being 10 times easier due to the free wins it gives the opponent as warping the meta
Dude screw Renethal. Game was already going ridiculously long, now this garbage? And then pay to win more? What the hell. Buy more pre-packs so you can play the pre-release to win more packs by paying. Hell no
POV you take a break from watching family guy funny moments and subway surfers gameplay to play hearthstone and the stupid grandmas playing against you dont win or concede by turn 3
I will give this a chance, but I wish they had fixed the meta before throwing new cards into it. I was already considering taking a (permanent?) break because of the stupid Reno Druid decks and now they can have more health, be greedier with the 9 extra cards, and figure out how to break both the brand new cards.
Shoutout to the fastest reveal season of all time that was totally intentional and not leaked.
Nobody saw nothing alright
📸 nothing at all
Well I didn't see it, so I guess I'll just wait like we were supposed to.
@@ZeddyHearthstone see what i dont know what you are talking about
@@robertlupa8273Or just look up one of the myriad of online posts everywhere about it. All the cards are on the internet already.
A new space theme board would have been so cool! Although, poor people could enjoy it and we can't have that...
Have another diamond portrait instead ($89.99 CAD)
Hearthstone has been having this struggle since its inception.
Blizzard management and executives always asking either "how is this going to make us MORE money?" or "why are we giving this away for free?".
The fact that the boards were free was the most obvious cut for them.
They’re going to take Renethal away from us after the set goes live. I miss him already.
Reason, why?
Ah.. damn. Well, gonna go to wild then
Still available more often than Twist
Yeah nice 40 hp and 40 card
1 game 40 minutes
And next game aggro kill you in 3 rounds ...
Please do. I’m already sick of Druid’s and warriors with expanded decks

So it is the tavern brawl that was the "never done before" thing?
Probably the 100 mana legendary
Just a heads up for mobile, the patch is not live yet (at least for Iphone). If you play on your phone, you can still start an arena run!
Android just got the update
Avatar of Hearthstone says "play" so does that mean battlecries will work?
They sadly don't, it's like all the "replay every card played last turn" cards
Maybe? But I would assume that's more so because "summon" wouldn't really make sense on this card.
there has never been a card outside shudderwock that triggered battlecries the only one I can think of right now is murozond didnt do it and it said "replay"

You also need the space in your hand if not you want get the full pack only the space u have available
I just finished my arena run yesterday. I had no idea there would be a new arena season starting today.
Damn i thought he was back for good ,ill make this one month count playing Prince Renathal i guess🧐🤫

Zeddy, if possible, please warn/remind brainfarters like me a day or two before arena resets. 😅

@@sujimayne I think you replied to the wrong comment lol
@@rivetaceRUclips mobile bug... I hate it lol
I wonder if Resort Valet in standard will discover from the Great Dark during the prerelease period
YOO renathal BACK?!?! NO WAY LMAO
It was only gone for two expansions
@@gankfrombushFeels like 2 years
Needs to be permanent in order to combat the hyper agro decks.
God I'm so happy about Renathal!
Ty always 🎉 great all the info you give us Zeddy!
Boy the theme of this expansion would make a sick board!
The avatar of hearthstone looks 🔥🔥
thank you for the info teddy
Whoop whoop let’s gooo!!!!! 3 videos in one day!!!! Let’s go zeddy!
The event sounds fun, but I'm gonna stay doubtful until we see ALL of the details. You know how these things can go.
Yeah the prerelease does legitimately sound like a fun event for players.
Thanks Zeddy!
They added a bunch of cool stuff for gold in the shop ;-;
~Aranna skin, Rastakhan Skn, Signature Ra-Den(my favorite signature of all time), Signature Sif... they're really trying to make us spend gold to buy the packs with money.
The time has come.. to Dethrone our former master!
thx for info zeddy
Avatar says "play all cards", so I think you would get battlecries, just like some of the other effects that replay cards.
Other effects that replay cards do not play battlecries. Tess Greymane and Murozond "Play" cards and battlecries are not triggered. The only time battlecries are triggered or retriggered is if it explicitly states that in the text, such as in Shudderwock or Brilliant Macaw. Otherwise. battlecries never trigger in cards that say "replay" or "play".
avatar gives you first cards and plays after that so you need to empty your hand
1 mana shudderblock and avatar of hearthstone. fun stuff.
not the biggest fan of Renathal but I know a lot of people love him so it's kinda neat (although maybe with enough tutors he's alright, idk)
He is amazing in dealing with the hyper agro decks.😊
Why would you want to tutor a vanilla 3/4?
@@ratbat0 i mean ways to tutor cards in order to make drawing out of a 40 card deck reliable
renethal was a good balance for control in a hyper aggro meta. glad hes back for awhile.
Avatar of Hearthstone opens the pack and then puts cards in your hand...and then plays them so you need to have 5 spaces in hand or it sucks.
I like the theme. Also what happens when you give the Nexus effect on something with echo? every copy has this effect as well?
Nah, echo copies are always base versions.
Yeah it's always base version. But it is possible to chain the Spellburst onto the new Echo if it's the only Minion in hand, and then play it and repeat, but I dunno if you got the mana/Spells for that unless you're Druid.
I don't play arena. so this is a great way to use those tavern tickets. cool.
Is the standard pack affected by the no duplicate rule?
Yeah. That's why people like to save them if possible, especially if you got all rares/commons from previous sets, because when the expansion launches on the 5th you can open them and all the commons/rares you get from them will be Great Dark Beyond cards.
@@KnownAsKenji i meant the one the Avatar of Hearthstone opens
I'm excited for this new expansion!
Do you think there will be a way to get a golden copy of Avatar of Hearthstone in the future? I have a full-golden casino mage deck, and this card might make the cut
Looks good, major improvement from the last few stupid themes
I love the early access tavern brawl, its the kind if thing that gets you hyoed for new expansions
I think the prerelease brawl might stealthy be great given their lack of play testing. Identify the broken stuff before the full launch 💀
Doesn't matter if they identify broken stuff before the launch. They won't do anything about it until their preplanned patch day. Just like with the Streamer pre-release events always showing off the majorly broken cards and them never doing anything about it for the launch.

Avatar gonna go crazy in reno warrior

I'm returning to the game after a long hiatus. I love playing Odyn Warrior in Standard rn. I can't wait for the next expansion
Good luck everyone
I still could draft a arena deck for free from my phone, it wasnt updated yet. Then I opened Hearthstone from pc and got my free rewards.
Good job blizzard thanks for the leak
Tavern brawl is gonna be in stand format? Or wild?
I thought my last opponent was cheating, or I accidentally went to wild
Very hyped for renathal comeback!
You mentioned something about opening standard packs only after the expansion is live... does this apply to the book of heroes class card packs as well?
Yes
As well as any hero class card packs you may get with a purchased hero portrait. They're standard packs just for one class
Looks very cool!
Birthdays you usually get money. In this case, we are giving Hearthstone yet more money. Woot!
I'll take that bundle
I need that bundle 😅
NOICEEEE renethal is back!!!!
It says "play". Shouldn't you get the battlecry?
thanks for the years of great content, stay salty my friend
Trying my luck here :)
Really excited for this expansion
So do we know how this new Brawl actually works?
Can we build a deck only with new cards?
No, we don't know, that's part of what's got me worried.
I say we don't give a pass to Blizzard on this until we know ALL of the details.
that avatar card is kinda crazy
It’s gonna give you trash

im curious if the avatar of hearthstone has a chance to give golden cards lol
So Fireside Gathering is no longer a thing. 😢
Im doing my best to make you go broke. Maybe this time?
Ren and triple blood.
*9 mana 5/5 that summons 4 commons and 1 rare... yeah nah, I'm good.*
The entire xpac got leaked so yeah
nice video
Mmmh patch notes draft?
I like avatar of hearthstone even though I don't think it's great.
Lemme get a bundle 🥰
I hope the spaceships will be good... Im just sad that effects like Reno and Bomb boss exist in the game.

Yeah so basically "tier 3" HL will dominate and warp the meta as it did for the longest time.
Nothing new.
@@mr.d4830 HL warrior is actually tier 4 and it definitely hasnt warped or dominated the meta unless you count getting to legend being 10 times easier due to the free wins it gives the opponent as warping the meta

Yeah Reno's annoying but remember it's only gonna be in standard for one more expansion. After that, bye byeeeee.
how do you expect them to "fix the meta" when reno decks are already mediocre and inferior to non-reno versions?
Nice.
Rare!
No way
