Losing a game because your opponent got lucky with the perfect card and or interaction caused the game to get uninstalled on a semi-frequent basis for many players. Mechanics such as “Discover,” and cards such as “Burgle” are perfect examples of how adding more variance can make a game more unpredictable.Īdmittedly, this can lead to exciting games, with insane swings and general wackiness, but it’s a double-edged sword. Aside from its cost, one of the main complaints about Blizzard’s card game has always been its reliance on RNG. The introduction of this mechanic has indeed led to the game feeling more like Hearthstone in some instances. Mogwai brings up an interesting point in the second half of his tweet. We don’t wanna be Hearthstone k thx,” the streamer tweeted. “The “Yoink” mechanic was a design mistake. Losing to your own cards is often frustrating, and it looks like Miguel “MegaMogwai” Guerrero has had enough. The main offender however is the two mana burst spell called “Pilfered Goods,” which draws a card from the enemy deck, and draws two if you’ve plundered that turn. “Black Market Merchant” is a two-mana unit that draws a card from the enemy deck when the plunder requirement is met.
The “yoink” mechanic, as it’s colloquially referred to, grants players the power to steal cards off the top of their opponent’s decks, and right now comes in the form of two cards. Spymaster Scabbs now represents 18 damage after being Stealthed by his own Gizmo! And with that, the final piece of the puzzle fell.Along with a brand new region and a plethora of new cards, Legends of Runeterra’s “Rising Tides” expansion introduced a divisive new mechanic. Playing chunky four mana 6/6s in Rogue becomes a lot more enticing when that 6 becomes a 12. In a world where Combo decks kill you on turn 7, the disruptive decks needed to do the same. This card completely snuck by under people's radar until Hunterace unveiled its hidden truth. "Battlegrounds Battlemaster isn't okay, is it?" This new Loatheb, a five mana Game Ender, was the talk of the Stormwind Trading District.Maxing out on SI:7 cards became the best way to play, and especially because of one new card: Infiltrator, the one that eats Secrets and has literally never seen the light of day, found a way in. "Wait, we should probably try every SI:7 card period, huh." There was perhaps an even sillier SI:7 minion to include.Super Scabbs would end the game regardless of where you were- just get there. It was okay to play a Yeti that helped fuel your Quest because your Quest was what mattered. "Wait, we should probably at least try every new SI:7 card, right?" The fans of "All-2-Of's" lists started backing up and rewinding- "Let's just start with jamming every single SI:7 card, even these really goofy-looking four mana 3/3 Informants." And they were right- Informant, a Rogue Chillwind Yeti-meets- Mountain Giant, was Fine Enough.But it was still taking a couple days as grinders fell in and out of sleep. "Okay, which version do we play?" There were attempts to mimic things like the Tempo Rogue list that became known as Token Rogue, and a lot of cards carried over from Miracle like Secret Passage, Foxy Fraud, Swindle, and Wicked Stab*.Miracle was great at dismantling minion-centric boards- but now Mage Quests and Warlock Quests and Demon Hunter Quest OTKs were flourishing. "Do we play the Miracle package, the Stealth package, Secrets?" Miracle was everyone's first starting place, as it was the dominant Rogue archetype before Stormwind."Do we have to pla y every SI:7 card?" Yes!.
