Ben Brode is one of the Senior Designers for Hearthstone, and is very vocal about the balance of the game, recently he sat down for an interview with Tim Clark over at pcgamer.com about the powerful cards and effect of The Grand Tournament expansion. This wide ranged interview hits a lot of popular points, especially on the latest tier one deck Secret Paladin: PC Gamer: Of the new cards, the biggest breakout success has been...
9 Hero Powers From One Hero! How?
We have to give credit to Disguised Toast for thinking of this odd challenge, and on the next page, we have the video in which he shows it off. All set up aside, it is quite entertaining to watch a priest rifle through 9 different hero powers in one turn. Priest starts at an advantage over the other classes, by using the epic card shadowform, he can already change his hero power twice, and then change it again by casting a...
Hilarious Plays You Gotta See!
We got a great video on the next page, as Trolden has put out another episode of his Funny and Lucky moments series, and this one is great. My favorite part is the “healing” priest deck that starts off the video. The idea of this deck is too load up with healing effects and then flip them all around with Auchenai Soulpriest.

Can This Unique Card Do Well?
With The Grand Tournament expansion came a few new mechanics for ever hero class, but nothing is more out there then the Warlock’s Fist of Jaraxxus. A card that on paper looks alright, but a card that needs to be discarded to be worthy of a deck spot, so why not buld a Warlock discard deck? Well if you have not tried it, head over the the other page, and see how Kripparrian made it work. A whole deck built around...
Pay To Win? Check Out An All Legendary Deck!
With a whole new bunch of Legendary cards with The Grand Tournament expansion, why not try to make a deck filled to the max with them, well Kripparrian did that once before and now he is doing it again. On the next page, Kripp shows us why this deck is a bit better with the newer cards and why he did not include certain Legendary cards. After all is said and done, the deck has some potential, though you might need to cut out...
A New Hearthstone Combo You Gotta See!
Some cards are just begging to be used together, like the new Warlock minion Dreadsteed and Knife Juggler, so as long as the Dreadsteed is able to come back from the dead, the Juggler will deal its damage. While that is nice, we can make this better, and The Optimist Brit did just that. In the video on the next page, we get to see what happens when each side has a full board of Jugglers and Dreadsteeds. The randomness of...
