    The latest expansion for the popular CCG from Blizzard Entertainment is roughly based on the Argent Tournament from WoW. It introduces 132 new cards and two new mechanics; Inspire and Joust. Inspire effects trigger when the friendly hero uses their hero power, normally resulting in a buff or a repeatable effect. Joust effects occur whenever the card's text reads 'Reveal a minion from each players deck'. If the allied minion revealed has a higher mana cost, the Joust will be a success and the event will occur. This is a general discussion thread for all things relating to the new expansion.

    We will see how it affects balance. Before the new cards, things were pretty well balanced with a few paper-rock-sicissors issue, but not much.. But any time you add a large amount of cards it is going to present problems because of unforseen synergies with stuff already in the game.

    So, the expansion has been out for a while now, and I think that it isn't anything special, sadly. The cards didn't really create a new meta, as I expected them to do, and that's truly disappointing.

    Yeah, the cards haven't been quite as impactful as I would've liked but the Expansion is great nonetheless. The new mechanics are pretty cool and there are some op cards like Aviana (I think that's how you spell it) and Varian Wrynn. Maybe the meta needs some time before some cool decks appear.

    Yep, it is the curse of card games. You want to have stability and be balanced, but at the same time, you do need to have some new excitement and new metas. I think they decided to add new interesting cards, but not specifically target the strong decks.

    Well, I don't think that's a bad thing. I really like that they're now adding some counters to the dreaded Patron deck with Chillmaw and some new cards that I can't name off the top of my head, but the meta is really going to shift in the upcoming weeks. That's how it was with BRM too.
