#465 Did Everyone Play Hearthstone This Week?!

This week Stormraige fucked up a LITTLE, Smarms lives a nightmare scenario, and ole Teddo is just along for the ride. We talk about aberrations and how much fun we're having with them and we talk about some of the coolest cards that have been revealed for Reign of the Black Empire!

We got the opportunity to interview Nathan and Brenden from the Hearthstone team and it was such an INCREDIBLE interview... but we didn't get the audio. Thankfully we were able to get a phone recording. It isn't perfect, but it was such a fun interview that I wanted to share it still!

This week Stormraige is genuinely inspired by his therapist, Smarms blows away Ted and Stormraige by pointing out a bit they've been doing unintentionally for years, Stormraige hopes to talk about Hearthstone, and eventually we do get to talk about Warrior which is pretty neato!   Here is the newsletter I write that releases every Sunday morning! https://stormraige.substack.com/ Logo Created By: Nate Wolfe.

This week Stormraige and Teddo and Smarms are all so excited about actually playing the game of Hearthstone that we totally forgot a mini set was announced! We talk about the patch notes, where the meta is at, what deck Stormraige used to hit legend with, and then we talk about the most important cards from the newest miniset "Azeroth's Most Wanted."

They did! This week Teddo/Smarms/Stormraige all talk about their experience in Battlegrounds with the new patch. We also finish talking about the last of the new minions that we haven't gotten to in the last few weeks. And along the way we get into the most amount of nonsense that we can possible handle.  Here is the newsletter I write that releases every Sunday morning! https://stormraige.substack.com/ Logo Created By: Nate Wolfe.

This week we talk about Smarm's Umbrella Experience. We then talk about the new exciting wicker basket you should try, some of the games we've been playing outside of Hearthstone and then... we talk actual Battlegrounds strategy! We know. We can't believe it either, but here we are.  Here's a link to the blue post we mention in the pod! https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/hearthstone/t/battlegrounds-developer-insight-dark-gifts/163606 Here is the newsletter I write that releases every Sunday morning! https://stormraige.substack.com/ Logo Created By: Nate Wolfe.

The crew played some battlegrounds of the brand new patch that goes live on Tuesday August 4th! Teddo falls asleep on pod.  Smarms and Stormraige talk about all the new crazy incoming mechanics that we can't wait to give a try live. It's going to be INSANITY! It's a bit of a shorter episode, but hopefully you can understand why. Here is the newsletter I write that releases every Sunday morning! https://stormraige.substack.com/ Logo Created By: Nate Wolfe.
