Hearthstone Review

Unfamiliar with the Warcraft universe having largely steered clear of the entire franchise, I have been hearing great things about Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, the new card game based on the series' lore. The game is still in beta but is free to play and despite my beliefs that it would be a poor iteration of other fantasy card games, the positive noises I was hearing (especially from other members of this blog - it's worth noting that this review is my opinion, as are all the reviews I post, not that of the rest of the team) and the non-existent price tag inspired me to put aside me prior assumptions and give it a go.

Hearthstone - Over excited Rogue makes a rookie mistake.

Hello everyone, Kieran 'Mukea' Miller here again to bring you a quick story about something that made me laugh in a ranked game a few days ago. Below I have posted the screenshot relevant to what I am talking about.

As you can see I was only on eight health, and the rogue said a hearty "Well Played!" as he slams down his Leeroy Jenkins and buffs it up with a Cold Blood to get the damage he thought he needed to finish me off, however he clearly wasn't paying attention because Leeroy Jenkins only has two health and I have a two attack Gnoll on the field. He tries to attack my face and suddenly realises his error, and sadly says "Mistakes Were Made". From this error he wasted two cards (one of which is a very powerful Legendary card) and also his whole turn. I felt very sorry for him, but it was a very rookie mistake to make, he just passed the turn and I killed Leeroy Jenkins with the two Whelps that it spawned, and went on to win the match. Goodbye from me until next time!
