Last Turn

Okay, so nerfs happened, but buffs? Wtf does this mean for the Hearthstone metagame? We go through each card and try to speak to its potential - some are pretty unexciting, but others are *extremely* exciting.

One deck stands head-and-shoulders above the others in win rate and play rate at higher ranks: tempo rogue. Why is this deck so much stronger than the other aggressive options, and how do you beat it? It has one bad matchup, but what makes that matchup bad? Also, what will be banned and how? We're pretty confident about our guess!

What could possibly be good in a world without odd paladin? We're here to tell you what we think are the strongest contenders of the breakout decks in Rise of Shadows.

We dive into our favorite cards in rise of the shadows, most of which probably suck. Tune in to see how wrong we are! Who knows, though - maybe we're right!

With the eclipse of the year of the raven, we're losing a lot of really iconic and powerful stuff. What are the best cards we're losing, and which decks are toast? Tune in to find out!

The classic set is a bit of an elephant in the room. Through nerfs and the hall of fame, the developers have acknowledged that pieces of basic/classic are harmful for a healthy game ecosystem. However, having an evergreen set comes with some clear advantages. What are the pros and cons, and what are our alternatives?

In the Year of the Dragon, we'll lose some classic cards that have been staples in the metagame for years. We'll also see two Witchwood legendaries take their build-around cards and scamper into the forest a year early. Even though Genn and Baku are leaving us, we'll feel their effects in all formats for the rest of the Hearthstone. Tune in to hear us go deep on how these cards affect the players and the developers.

Remember the best class in Hearthstone? Well, Blizzard put on their carry pants and crushed it. Seriously, though, these are some huge nerfs that effectively invalidated the last year of cards they've printed, and will continue to have rippling effects on Druid's class identity for a long time. Some other stuff changed, too, I guess.

Greetings, traveler! What has the Hearthstone ladder been like since the new set dropped, and what zany decks has Evan tried out? Tune in to find out!

Another lite set review! We pick out and discuss our favorite cards from each class and highlight the decks in which they may be best. The power level of these cards seems fairly high to us, and we both look forward to playing with them!

In the twilight of the expansion, we reflect on Boomsday. What were the class-defining decks? Which cards really kicked butt, and which were anticipated to rock but fell flat?

With new balance adjustments behind us, we eagerly await a fresh metagame. Before we go into that, though, it's worth appreciating what changed and why - specifically, the Mana Wyrm nerf. What made that card so good, and which cards are similar?

The last year of Hearthstone has given us a lot of really fascinating mechanics, and some incredibly powerful cards. But which cards have had the hugest impact on Standard? Are they part of the newer expansions, or are they old flames that we just can't put out?

Boomsday brought with it mechs, but old powerhouses that have risen from the scrap heap are the most potent foes on the ladder! What is each class doing, and are there any truly *new* archetypes amongst them? Tune in and find out!

The fortieth episode of Last Turn is a lite set review of Boomsday! We're excited to talk about the most explosive cards amidst the iron-cast collection of cards that Blizzard gave us. We're both really excited!
