We offer six tips for improving your ability to evaluate new cards. Along the way, we highlight best practices for determining when & why a card is at its best or worst. We also touch on common pitfalls and how you can avoid them. Trigger warning: We are not fans of Gnomeferatu. Intro & Outro track is "Lock" by Psyche Corporation.

As the season draws to a close, we offer some perennial tips for making the best of your laddering time. We also discuss what you should be thinking about when you're brewing new decks or tweaking existing ones.

With a new set on the horizon, we each give you our take on the top 5 cards in Un'Goro. We also talk about quest design, and why they may have had such a disappointing impact on Hearthstone. Come here us talk about the most impactful crabs (and turtles) and the most lackluster legendaries!

Is the Caverns Below nerf what we need to see control decks increase in prevalence? We discuss whether crystal rogue is truly dead and gone, and how you can prepare for the metagame changes that will follow this change. We also discuss the spoilers we've seen for Frozen Throne, and how hero cards and lifesteal could impact Hearthstone!

Updates on what the standard metagame looks like, and discuss how playing whats comfortable can often be better than playing the strongest deck in a balanced metagame. We introduce what it means to "have a plan," and discuss how keeping this in mind can improve your game.

Wild discussion! We talk about some of the general ways in which wild and standard are different, and provide an overview of some of the popular decks in the wild metagame.

We discuss the current state of the Un'Goro metagame, and some of the decks that we've seen rise to power in the last season. We also discuss the subtle impact that Crystal Rogue has on deck viability, and how to navigate an environment where each class has multiple viable decks.

Further discussion of the Un'Goro metagame in general, and the balance of the standard format. Additional discussion on how narrow hate cards like Hungry Crab impact the game, and how data aggregation and discussion websites impact the metagame. Also, is pirate warrior too strong?
