What is the cheapest Android device that runs Hearthstone (properly)?

I bet that is a question a lot of us are asking ourselfes if we don't own a tablet yet but consider buying one for this game.

For some this might be the time to invest in a proper tablet, but I already got a good smartphone so I would only use this for hearthstone and maybe some other games and media streaming.

So what do I NOT need in the tablet to get the price down?

- big hard drive. No need to copy movies or music, because of streaming. Space needs to be enough for system, hearthstone and some other smallish apps
- any wireless communication other than WLAN (no need for LTE etc.)
- any fancy gimmicks
- next gen mobile hardware. Just enough hardware power for hearthstone. No need to play unreal engine 4 games with this

Of course this should not involve any contract deals which would include a free tablet. I'm asking only for the raw price on the market for a new tablet.

The Amazon Kindle Fire 6'' is $99. It's only a bit bigger than some premium smartphones but the press release says it should run Hearthstone, plus you'd have access to Amazon ebooks and Prime streaming, etc. It's not attached to any carrier, so you wouldn't have to worry about bundling and LTE connections.

A number of them will run it but not very well. Hard question to answer. I ran it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab3 (below recommended specs) and it played but was a tad sluggish. Wish they had an option to remove some effects or lower some textures.

That seems to be a pretty good deal considering it's even on the official list from blizzard.
there's a sale to get the fire 7 for 99€ as well atm which seems to be a good option.
