Those were some really shit posts from Req and I would have banned him for that too fwiw.

Also Pokemon are not tools. They're super cuddly friends! Yango can attest as to how spoilt my Cinccino is hehe.

In terms of Hearthstone and MtGO, I cannot see Hearthstone in its current state becoming as competitive as MtG has been because the very set up of the game (3 card hands, deck limitations, etc.) means that you have incredibly high variance games. The lack of consistency means that you are far more RNG dependant than, say, MtG because in MtG you can construct your decks to be RNG resistant. I would find it as interesting as watching a Protoss only tournament. That being said, as more cards are introduced into the card pool there is potential. Wizards really bungled with MODO. It may have made them a lot of money no doubt, but splitting money across paper and online is just so hard on budgets.
ModeratorA dream. Do you have one that has cursed you like that? Or maybe... a wish?

How salty would MTG/MTGO players be if Hearthstone started getting lots of sponsorships and huge stream count tourneys?

Edit: Pokemon as tools gets really messed up if you play in a universe where the Pokemon can actually talk, which is why most Nuzlocke comics depict them that way.

My run would be super boring since no one has come even close to dying yet.

Has there even been a Hearthstone tournament yet? It'd be embarrassing if he's like Incontrol level at Hearthstone.

Also Req, you shoulda listened to me about the shitposting.


Well the game is in beta and so all the players strong now will have to prove their ability to adapt in order to maintain being strong. Look at the SC2 beta and all those "strong" players. We rarely see any of them anymore. So yes, he can potentially be incontrol level. It's pretty stupid but he has stream numbers and that's what matters for sponsorship for now.


That feels like a fairly silly comparison to make seeing as there is literally 0 mechanical skill requirement for Hearthstone. It's just about staying current on what cards and strats are good and then actually implementing it.

It's also funny that Razer is sponsoring him since Hearthstone is probably one of the few video games where you could play with a laptop touchpad and still be top tier.

I heard that there have been some mini tournaments online but it's mostly some people messing around afaik nothing official so far.

Soniv, Alaric seemed in jest. Roffles, caelym, not so much. For example.

64,000 DPI, one for every card combination in the game. (Get it? Cause it's not that deep (yet?))

I'd buy a Razor product if it got me a beta key.
