I mean, it's pretty obvious. I know several people who had something similar or the same in their own DK theorycraft (I even played with the idea myself, except I didn't have die at the end of the turn). There are only so many ways to make a hero power since they tend to emulate 0 cost cards and that doesn't have a lot of room in budget to do interesting things. Like we saw DH have to break the mold and have a 1 mana hero power, creating new space. We are very close to tapped out for possible 2 mana cost hero powers, so I am curious what people have for their monk hero power actually...

Why would you want every class to be full of deckbuilding restrictions? The freedom to put together a deck of your own instead of being railroaded into a build is one of the main attractions of card games. You can play a stealth Rogue without having to limit yourself to only Stealth Spec cards. You can create deck themes without having your arm twisted by a restriction to do so. Speccing in DK is interesting because it is unique. If it was everywhere, it would get real obnoxious real fast. It pushes designs that will lead to hefty power creep because if you're going to restrict yourself to a specific spec, you expect a reward more powerful than your generic good card. Else, why spec at all? The best card in DK should be standalone better than the best card in every other class because other classes can combine those cards with anything while DK can't. The end result will likely be that DK decks will wind up just stuffed to the brim with high spec requirement cards that are so powerful it blows everyone else out of the water. Deckbuilding restrictions often only end up mattering in the deckbuilding phase. Once you're playing the game, it doesn't matter what cards are NOT in your opponent's deck when the cards that ARE in there are all backbreaking.

@ninototo1

Жыл бұрын

@@lMarcusl MTG, the game that inspired Hearthstone, uses a spec system since its inception and it makes the game much more interesting than Hearthstone because you can't just pick the best cards your class has, you have to decide which ones you want and spec your deck that way. DK is at a huge disadvantage compared to other classes. Their triple spec cards need to be op in order to compete, because other classes can combine every op card they have into one deck, which by the way is very boring and mindless. Restricting access via a spec system forces you to make decisions, and decisions are fun. There is another advantage as well. Since it divides classes into sub-classes, you need less cards in your collection to compete, since you won't need 3 class legendaries in order to compete, as your spec won't allow all of them.

@lMarcusl

Жыл бұрын

@@ninototo1 Well, conversely you might also really need a chunky DK collection cause if you have just a bit of all the various specs, you don't potentially have enough ammo to build any of the specs into a reasonably decent deck. If your collection is leaning in the wrong way, like you have a triple Blood legendary but none of the good Blood cards, you're boned. The comparison to MtG is not quite appropriate I think because while yes, you do technically "spec" your deck in MtG, you're also not restricted by class in MtG. You have access to the entire range of existing cards to "spec" into and get to choose which ones are worth the investment and which are not. In Hearthstone, your speccing is restricted entirely to a very small subset of cards: DK cards. Neutrals offer some more variety but are generally not the workhorses of any deck so those are more of a filler, and all the cards for other classes are unavailable to you. If DK is to have 3 dedicated triple rune specs plus X number of hybrids, you have to be able to assemble all of that from just the 50-something cards the class has access to. Every expansion will be adding some 8 new class cards and those 8 cards, split into 3 different specs, potentially lead to a dedicated Frost spec deck getting like 2 cards it can even consider per expansion. The spec restriction will likely lead to a lot problems down the road, between railroading and limited influx of new cards, I'm not sure it's even something worth the benefits it brings. I would definitely not want to see this implemented anywhere outside of the DH class.
