A Week of Perils in Paradise: Metagame and Balance Thoughts

Kibler shares this thoughts on the current state of Hearthstone Standard, with his suggestions of what he'd like to see changed to improve the metagame.

Hydration Station shouldn't revive Mechs since they don't need water.

[poukaflame]

It blows my mind on what cards are hit with the "not less than 1" and which one's aren't.

[IanBooth]

The best in the business. Great recommended changes, and I loved hearing your opinion on the recent philosophy Team 5 has had around quick balance changes/nerfs/buffs. Thanks for the video Kibler!

[DuckTheDoge]

Fantastic change recommendations imo! Especially lamplighter to 5 making sense with Sonya OTK's and brewmaster mage without totally nuking the card

[kevinphillips]

Glad to see these type of videos from you again. (opinion on the state of the game) They have been missed. Thanks!

What a trip it has been. Here I am in 2024, 5-6 years after I last played Hearthstone and eagerly waited for each Kibler video, finding myself being recommended this video and considering getting back into the game. Ah, the nostalgia for those days of quest paladin and Frostlich Janna, slow, controlled and fun games of Hearthstone

You're 100% right, Brian! Exactly my thoughts! Hope the ones who must hear you will and act. Enjoyed listening to you

I kinda wish they'd make a sweeping set of changes about how the 'graveyard' works in Hearthstone, I kinda hate that you're able to resurrect a minion multiple times (or resurrect multiple copies of it) when it has only died once.

As always, spot on meta-analysis and recommendations from Kibler!

[FidelCashFlows]

Haven’t watched your videos since like 2015 you’ve def look wiser haha but glad to see one of the OG HS creators still around.

[BearvsTrout]

Very well-articulated analysis as always, good one B!

[jayp]

100% agree with all of your key points. Thank you for iterating it so well and I hope the devs see this.

[daltonrandall]

Extremely well thought out and articulated perspective, and I happen to agree with all of it. I really enjoyed this video much more than the mindless gameplay videos… I hope you do more analysis-type stuff. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Lamplighter at 5 is how it should have always been. Is fairly powerfull for a neutral burn card and is a great finisher still. And then will be less easy to bounce it to your hand or even throw two of them in the same turn.

[Arcticfox]

God kimbler this is why your great you have said all the things i have been feeling in an acurate and easy to understand format while being articulit and concise.

[Brock]

great suggestions! Blizzard pls listen to this man

[yyzaxe]

Haven’t played the game in years but still enjoying the content. Keep on keeping on 🤙🏻

[elbardo_lux]

the think about ticking module is that it is also used paired with perfect module for an anti-aggro zilliax, and your change would kill that one.

[Cuestrupaster]

Holy shit, this was awesome... it's so refreshing to hear someone having more tame and logical takes instead of the crazy out of this world takes that the community has... who would guess that people who play the game for a living have the best ideas on how to balance it...

[leethackeray]

Keep up the great work, Brian. Love hearing your thoughts and seeing your gameplay
