Noxious Attempts to Balance the Most Broken Cards in Hearthstone
What are the most broken cards in all of Hearthstone? , , and . Despite the fact that there are now more than 700 official cards, chances are those are the first three that came to your mind. And while no one isn't arguing that they aren't the best drops given the mana cost, but there will always be a conversation as to whether or not Blizzard should go as far as to nerf them. Complexity's Noxious attempts to balance them all.

Ranked Player Spotlight – Fibonacci
Month after month Blizzard posts the Top 100 players from each region. Aside from the usual professional players and streamers that you see on Twitch, they're basically faceless and only identifiable by name. But Blizzard has done something cool for Fibonacci, a player who has consistently finished among the top ranks of Legend each month. It's always nice to get a peek behind the BattleTag helping everyone give his handle a face, name, and personality.

Blue Tweets: Animated Armor was Neutral, Shuffling a Card Shuffles Your Entire Deck, & More
We're glad to let you know there's a good chunk of blue tweets to share with you this week. Though there's always the usual (looking at you buying card backs) we also have a look at what happens behind the scenes in Hearthstone. Recently, Ben Brode took to Reddit to explain that used to be a neutral minion, but it had to be limited to the Mage class due to the ever troublesome which Brode admits has been relatively limiting. In addition, cards like , , and don't just shuffle that one card into your deck, they actually shuffle your entire deck in doing so. We take a look at exactly how Blizzard explains it.

Second Take: The Druid Combo
A couple of weeks ago we took some time to discuss the Druid Combo of and . In it we highlighted some pro player comments, touched on ramifications of changes, and proposed solutions. There's a lot to consider and it's a pretty meaty read, we had SpaceWizard take a look at what our community had to say and offer his own opinion on the matter.

Ben Brode and Dean Ayala Talk About Creating the Discover Mechanic
It's always cool to get some perspective on some of the challenges the Blizzard team faces when dealing with creating new content. The League of Explorers focused around the new Discover mechanic which allows players to add one of three randomly selected cards to their hand. As we've...discovered over time, the selection pool is limited to your specific class and those that are neutral with a much higher chance of class cards being displayed as an option. Recently,
IGN
posted an interview with Lead Designer Ben Brode and Associate Designer Dean Ayala to discuss the rationale behind the release.
Video of New Artifact Weapon Models, Black Rook Hold and Ravencourt Zone Preview
Legion Artifact Weapons have a vast array of unique styles and tints. While we've been previewing these fairly regularly with our modelviewer updates, Artifact Calculator, and transmog recommendations, we had a bit of exciting news this past Alpha update. Several weapons have additional datamined appearances, implying there may be six available artifact styles.
Will this be a special sixth style players can unlock from difficult content (perhaps Challenge Modes)? Or are they replacement models for some old Artifact designs? The Artifact Appearance system is not yet active on the Alpha so we can't confirm how these styles will be used. Perhaps these models will simply be unused, although we hope the sword that resembles Thunderfury makes an appearance.
Below is a video with high-resolution models of the new Artifact styles. The full post also contains screenshots of the new artifact styles, as well as a preview of the new dungeon Black Rook Hold.
