Last Week's Poll Question
Do you have any Hearthstone related (or content or IRL goals) for 2025?
- Kaiyalai
- Hearthstone has taken a less active presence in my life as the Everything Keeps Happening So Much factor has been on the rise the past year, and peaked in December, so my goal is humble: get every monthly card back, and a little more ambitiously, enough gold to cover every mini set.
- ElectricSheepCity
- My goal is to be more involved in the Hearthstone community... after grad school (I should finish up in June). I love the HS communities I'm in (this server among them, of course), and when I have more time I'd love to be more active again
- JustAGuy
- My goal is to increase my contributions to the Hearthstone development team by at least 50%.
- Wickedkitten13
- I’d like to get back to doing regular hearthstone content creation again. Hearthcasual ending has left a Hearthstone shaped hole in my heart. I miss laughing over flavour text puns and defending arena every chance I got
NEWS:
- StarCraft mini-set announced
- Comes out Tues Jan 21
- 49 cards (instead of usual 38)
- 3 class cards per class, 5 multi-class cards per StarCraft faction, and one non-faction neutral card, Grunty.
- $19.99 USD or 2500 Gold - For this special Mini-Set, you can also get normal versions of each of the individual factions for $9.99 or 1200 Gold if you just want one.
- HS Esports news:
- Plans for the 2025 esports season are being finalized, we are excited to share more soon! For now, we wanted to confirm that the January ladder won’t count for competitive points.

This week we take a look at the ban of Stealer of Souls in wild then we move into a deep dive into the various versions of Death Rattle Demon hunter!!!
Stealer of Souls will be BANNED in Wild mode after patch 20.4.2 on Wednesday
https://twitter.com/PlayHearthstone/status/1403431995858849794
- Alec Dawson commented on the card when it would rotate to Wild with the rest of Forged in the Barrens via Twitter (https://twitter.com/GW_Alec/status/1403434439145754624): "Current plan is to adjust the card at that point in time and remove the ban. If any adjustments happen to Stealer of Souls before that (ex/ a standard nerf) we'll also re-evaluate its inclusion in Wild."
- Patch notes for 20.4.2 include Stealer of Souls Ban, 2 battlegrounds changes and some

This week is a more somber look at the game but as a show we remain positive and only bring constructive criticism to the table. We also discuss (at that moment in time) The prevalent demon hunter decks in standard.
This week is just a talk about day one meta of Ashes of Outland and we also have an in depth discussion about the new ladder experience from a few different points of view.
What Can I say other than this is a card by card review from our 3 hosts as they rate every single card to hit in Ashes of Outland.
This week Daring Alkaline has fallen a bit ill (nothing serious just a bit under the weather don't worry guys I'm already feeling way better) and Deck Tech steps in to fill his shoes quite well I might add!!! Come discuss what is on everyones mind... Cards Cards Cards.
You can find Deck Tech on twitter @hsdecktech
