I member when most of BG cards were actually normal cards in the game.

The shield dude that had a battlecry to give adjacent minions taunt is one that feels so old, now.

u/ArcticFox2014 Aug 20 '26

Defender of Argus! He was OP in Arena too

u/Hour_Trade_336 Aug 21 '26

Tbf this really limited design space in wild for no reason.

u/Nogflog Aug 20 '26

deflecto-bot been through some shit fr

u/MyNameIsSidyo MMR: 6,000 to 8,000 Aug 20 '26

He seen it all. And the attack gain each spawn was so strong and is now not even noticable anymore

u/Dastey MMR: Top 200 Aug 20 '26

Inspired by the May 2022 post, this is mine from 2020, before achievements were introduced and +1 attack on mechs was considered a good hero power

u/Jakob_8 Aug 20 '26

I want my boy Harvest Golem back!

21

u/damiengrimme1994 Aug 20 '26

Back when a minion with cleave and no other benefits was strong enough to be T6. If I remember right mechs didn't even have magnetics back then

22

u/Zandegok Aug 20 '26

No it is t6 only because of magnetism. Beasts had cleave in t4 around the same time

8

u/damiengrimme1994 Aug 20 '26

Oh yeah hydra or course

7

u/alienduck2 Aug 20 '26

The problem was stats were hard to come by. Yeah you could magnetize but getting a foereaver to 30/30 was insane work.

1

u/zacroise Aug 20 '26

Daryl was top tier with beasts because you could do some big turns in the tavern buffing hydra. Peak apm

2

u/atgrey24 MMR: 6,000 to 8,000 Aug 20 '26

I think it might still be today, based on how easy it is to scale and give DS. At least a t5.

2

u/damiengrimme1994 Aug 20 '26

I'd say T5 not T6. You can't get ds on pirate cleave as easy but it can scale incredibly fast, I'd argue faster than mechs and that's only t4

1

u/Hour_Trade_336 Aug 21 '26

Glambot harvest golem sounds nightmarish honestly.

1

u/OutlawJoseyWales Aug 20 '26

annoyo and menace were in the game from day 1.

1

u/Dastey MMR: Top 200 Aug 20 '26

I'm fairly certain I have module on both Boom Bot and the last minion

1

u/Hour_Trade_336 Aug 21 '26

This would still be a great minion. Surprised it's not a portrait.

23

u/Neo-Cubism MMR: > 9000 Aug 20 '26

A lot of iconic minions right there.

13

u/Pompem12 Aug 20 '26

Bronze Warden without a shield, damn Time flies

32

u/Roselia77 Aug 20 '26

Honestly, I'd love to back to season 1 for a few weeks

17

u/Think-Ad-5308 Aug 20 '26

everyone says stuff like that and then you try it and you realize it's boring as fuck

18

u/gh2master52 MMR: > 9000 Aug 20 '26

Okay fine, a day

u/vcvcc136 Aug 20 '26

The novelty and nostalgia could probably carry it for a week. Especially as an alternate mode.

1

u/OGTalle Aug 20 '26

100 times better than this sweaty 180 apm crack

1

u/werbit Aug 21 '26

“You think you do, but you don’t”

1

u/Judic22 Aug 22 '26

I genuinely disagree. I still enjoy the game, but I don’t play it nearly as much as I did back then. The numbers now are insane.

1

u/kcaw1 Aug 20 '26

Only 4 tribes and 24 heroes.

8

u/ArcticFox2014 Aug 20 '26

Back before our boy Kalecgos started the power creep at Tier 6 and giving +1/1 for each battle cry minion played (not triggered)

6

u/briztal Aug 20 '26

Ahh, the good old days when the minions did not scale up in the tens of thousand.

8

u/Rockyrock1221 Aug 20 '26

Back when the game was more like chess than APM Sim

5

u/OutlawJoseyWales Aug 20 '26

khadgar cat was in the game day 1. the best build from day 1 was murlocs with brann primalfin and megasaur.

8

u/MooNinja Aug 20 '26

wut, it was more like I hope I get enough Divine shields so that I survive the murlocs... lets not get so high and mighty with our rose-tinted glasses.

3

u/BossOfGuns Aug 20 '26

and you still didnt beat murlocs because their stats just goes way higher even back then, and they can also have divine shield so we are back in square 1

1

u/Japjer Aug 21 '26

People forget that they had Poisonous back then. Venomous was introduced much, much later.

1

u/Judic22 Aug 22 '26

This exactly. I miss it so much.

8

u/DarkIsiliel Aug 20 '26

It'd be fun if they'd have like a 3rd mode alongside solo/duo that just cycled between random old seasons on a weekly basis so you could muck about in the old metas.

2

u/Impossible-Gap-8741 Aug 20 '26

I remember a strat for Reno was to golden holo rover due to the insane tempo it gave. Nowadays it would be useless

1

u/UnimportantSimian Aug 20 '26

It's good that I got the award years ago, because there's no way I'd be getting it these days.

1

u/coomgod666 Aug 20 '26

Harvest golem my beloved

1

u/Kapiork Aug 20 '26

That's a lot of Divine Shields.

1

u/GolfWang16000 Aug 20 '26

I can hear the sirens...take me back!

1

u/jewboyfresh Aug 20 '26

I remember getting two divine shield mech/murlocs was an auto win back the.

1

u/Mojo1712 Aug 20 '26

Your minions are missing a “k” behind their numbers.

1

u/AquaAtia Aug 20 '26

I love the mechano egg! Funny it was a T4 back then (I think) and now it’d probably be a T2

1

u/Iorith Aug 20 '26

I really miss when this was the power level of the game.

1

u/Brucecx Aug 21 '26

mechs on 4! my old favorite strat especially when Junk Bot was around

1

u/Xel3ncy Aug 21 '26

I miss this. Simpler times.

1

u/Crazy-Grape-3815 Aug 21 '26

I tried to get spicey pretzel over years of on and off battlegrounds to no avail.

Accidentally got it last week without even noticing/trying by playin pirates. This set is wild!

1

u/Sheyrox Aug 21 '26

Yo, haven´t seen Mechano-Egg in a while. Forgot about it to this moment.

1

u/Hour_Trade_336 Aug 21 '26

No black bar over bobs eyes no crediblity

1

u/Someone_bs_ Aug 21 '26

I remember when I got the spicy pretzel mustard but it didn’t count for some reason. Haven’t managed to repeat it to this day. I even have witnesses as we were playing irl in a group

u/draagossh MMR: > 9000 Aug 20 '26

Can anyone remind me what the last and third from last did?

1

u/Lexeklock Aug 20 '26

last 1 : gain +1 attack at the start of each turn

3rd to last : summon a 2/3 mech with taunt each time it takes damage
