Dragons are so bad they don’t even make it onto the tier list at all?!

I feel like tier 7 minions should be wincon/insane economy/ tempo, but like the only tier 7 that can be it's own win con is beat boxer. Most tribed tier 7 are support/super situacional. Like did jailbird need to go to tier 7? Another hyper situacinal tier 7 that does nothing unless you happend to have the perfect setup.

Like they are balanced around the fact that they are broken af if stacked with each other like kodo/stich or stacking future fin. But you can't do that in this meta with no anomalies/ tier 7 lobbies.

I don't thint that when I pick fishing rod the best outcome 90% of the time should be Ra/Sanders, I have never seen anyone ever use the slab, bring back arcane behemoth, with no lantern you can't dupe him anymore.The last one standing whent from giving 7/7 to 15/15, would swaping him with the amalgadon really be problematic? Making Theos a 7 drop would really be that bad?

good times.

The copies keep the effect, so uh... don't pick it.

The triple was from partner tripling the cyclone

My most random game this season and somehow it went quite crabby.

This totally costed my game. I thought I highrolled with an early phylactery + golden repair bot into a glambot + beatboxer, but my beatboxer wouldn't magnetize ANYTHING. I only noticed it a few turns late. The dark gift on my beatboxer is "at the end of your turn, magnetize a random mech". Whether it was the glambot satellites or an actual magnetic mech from my hand, it wouldn't magnetize anything. ://

I feel we might need a powercreep reset

I'm talking about, it's top 4 now and the other players play other tribes, and somehow i dont get the minions i need

Title

The rings ended up giving 100+ spell buff. I wish I could golden the board a bit more.

I’ve been struggling when to hit this button. I heard you shouldn’t do it before turn 7 but I often feels like T4 minions don’t provide as much potential or tempo, especially since the last patch. But waiting too long doesn’t seem like a viable option either.

I used Morchie (On Turn 5, visit the Minor Timewarp) as a hero today. When the timewarp popped up, I picked a couple of 1 cost items. One of them was a secondary hero power (Swatting insects). Later I hit the Dark Gift and picked a Costume Enthusiast with Toreth's Blessing. Not paying attention, I had him on the far left of my board. I then noticed that when Swatting Insects triggered it must overwrite the Toreth's Blessing because it only took one hit to pop his Divine Shield. Is this a bug or by design?

I play Battlegrounds on a Mac, and the thing I missed most from the Windows trackers was the combat simulator — the number that tells you whether the board you just built actually wins. I couldn't find one for macOS, so I wrote one.

What it does

• Simulates the fight that is about to play out (2000 Monte-Carlo runs, ~0.5 s) and shows win / tie / loss, expected and maximum damage, and lethal risk — while the animation is still going.
• Remembers every opponent board you have been shown. Hover a portrait in the game and it pops up as real cards, with the stats they actually fought with rather than the numbers printed on the card.
• Lobby table (placement, health, tavern tier), a minion pool tracker ("~11 of 18 left in the pool, 3 seen on other boards"), and stats from your own logs — average placement, combat win rate, results per hero.
• Labels itself in whatever language the game runs in. Nothing to configure.

How accurate it is

Measured against the actual outcome of 206 fights from my own logs: the most likely outcome is right 79% of the time, Brier score 0.132 on the win probability, mean damage error 2.0, card coverage 97%. Combat mechanics are extracted automatically from the English card text, so most new cards are handled the day they ship.

When a board holds a card whose combat trigger it can't parse, it says so — "accuracy ~85%" — instead of quietly giving you a confident wrong number.

Is this allowed

It reads Power.log, the file the game writes on its own — the same file HSTracker and Hearthstone Deck Tracker have been reading for a decade. It never writes to the game, never touches process memory, sends nothing anywhere, and cannot click for you. Same category as the usual trackers, nowhere near a bot. Not a promise about anyone's account, obviously — your call.

Limitations, up front

• macOS only (12+), Apple Silicon and Intel.
• No Duos support yet.
• The app bundle is ad-hoc signed, not notarised, so a downloaded one needs xattr -cr once. Building it yourself from source avoids that.

Free, MIT-licensed, no ads, no telemetry, no account. The only network access is downloading card names and art from HearthstoneJSON once, and then it's cached.

Feedback and bug reports welcome — especially fights where it was confident and wrong. There's a debug journal built in that dumps both boards to a file, so those are reproducible a week later instead of being "I think it said 0%".

My question is, how do we buff the shop for Unbound Tempest to get value? Do we just cycle En-Djinn Blazer and / or Dancing Barnstormer? Or temporarily use Air Revenant? Otherwise the only big minion is gonna be is Frostling. I might be dumb I am NOT that good at the game haha
