I will never get tired of it. Ever.

Back from Fiji!

And let me tell you, I miss it like none other.

Silana Village, you were too kind to me. Even with the roosters crowing at 3:40 in the morning, and the dogs barking whenever they pleased, and the frogs pooping in the middle of the room, I wish I was back on base. Being with 30 other people, all who come from different places, have experienced different things, and have different plans for the future was amazing. There's so much to learn from everyone (and lemme tell you, I learned some key German phrases) that I wish I was back. And my class at Navunisea District School was the best. Super sassy and sweet, and eager to learn.

See you when I see you, Fiji.

Mech Mechanics

Hi! I was curious about how many Mechs had various "mechanics" - taunts, deathrattles, battlecries, etc - so I created an infographic with the "mechanic" and then pictures of cards that had aforementioned "mechanic" underneath. Enjoy!

Hearthstone Mech Stats

Hi again!

So last time, I analyzed a single card. This time, I'm going to be analyzing a specific "race" of cards - specifically, the Mech cards.

Background
Mech cards were added in the Goblins vs Gnomes expansion pack, and since then, there have been many "Mech decks" created - mostly with Mage. Part of what makes the Mech deck so fun to play is the fact that there is "substantial synergy" (quoting the Hearthstone Gamepedia here). And unlike other races, where it is advantageous to have as many of one race on the board as possible to create the maximum synergy (who can ever forget the days of the Timber Wolf + Starving Buzzard + Unleash the Hounds combo?), Mech synergy requires there to be only one friendly Mech on your board (Cogmaster and Goblin Blastmage, I'm looking at you here)

Mana Curve

    As you can see, unlike the overall minion mana curve, which was a left-centered bell curve, this one seems to have less structure, with the most minions around the 2-5 mana cost.

Looking at the extremes, the 0 mana minion happens to be the "Target Dummy" taunt, which has 0 attack and 2 health. The 12 mana minion happens to be one of the Giants; called the "Clockwork Giant", it has 8 attack and 8 health, and costs one less for every card in your opponent's hand. Oh, this would be magical against Priests.

Legendaries: There are 7 legendaries, not including the V-07-TR-ON, which is formed from another legendary + 3 mechs. That is a scary, scary minion.

Now I've realized that other than the graph, everything I've said is better said on the Gampedia site (and there are pictures of the cards), so tomorrow I will be doing a more in-depth analysis on Mechs (perhaps, even, create an infographic for the Mech class)

Unstable Portal Analysis

Hi all!

So the graph I did yesterday was an initial, exploratory analysis on all Hearthstone cards. Today I decided to work on analyzing one card - Unstable Portal. I also decided to go ahead and create an infographic, because why not?

Initial Hearthstone Analysis

Yes, I know this graph is ugly, but I'll fix it tomorrow.

For, now I just wanted to see if I could actually do it (hint, I can. Although installing things is annoying)
