Any body hear that? It's a, um... It's an impact tremor, that's what it is. We're fairly alarmed here. And those tremors are coming from gargantuan dinosaurs, elementals, and fauna because we are going on a journey to Un'Goro in Hearthstone's next expansion! Blizzard (and some talking heads in flannel shirts) announced the next expansion, two new keywords, a new minion type, and previewed multiple new cards this week. The TAC crew dawned their explorer hats and blazed a trail through all the latest announcements surrounding the game. Cont...

The Year of Mammoth is coming to stomp out Jocelyn's hopes for a Unicorn-themed Standard year. Team 5 made many announcements about changes coming with Hearthstone's second Standard year. The Hall of Fame is a new moniker that will be given to Basic/Classic cards that are moving to Wild exclusively, three full-sized expansions will release this year, Adventures are going away but single-player story content is coming for free, a Wild Tavern Brawl is on its way, and we're getting a new Rogue hero. The TAC trio also discussed the latest Developer Insights stream, the size of the Hearthstone development team, and a Dragon Priest deck aimed at making pirates walk their own plank. Cont...

The crew also covered Aggro Pirate Rogue (which you should get in your games with while you can) and took a few emails from the TACpodcast@gmail.com inbox. Cont...

The Angry Chicken may be a little burnt out on Pirates but that's not stopping them from playing them in their Rogue decks! On this week's show the TAC crew talk about Ben Brode's recent Reddit post, how Hearthstone apparently made a ton of money last year, the Winter Veil card back returning, the latest version of Miracle Rogue (spoiler: there are Pirates), and round things out with emails from the TACpodcast@gmail.com inbox.

Dills, Jocelyn, and Garrett also break down the latest version of Control Warrior and take emails from the TAC inbox. Cont...
