Hearthstone – Gimmickathon!
Hope you all had a great holidays! I’ve taken some time to relax and play some BAAAD Hearthstone with my cousin on his Youtube channel. How bad? How about losing to some gimmicky decks in a Gimmickathon? Some of the decks were actually quite good, and the synergy worked well. Personally my favorites was the…
