The Happy Hearthstone

With April in our rearview and our first full month of the Witchwood meta, I'm here to bring you an update on all things Hearthstone! We'll talk through the struggles I've faced this month, and, more importantly, the big lessons I've learned. Let my learnings be your ladder advantage! Note: My deepest condolences to @toastthebadger's family and friends for their loss. Though words can never fully fix or encapsulate the grief I feel, I offer some thoughts at the beginning of this episode as well.
