Ben Brode sat down with Tim Clark of PC Gamer for an interview to talk about TGT, RNG, Esports, and more. We've recapped the important parts of the interview below, if you'd like to read the entire transcript head on over to PC Gamer.

Quote from Ben Brode Deck slots are officially on the to-do list . They want to do the best implementation possible - not the first thing that comes to mind.

. They want to do the best implementation possible - not the first thing that comes to mind. Not all Inspire cards were targeted for tier 1 decks.

Had they of buffed some of the "bad" Paladin secrets, Mysterious Challenger may not have been able to be what it is today.

Secret paladin isn't very concerning as it doesn't kill you in one turn - you see it coming.

They aren't in love with Grim Patron gameplay but not only is it not being played much on the ladder, but it is a difficult deck to play correctly and the win rates aren't at the point of cards they've nerfed in the past.

Power level reasons aren't why they nerf things, it's all about how fun cards are to play against.

Poisoned Blade's intention was to bring back the original Rogue hero power in a more balanced form. It does seem less good if you didn't get to play with it during Hearthstone's beta.

Dragons are in an awesome place right now. Internal Stats Ben talked about some of the internal stats they keep track of. Class breakdowns of grouping of cards.

Individual card win rates.
