Hearthstone Neighborhood Kid Copypasta

About

Hearthstone Neighborhood Kid Copypasta is a heartfelt story about how one man was inspired to play hearthstone due to the enthusiasm of a small child and his fascination with tri-class cards. In this copypasta the storyteller recounts an encounter he had with a 6-year old boy while he was out walking his dog.

Origin

The original comment containing the story was made in early 2018 by Reddit user /u/DibbyStein. It was written as a response to a Reddit post made in the /r/Hearthstone Subreddit discussing the rotation of tri-class cards out of the standard game rotation.

Tri-class cards are the reason I first got into Hearthstone. I was walking my dog through a park about a mile north of my house when I came across a neighborhood kid I'd never seen before. He was maybe six years old, flapping his arms like a bird in running in circles saying, "Crystals! Fresh from Kazakus!"
I thought he was pretending to be a magical bird or something, so I said "oh, are you a Phoenix like from Harry Potter?" The kid stopped moving and looked me dead in the eye and in the most serious tone you could imagine goes, "Tri-class cards are a new and exciting feature in the card game Hearthstone."
I talked to the kid for maybe an hour after that. He helped me understand that I needed to give tri class cards a try because of the unexpected possibilities they create. I talked to him about growing up, what it was like, what I struggle with the most.
I never saw him again after that day, but I kept the little purple crystal he gave me before I took off. I still think about that kid sometimes. I wonder what he thinks about the upcoming rotation and how he will feel not having tri class cards in standard. Honestly, I miss him so much and I just wish there was someway to know he was okay.
So, yeah, I think you make a great point OP. Your post hits on something deep that, you are right, people just aren't considering. Thanks for reminding us of that. This community needs men like you in the metas to come.
