  • Solving the "???" Mysteries of the Phoenix Card Back Achievement in Hearthstone - Solve the Barrens Mysteries

    Have you played WoW? you are able to generate lore-friendly names for characters. I'm willing to bet half of the lore-friendly blood elf names all have those letters in them. Not to mention that legion was released 5 years before the current expansion.

    The cost of this shouldn't probably be higher than 3, because for me it's strictly worse Frost Nova, as long as there are no ways you could force enemies to attack. You're giving your opponent choice, so if he decides to attack, that means it's worse than freezing his minion, he wouldn't attack it he wouldn't profit from it, as long as we don't take misplays/bad plays into consideration.

    Did someone get the drops for the Masters Tour? They said it could take up to 48 hours. I thought the drops come with the patch, but they did not. 48 hours are over now.

    Instantly after reaching the required watch time, just like with Week 2 of Grandmasters. Only GM Week 1 was slow for me.

    Just another case of Mage rage...

    My goal has been to get to Diamond 10 with a meme Control Hunter (deck in signature) and Mage is obviously a rough match-up.

    I'm at Platinum 4 after a losing streak and queue into a Mage who doesn't get the nut draw so I actually have a chance.  I have him on the ropes at 6 HP with no board while I have 16 HP, mankrik's wife with 5 health left, a 1/1, and two 5/5 golems with Lifesteal.

    He plays the hail mary Solarian Prime and the first 4 spells are just some minor board damage and a secret, but the last one is Potion of Illusion which allows him to play another Solarian Prime with his 1 leftover mana crystal.  Naturally, the second Prime casts Refreshing Spring Water as well as another copy of Potion of Illusion which allows him to play two more copies of the Prime card and a whole bunch of bullshit ensues.

    At the end of it all I'm left with a 3/5 on board and he's still at 6 HP so I figure I got a chance so long as one of his 3 randomly generated secrets isn't Ice Barrier.  I push face and luck out as there's no barrier and he's down to 3 HP.  I still have 2 copies of Quick Shot in my deck as well as Tracking and Barak Kodobane in hand.  However, my hopes are for naught as both fail to find Quick Shot and I lose to a Mask of C'Thun the next turn...fucking Mage man...fucking Mage.

    Update:  After purging my salt here I went on a 3-game win streak and got to D10...thank you lucky salt thread, thank you!

    First idea. It discourages the opponent from attacking you, else you get an army of taunts.

  • Solving the "???" Mysteries of the Phoenix Card Back Achievement in Hearthstone - Solve the Barrens Mysteries

    So what if it is a board secret... but not just the Forged in the Barrens board?

    Celestalon said it's harder to do on mobile, than it is on desktop. First that comes in mind is the League of Explorers board secret. 

    Bear with me. The secret can be triggered on both desktop and mobile, only it's waaay harder on mobile. But it can be done!

    And maybe it's not the LoE's theme you have to play, but another song they just put into the game.

    So this might be a bit far fetched, but who knows?

     

  • [67% WR] Tempo Priest!

    Suggested replacements for Teron and Nameless One? Maybe Rally? or Veilweaver?

  • Cards We Would Like to See Nerfed in the Upcoming Hearthstone Balance Patch

    I'm not sure now, maybe there is a difference between "would like to see" and "think it should". But it was the should part I was talking about, not the will part.

  • Solving the "???" Mysteries of the Phoenix Card Back Achievement in Hearthstone - Solve the Barrens Mysteries

    Must be related to Star Aligner. This card was given during Blizcon 18. And 06/01/18 is referenced in the image by Celestalon. Maybe we need to change our system clocks to that date and do something with Star Aligner?

    Yes, it is bugged and being looked into by Team 5. Aside from unable to claim any hero portrait, the calculation is also a bit off. It currently says I am at cumulative level 466, but it should be 468 instead (350 + 118 = 468). I guess they have not tested this new feature properly, but that is the "quality" of what we have seen for quite a lot of recent patches now unfortunately (notice the the growing list of bugfixes).

    Yeah, I´m "missing" two levels as well, might be what AngryShuckie said about not counting the starting 1st lvls.

    I can´t claim the second tier Hero as well (I´m close to 350 total lvls), but I´m sure they will fix it sooner or later :D

    You can first claim the 2nd hero at lvl 400

    You should get the second tier hero for every 200 lvls, but it´s bugged when you´re already past the first 200 - the first achievement is marked as claimed, but you can´t choose the hero. Here´s the tweet from Celestalon:

    "We're aware of the Tavern Regular achievement starting out already claimed for people with >200 levels already. Working on a fix!"

    The new Region Road levels are giving me cards from old sets instead of the new one! Is this happening to anyone else?

  • An Initial Look at Irelia and The Other Cards Coming to Runeterra This Week

    I don't think that player are sleeping on how good Leona can be. Her problem is how linear her play style is. You want to play Solari Soldier turn 1, a Solari Shieldbearer or another Soldier turn 2, a Solari Priestess or another Shieldbearer on turn 3, Leona on the 4th then Rahvun, Daylight's Spear on turn 5. Daybreak as a mechanic is less flexible than nightfall, which why Diana is more popular.

    One thing I noticed with your Kael'thas Sunstrider and Al'ar references is that all the letters for Al'ar can be found in KT's name. So perhaps there is a word scramble in play? (probably not, but I don't know). Here are the remaining letters:

    KETHSSUNSTRIDE

    Not my favourite tavern brawl, but one of my favourites types. Always happy to see random deck brawls.

    Quote From sule

    Board state is thus: Opponent (of course it's paladin, is there any other class?) has two big Kazakus golems and a 3/4. I have a Kazakus and a big Kazakus golem with lifesteal. Opponent has had Steed secret up for most of the game; I've been very patiently playing around it and it's worked out well so far. The only other secret played this game has been an Oh My Yogg! Last turn, my opponent played a Secret. To play around Oh My Yogg! (because of course I have to play around a second copy), I target my big lifesteal with Psyche Split (What's the worst that can happen? I think). Well, the second Oh My Yogg! turns Psyche Split into Malevolent Strike, which (you guessed it) targets my big lifesteal instead of any of the other minions on board.

    Related: Can anyone confirm whether Oh My Yogg! picks new targets for spells? I swear I've played other targeting spells that had their targets change post-Yogg (and often to my detriment).

    It is indeed supposed to be random. never seen it fuck my opponent over for a change thoug

    Who said we liked random stuff this much? Is this the same guy whispering into Blizzard's ear all throughout the year of the dragon?
