  • Prickly Pigs, the Lore of the Quilboar - Traversing Azeroth

    Yeah, I'm planning on updating this soon after we get any official releases, characters, or cards from Blizzcon. It's quite mailable for them atm, like you say. 

    In terms of the War of the Ancients books, I actually haven't ready them myself yet, but know the basic story from my research on the wikis. What I can tell you is that it's a time travel story across a trilogy of books where three modern WoW characters get sucked back in time and need to make sure that nothing happens to change history and cause the Burning Legion to win. I'm certain there are sections talking about the wild gods, although they would likely be referred to as the Ancient Guardians since I don't think the term "wild god" had been coined by the story writers back then. At any rate, they are a major forces in that war and you likely could learn more about them from that time period. 

  • Prickly Pigs, the Lore of the Quilboar - Traversing Azeroth

    Thanks Goliath! At this point of Hs history, they can take all this lore and turn it into whatever they feel like.

     

    Are those Wild Gods - War of the ancients covered in those books? I've been meaning to read them but never started.

  • Test Your Legends of Runeterra Knowledge With This Trivia Contest

    Talking about the legs of Shadow Isles champions, Spider Queen Elise has 9 legs instead of 8 in her full art. Probably a mistake on the artist's behalf but once you see it you can't unsee it lol.

  • Ra Rogue

    I'm working on this deck to make it an otk deck with synergies towards one plan. I'll keep you updated.

    EDIT : Nvm, I don't think i can come up with something good

  • Dean Ayala's Community Q&A #6 - Reworking Starting Experience, Shadow Priest, Commander/EDH, New Rogue Hero This Year

    Quote From Zelgadis

    Maybe they'll bring back Tar Creeper? That's not removal, but it does help defend against aggro.

    Tar Creeper back in standard would be amazing!

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    Nope, nope and nope.

    Anomaly is the word, but not that anomaly.

    Asides from that, stop thinking too much in elementals.

     

    Edit: Didn't see the post of @anchorm4n it is Cosmic Anomaly, not the final answer but part of the riddle nonetheless. 

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    Pro

    Alright, so it is Cosmic Anomaly we're starting out with. I'll check for Spell Damage +2 then.

    Billy is Celestial Emissary because he has 1 Health

    Tommy could be Azerite Elemental who went against Gorehowl, one of the most famous blades in the game

    Johnny is Cosmic Anomaly

    And if I add the Elemental tag to the filter, that leaves only Imprisoned Phoenix. Is it that one?

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    I'm guessing Billy is Leeroy Jenkins and we know that Johnny is Cosmic Anomaly. These cards both rotated to wild at the start of the year of the Phoenix. This is similar to having "fallen". I'm not sure about Tommy but I think the answer will be another Year of the Raven card linked to "face to face". Is it Face Collector?

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    Ok, so Johnny is an Arcane Anomaly and Billy probably has 1 Health (headbutted a whelp and died, so died to a 1 Attack minion, unless this is one of the collectible whelps... and why “headbutted” specifically?). Tommy is the biggest question here, there are a LOT of blades in the game which he could’ve died to...

    for the sake of guessing, Master Oakheart?

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    I freaking loved that train of thought! 

    But sadly no, you're on point that they all have something in common and with the anomaly, though is not that one.

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    Pro

    I'd start out with Johnny, because there are only two anomaly cards in the game: Cosmic Anomaly and Arcane Anomaly. Assuming all the "fallen" have something in common, my first guess is that they are all "arcane" minions with the Elemental tribe. There are only six of them.

    Billy, who headbutted a whelp and died, might be Arcane Artificer who went against Twilight Whelp

    Tommy, who went against a blade, might be Arcane Tyrant who fought against Blade of C'Thun or Nightblade (I'll ignore Weapons for now, there are far too many)

    Johnny is Arcane Anomaly (see above)

    That leaves us with Arcane Devourer, Arcane Amplifier and Arcane Servant.

    So this is probably all wrong, but it was fun. My guess is that the person speaking the toast is the master of them all who is left with his servant, Arcane Servant.

  • Riot Comments on The Recent Changes to Runeterra's Card Frames

    Where did those pictures of German Aphelios come from? The new one is on a white background, and the old one is on a black background.

  • New Shurima Card - Destined Poro

    I'll feel more comfortable if it said "When summoned" but anyway seems a pretty strong Poro card and in a Poro based deck it can also be meta-defining. I'm excited with this one and for the versatility that it can provide.

  • New Shurima Spell - Ascended's Rise

    Quote From OldManSanns
    Quote From Topandito

    I could be wrong if the levels are important enough for a deck....but this seems crazy weak and it seems like it would just be better to focus on leveling the characters through whatever means they require rather than play a 7 mana card that basically skips that turn.

    I think it depends entirely on the strength the Ascended. E.g., paying 7 mana to instant-level something with say comparable to L2 Aurelion Sol, Maokai, or Zoe would arguably be worth the 7 mana alone, and then you make serious progress towards your Restored Sun Disc and enable things like Devoted Council too. On the other hand, if the Ascended are more like Riven or Zed in power level, then those added benefits from won't be enough to justify the cost of 7 mana.

    Totally, I don't know why they planned revealing it first instead letting us know what a Ascended is but right now seems a little bit weak.

    I have the feeling that they will blow us our mind later when a Ascended is revealed but for the moment I don't see any point for feeling that this is a strong card.

  • A Site for Hearthstone Sounds - HearthSFX

    Will you be adding hearthstone spell sounds as well?

    I am thinking of making a hearthstone cartoon shorts

  • [Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

    Nice!

     

    "Here's a toast for the fallen today

    Billy headbutted a whelp and died

    Tommy went against a blade, that didn't end up well.

    Johnny was an anomaly, he barely survived.

    And here I am, face to face with you."

     

     

  • cards that desperately need a buff

    1 and 7 are admittedly unituitive but both aim at creating turrets with 1 additional health in their way (because barrier turrets usually get chumblocked) and 1/2 turrets are just slighly better than 1/1 turrets. 

    And you are right: Heimerdinger keeps his weaknesses but performs overall better which is the idea of a good buff imo:  make an archetype better but keep it's weaknesses so it can exist in a meta without getting overbearing. 

  • Speculating on the New Hearthstone Core Set - What Should We Expect?

    As an arena player mostly the core set is a huge upgrade to how its been. Getting fewer choices of cards that buff totems for example och dust Devils helps a lot and also the random pool of spells witjin each class will probably be more relevant so randomly generated spells are better. They fixed some of that with discover so you mostly dont have to pick old spells but onyx dragon that gives 2 random spells will now be so much better.  Really looking forward to how it affects arena and if it will help more people feel its relevant. We've been the laughed at outcasts so long now i hope we'll get some redemption. 

  • Weapon Duels Warrior!

    Think Nitro is a nice fit, but Upgrade feels a bit too weak in general. I also can't imagine going in without Brawl, as sometimes it's the only out if somebody highrolls into a huge threatening board. 

  • Duels Token Demon Hunter

    I like where you are going with it. Cult Master definitely belongs; I would look at cutting Chaos Strike and Haunted Creeper primarily, then there are a few more considerations. Dire Wolf could prove to be more versatile than Parade Leader. Can't visualize all potential cards off the top of my head. 

  • 7 New Shurima Cards Revealed for Runeterra's Empires of the Ascended Expansion

     So, which champion has the easiest level 2 requirement in other regions? Teemo? Diana? Katarina.. Wonder if it will be viable to "cheat" those cards with an easy level up champion

  • Riot Comments on The Recent Changes to Runeterra's Card Frames

    Will need to get used to it, but I think it's fine, if zi didn't knew cards I wouldn't notice the watermark it makes them more obvious they belong to X region. 

  • Riot Comments on The Recent Changes to Runeterra's Card Frames

    Bad changes imo. If they're making further improvements, why release this half-baked and controversial update now?

    With units, nothing actually changed.

    While the new icon's design may be subjective, text still covers the art just as much, but there's now a large empty space at the bottom.

    While some spells such as Tri-beam Improbulator Card Image do not have overlapping text and icon now, the speed is still redundantly displayed twice. For differentiating those, we already have the icon, color and border. And (conveniently) it takes away as much space as the region icon.

  • What do you consider BM within HS?

    Reading from replies, I assume BM is "Bad Move", so if it is then
    - Roping is one of them.
    - Another is when your opponent wait until near the time out to execute their lethal but you're unsure if they have it.
    - Another would be opponent emote of saying something like "That's a Mistake" of what I played. And it kinda feel good when I can turn the table and win.

    But for the most part, is opponent adding me as a friend and bad mouthing me coz I owned the game and quickly remove me from the list. That's why I never accept anymore friend if they are recent opponents.

    Wait, turns out there's more than just that simple question. Well, I had my own highlander deck which consist of every tech card that can answer every situation. Armor removal, Anti Secrets, Anti Deathrattle, Weapon Removal, Board clear, Anti Ressurect Priest (like Magtheridon to add useless minions), Silas, plus zephrys if it's lack something else.
    So far, I'm not proud of having a 25% winrates, but I love how opponent sometimes concede in the middle of game because I counter everything they did. I don't know if it's bad move or not, but I'm loving it.

  • Riot Comments on The Recent Changes to Runeterra's Card Frames

    If their is one thing I have learned from playing CCGs for a long time: I don't care about card arts, card aesthetics, boards, cards backs and what not. I kind of want to but I don't. 

    So I really don't care about region icon placement and frames.
