  • 7 Remarkable Mages from World of Warcraft Who Deserve to Be Hearthstone Cards

    Awesome article, really enjoyed this read-through!

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

    First spoiler is the way to go, after that you took the wrong direction 

  • 7 Remarkable Mages from World of Warcraft Who Deserve to Be Hearthstone Cards

    yeah your non-magic classes are like, Warrior, Hunter, Rogue...I think everyone else has a form of magic, even the more melee oriented classes like Shaman, Paladin and Demon Hunter have spells

    Someone has way too nice of a handwriting :)

  • TheCupIsMine's Shyvana & Aurelion Sol Dragon Deck List & Guide - Runeterra Deck Spotlight

    This was an awesome article. I hope you update after the grand plaza nerfs and new expansion. I love shyv and dragon decks.

  • 7 Remarkable Mages from World of Warcraft Who Deserve to Be Hearthstone Cards

    I honestly haven't decided. Perhaps hunter? I like to alternate with magic and non-magic ones if I can, but I'm going to run out of those soon, haha.

  • From the Vault - Blizzard Shares Early Sketches of Hearthstone's Packs, Collections, and Arena (Forge!)

    It is always interesting to read about those scrapped ideas.

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

    I got the same order before, using sets of two letters and finding them in each cards name.

    Show Spoiler
    GH-AZ SC-PT-AU-CH-RH
    LauGHing Sister, *I don't know*, DiSCiple of C'thun, Ravenous PTerrordax, Bladed GAUntlet, Dr. Boom's SCHeme, Tundra RHino
    Second one has to be Flame Elemental cause it's the only one left (this was before Xaril was added)

    So I tried looking at the cards again, and in each word where the two-letter combination was, I looked at the letters before the combination (but only in that word) and I noticed this:

    Show Spoiler

    Laughing Sister

    Flame Elemental

    Xaril, Poisoned Mind

    Disciple of C'Thun

    Ravenous Pterrordax

    Bladed Gauntlet

    Dr. Boom's Scheme

    Tundra Rhino

    laufldigs - if you read it out loud, it could be "lawful digs"

    So, finally, what is a word for lawful digging? Excavation.

    Is it Excavated Evil?

    Fair enough :)

  • 7 Remarkable Mages from World of Warcraft Who Deserve to Be Hearthstone Cards

    I think Ashjara would be neat, just to hear her voice lines against N'zoth and Lady Vashj. 

    Diggin these articles, btw, which class are you thinkin' of doing next?

    Hi, Zozoth, first i want to applaud your effort putting it all together well done! :)

    • The set looks cool overall, but as already said, the power level is maybe a bit high.
    • The mechanic, Warped, while definitely a unique one, seems rather weird tho and i dont like it too much. Its basically mostly on taunts, so your opponent can either wait it out or go through a big pile of stats, im not feeling it. I do like the combo with deathrattle, tho some cards with it are questionable.

    Druid

    • I like Nature's Gift, its technically a pre-nerf Innervate, but you need to have 8 MMana to begin with :)
    • Cenarius, Forest Lord: quite an interesting design. Highly overstated, but with a constant upkeep. I like this direction, it could make for other really cool cards.

    Hunter

    • Steelbreaker Alpha feels a bit awkward with Rattlegore being a thing :)
    • Galactic Tyrant Jerkone: this is waaaaaaaay too powerful, Rush means you get 2x3 dmg right away and it can go face. I think it would be ok, if the Death Rays just targeted minions.

    Mage

    • Tome Hoarder: wording should be "Deathrattle: Add 9 random Mage spells to your hand."
    • Cosmic Walker: while you dont have 100% control over when the deathrattle triggers, this is just way too polarizing ability. If you are able to kill it off on your turns, chances are you win the game on the spot. Not fun.
    • Tomekeeping: kinda cool mix of Cabalist's Tome and Deck of Wonders. Might be too strong tho, since Discover.
    • Nexus-King Salhadaar: feels like it could be pretty busted in likes of burst mage, pulls 2nd copies of your burst spells from your deck and shoots em at opponent's face. Me no likey.
    • Kiva, Eternal Arcanist: Now this is a cool card :)

    Paladin

    • Divine Order: Super busted, no other way around that. This could probably cost 4 and be playable.
    • Blssing of Zeal: insane card draw potential even without the +1/+1.
    • Pure Pally support looks ok.
    • Lothraxion the Redeemer: Super cool card and i love the effort to purify all those existing Demons :)

    Priest

    • Shard of Light: way too similar to Soul Fragments. Not sure if you started this before that or not.
    • Crystal Acolyte: kinda a little too easy to heal yourself in combination with this, it could lose some stats maybe.
    • Grand Archaeologist Adarrah: I like this a lot! Cool design :)

    Rogue

    • Highroller's Shiv: cute take on FWA :)
    • Jackpot: I want to say strong, but fair ... but there is always Prep, so ... i dont know.
    • Casino Golem: haha cute.
    • Traveling Gambler: Now this is too strong, it can be abused easily.
    • Secretive Chef: This needs to be a Legendary and even this its probably too good. It gives you 4 cards and with the ability to pick for the situation you are in, waaaay too good. Cannot be anything less than a legendary to not have two copies in a deck imho.
    • Not sure how i like the legendaries, they r both unique in their own way, but can be abused in different ways.

    Shaman

    • Elemental Legacy: Beyond busted, i mean how hard is to fulfill the condition lol. Make it a 4-cost and then maybe.
    • Water Revenant: It can have lower stats, since unless silenced, it will keep coming back.
    • Windcaller: While a cute design, kinda lessens Al'akir a bit, and potentially a bit too strong follow-up with Bloodlust, if opponent cant remove the tokens.
    • Elemental Invocations are strong spells, you treat is as if you get some random willy-nilly spell, meaning you dont account for their value in the generators very much. Each of the generators should cost (1) more mana at least.
    • Zenas: I like the idea of this card, but it might be too strong given the versatility. You have an option to pick a perfect answer each turn, that feels like too much. There would 100% be ppl who would screw the options all the time (hell pick right or left is too difficult for some :D), but for experienced players this would offer an extreme advantage.

    Warlock

    • Seems ok overall.

    Warrior

    • I like Spieshell Brute, not feeling the rest.

    Are you giving each class a "call back card" to previous mechanics or are those "random"? Iv notice a Shrine for Warrior, Hero Card for Shaman, not-Echo for Priest :)

    Anyway, good job and hope to see more from you! ;-)

  • Maiden Voyage of the Exodar: A Custom Hearthstone Expansion!

    Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoy it! I do understand that a lot of the cards are quite powerful, but it is like you said with Blizzard increasing the base power level of cards, and I am just trying my best to keep up.
    As far as Delta Elemental goes, your first assumption is correct, where all spells deal 3 damage and any spell that has a modifier to it set to 3.

  • 7 Remarkable Mages from World of Warcraft Who Deserve to Be Hearthstone Cards

    Always love these list. Nice nostalgia trip for me. I didn't play much mage despite it being one of my early characters. Still boosted it for legion because those class stories were mostly good. The mage one I really enjoy for the Dreadlord activity. Felstorm is a real interesting character and getting More from him in and out of hearthstone is needed.

    Also Arygos, I forgot about that. But more dragons are always welcome.

  • 7 Remarkable Mages from World of Warcraft Who Deserve to Be Hearthstone Cards

    I mean, mage has gotten a lot more representation of major characters than a lot of other classes, so naturally the wishlist for them has to look at some of the slightly more minor ones. I'm honestly just happy I was able to get a diverse set of seven mages here without them all just being from Dalaran, haha.

  • Rogtronic - Ireland's 3rd best Hearthstone content creator! (I don't know who 1 and 2 are but its a safe bet I'm 3rd)

    Statistically the best neutral Legendaries to craft right now!

    I'm not too sure about these candidates, but cool to learn about them nonetheless. Some I'm hearing about for the first time! :)

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

    Nope, but keep thinking on that. You’re on the right track with the X being interchangeable with the Z because of Xaril. Meanwhile, here’s the correct order of the cards (now with Xaril included):

    GHAX SCPTAUCHRH

    Laughing Sister

    Flame Elemental

    Xaril, Poisoned Mind

    Disciple of C'Thun

    Ravenous Pterrordax

    Bladed Gauntlet

    Dr. Boom's Scheme

    Tundra Rhino

     

  • Riven Is Great Patch 2.1.0

    I'm always interested in rebel lists and Taric is a card that people have forgotten about and I personally struggle to play as well.

    Why I usually don't play Arena. 4. Fucking. Legendaries.

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

    The way I understand it, the letters given in the code can be changed to spell the name of a card. And the key to deciphering the code can be found in the cards below.

    My initial guess was to count how many times a letter from the code appears in the cards and then go that many spaces down the line. (For example, "G" appears five times in the cards below, and "S" is the fifth card in the code, so that would be the first letter in the card's name). But that doesn't work since "A" appears thirty four times, and "Z" appears zero times.

    You said that you didn't put the cards in any particular order, but then you implied that the order of the cards does matter. Which leads me to believe we can use the code to sort the cards in some way revealing the answer, but then again we run into the problem of there being no "Z".

    You then said that by adding Xarl to the list you could change the "Z" to an "X". Since "X" is the first letter in the cards name, I get the impression that we could use the card's name to figure the code out, but then again we run into the no "Z" problem.

    However, by adding Xarl you replaced the "Z" with an "X" which makes things more confusing since it implies that certain cards can remove as well as add letters to the code. But if adding Xarl and changing the "X" with a "Z" leaves the answer the same, then the "Z" without Xarl works the same as the "X" with Xarl. But I can't think of any way in which "Z" relates to these cards.

    All that being said, I think the answer is probably Murloc Tinyfin

    Any powerful, high-cost, non-battlecry legendary would probably work. Go nuts!

  • New Freljord Spell - Troll Gifts

    everyone is looking at the new champ aphelios but the hidden champions are some cards like this in the latest patch. Especially the troll chant and gift are so powerful and great value cards. I expect them to be a sure pick in many freljord decks.

     

    In expeditions i find that Troll Chant is one of the best cards you can choose.

  • Very dumb but how to get pets

    keep in mind that Riot and Runeterra liek LoL is based on purchasing cosmetics. This is why you rarely will get cool pets ingame for free. The only pet I got was the blue poro due to my participation of the Beta.

  • Riven Is Great Patch 2.1.0

    I playing currently with a really cool deck containing Riven and Taric and Aphelios. So far it performed really nice on Master Rank. Let me know if you are interested in this sort of deck.

     

  • Celestials - Is It Too Strong?

    Quote From Nifty129

    I posted this when Targon first launched and now basically every follower and champion creates a card at this point.

    Turns can be very long when you factor in that priority usually gets passed over and over again if playing optimally

    I agree... when you play against targon and there are many card creation going on it takes time.

    And to go back to the initial statement "Celestials - Is It Too Strong?" -> I would say no but it is a really powerful mechanic. The last patch didn't touch the celestial mechanics and I think this is fine because they nerfed bigger issues like plaza or miss fortune.

    In general I really like the ability to react on the enemies deck and choose new cards based on current circumstances. But as the opposing player it is really hard because 1) you need to know all the celestial cards in addition to the deck cards 2) you have some great counters in it like Equinox.

    But most of the cards are slow speed which limits the options.
