I only got into LoR recently, and coming from a hearthstone background I'm alright with discover based mechanics.
The main thing that gets on my nerves is that I feel like I'm playing the game at half speed. I know the timer still works as intended and time taken is time not banked and all that, but it still feels like my opponent is dragging their heels as they painstakingly use their entire turn to try to find micro-advantages between the cards provided.
Maybe its just growing pains of being new, or the timeframe with the recent event making more Targon decks crop up. Whatever it is, It's eroding my enthusiasm for the game.
Thanks! I just published my first original deck on here too- Dragon Rally-din... for extremely large scaled individuals.... lol- check it out if you like.
Hey everyone, I’m working on a concept that’ll introduce the guild system into hearthstone. I have a few ideas on what to include but I want to hear from you all to see what you’d like to see in a guild system for Hearthstone. Such as; Guild Roles, raids, rewards, benefits, rivalries, and anything else you can think of.
This project will probably be a bit larger than my other creations Tables, and The Tavern Renovation so it’ll be a while before it’s actually posted.
"Climb aboard, for the greatest vacation in the universe!"
Once a grand vessel for the Draenei, this dimensional ship suffered a crash and lay dormant for centuries. It used to function as the home of the Draenei, but ever since their relocation the ship has sat there, empty...until now! Rebuilt and refurbished into a wonderful cruise ship prepared to give its guests a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable journey to their destintations!
What destination you may ask? Well, that's where you come in! Ten lucky guests who received our special tickets at random will be able to choose a destination from our wonderful selection. So pack your things and prepare for adventure and wonder as we embark on the Maiden Voyage of the Exodar!
Expansion Mechanics:
Warped: Like a reverse Dormant, this keyword gives the cards a 'count' which causes them to die after the number of turns specified on their text expires. Also like Dormant, the counts will begin at the start of their controlling player's turns, but taking place after any Start of Turn effects.
Travellers: The 'class cycle' of the expansion similar to Schemes or Projects. These are among the many guests on the Exodar, excited to see what adventures its destinations have to offer. But like most vacationers, they never leave home unprepared! All of these will draw a spell when played, and have an additional effect depending on its Cost, allowing for some strategy during deckbuilding.
The Cards:
(Author's Note: Formatting might get a bit tight with how I uploaded these, so I have included imgur albums with the individual cards. Just click on the class name to get their corresponding album!)

Neutral Cards
All journeys have their potential dangers, and travelling through the void of space is certainly no exception! But do not worry, dear guests. Our staff members are trained not only for your enjoyment, but for your protection! So sit back, relax, and enjoy everything this cruise, and this galaxy, has to offer!
Common:
Rare
Epic
Legendary
Note: The class borders are simply for flavor and do not affect which choices the player will get when they play Astra. Players will always get a choice from three of these ten cards.
Bonus Stuff
With all Blizzard expansion releases come a plethora of bonuses! Here are my takes on how those would be should this expansion be 'a real thing'
Preodrer Bonus: Yrel Paladin Hero Skin and 'Lightforged' Cardback (Already in game, but does fit Yrel thematically)
Celstial Coin: Awarded to Players who have at least one copy of every card in Maiden Voyage of the Exodar set!
Battlegrounds Heroes: Space travel takes a long time, so some of our guests (and a staff member!) Have joined the Battlegrounds to entertain themselves on our journey.
Final Author Notes
Well I hope you enjoyed the Maiden Voyage of the Exodar! I've been working on this project off and on with fellow designer Mega-Pixelover the last few months. Huge thanks to them and their design of the Logo as well as a ton of cards on here. Space-based expansions are a rare sight, and I wanted to go for a unique theme rather than Mechs and Sci-fi. Hopefully everyone reading this enjoyed everything it had to offer and found some cards they wish were in the game. Stay tuned as Mega-Pixel and I are working on a mini-set similar to Darkmoon Races.
If you do like the cards, you can also check out another Expansion Mega-Pixel and I collaborated on: Crusade of Light
-The expansion have been out for 4 days only, it's too early to be taking about impact.
-Kegs didn't get any new card this expansion.
-Dragons have been playable their release but that was never a great deck and they got one of worst card from this expansion.
- Troll gifts is a pretty good card that works well with both Braum and Trundle. Some players are even experimenting with it in Tahm Kench/Frosbite decks.
I was specifically referring to newly released cards and their impact. For example gluttony is just one shadow isles card and it's revitalized anivia. Powder monkeys got a new card, kegs got a new card, dragons got a new card and they are all playables. I was just a little dissapointed we arent seeing anything similar from this region.
---------update------------
Just in the effort to be fair and balanced this is a scargrounds list mogwai put together
I'll see if it can be beefed up a bit and I'll get back to all of you
I've gotta say that this deck is a lot of fun. I don't know if I've just been lucky in my match-ups, but I've somehow managed a win streak. Oh My Yogg was the MVP of my last game against a Warrior, changing a Brawl into a Blessed Champion and casting it on my Secretkeeper.
Hey, thecupismine! Thanks for such a great deck and the kind words. I've incorporated your comments into the original article above.
I'm very curious how you're finding The Grand Plaza in this deck now post-nerf. It's obviously still a very strong card, but that 1 extra HP was often the difference between a dragon surviving to gain a fury proc and just dying. On the other hand, almost every other Round 3 option is just bad -- the "best" alternatives are probably Solari Priestess and Fiora, both of whom feel more like Lose-Slower cards than the stabilizing force you need as you start dropping your first dragons. (Not to mention Fiora contends with A Sol's spot.)

I hate priest. The goal of a priest deck is to tilt opponent not win the game.

If they tie up these cardback to the lunar year bundle i'll be happy to buy it.

Congratulation to all competitors. Serpents is my favourite.

Huh, finally a bunch of decent non-symmetrical card backs.
(And that's probably the main cause these ones won.)
