How fitting that this review of the Shadow Isles was made on Halloween. Speaking of which, the trailer for the Ruined King game was released on the same day, which combined with the poetic teaser gives undeniable proof that the Ruined King himself will finally get a major role.
I've tried a very similar build before, but my main problem with it was just that it's too fair. You're fine keeping up with your opponent until they do their broken stuff, and then just can't compete anymore. How does this list fair in that way?
They will probably end up nerfing the other classes twice before touching Hunter.. its unbelieable that class has recieved so little nerfs in proportion to their power level.
What is it with gamers and pins? I go to conventions, there are pins, gear stores, pins, roommates' shelves, pins... are there secret gatherings where elite grand wizard gamers wear hats made out of these magnificent trinkets?
The last time pins were relevant clothing attire was in Catholic suit-and-tie middle school. I get that people like to collect things, but pins are the least cool small metal collectible. Coins, stamps, earrings, nail files, pencil sharpeners, cookie cutters, Hellscream-brand weiner chokers - sell me anything else!
HP didn't do an oozefest did they? They only focus on Hearthstone when OoC does multiple card games. You can also see all the love and care that goes into OoC, that's why I moved sites. I barely look at HP these days.
Just keep doing what you're doing Flux and co, the ppl that matter notice the site, like how Blizzard sent Flux those awesome Scholomance gifts
Solid card, I don't really see any downside with it. Dealing 3 damage for 2 mana with extra effects is good (see Soul Shear). I think this can slot into any Druid deck/archetype, but we'll see.
Really scary card. Druid has a lot of abusable, high-powered cards that this will augment even more. Just doubling Overgrowth is going to be huge, especially with all the other ramp tools the class has now that could make that possible even before turn 6. Assuming we get new beasts, Guardian Animals might be a good pairing with this too, though that might be too slow.
Bottom line is, this card could potentially enable some sick, meta-defining combos. Let's see how the rest of the set shakes out.
This looks pretty good, reminds me of a mini (and I mean really mini) Spirit Lash. What's good about this is that it dilutes the 1-mana pool of DH to lessen the chances of getting Twin Slices and Consume Magics even more, and yet it's a useful card in its own right. Could be slotted in either an aggro/midrange or control build, should we ever see the latter in DH.
I'm not too high on the power level of this card. While the payoff is powerful, it feels incredibly slow because you have to pay 20 mana to get the full C'Thun, so that's a total of 30 mana for 30 damage randomly split among all enemies.
Control decks will undoubtedly love this, but it could also dilute your deck because the pieces of C'Thun, while potentially useful tools in control decks, are mostly bad to mediocre for 5 mana.
Don't get me wrong though, I think this card will be exciting to play. I do enjoy control decks that thrive on long, grindy games, and this is the perfect card for those. Maybe this can slot into the current Control Shaman shell as some late-game bomb since that deck's survivability is high, and of course, a Control/Big Warrior package.
It feels like it has been a while since we've had a winner that didn't come out first place in the first voting round. So I was wondering if that would change if the finalists got displayed in random order on the second voting page. Might be worth a try in season 3.
Again lots of work this week, but I'll drop this here and would be grateful for feedback. I'll reciprocate as soon as I find the time. Just one thing: Wailor will get 5 stars from me if they submit the Gru card.
Create deck guides, post them on the internet and spread the word!
It's tough to compete with a site that has had a presence for 7 years, and when you spent most of those years making it the go-to place. It is hard to get people to go anywhere else since it is ingrained in their mind that's where they need to go for decks.
Plus, HP is filled with vote manipulation and always has been. We used to do an okay job at combating it but I would not be surprised if the new people never bother to look for it since all they care about at the end of the day is people clicking around on the site.
I'm a champion, I'm a rider and knight. I'll lead your detachment into a fight. My fur makes them stronger and unite. I just need a bit help from your side.
Astromancer Solarian's Deathrattle shuffles your deck. Any card that shuffles something into your deck will undo Polkelt's effect. This is intentional according the devs, to make the deck feel more like an actual deck of cards.

Unexpected victory, but I'll take it! Thanks to everyone who voted.
I guess I'll have to come up with a fun theme for next week, no pressure...

Regarding the forums, I'd also like to add the good old "quality over quantity" argument. Hearthpwn is 90% shitposts, if you pardon my French.

Darkmoon Rabbit
I'll have to look for flavorful art (maybe the one KANSAS used for their Street Magician some weeks ago?) and look up the Rabbit lore.
Question: If the tokens are called "Bunny", does it have to be "Bunnys" or "Bunnies" on the original card?

Decks on Hearthpwn get like 50+ upvotes but on here it's a miracle for 10.
Why aren't there that many people here and how can we get more?
Vladimir rework.
Personally, no, but some YouTube videos have caught my eye..

Has anyone tried Crimson/Soraka/Star Spring?
I just now thought of this as a possibly very interesting idea to explore.

Some idea, probably better than Voidcaller in certain circumstances.

The only regret I have from skipping most of that year.
