You also get an ashe deck after logging in for 7 days..
upgrade means a random loot just became better for you (instead of giving you the random upgrade, they are telling you that it got upgraded so you feel more lucky).
avoid? actually nothing.. you can do whatever there is no wrong and right.. it's not hearthstone if you craft a deck and it gets nerfed first of all the nerfs are not that harsh, also you have enough resources to craft ANOTHER deck shortly after.
The main reason I like it is that I just like playing big minions, which this deck does to an extreme. But with Mecha'thun as a backup win condition, you're not powerless against heavy control opponents.
I also like the fact that it uses a quest that does not see a lot of play; I regularly get a "wow" emote back after I play it.
I wrote a long guide for it, so if this list piques your interest, please click it to get the full story.
This is pity. I believe I made a fun card, but unfortunately I had no idea (and there is not even a single mention) where or how should I enter my card. I posted the pic (on first page) but it is most likely not enough. Rules shoeld be clarified to participate for new visitors
Sorry to hear that, but on the "Submit your card page" it does say that you need to make the card with Hearthcards and then upload it from your computer. We do not have a dedicated system where you can create it on the site as of right now. We could potentially try and make that part more visible, since there is at least one person each week who just uploads a picture and thinks that the submission form is actually a card creator, which is not. We'll see what we can come up with.
The problem is, that the main page did not mention any secret page where the cards should be submitted. I have first (and most likely last) try on card creation and just see my steps:
- I opened this discussion point, where you present the theme, rules (only rule is that this is not a regular competition) and dates.
- Players are posting card images in discussion
- So I posted my submission entry in discussion
How can someone know, that these submissions are not valid and the only way to enter is to find a secret page where the cards should be submitted?
At least you should mention that there is somewhere on a page hidden a link to submission page? I believe, that when you click on the image with the competition name (which I did not know is a clickable object and not just an image) will lead to the secret page. But this is only my guess, as now I found out to my big surprise, it leads to voting page.

What's better than countering cards as a control deck? DISCARDING YOUR OPPONENTS CARDS BEFORE they can play them! Woe to OTK players in particular, as Gnomeferatu, Skulking Geist, Rin, the First Disciple and the Howlfiend + Treachery combo are in this deck, waiting to ruin the opponent's hand or deck.
This was a favorite of mine for the year it was in standard via Kobolds & Catacombs, and it got a second life in wild last year when I saw J4ckiechan reviving the concept and succeeding with it. I tinkered with his list and it's been in my rotation since.
Even in losses, there's a bit of glee that makes you look past the L when you see the Howlfiend + Treachery combo go off and your opponent's vital cards go up in smoke. I've actually turned on music for the extra evil laughs -- Disco Inferno and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture fit the bill.
There's a delicate balance of trying to get as much defense and managing health and hand size, while getting the board set up for the Howlfiend + Treachery combo or when you think your opponent can't effectively counter Rin, then safely walling yourself as you play her ritual cards.
This isn't a strong enough deck to carry you to legend in Wild, but it will make the journey on ladder more interesting, and it also works for some tavern brawls.
When I'm exhausted from a string of losses on the ladder, I turn to this 'no-brainer'. Win or lose, I know I'll have fun with the resurrection shenanigans. I don't like polluting my resurrection pool so no Barnes for me.
I feel this deck is the most fun I ever had in card games, it seem to have no tools to deal with anything but it does do work.. cause it draws so much!
you never feel out of steam and TF is my favorite runeterra champion! I barely ever play him in league (I played Fizz waaay more (level 6 btw)) but tf is so much fun to play.
the reason this deck runs 2 fizzes is cause I don't have the third it's probably better to have a third.
I've played since open Beta so I'm not sure if they've changed something with the official launch, but after completing the tutorials you had three different pre-constructed decks: Ionia/Piltover&Zaun (with Jinx & Zed), Noxus/Shadow Isles (with Elise and Darius), and Demacia/Freljord (with Braum, Garen, Lux, and Tryndamere). During the launch celebrations, you were also rewarded with a fourth deck, Freljord/Shadow Isles (with Braum, Ashe, and Tryndamere). I haven't heard of any other preconstructed deck existing. As far as I know, the decks should be the same for everyone.
Topandito already explained upgrades: the card was supposed to be a regular copy of that rarity but randomly upgraded into a wildcard. And as they mention, chests/capsules can upgrade as well but I don't think you can see the upgrade text then (or maybe I just click through everything too fast).
I don't think there's anything special you should avoid as a new player. I fully recommend playing through all the tutorials as they teach all the mechanics but after that you're free to play what you want. Aggro is very much viable, and you've chosen a good region combination for that. Here's an example of a top tier aggro deck:
Burn Aggro
A Runeterra Deck created by
neonangel. Last updated 6 years, 4 months ago
Burn aggro is not even that good. I win against it at least 50/50, regardless of the deck I'm playing.
The trick is that you use every possible opportunity to remove their ability to deal damage. Throw anything and everything under the bus to prevent nexus damage. They run out of gas really fast, and then their deck just doesn't do anything anymore.
Having any kind of healing in your deck also helps.
Side note: Burn Aggro already got nerfed, like less than 2 weeks ago.

Reno Shadow Priest has been my favourite deck ever since Reno was added to the game, when Reno Shadow meant running two copies of Shadowform!
This deck is my favourite because Priest's control tools give you a good shot at surviving the early game, the upgraded hero power lets you save your board clears for genuinely full boards, and the win conditions are so much fun! I have definitely won games off of Kodorider and Confessor Paletress before.
I don't actually have Zephrys yet, so I run Power Word: Shield, for the synergy with Wild Pyromancer and Shadowreaper Anduin. Tournament Medic is another fun card to run in this deck, as is Recruiter.
I'm not gonna say anything in regard to how to play or what to avoid since I'm not that experienced myself. I believe I know what the upgrade label means though. If I'm not mistaken it is referring to the fact that at random rewards can be improved as they are given to you. For example a card that was rare might be upgrade into a rare wild card or a rare wild card might become an epic wild card. I've had chests even get upgraded from Silver to Gold before.
Looks like I need to craft Raza the Chained so I can try this list! How does this fare in ranked play?
Well, last month I managed to hit Legend with it (forgot to take a screenshot then, but I will take one now, if I manage to reach it this month), but I don't consider it to be a good ladder material. Things like Chameleos, Thoughtsteal, probably Archbishop Benedictus and Madame Lazul are unnecessary. Popular Raza Priest decks concentrate on winning rather than stalling the game. They also use Potion of Madness rather than Shadow Madness, cuz it's cheaper, and they run more card cycle, in order to get to their win-condition faster. The combo itself (Anduin and Raza) is still very strong, so you won't regret crafting the latter legendary. If you care more about winning, then I'd recommend you pick a popular Raza Priest deck. If you want to have fun while laddering and you don't mind doing it slowly, then you could use the list I shared above.
Btw, even if you take a popular Raza Priest deck to the ladder, be warned that it will still lose to some popular meta-decks like Quest Mage (we don't have taunts) and Mecha'thun Warlock (that deck cycles faster than Raza Priest).
I was talking with my brother today, and he has a pre-constructed deck that I don't, and vice versa. But I completed the tutorial and challenges and there doesn't seem to be a way to unlock more. Are some of the unlocked decks random?
Also, what does it mean when a wild card in my rewards is labeled "Upgrade"
Lastly, anything a new player should avoid? I tried building a full aggro deck with "Legion rearguard" and "Patrol Wardens" among others. But I'm not sure if these type of deck are viable in this game.

Welcome to Runeterra (and this site)!
I've played since open Beta so I'm not sure if they've changed something with the official launch, but after completing the tutorials you had three different pre-constructed decks: Ionia/Piltover&Zaun (with Jinx & Zed), Noxus/Shadow Isles (with Elise and Darius), and Demacia/Freljord (with Braum, Garen, Lux, and Tryndamere).

Wild · Even Warlock · by DoubleSummon · 6 years, 4 months ago
My favorite wild deck is even renolock, there are 2 reasons:1
1.I play for a long while, and I have been accumulating highlander legendaries.
2. Warlock is my 2nd most played class (after paladin) I just like how many options the class has.

Burn aggro is not even that good. I win against it at least 50/50, regardless of the deck I'm playing.
