    How do you hide things btw?

    There is a button up above that says "spoiler". Press it and put whatever you want to hide inside. It will look like this: [spoiler.]Content[/spoiler.]

  • From Foe To Friend - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread

    Based on feedback and which of my ideas I like the most, I'm probably going to go with one of these three.

    I've played around with the costs a bit.  Hopefully, they're balanced.  Let me know what you think.

    Cragtorr is a decent design.  It might not be the most exciting to some people, but I like it.

    Lyris the Wild Mage isn't really my cup of tea. It's fine, but there's already of a lot of spell generation in mage and this doesn't do anything too differently from those.  

    Plaguemaster Rancel doesn't have much support.  Poisonous minions are already designed to kill anything it comes in contact with, so this functions more as a deterrent to board clears than anything else.  If you're trying to get value, they can just kill this pretty easily.

    You added an extra a between the o and x in Oxana Demonslay.  Doesn't feel like an effect that would go on a legendary to me, and I feel like it could cost 1 more.

    Xur'ios: I like it.  It should say spells from other classes though, as the way is worded right now implies that it only reduces spells from one class if you're holding spells from all different sorts of classes.  I might consider having it reduce the cost to 1, just to minimize the risk of any infinite combos that rise up.

    Generated spells are from the class of your hero.  If you want spells from different classes, you have to specify it in the card text.  I agree with bigcums that this is too good for its cost.

    Dancin' Deryl: So your minions can potentially swap places with your opponent's?  That seems really powerful, especially if you got a board of small minions and your opponent has a bunch of big ones.  

    Icarax dealing damage to heroes makes it seems more like warlock and less like warrior.

    There a typo with Craggtor, it should be Cragtorr.  I like the card.  The second option reads a lot stronger than the first, but maybe it could work in combo decks.

    I don't know how strong Wildtooth is, but I like it.  It can be used as a tool in control matchups that other hunter cards don't really have.

    It didn't occur to me that Kriziki would give your minions to your opponent and that you would get their minions at first.  I don't know how to word this differently but some people might misunderstand the effect.

    Jolene Knottley should say "Discover a copy of a spell" if you're not intending to take it away from the opponent's hand.

    The wording of Magic Mirror seems clear enough to me. It's very unique and I could see some interesting brews.

    You are incredibly ignorant and honestly, if this is your thought process, please don't come back. I don't care how bad of an outcome that may be for the website, this simply isn't the type of community we're building.

    These types of words and when they get spread by morons is the reason why people are out visiting beaches and having house parties. They take uneducated responses as facts and then end up doing damage.

    Yes, shit sucks for a lot of people and some need more help than others to get through it. Stay in touch with your friends and family to make sure people are doing alright. There's plenty of online resources for people that need mental help, they're a Google search away.

    Stop. Spreading. Retardation.

    Don't reproduce.

    I could get behind that Conjure effect.  I think it would be awesome.

    Honestly, if the online "something" is more accessible than actually going to Blizzcon, they may end up making  more money... which as a business is what they are about...

  • BlizzCon 2020 Has Been Cancelled

    .04%? Do you mean, like, .04% of the total population of the state? California has a low death count so far because they did a good job of KEEPING people from getting COVID.

    Last I heard, New York City had lost more than .25% of their population to this. And since most of the city still hasn’t gotten sick, the death toll is somewhat higher than that.

    Besides, the focus on death rates is misleading. The thing that scares ME is all the survivors who are now injured for life. This causes strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure, reduced lung function, and who knows what else.

    I really hope things can get back to normal soon. Most places have stayed steady since starting to reopen cautiously. But large public gatherings are going to be the very last thing to come back. I’ll be really happy if I can visit my friends again and run down to the local store without worrying. I can wait for a vaccine before I go to another convention.

  • Multiple Secret Lair Drop Series Announced Today

    It's not that hard to learn a second piece of artwork. . . plus, there are words all over the cards. . . plus, you're the one putting the cards in your deck, I would imagine you know what it is. . . 

    I can't imagine why this would be a problem. . . hell, you have plenty of time each turn, especially in HS, i think maybe you'd have time to read the cards if you're actually engaged with the game, if for some reason you can't remember anything.

  • BlizzCon 2020 Has Been Cancelled

    I'm with you for the most part. I understand that it's a good occasion for people to meet up with their online friends IRL and get some cool exclusive stuff, and there's nothing wrong with that if that's what they want to do. In terms of announcements, though, I agree that you can simply read the announcements and get the same effect. 

  • BlizzCon 2020 Has Been Cancelled

    So stop  living life for the .04% chance you could die from something, makesmakes sense.  Nevermind 35% show no symptoms when they catch it. Keeping everything shutdown kills people too. So many suicides and drug OD have occurred too thanks to the SIP.  People need jobs. Think about all those waiters and waitresses losing money because of closedown conventions. sorry but the govt cannot afford to keep giving people paychecks.  We were lied to, they said there was going to be a a deathrate of 3-5 percent. That never materialized.  

  • BlizzCon 2020 Has Been Cancelled

    Even that is a Digital only event this year.

  • BlizzCon 2020 Has Been Cancelled

    Oh no, they cancelled another annual AAA vanity fair. Whatever are we going to do? Read the synopsis of game announcements without the PR bullshit it comes wrapped in is what we're going to do. We don't need Blizzcon any more than we need E3 or Pax. All we need is for developers to just present their games honestly without all the (false) advertising crap. Don't need to wait in lines for that.

    I think this is a bit too good of a reloading tool, especially for rogue given that they have cheat 1 drop generation. The fact that it generated spells in a specific range makes it pretty reliable and scary since most cheap rogue spells give a lot of burst damage. I think this should only work with your minions or the enemy minions .

    I have to admit, I forgot about Galakrond and the Lackeys. But I meant random spell as in 'from any class', was that not implied clearly enough? This would make the cards harder to spend, while also advancing Burgle rogue.  As it stands, you're probably right, about too many small minions, but on the other hand Galakrond rogue often has to many resources, clogging up the hand. I'll have to give the small spells a look over to see whether getting a random hand full off them would be OP.

    Sad news but it's the right move, safety first. Also I was expecting it after Dreamhack cancelations. 

    I think Gamescom 2020 is the only large video game convention left standing.

    People aren't worried about Coronavirus because they might die, but because it spreads so fast and unpredictably. It isn't just about how bad catching it is, it is also about how likely you are to catch it and then spread it to who knows how many people.

    Ca has a .04% deathrate for covid. Seams like overkill, but whatever as long as they still have the expansion announcements that is  the main reason blizzcon is exciting.

    Just because something is unlikely to fatal doesn't mean that it's sensible to just stop all safety precautions to avoid getting it. Even if people end up surviving Covid, they will still have gotten sick from it in the first place and possibly spread it around.

    Here's a handful of ideas I came up with today:

  • Stuck at Diamond 5. Like, really stuck.

    Reached D5 - 2 weeks ago, and had arranged a gauntlet of Decks, around 4 different to tackle the climb to legend. After every loss decisive loss i would change the deck and try another one. Got multiple times to D1 with 3 stars but then losing the matchup without any chance. These plays were not in vain though, knowing how the different decks playout und what is essential in which matchups helped understanding making decions with the deck that finaly brought me to legend, Highlander Mage. It is a Fun deck to play and even the worst matchup, Hunter can swing from dire to win in an instant. The comeback mechanic of Puzzlebox / Amazing Reno makes it possible. The legend try from D5 to Legend took 75 games with a record  46-29. Most losses were against DH and Hunter, post nerf losses were against hunter only. In the End stick to your preferences, play mindless aggro, thoughtfull control or midrange which can be both depending on your start. I have chosen mage because of the comeback potential turn 6 and later which makes it more likely to play out until the end as with some other decks you can concede if you lose board and lifetotals of opponent are to high.

  • BlizzCon 2020 Has Been Cancelled

    Ah sad news, but it's a sensible choice.

    I hope the virtual something can be satisfying enough.

  • BlizzCon 2020 Has Been Cancelled

    Damn... an event in November. More than 5 months ahead and they've gone and canceled it. That's really rough. Although it's understandable, so they don't have to let down ticket buyers. Usually, tickets are available to purchase in May, but that was delayed because of them deciding whether it is worth the risk, and they went with the safe route. Respects to them.

  • Stuck at Diamond 5. Like, really stuck.

    I don't have any great advice for the OP but I just wanted to say good luck in your quest for first time legend. It is nice that it's only 15 stars from Diamond 5 to legend compared to the old 25 from 5 to legend. Not that I've gotten there yet myself either.

    I've been running Dragon Hunter this month too for much of the climb and I've made it up to Diamond 3 before falling back a bit. It's fun when it works and not too frustrating when it fails as long as I don't run into five priests in a row.
