  • Budget Hearthstone Decks to Round Out Your Ladder Climb

    What is this game ? is it new or something?

  • Runeterra took over 2 hours to update

    Mine was over in like ~5 minutes--longer than normal, but not nearly as long as yours.

    Have you tried restarting your PC, or perhaps right-click -> Run As Administrator?  My guess is that there's a single task that the installer is hanging on, and they didn't make it robust enough to time out properly.

  • Budget Hearthstone Decks to Round Out Your Ladder Climb

    I love the Tempo Demon Hunter decks simply because so many of their cards are FTP, most people will be able to use them to climb

  • Budget Hearthstone Decks to Round Out Your Ladder Climb

    I think that dragon hunter/face hunter is really good for this last minute climb with all the rogues and mages i find.  Still on Diamond 4 hoping to get to the orange gem. Good luck to my fellow ladder-man out there!

    There could have been a problem with the update, it was launch day after all, have you tried doing that again since?

  • The 'Scouting Ahead Challenge' doesn't make sense.

    make sure you only attack with scout units, THEN attack with all units.

    Why not just go full Murloc? You're basically running a deck that risks bricking early and drawing garbage late just to run highlander support, which just isn't worth it.

    I would imagine most wins might be from likes of Bloodlust, so maybe it is :)

  • Rising Tides Theorycraft Decks From Top Streamers

    Yeah, im looking forward to that combo :)

  • Invincible card?

    I saw it been used in heimerdinger Vi and if you are unprepared for that card you just loose. 

    I mean Ionian decks will very surely keep Ionian will in their lists, detain is a good but unreliable removal and obliterate is more exclusive for bilgewater so far making it hard for the majority of decks/regions to do anything against the unstopable unit (champion).

    However it is very reliable now to win even before turn 10 with any unstopable kill combo @KarmaEzreal so that the invicibility comes in that late that it is actually "balanced".

     

  • Archaeological Deck - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread

    OK, I've changed up the card a little. It's a bit cheaper and now only shuffles a copy into your opponent's deck. Again, the uses are kinda niche, but I feel like if it was printed people would experiment with it and I'm sure some meme deck would arrive.

     

    Is this any better?

    Also, my computer is not terrible, it was able to download and play hearthstone in a few minutes 

  • Invincible card?

    So it's more vulnerable than i thought! Do yo think it will be a good addition to a fiora deck? It's also a fast spell, which may be a good way to give a better "barrier" during a fight.

  • Bamboozle and imprisoned Minion interaction

    Posted about this a few weeks ago too.  A bug ticket was already opened on Blizz forums around launch so we"ll see what they do about it, if anything.

  • Archaeological Deck - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread

    @grumpymonk thanks for the feedback! If I may defend Siqara (seen as it’s the one I went with), there’s actually quite a lot of cards this synergises with: Both Ambushes, Shadows (those that summon a copy of a minion), The Darkness, Bombs (with Seaforium Bomber), Felhound Portals, etc.. Plus, this is a custom emblem, meaning it can be easily imagined as being printed in a set with even more support.

    About your card, there’s not really anything lacking about it as a tech card, so 5 stars!

  • Archaeological Deck - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread

    So, I really didn't think my last card through. Oh well. At least I can cross a meme card off my list of cards to make. 

  • Invincible card?

    Obliterate will work as it works on a different mechanic.

    Converting this to mtg lingo. Kill = Destroy (Card is put into the graveyard), Obliterate = Exile (Card is removed from the game).

    This is basically, indestructible from MTG. Creates can't get destroyed/killed or damaged. However they can be exiled/obliterated.

  • Rising Tides Theorycraft Decks From Top Streamers

    Miss Fortune and Sejuani - two of my mains from League - in the same deck together? I love it!

    Quote From linkblade91

    I noted that some people find it weird that the frog can attack things other than what it pulls, so I made a variant to gauge which is better. Original on the left, new one on the right:

    The new Toxic Longtongue pulls its phrasing from Wild Bloodstinger, as grumpymonk noted. It no longer has Rush because it's guaranteed to specifically attack the minion it summons, for better or worse. As-to why it has 3/1 stats...I don't know, I just picked something lol. I wanted it to have 1 Health to ensure it would die, to compensate for the Poisonous. It's the inverse of Vilebrood Skitterer.

    With the new version, it functions just like a spell that destroys a random minion in your opponents deck.  Maybe change it to Stealth instead of Rush to make it more interactive?

  • Deathrattle Tempo Priest by Chump

    if you're going for tempo Teron only really needs one viable target to be good enough, especially since the idea is to copy him with Shadowy Figure.

    Play Egg on 2, play Teron on 3 and if he doesn't get dealt with your shadowy him.

    The point of the deck is to play deathrattle minions that are inconvenient to remove and then copy them to overwhelm your opponent.

  • Building tempo shaman

    The thing about tempo is that Overload tends to hurt it a lot.

    For instance, if you play a Squallhunter and it gets conveniently removed in any way you are automatically behind because you're playing with less mana on the following turn.

    Hell, even if it lives you're still handicapping your future turn which is what tempo decks usually use to build on their lead.

    What you are building is less tempo and more midrange. You're basically doing the old Hunter strat of just playing on curve until you win the board enough to push facedamage....which was a very inconsistent strategy that doesn't perform well nowadays (play Beast Hunter if you need a demonstration).

    Overall you just don't have anything really unfair in your deck and that's the probllem. Decks nowadays rely on big swing turns and you can't provide those.

    All an opponent would need to completely derail your gameplan is just play any cheap removal and they already got you on the ropes.

     

    The only tempo Shaman I can see is the Evolve Galakrond build and that's notably subpar (which isn't saying that it can't improve with future support. We've seen Evolve get out of  hand, so there's always potential)

     

    As it stands Shaman doesn't really have much to compete at the moment, but they do have a good baseline to build upon

    Edit: Should I make it a Hunter card instead?

  • What will you craft?

    Maokai  and Nautilus are my favourite! I already have a lot of shadow isle cards, so i will definetly try these out

  • Runeterra took over 2 hours to update

    As the title says, it took over two hours for Runeterra to update on my PC. I eventually gave up and downloaded it on my phone and it took less than five minutes. Has anyone else had this problem?
