If i'm not mistaken, we are only getting ONE new region in the next 120+ set of cards, with the second new region coming later this year, and if the Season Road is tied to ranked mode (which is 2 months long) then i think we should "normally" get the season road exp going on right after next week official release.
still going there just because it has a bigger user base is a mistake. go to reddit for that. here its a more serious and actually competent site run by the original mods that made that website famous within HS community.
if the ppl that made it what its is left, then why stay there? any institution is made by ppl not by some physical structure. its very essence ceases to exist if those who made it leave. unless they are replaced by equally competent ppl. of that im pretty sure they didnt accomplish
I'll do you one better: Firebat looks like he's straight from the cover of the debut album of an 80s rockband whose only successful hit was a sappy love ballad.
True that, I'm just a fan of cut-throat humor. You'll find that I'm not a harasser, nor was I there, so I'll try not to come off too brazen since yeah I was an everyday poster on hearthpwn but it's behind me now. xskarma is a lousy moderator in my opinion. Tired of walking on eggshells around there. Thanks for all the welcomes : D
@Xarkkal, I like Stray Arrow the best. It really fits hunters style, and it is also super balanced. I it also very interesting to play around, do they drop a small minion to protect their more valuable minions, or do they attack and then play their minions in case it is Explosive Trap? One thing though, would this trigger if there is only 1 adjacent minions? That would fit with how cards like Cleave and Multi-Shot work, but it would also make it super easy to play around by just attacking with your minion to the far left/right of the board.
You may not necessarily want to attack with one of your left/right minions first if those minions are ones you don't want to trigger Freezing Trap. Plus, if you play minions first before attacking because you were checking for other secrets first, you may not have a minion on the edge to attack. I think it adds an interesting additional layer to tricking your opponent in combination with other hunter secrets. It wouldn't necessarily be the first secret you check for.
I'm thinking that yes it would trigger with only 1 adjacent minion. Which is the cards big downside and almost made me have it deal 4 damage instead. But, that also then makes it up to the player to use the secret when they have the potential to get the most value out of it, (like any good Secret player should do).
All that being said, I'm probably not submitting this one, as I feel it's potential and interactions take a lot more time to think about than the amount of time people give a card while voting on it. While going through 20+ cards voting, you need the card to stand out a little bit. And something that seems balanced, underwhelming, and possibly really easy to play around at first glance probably will get voted a lower score than if people spent more time thinking about the card. Idk, I'm just making assumptions on how people vote at this point. I try and put some time into thinking about everyone's card before making a vote, but I know there are times I make a determination too fast before thinking about all the possibilities.
Keep in mind we will likely not have access to Season Road from the moment of expansion release. If I had to guess we will need to level Bildgewater and Mount Targon to 20 before we will access the expansion. Which is nice because that will give us a boost for the new cards.
Wish I'd looked in this thread before submitting my card, but here's Swindle:
Rogue always appreciates cheap cards for activating Combos, so Swindle kind of handles that for the class. Plus, if Secret Burgle Rogue ever becomes a thing, this would fit nicely with that deck. I decided to make it Rare because it's fairly easy to play around, but has a high ceiling. This is also my first submission ever on here. Thanks for looking!
Well you'll find quite a few of the people here happy to have left the mire of HearthPwn, and the admins are in no way tyrannical, so welcome.
I hope you have learned something from your bans however, even if they were heavy-handed. If nothing else "Nozdormu is racist against mobile players" is less helpful than "Nozdormu is unfair on mobile players" and its mere wording does provoke less measured responses. Why even open yourself up to comments about the use of 'racist' when you are posing a genuine discussion about game mechanics?
So, uhm, some of you already know, that I managed to hit Legend in wild in the first week of this month. I already expressed what I thought about the new ranking system in the respective thread, but I would like to continue my story.
Quest N'zoth Priest was my main deck for a long time now, but since it didn't feature that many new cards, I wanted to try out something new. I also got tired of the Quest Mage wild meta, so I decided to switch to Standard and explore more what the game had to offer. My first legendary from packs was Reliquary of Souls and I wanted to play it. I didn't have a clue how to build a deck around it, so I copy/pasted Regis's deck:
But I felt like there weren't enough synergies with the aforementioned legendary, so I crafted Activate the Obelisk and cut Galakrond in favour for it. After reaching Platinum, I made some adjustments to the deck - I added Renew, Skeletal Dragon (I had to craft both copies of it) and Sandhoof Waterbearer and today I did something, which I considered unthinkable in the past:
Show Spoiler
I managed to hit Legend in both formats in the same month. In the previous ranking system I would have never done that, because it would have taken me too much time and it wouldn't have been rewarding at all. Tbh it's not like I got something extra from doing it, but this time I just did it for the journey itself and I really enjoyed the deck I played. Hitting that HP constantly felt really good - it was really strong in the control vs control MUs.
They will not remove the gold reward from Casual. And even if they do, all it would do is make people incredibly angry. I don't think anybody is playing T-1 decks in casual just to farm gold. It simply isn't practical. If you have a 60% win rate, and an average game takes you 10 mins, it would take 8 hours of playing before you earned 1 pack, which would probably only contain 40 dust. Why would anybody want to do that?
I don't mind T-1 decks in casual. Casual is casual, play whatever the heck you want.
I mean, their biggest counter just got demolished so naturally they're going to perform a bit better.
Honestly, this whole DH domination thing is probably going to continue and they'll keep making small changes here and there to get the class into the spot it belongs in. This was clear from the start and they been pretty blunt about it.
It's rare when one of my homebrews takes off so well. Easy climb to diamond and I'm looking forward to going higher. Not only does this deck overwhelm everything out there but it is an amazingly fun ride- there are several win conditions and you never know which one will seal the deal.
Still needs a little fine-tuning so feel free to give any suggestions, but definitely treat yourself to a couple games of it.

I'm not the biggest expedition player--I think the format is fine, but personally I only want to play when I can do both trials in one long uninterrupted session so I often end up just playing normal constructed games for daily XP--and lately I've been procrastinating so much that my stock of tokens from the weekly vaults has been starting to accumulate. I was going to try to play catch-up this weekend, but then I thought: what if it would be more advantageous to wait until the release?
The expansion is coming out April 30th, and they've said it will include 120+ new cards. Currently, there are 318 unique collectible cards (6 regions, 53 per). Now granted, they have not identified how exactly rewards will differ after the expansion releases, but even if they just intermix the new cards with the current cards that still implies you'll have a ~25% chance of each card being new. Plus there's the whole season road: if you can apply your XP progression towards that, then doing the full 3 expeditions/week means that you should get a quick burst of progression.
Pretty sure I've gotten drops every time, even the most recent drops, with muted sound. But then again I'm doing that on iPad and not muting the stream, just the device.
I mean...if you have a history of trollposting over there they're not gonna be lenient with you forever.
However, you probably won't have this problem here, as long as you don't post dumb shit excessively. Also the mods are rather talkative and will usually give warnings when they think you're showing concerning behaviour.
Basically, as long as you check yourself when you get called out for something you should be fine.
