Interesting! It’s cool to see the archetypes taken down so many paths! IMO, the only mandatory card so are 2x Nagrand and Call, 2x Spiteful and 1x Archivist. Second Archivist clogs up your hand and can whiff but not having 2x of both spell makes it super inconsistent
I think that the main problem with Ruination is that it can be cast on turn six with Spell Mana. To fix this, maybe Runeterra could introduce a keyword that means “this Spell cant spend Spell Mana” and give that to Ruination, so that it could only be played on turn 9. Maybe to counterbalance that, it could have its cost reduced to 8 Mana or something
Sounds unplayable tbh. ATM It is ok, is a slow spell for 9 mana.

I was going to report this in the other thread, but it looks like the importer adds the values rather than replaces them. I had manually entered my collection before, then after I did the import, it's saying I have 4 of every card I have 2 of, and 2 of every card I have 1 of.
But probably more importantly, none of the changes I make seem to stick anymore. It tells me it saved successfully, but when I refresh, it's showing the old values again. That happens if I use the importer, or manually change cards.
Kinnan is nuts! He doesn't even have to survive more than one turn to get a ton of value. And if your opponent has instant speed removal you can just tap all of your lands in response and still get double mana. It is kind of a shame he is such easy prey though . . .
I have only played 3 games, so far I am 2-1. One of the wins was against a cubelock who was just a bit too slow, the other win was against a priest who was AFK. The loss was vs a secret mage who killed me on turn 6.
I am not too sure about the Houndmaster or Acolyte of Pain. I will continue to play more games and update the list.
What I’m attempting to do is make their just be less trash in the 2 sets, I do like your argument, healing touch in fact was a card that I went back and forth went alot, unsure how much it’s healing should be valued in fact looking back I probably shouldn’t have changed it in the first place, what I am trying to concede to is that I probably went to far on a number of cards alot of the cards probably should’ve stayed the same I buffed everything as I was trying hard to make most of it playable in fact despite me stating O was leaving cards like river crocisck and chillwind yeti and even wisp I still found my self wanting to change them. The goal was to deal with stuff like millhouse and onyxia which no body wants to end up with as they are useless especially for new players. but looking back I do see that I changed alot more than I had to.
There is also the fact that I was warping what the cards were in some cases like the beast.
and zephyrs I honestly think makes any card good as he gives you it when you really need it, healing touch usually isn’t good enough to see any play but you are happy to get it off zephyrs as, well you heed that healing. It is why I made mortal strke deal so much if you are low on health burst is less valuable as you are about to die so in return it gives you more, (still think I over tuned it though)
with all that said you are not a happy when you get guardian of kings or priestess of elune off zephyrs when compared to healing touch as the cards are so weak
In summary I probably did to much, but I do feel like some things need to change, nobody ever buys classic packs for a reason (being the evergreen set isn’t worth much if most of it is trash nobody uses)(and I don’t like the fact that it also has some of the worst legendaries in the game)
No plans to implement storing the URLs on Out of Cards or running the request from our servers. If we were going to automate that, we'd get proper API authorization off HSR and bake it into the site. I talked about it a bit elsewhere and really don't want to bake more reliance on third parties into the site. There ends up being silly data laws that I really don't want to deal with. By people submitting stuff manually, you're consenting to us storing your collections and I don't need to put up any disclaimers.
That looks like a good list as well. What do you think of Grand Archivist? Is it working for you? I was having mixed feelings.
Think I might give this a shot as well. Just spam mechs and finish with Spiteful. Might brick Jeeves with the high cost cards though, maybe just running Archivist + Nagrand Slam instead would be better.
Welcome to posting! This is a LOT. Before someone wades in, it might be worth qualifying up top just what it is you’re shooting for. The Priest redesign is an attempt to take a class that maybe had lost its way a little and to give it fresh parameters. What one goal are these changes trying to accomplish? Sure, Onyxia with a wall of taunts would make her better, but if the entire collection is power creeping, everything else is better too. Maybe even just focusing on underplayed cards and improving them would create a more consistent focus.
One wrench in a lot of these designs, at least for another year, is Zephrys. Pulling these versions of cards instead of his current pool would produce a noticeable tilt in outcomes. Healing Touch, for instance, is already a recommendation when you’re low on health. Should you really snag an added effect too?
Agreed. Scorpid is very strong. I think your comparison was better than mine, it is basically a Stormpike Commando on steroids. Also agree about Ruststeed Raider, 5 damage can remove a lot of things on T5 and leaves an annoying taunt behind. Certainly good value for 5 mana.
Best pack opening ever.
I never buy too many packs (mostly use up my excess gold) as I mostly play Arena but this one was pretty bad - only 2 in 37 packs.
Best pack opening ever.
9 from 100, including golden Teron and a double legendary pack with Evocation and warrior Prime! Never had this good opening before!

Anyone else getting kinda tired of all those "Whenever this creature mutates" effects? Was expecting more diversity with the mechanic.

I like the look of it! I will be testing it out for myself tomorrow.

I thought they were gonna revamp Priest? Same pussy ass bitch decks as before.

Archmage Beardo's Meta-Defying Blasts
When the second Metamorphosis is cast from Archmage Vargoth, it would swap from Demonic Blast to a new Demonic Blast, which when used up, would revert back to the previous Hero Power, which was also Demonic Blast. When those two uses get used up, it would swap again back to Demonic Blast.
I haven't gotten the chance to test this interaction out yet though, so I don't actually know if it works or not.
BlizzCon 2020 Might be Cancelled Due to Coronavirus
Had to be done, to prevent the spread of COVID. It would be irresponsible to hype up blizzcon in midst of a pandemic.
Then again, judging by the going ons in the last 2 blizzcons, it might be tactical to skip at least this one anyway.
