  • Does Jr. Tomb Diver work with Advanced Targeting Monocle?

    Thanks for responding guys. For some reason I thought Advanced Targeting Monocle said 'play a copy' but it says 'cast a copy' so I guess I'm just dumb.

    Quote From AliRadicali

    It's unfortunate because the Tomb Raider is pretty much a 4 mana 5/5 in this adventure. Secrets are rare and result in a terrible deck that doesn't let you survive long enough to complete the Raider's condition. In my experience the other starting treasures are a lot stronger.

    Yeah this^. I've played like a total of 8-10 runs (I'm not really counting) so far in which I tried to make the card work and I only got enough secrets in 1 of those. In that run I did manage to activate Jr. Tomb Diver once but that was just because I kept passing until I had drawn all my secrets. Later I died to the 7th boss because like you said, my deck was just not good enough because I had to pick weak buckets.

    It sucks because the completionist in me wants to get this to work before upgrading the Jr. Tomb Diver to the Sr. Tomb Diver , and I've been playing heroic so much that doing it on regular just isn't fulfilling.

  • Rock, Paper, Scissors: Highlanderadin, Big Swing Druid, and a Mech Draw Machine Warlock

    Ya I've been noticing a heavy dust requirement trend. I believe SoU is the worst culprit right now, every Neutral legendary sees play, except for Colossus of the Moon. Add in Highlander cards or Quests and it makes almost every meta deck over 10,000 dust. I may try to feature some 5,000 dust range decks in the coming weeks to try and combat this. However, Combo and Control decks are historically expensive so that may be tricky.

  • Daily Quests - New Ideas/Trash Removal

    Quote From Zwane

    I think the daily quests are inspired by WoW, but miss some important reasons why they work better there: 

    1. Higher rewards (useful gear etc) 

    2. More choice (you can choose from a lot more daily quests to do there)

    One of the problems with creating interesting quests is in the reward: gold as a reward is a bit meh compared to getting a higher average iLvL in WoW or this nice item for transmog. I think quests could be more interesting when the rewards could be cosmetical (say win this aweseome card back) or much more impactful (win a free legendary/epic card, your choice) something like that.

    And maybe they should introduce trinket cards? Which kindof work as the perks in the adventures.(Say all minions of the opponent have one less attack or something :) lol). Sure this would be difficult to "balance" and people would cry out "unfair"!! But at least you would be more interesting in doing the quests...and if you could only use them for a limited time, say 5 times or something, a temporary buff, then it might work, and it would be "fair": people spending the time to do the quests get better "gear" and therefore have an advantage for a limited period. Just my 2 cents.

    I wouldn't want to play a game where the PVP content includes power-ups or boosts outside of the normal gameplay itself (for HS, the cards in your deck), because then it becomes a requirement to get those powerups in order to fight on a level playing field. In the end ladder would devolve into trinket-wars where everyone is boosting themselves, at which point you've just introduced an artificial barrier for everyone who doesn't have trinkets (any more). If these were quest rewards then the number of games you can play at full power per day is effectively capped by how many trinkets you can earn per day.

    Sounds *terrible* to me.

  • Does Jr. Tomb Diver work with Advanced Targeting Monocle?

    I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work because [Hearthstone Card (jr. Tomb Raider's) Not Found] condition is playing secrets, not having spells cast them. For comparison, Secretkeeper doesn't get buffed by Bellringer Sentry, nor Desperate Measures AFAIK.

  • Does Jr. Tomb Diver work with Advanced Targeting Monocle?

    I don't know, but I am 99.999% sure that it doesn't count because it casts and doesn't play, especially since Mysterious Tome doesn't work and that says "play". I wouldn't get my hopes up.

    I spent a very amused 2 hours trying to get that OTK Paladin to work. It didn't. But I had a blast! 😅

  • Hearthpwn unsuable on mobile?

    Does adblock work? Yes, it's on mobile too.

  • Does Jr. Tomb Diver work with Advanced Targeting Monocle?

    So I've been trying to make Jr. Tomb Diver work in heroic, but so far I've been unsuccesful both due to not getting any secrets in my buckets and relatively weak decks. I got Advanced Targeting Monocle a couple times now and based on the wording, it should work with Jr. Tomb Diver, but I haven't been able to test it unfortunately (I have never been able to draw or play both cards before I won or lost). However, I thought the same thing of Mysterious Tome, but I was able to confirm that it does not count towards jr. tomb diver's requirement.

    So before I choose Advanced Targeting Monocle again and get disappointed after it turns it doesn't work with Jr. Tomb Diver, have any of you been able to confirm how this interaction works?

  • Steal the Opponent's Quest!

    Wow an 8.5 % winrate on hs Replay... You don't see those kind of % often 

  • Meme of the Week: Rarity Parity

    Cho is the best, won me lots of games in my 30 even legendary paladin deck! Hope he sees more play sometime in the future!

  • Steal the Opponent's Quest!

    Thief Priest is really fun to play! Not all the quests are good to steal though. I play a Control-ish Thief Priest and the only quest I've managed to steal so far was the Warlock Quest which wasn't really helpful since we both reached fatigue and I lost to a surprise Mecha'thun lol

    pwn was never built to support mobile, not in a great way anyway. Maybe new owners will eventually make the change, who knows. Im just glad our site is mobile friendly, or at least we try to :)

  • Tombs of Terror: DON'T ATTEMPT CHAPTER 2 (Update: fixed)

    Had a similar problem on normal, just not as bad. Doing a playthrough with Reno and got him down to about 170 HP before he dropped C'Thun and wiped me out. When I got back again, he was at around 230 health. Got smart and chose the Hearthstone treasure and faced him a second time, knocking him down to 7 HP before after he dropped his C'Thun and left me near death. Used my Hearthstone to go back to the inn, and he was back up to 17 HP when I got to him the third time. Still a pretty easy win, but could have saved the third attempt without all the health bouncing back up.

  • Titanic Tasks

    I think this little bit more than heroic one. Am I wrong to do so?

  • Deckbuilding Challenge: A Brood of Carnassa

    Almost forgot to post my version .

    The Hunting Queens

    Wild · Quest Hunter · by ARES · 7 years ago

    Made that deck before this thread so I might steal some of your ideas to improve it  :P 

  • Tombs of Terror: DON'T ATTEMPT CHAPTER 2 (Update: fixed)

    I personaly did not had this problem but it happend to a friend of mine! (on Heroic)

    But as the OP stated in the Update , it should be fixed now and work as intended !

  • Deckbuilding Challenge: A Brood of Carnassa

    Quote From ARES
    Quote From FieselFitz

    Sounds kinda fun - i do not play wild, only standard so forgive me if i forgot to implement a good card :)

     

     
    [...]

     

    Should be pretty forthcoming - play Quest and try to get the the reward - afterwards you can either put copys in the deck using Dire Frenzy , use Ramkahen Wildtamer or simply just play Baleful Banker - the Brewmaster is in there so you can bounce back the Tamer or the Banker - or simply just Carnassa :)

    And of course cou can put yor Zola the Gorgon on Carnassa too :) 

    I only fixated on getting copys of Carnassa so i'm not sure if the deck can survive long enough to do so - maybe it needs some changes :) 

    I also only added Zul Jin so he could replay the Frenzy and Deadly Shot but i guess this is not enough to play him so he could be easily replaced - but if we would change the deck to somekind of Hunting Party variant we could play him :)

    Looks good! So that's the 1-drop spam strategy. Crystaliser provides armour so maybe a bit of heal would be nice.. the Vicious Scalehide+Dire frenzy combo is usually good enough or an antique healbot that you could bounce in a pinch.

    Edit: I noticed the Augmented Elekk in there- nice!

    Thx, yes - usualy the spam strategy ! and i agree - to stay alive it would be better to play the Scalehide or maybe some Lifedrinker / Zilliax - because the Frenzy we want to use on carnassa :) 

    Yep i put Elekk in because of the Banker/Carnassa Shuffle combo :) 

  • Tombs of Terror: DON'T ATTEMPT CHAPTER 2 (Update: fixed)

    Might be a issue with Heroic mode only, I have the same thing happening with me.

     

  • 30 Cards or 60 Cards?

    Maybe they should try like a 40 card game mode first, and if people like it they could later try 50 or 60.
