Thank you Zephrys, for allowing me to top-deck you and granting my wish to be a Token Hunter, so I could smash this stupid Mage's face with an army of mechs spawned by a fallen SN1P-SN4P. You truly are great!
WoW .... the work you've done is very impressive! Very creative and well thought ! I always like to create cards and come up with ideas about them but this seems pretty awesome!
Very well done!
the only thing so far is that i agree with MalcomReynolds - i think the Tactic Keyword should either be like a Battlecry or an continual effect !
Very nice! Although that’s always something that bugged me: is Zola a naga? She has the signature snake waist and similar features, but there’s still the tiny detail of her hair being snakes, and it clearly states she’s a gorgon...
The revelation of the full system of the Old Gods and the Cosmology was truly a masterpiece by the Warcraft story designers.
It turned a mass of an indefinitely-developing fancy lore into a full-blown universe.
It's good to have that explained here.
On a sidenote, I am really curious about the incoming developments of N'Zoth, the Corruptor in WoW. I expect the ultimate masterpiece from that storyline.
Neferset Thrasher surely can get you in trouble but most of the time this in combo with Diseased Vulture for example can be very overwhelming for the opponent.
And Magic Carpet is one of the best cards you can use for Zoo - even better in Lackey Zoo - Nice stats for Zoo and the ability is very strong ! There are lots of different Zoo Variants but i think the Carpet has to be in every single one of them :)
The Egg is not the best, thats true but combined with Knife Juggler and for example a Grim Rally this also is very good and it also puts minions on the boad so you can play Sea Giant early on - so i guess it`s not that bad!
I don't have Zola the Gorgon and Loatheb but I consider crafting them. Currently I started playing more and more Wild and got to Rank 6 with just casual play using Jade Druid and Even Shaman. Now I consider your list. Maybe after the nerfs on Barnes and Luna's Pocket Galaxy I will craft those two...
What do you think? Would you consider these as safe crafts?
Thanks for the great idea, the list and the guide.
Im a bit bummed as well about the lack of competitive quest lists. at sub 5 I hardly see any quests. The only new deck is see at all regularly is highlander hunter and I'm pretty sick of playing against hunter.
I think others are right in that future releases have a good chance at making them more viable but man is that a long time to wait to play the main theme of the current expansion.
Yep, i also thought we would see way more of the Quests !
The Quest that sees most play right now to my surprise is Making Mummies - sure sometimes there is a Quest Druid or a Shaman but the Quest card with the most playtime right now is Paladin. But i think even tough the other Quests are not the best Ones right now that they still shaked the meta up quite nice :)
But as GypsiHunter stated the Quest could also get more viable with next expansion :)
Well the Matchmaking discussion sureley is an old one :) - every Hearthstone related Forum had it or it comes and goes every now and then! But as far as i know there is no official statement about it , only something about the MMR and how you get matched but nothing concrete.
Sure there are some people who say it is rigged and there are moments in the game you alwasy get your worst outcame etc. - but that also means that somebody (the opponent) get`s a good outcome and therefor i would say it still counts as random ...
The part about the internet breakdown ... sure there could be a Server crash but i think that is unlikely and most of the time the players internet or W-Lan had somekind of disfunction but most of the players would still say it´s Blizzards fault that they have shitty servers etc, etc, ...
Sometimes you will have bad luck and get matched against the worst match-up or draw bad and the opponent get´s the nuts - but it also happens the other way around ...
At least that are my oppinions :)
TL, DR:
I think the matchmaking is random and not rigged - sometimes you get lucky and sometimes not :) :)
As others before me have already said, OOC is the superior community. OOC is like a distilled version of every Hearthstone forum out there, since most of the great and interesting members from Hearthpwn migrated here. As a result, there are very few salt/whiny threads and more interesting and intelligent discussions, as well as excellent feature articles on the front page, which I think is a paradise for those who love this game (like me). Forum activity could be better, but I have no doubt that will improve over time.
The worst forum I've ever visited has to be the one on the official Hearthstone website. Nothing but toxic complaints, whining, and "old man yells at cloud" threads. It's a hell filled with jaded, bitter, and angry HS players raging against the small indie company we know and love.
C'mon dude... "The superior community"? Don't you think that's too much? No offense, but your post sounds pretty arrogant and condescending... No forum community is superior to other, just different. What you could see as interesting and smart, others could see as boring and shallow. Different tastes and personalities create different perspectives, that's all.
To be honest, from my point of view, most threads and articles here on Out of Cards are extremely boring, with a considerable amount of posts made by people totally afraid of not being accepted by others. Such a thing creates an unnatural and fictional enviroment hard to digest for those of us who usually prefer honesty over false kindness. But that is just my opinion. The fact you seem to enjoy this forum more than me doesn't make it better or worse than the others, just different, as I said previously.
Everything is relative, always remember that. ;) ;) ;)
One is all serious discussions whereas the other is a chaotic, angry mess. Of course you would like the latter better :P
I do not think the lack of angry posts here is a product of people being afraid to express their emotions though. We still have a working salt thread. It's just that people here know that there's no point in making a thread just to vent about how much they dislike something because there's no actual discussion to be had. No one ever replies to those with anything meaningful. Unless you were referring to some other aspect of this community?
People still get pretty emotional here if you exclude the whole top level rant threads thing. Case in point, you've still managed to stir up shit just fine. People still get pissed off when I tell them why their theorycraft is not going to be competitive or why their personal experience is bad advice or why Blizzard will never do what they want it to or why their collection management is only good for destroying dust/money. There are still players who have hate, or at least no empathy for Spikes others who enjoy the game differently than themselves. It's far less common than it is on HP, but it's there if you look hard enough
Hey Guys, i play Hearthstone since Beta and i wanted the opinion from the community on this topic since i cant remember a official statement from blizzard.
Does anybody else feel like if they are about to jump from one rank to another ( rank 3 5 stars , so a win would lift you up a rank f.e.)
you automatically get matched against your worst matchup ? Horrible starthand , etc...
to sum it up - everything that can go wrong WILL go wrong ? including internet breakdown although you are connected to your wlan.
No salt over here just wondering if anybody else feels the same :)
I definitely prefer this format over the previous mono-class master tournament
I much prefer the greater number of classes represented. Variations of the same deck certainly adds some strategic decisions but ultimately is a lot more boring.

The Old Gods, Masters of Madness - Traversing Azeroth
Awesome!
Zilliax
Zilliax is balanced, so no nerf should occur.
The only solution to ubiquity, if that's a real problem, would be an early HoF.
But ubiquity doesn't seem to bother too many players, and with just 7months left of Standard life, it's probably not worth it to bother anyway.
China Gold Series - Shanghai Masters Open Results & Decklists
Maybe we were lucky that they introduced the previous format in a control warrior meta, so it showed the flaws of it right away.
The Old Gods, Masters of Madness - Traversing Azeroth
Naga Sea Witch used to have serpentine hair in WC3, eg Lady Vashj.
That is, i am fairly sure Gorgon was just a pun, yet they can still explain it as a title, or attribute, particularly fitting for Naga females.
Gorgon is not a different species or race, and Zola is a Naga.

Zilliax
I realy do not see the need to Nerf Zilliax.
Good and balanced card but it also will rotate at some time !
Hunt all Weasels!
Added weasel will be immediately shuffled.
What are the best tech choices for zoo actually are?
Well i mostly disagree ...
Neferset Thrasher surely can get you in trouble but most of the time this in combo with Diseased Vulture for example can be very overwhelming for the opponent.
And Magic Carpet is one of the best cards you can use for Zoo - even better in Lackey Zoo - Nice stats for Zoo and the ability is very strong ! There are lots of different Zoo Variants but i think the Carpet has to be in every single one of them :)

At least that`s what i think about those cards :)

"Random" Matchmaking between ranks
No, this is not a thing.
