  • [Theorycraft] King Krush 24 damage Hunter

    I've been running a single copy of Untamed Beastmaster in my Hunter deck to be used in conjunction on the same turn with Master's Call on beast minions that I have previously put into my deck using Dire Frenzy.  If you could pull two King Krush that were buffed by both Dire Frenzy and Untamed Beastmaster, then discount them with Scarlet Webweaver's to four mana apiece, it would allow you to deal 13 damage from each King Krush for eight mana and two damage for two mana from hero power for a total of ten mana and 28 damage. If Flark's Boom-Zooka is at the bottom of the deck, this could be an alternative win condition maybe?

    Quote From KingKrush

    Please stop playing OTK decks!  I just got a Paladin down to 5 health and I was at 25.  They play whatever the F that card is to draw Shirvallah, the Tiger and deal 25 damange.  FU!  Sometimes I really don't understand why I play this game.  Part of me wants to blame Blizzard for putting those types of mechanics in the game but it's the people that plays them.  

    Personally I love playing OTK decks. One reason is because all of the other aggro & control decks are exactly the same deck that everyone is playing and almost always have obvious plays. I feel it gets boring playing decks and playstyles that are so scripted

  • Infinite Cruel Dinomancer

    You should include Spiritsinger Umbra to fill the board with Cruel Dinomancers and get extra copies from Expired Merchant.

    I think she'd be better than the Cult Master.

  • Please remove the grid like background from card Reveal countdown

    Quote From Fluxflashor

    No plans on removing it. Making it different was the goal, it attracts attention to it.

    Thank you

    Well I didn't say I hate it, I just stated my opinion in the forum meant for that...whether the dev team listens to the input and do something about it or not is up to them. 

    Hating won't give you extra up votes btw, it's a forum in the end. 

  • Here's some art, make a card! [Legacy Game]

    Feels pretty weird, but I think she could encourage people to maybe create a Draw Mage archetype. You can get a lot of future value with right cards that you draw and cards that draw cards. Most notable examples are Stargazer Luna and Aluneth.

    Heh, to be honest, i didnt even notice it until now lol ... apparently, this is the picture in the background :) Lets see if Flux can give you some kind of answer why its there and if he would consider removing it or swapping it for something else.

    I like the contrast. It highlights the csrd reveal part. Keep it I would say.

  • A bit Early Highlander Paladin

    It doesn't meant to beat tbh. I always theorycraft for my fun, not for ladder.

    also, I'm open to all suggestions and it is in progress right now, I've just threw cards in the deck to remember to make one highlander when expansion released. There are so much cards about to reveal, All of neutral cards weren't revealed yet. It is like a reserving for me. :)

    I didn't think any of the existing decks while I'm building this because sometimes The existing decks just disappears because of other decks and you really don't need to add some package for them.

    It doesn't mean that I will not try to win against Control Warriors or Control shamans if they will exist - Control Shaman will probably exist- but it isn't the time to consider them because I'm sure there will be more cards that fits this deck to fight against other control decks. There is already one more upcoming highlander card for example and I will add it probably to this deck.

    So it is just a thread for Highlander Paladin like "How will Highlander Paladin look like". This is why I have opened this thread. Comments can show me what I didn't consider to build a deck so I can consider them and try to add packages for making it better.

    Thanks for reminder of Dr. Boom, Mad Genius and Hagatha the Witch.

    I can add Archivist Elysiana to hope she gave me some value against control decks by replacing her with Tirion Fordring. Also I'm hoping Mech package + Kangor's Endless Army will help against Dr. Boom, Mad Genius.

    Also the aim of Sir Finley of the Sands will be getting Tank Up! mostly but you re right about their value generation. I might only hope Ysera, Kangor's Endless Army, Sir Finley of the Sands and Archivist Elysiana will bring me for bigger value while Brightwing and Bronze Herald bringing me lesser value.

    Cards like Shirvallah, the Tiger, Tirion Fordring, Nozari and [Hearthstone Card (A New Challenger…) Not Found] are fillers mostly. I just want to see what reveal season will bring and i will evaluate and evolve the deck around new cards. :)

  • New Paladin Spell - Making Mummies

    Depends all if the meta is slow enough to play the quest, and if there aren’t super strong counters to it . Like fast OTKs or Shaman...

    As the title implies, Am I the only one bothered by this? It doesn't feel like it fits with the design of the site at all.

    It would be great if custom sorting could be added:

    1. By newest

    2. By oldest

    3. Most popular

     

    Something like this. I often read comments to the posts, but if I skip 20-30-40 of them it's getting hard for me to continue reading from where I left :)

     

    There has been some internal discussion about sorting comments so I'd imagine we'll get alternative sorting methods, but I have no ETA to give.

    Thanks for the update! :) anyway you are doing great job with OOC! keep it u

  • Highlander Mill Mage (Saviors of Uldum edition)

    Quote From MemeMachine
    Quote From Catterwall

    Would cutting Luna's Pocket Galaxy for another copy of Violet Illusionist make sense to avoid things such as this? Not seeing any minions that are big enough in this deck to really warrant running that spell.

    i mean, you can if you want. Pocket Galaxy doesn't seem that great but if you manage to play it early it can really be helpful. Even saving a couple of mana a turn means you can squeeze in a Frost Nova alongside Coldlight Oracle. I fully expect to update this deck when the new expansion is released. Even one new card would be great.

    Actually, I just played a game that I would've lost if I didn't play Luna's. Molten Reflection was at the bottom along with my Oracles. I played 2 x Oracle at 1 Mana each with a 1 Mana Vargoth on the board and won the game. Luna's stays for me for now ;)

  • Aggressive singleton deck is actually not that farfetched

    Staff

    This can work, sure ... but what is the point? You dont want to use your hero power as an aggro deck anyway lol, upgraded or not.

  • Conversation w/ Dean Ayala (Iksar)

    Apologies if this was already posted somewhere, but I thought people might find the latest episode of Omni/Stone interesting as Dean Ayala was a guest:

    I didn't take detailed notes or anything, but here are some points that stood out:

    • Convo starts at 3:50
       
    • Before Dean, Mike Donais was the only designer doing play testing on the team

    • We know that they work on sets well in advanced, but Dean gave some numbers.  Saviors of Uldum will be his 16th set but he implied he's currently working on the next 4 as well.

    • A lot of stuff on Team 5's design philosophy - concern with player experience at the beginning and end of games, concern with games feeling the same even with different cards, and wanting to enable decks that gently introduce you to the more complicated mechanics of the game (e.g. going from Murloc Shaman, to a C'thun deck, to Nomi Priest). 

    • They didn't land on Death Knights until 9 weeks into Final Design! (18:45)

    • Specific card discussions start around 31:40
       
    • We may not be getting a way to discard duplicates from our singleton decks.  This was only hinted at indirectly in the discussion about Bomb Warrior interactions in play testing, but I came away thinking that there won't be an initial counter to bombs.  (convo happens soon after the 1 hour mark) 

    • A lot of inside details on previous iterations of cards and how they balance the wow factor vs. pragmatic impact.  For example, Brann at one point summoned two 5/5 beasts with rush due to fear about the Krush burst, but it was more exciting to summon Krush (naturally).  And Reno had a set of special mage cards he was going to fire from his wand but they wanted something "more consistent" than something "flashy/memey".

    • I think we knew this already, but he confirmed that the team reads Reddit comments so posting suggestions there isn't just shouting into the void!  (it's probably just shouting into a void)

    Sounds good to me. We'll start working on that, possibly quite soon.

  • Please make a laddering guide

    What the title says. I love how there are a number of easy to find guides for several themes, but I miss a laddering guide, which would explain the difference between ranked/ casual, list the number of stars necessary to climb, the win streak rules, and the contents of the monthly reward chests.
