One of of the features that I personally loved about Hearthpwn is the notification system that announced when the thread you're subscribed to have updated or when someone has answered your PM. Is there something similar like that coming to this site? If not, I'd like for it to be since it is really hard to find the thread you want to see if the site continue to grow.
We have a custom interface planned to continue supporting this, and it should be kickass. Currently we don't have all the features needed to support it here just yet, but quest trading will definitely be brought here, and drastically improved.
I don't agree that "duplicate" decks should not be allowed. You end up with a problem then of the person that creates it first dictates how it evolves on the site, at least without a crazy amount of moderation.
The reason the has guides filter exists is to help combat "junk" decks. There are plans for more tools to help people find actual useful content and there will be incentives for people to make good guides. Another thing we currently have is all decks start at zero. If a deck creator really wants to share their deck and let others see it, they're more likely to upvote their own deck. Adding in filters later on that allow users to hide decks with less than a certain score are on the to do list.
Ultimately, people should be allowed to use the site to share their decks and keep a record of decks they enjoyed playing. I think HearthPwn did a very good job with that, it just needs more powerful filters to let people find good content easier. Content discovery is going to be big here instead of simply deck discovery. One thing that will help with this is showcasing related decks on deck pages with a a preference given to decks with guides. We'll also end up having a way for staff, and maybe select community members, to be able to "star" decks to flag them as recommended to the community for having outstanding content.
These are great ideas for the future and I agree with what you said. I would love to have a way to create my own list of "favorite decks" so I can easily go reference them again and see if guides were added or they were modified. Or follow a deck to be alerted with it is updated. Things like that would encourage deck creators to edit previous decks instead of making virtually identical new ones. O
Cannot get a win streak going no matter what. I swear the game is rigged right now, every deck I play my opponent seems to be the exact counter to it. Normally I get to rank 5 every season but the highest I have been is rank 8 this season.
Losing interest in the game to be honest, especially as it's oddly predictable which class I'll be matched against and what cards they will have at just the right time. I know people say it cannot be proven and match making is random but I don't buy that for a second, there is definitely something strange going on.
I feel the same way sometimes. When I start feeling that way I'll play a deck I really like or just play wild because I didn't start playing until knights of the Frozen throne so I didn't get to play a lot of the older cards.

I hated this so much on hearthpwn, just spamming decks and the endless number of dupe decks without any description.
PLEASE prevent this early enough, it's easy to identify 100% identical decks. Stop the dupe decks and remove decks that have no description / guide.
Quality > Quantity
Edit: Just saw that the decks this guy posted are deck recipes, but still, the message keeps the same. No description is a no go, maybe just collect them in a single forums post.
With just one glance, there's HS flavor breaking everywhere:
"Steal cards" doesn't fit Druid at all. It's Priest (and later Rogue) territory. Nor should it ever be to. Their specialty is card draw.
Hunter isn't supposed to have good board clear. And Red Wedding would be overpower in any class, not just Hunter.
There's no class card other than Shaman with Windfury, so Oberyn Martell cannot have Windfury.
There's no casting card cross-class. Even Rogue and Priest with their steal mechanic still have to pay mana to steal the cards first. So Robert Baratheon is impossible.
There's also no Discover effect activate at the end of your turn. Samwell Tarly is impossible.
Ramsay Bolton doesn't fit the Warlock class at all. All of his flavor and gameplay mechanic scream Priest.
Faceless Man wording is a mess. Who is "A man"? Which turn will it kill? Enemy? Your? Both?
Mirri and Petyr has 5 lines of text.
Unsullied is basically a reprint / buff of Arena Patron
6 keywords in one expansion is a little much. Most expansion mostly introduce 1-3 keywords.
The mountain's wording should be "by one attack". It;s also way overcost for what it is. 7 mana should be fine.
Melisandre's token is way too complicated for her to be a Rare.
Sacrifice's wording should be "the highest cost minion". Similarly, Tywin Lannister should be "the lowest cost". Wording for minion cost should be consistent with the Joust mechanic.
The twist is interesting on paper, but i don't think it will be highly relevant for deckbuilding, in average. Because most minions follow the Yeti paradigm anyway.
If anything, it'll be more relevant when actually playing and trading minions.
Hiya - apologies if I am jumping the gun here and it's already being sorted. I went to click on my thread about MTG:Arena, (which looks like it's been moved to the Magic General section) - but I don't appear to have access to it? (I get a 403 Access Denied).
It's possible that it's still being configured and I'm just too quick of course, lol. Just wondered if I needed to do anything to access that part. :-)
I'm pretty salty that Rogue hasn't fallen completely off a fucking cliff since the nerfs. It's always been my least favorite class to play against (alongside Priest), and it refuses to just stay down for a while.
I don't know about you but every time I queue into a warrior I want to throw my phone out the window
For profile management you just need the url currently, which is https://outof.cards/accounts/management, so there is a way to do it, it's just not easily accessible on mobile.
Salt for Prophet velen mind blast when you're thinking you're winning. And salt that everytime I have time for play ranked, I need to lose at least 3 star before gaining any!

If you can filter decks without descriptions, then I don't see what the issue is here.
How is May 2019 season going for you?
I feel the same way sometimes. When I start feeling that way I'll play a deck I really like or just play wild because I didn't start playing until knights of the Frozen throne so I didn't get to play a lot of the older cards.

Can We Have a Content Creator Section in the Forum?
Definitely going to get something up for this. I always enjoyed our Streams & Videos forum.
I also want to help content creators in other ways too through their profiles, that's something for down the line though!

This guy https://outof.cards/members/pcjco posted over 100 decks on ONE DAY and all of them DO NOT HAVE A F***ING GUIDE.

Here is another guy https://outof.cards/members/octrange with 12 decks on the same day. No descriptions, no guides. Just delete them, please.
You can see how the database is already blown up with such spam:
Decks with guides: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/?has_guide=2 - 12 pages
Decks with no guides https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/?page=31&has_guide=3 - 31 pages

Mobile concerns
Still better than getting spam ads every time I visit hearthpwn. I am gonna miss it though.
Logging out redirecting to admin panel
I believe it's not indended. Minor issue.

Not a big fan of potentially having MTGA content in this Hearthpwn-successor site, but otherwise it looks great.

The 207th Brawl Spectacular!
Please ban Void Singularity, I can't have fun with this brawl when everyone plays that's snowballing bullshit... It's pointless to pick other brawls.
This brawl should be like: random brawl, random class.
