Hey all, for a few weeks now, the news section for Marvel Snap includes news for all the other card games, not just Snap. Not too big of an issue, but I thought I'd let you know. Cheers!

A new Common Death Knight Minion, Skeletal Sidekick, has been revealed!

Basically, an exceptionally condescending way of saying that we don't want to listen to player feedback because we believe you to be misinformed and inarticulate.

So I'm going to try my best to communicate as if I was writing LOR's design document:

LOR is a card game where you attempt to satisfy unique questing conditions in order to level up (flip) your preffered champions.

These "quests" should guide the player towards certain "archetypes" and deck building decisions in a organic and non intrusive manner.

The implications being that these quests are powerful while also remaining mutually distinct and worth pursuing (this is where the fun is.)

Deck break downs:

Actual constructions of decks are comprised of reactive plays (fast speed spells) pro active plays (burst speed spells) and creatures wrapped up in a compellingly unique turn based pkg.

The Problem:

When decks become too homogenous, when champion level up conditions don't feel game winning, when reactive plays like stuns and bounces out weigh the value of playing high cost followers (5 plus) the game starts to lose that fun factor.

The conclusion:

People including popular streamers start to migrate from your game, you start introducing low impact expansions and nobody plays those cards, you also dangle the threat of rotation so people can't even play the decks they want to play and your game loses popularity.

The solution:

The same thing it's always been heavy handed comprehensive balance patches that nerf what's reducing viability and buff what's not viable. It's unfortunate, but it's the only way you can commit to keeping LOR a compelling and fun experience and get those streamers playing again.

Rather then say write a massive blog post about how your players are inarticulate trolls who can't speak "designer" when it's your own choices and decission making drawing your game and community into question.

Hello,

Any ideas on how to quickly complete the quest to win a location using a single card?

Up to now it's the most annoying of all and season 4(?) of the event requires 20 such wins.

Not sure if dropping a card and retreating counts, but that's not the way i'd like to do it.

This is an announcement to let everyone know that Out of Cards will be down on Halloween night at 11 PM Eastern. Spooky!

We're doing a major migration to new hardware to help improve site performance and make way for a large site update. This will also give us more room to grow going forward as our previous solution has been at its limits for a while now.

Estimated downtime is less than an hour, but no matter how many tests you do, real-world may take longer.

During our downtime, all services operated on Out of Cards will not be available.

Though I've been playing for years, I decided to start a new account and play as a free-to-play.

Through the years, the community of players have been bashing the developers and complained about a lot of things. "Salty" was a word that repeated itself.

Now, I thought to share the surprisingly positive experience I had as a "new player". 

- The rank 40 matches is genius. So much fin playing "basic and simple" Hearthstone games. 

- The collection you start with is large, includes many legendary cards, and many good ones too.I remembers my experience in past years, and how toiled to craft some of these cards that are now given for free :)

- The auto-complete deck option actually provide you decent decks for the cards you have, with synergies, across classes. 

- The cards you "discover" as you rank up your classes, are actually useful, and the fact you "right of the bat" achieve rewards in the "experience map"  is adding to the fun. 

- Players you play against are actually nice and fun to play against. Win or lose, you don;t feel "salty" because of some toxic over-powered deck that was played.

All and all, a fun experience entering into the game. A difference of night and day comparing to even five or four years ago. 

So with the release of the newest mini set Lor has been kind of a mess.

A lot of the interesting and worth while play patterns that defined the game are increasingly being ironed out for what works.

Turbo strategies, do nothing strategies, general malaise and lack of interest/intrigue

Topped off now with what can only be described as streamer migration.

It began small by Swim and BBG quitting the game but now even Mogwai has left for a competitor.

I have to say that the future of Lor is looking darker then it has for quite some time.

I would say personally that the only real fix is going to be archetype support, hard buffs for freijord, and legitimate reasons to play midrange again.

Beyond that what is it that makes Lor truly appealing when compared to its competitors because I'm starting to forget.

(NOTE: This expansion is not based on any existing WoW location. However, the fantasy theme is consistent)

The Dawning Cataclysms - An Overview

It's as it was written, the stars have spoken back to us and have confirmed our suspicions. The Cataclysm approaches and we are not strong enough to combat it, not with our decaying power, our champion has to come, not only for the safety of the town, but of the townspeople too. O constellations of the sky, guide our champion one to the path they belong.

The Dawning Cataclysms covers three different places, the (Unnamed) town, Tomorrow's Rise, a cult awaiting for the cataclysm to come for their invasion to begin, and The Crystal Circle, an association of astrologists and magicians that protect their most sacred treasure, the Violet Rune, away from the cult.

Demon Hunter, Hunter, Warrior, Warlock and Rogue will be part of Tomorrow's Rise. While Druid, Mage, Paladin, Priest and Shaman will join forces with the town and The Crystal Circle.

Every prophecy starts with someone, and the road that lies ahead of them will be defined by those circumstances that suround them. It's what we read of what will come, so be prepared.

This expansion features one new keyword, Prophecy.


When you play a card with Prophecy, it will play like normal, and then a shattered circle will form above your Hero (taking a Secret slot, just like Quests), the card with Prophecy will fill one of the three gaps in it. Cards with Prophecy will replay themselves when you cast your Prophecy, and cards with "Prophecy: X" will add their effects to your current Prophecy, but both fill the circle that will become the road ahead.

For example, you play Carrion Invader, your Prophecy is now 1/3rd complete. If you play another one, 2/3rds, playing another card with Prophecy will finish it and create a Forseen Prophecy in your hand. Their art varies depending on which class used it, based on the flavor of this expansion.



If you've played two Carrion Invaders, and another card with Prophecy, once you play your Forseen Prophecy, it will play all of that in order, if a targettable spell is in there, you can choose targets, as each is cast individually (exception is while it's your opponent's turns). Battlecries and Outcast effects will not trigger with this however, nor will any spells in it count as cast for synergy purposes, however a Prophecy is a spell by itself. Isn't it odd?

All classes will get around 2-3 cards with Prophecy, with a few one or two exceptions that will get one more.

Do you really know what's in this hollow earth? All of its secrets are deep beneath the underground? Those who move up and cause activities? Have you heard about the society living below? All of those are questions they'll ask.

Did you know that the food you eat is alive?

Was that mountain always there?

Is there a bunch of rats stealing your stuff that you can't find it?

How did that bush move like it had life?

You won't know yet, only I know, hehe...

Conspiracy Under the Cracks is the mini-set for this expansion, featuring 35 brand new cards without favoring any side of battle, legends and rumors are supposed to maintain themselves neutral over the conflict. As mentioned, this tackles conspiracies and urban legends/rumors, putting my own spin on them. You may see a lot of threes in this- I mean trees.

I was looking through the playhearthstone card library, and noticed one peculiar thing, Theotar is shown as a 6 mana 4/4

https://hearthstone.blizzard.com/en-us/cards?set=standard&sort=name%3Aasc%2Cclasses%3Aasc%2CgroupByClass%3Aasc&textFilter=theotar

I tried to post a screenshot of it but I couldn't figure out how to here.

In Rarran's video today with Celestalon, specifically the section about the revealed cards Celestalon mentioned some things about the development of some of the recently revealed cards here are some that I found interesting

Sunfury Stalwart was originally a 6/8 but didn't have rush (presumably changed as a buff)

Invincible was originally (or at some point) 7 mana (Nerfed)

There is some specific ordering in place for dual tribal tags (all that was specifically mentioned is that undead goes first)

Scourge Rager was originally a 5/5 but apparently was "too OP" (I guess there's a rallyesque card this expansion that it's really good with)

He pretty much confirmed fire warrior (when talking about embers of strength)

Not particularly notable but apparently corpse explosion's rarity was changed last minute (was an epic I'd guess)

Vampiric blood was considered to be nerfed to 3 mana late in balancing but wasn't

Just found this interesting

Do you hear that sound in the tavern? Look, it's Toki! She's playing at her favorite role-playing campaign, Trouble in Thunder Bluff! And she gathered well-known characters to play with her!

"Everyone! Listen! If I gathered you there, it's to help the Taurens of Thunder Bluff to protect their city against the Venture Company! Their president, Razdunk, wants to take their territory to build a mine there! Will you defeat him? Or will you fall against the goblins and their machines? Let's start playing!"

Trouble in Thunder Bluff brings a brand new mechanic, Abilities! The abilities are a new type of card that are added to your hand when you play an ability minion. You can play them like spells, however, if the minion dies, they disappear from your hand. These cards are not spells so they are not affected by spell damage or similar effects. You can see the health of the minion to whom they belong in the bottom-right corner of the card.

And you saw it, a new type of minions, the Taurens! They will mostly have a synergy with locations. You can expect to see them in the Druid, Paladin, Shaman, and Priest classes!
On top of that, each player has their own legendary card and a role-playing spell that refers to an action of a role-playing game.

And there she is, the promotional card, Toki, the Game Master!

Toki allows you to choose one of 4 quests at the start of the game. The quest is automatically played for both players. That means that each player can complete the quest. If your opponent also plays Toki, the second player will also choose a quest among the 3 remainings, so both players will have 2 quests!

And that's it for the presentation! Here are the cards:

Druid

Shaman

Demon Hunter

Warlock

Priest

Hunter

Paladin

Warrior

Mage

Rogue

Neutrals

Commons

Rares

Epics

Legendaries

And that's it, I hope you liked it! The set is not complete yet, the mini set will arrive soon! Good luck and have fun on your Hearthstone games!

I got this real big score and wanted to know if any of you got this kind of result before. I'm kind of surprised about the exact height of the score even:

Question: anybody got a bigger score ever?

MARVEL SNAP is here! I'll tell you, I'm pretty excited to be playing the game now - haven't gotten too far on the Collection Level or Ranked Ladder, but I'm enjoying myself. I thought that other members of the community might like to have a place to share their decks, so they can show off their collection and give other members of the community some lists worth trying out.

EDIT: Our SNAP deckbuilder is up and running!

The Hearthstone card backs section of the site hasn't been updated since May of this year. I don't mean to be pushy, but I'd like the images of the missing card backs for the wiki, and I'm not sure where else I can get them (other than making ugly cropped screenshots, which I really don't want to resort to).

Not sure if this is possible with how the bbcode rendering works but I find it frustructing to hover over a Marvel Snap card and only see the image with the cost and power of the card.  I do not know enough of the Marvel Snap cards yet to know what the ability of the card is without clicking through to the specific card page which breaks up reviewing a deck list or reading an article.

It would be nice if the card's associated Ability text could be rendered below the card's image as well.

The new champions obviously have found their competitive homes in rather straightforward pre-determined decks.

Vayne - provides extra attacks thats good, has a equipment angle that's also good

Beyoncee - just add Ionia for a cheaper and better karma

But what I haven't seen is archetypes framed around the new Darken equipment.

Demacia got a understated equipment come 5 mana challenger and bilgewater got a endgame draw payoff for casino decks.

We also got a host of new followers that don't see much play.

Most importantly we saw very little archetype support.

Where my big scary frostbite payoff or super spell, where's more ramp incentives, how about a new invoke card for slow targon?

Print more Elites?

Noxious allegiance?

I dont know it just feels like this set out of every LOR expansion to date made me want to try one Vein deck and I was like huh neat...done.

Has anyone had this happen? I'm super pissed right now, because 2 of my mercs had their equipment changed somehow, and I lost a match because of it.

If you want the details, I'm playing Old Gods almost always, Y'Shaarj with the extra attack on Rage Unbound, C'Thun with gaining stats on bench. When I summoned C'Thun in the late game, he was base stats and summoned the tentacle. I certainly never changed this equipment myself, but when I went to the collection after, sure enough, both were set to the wrong equipment. Changed them back, then won the next game.

WTF?

Hey there, can't figure this out. . . downloaded and played Snap thru Steam account on PC. Like it, so signed into steam account on a laptop, but my account and collection aren't there, have to start over completely. What can I do to play my account on another computer?

It seems the latest card nerfs are not yet updated on OoC:

Also, the pretty card background/thumbnail is not yet appearing for all the latest expansion + mini-set cards in decks.

So first impressions of the new expansion is just more of the same:

https://youtu.be/EyhxuZ9Yk38

Is this Akshan list top tier? 

Yes because it's a card cycle champion that levels faster and more reliably then TF and he's also great.

The whole just add cycle champion, plus stall, plus deny thing, then you have your one win con is just kinda boring for me.

Like out of all the new possibilities for the new set and you settle in mini karma and not even with ezreal to like do something, but again akshan...it's brutal man.

So yeah views seem low for the mini expansion, interest similarly non remarkable, so I'm gonna be playing Overwatch 2.

Which has been sick honestly, team pushing the momentum of an entire game from thr back lines just by forcing people to try to solo que you is great, and then they forget how to play the game.

I think I have that effect in shooters as well as card games.

A new card, Hell Cow, has been revealed for MARVEL SNAP!
