Haven't seen anything here yet, but Hearthstone Top Decks has a list for cards rotating in/out for 2022.  If accurate, I think I only counted 1 Epic, 4 Rares, and 2 Commons rotating out that were Core '21 specific.  So if you want them it's either a) not a huge dust investment to craft or b) if they are added to the Legacy packs should be easy to obtain if you already have all the Legacy cards.  Open a few packs and you'll likely get most of them.

That said, are they being added to Legacy packs?  I can't remember.

UPDATE: Looks like the team is working on it.  In the Cards search page you can select Core 2022 as a set.

Welcome to the Hearthstone Class Master tournament test runs

What is the Hearthstone Class Master Championship?

"...Hearthstone Class Master Championship, aka HCM, is a new concept of a championship where players choose 1 class, for example Warrior and they enter a league of other Warrior players to compete with each other for the best warrior of the league. Same applies for the rest of the classes."

What is the Hearthstone Class Master tournament test runs?

"...these are some vital tests that we need to run before we officially launch the HCMC where we are to assess player experience and levels of player participation. The tournament test runs differ from our final product in many ways but the core idea of the championship which is non other than to bring players of the same class to compete with each other for the title of the best of the class, is there!"

What is the first class to open the tournament test runs?

"...We open with the Shamans showdown and we will continue with the rest of the classes. Do not worry, unlike HCMC where a player chooses to play one class only, in our tournament test runs you can play with all classes, one at a time."

Who can participate in the tournament test runs?

"...You need to:

• Play the current competing class (for now Shaman)
  
• Reside in Europe
• Have 3 wild decks ready

You can read more of how to play in our simple description of the tournament test runs"

Does it involve any rewards?

"...Yes it involves a price pool money reward but it is a very small symbolic amount. When our main title opens, the price pool money is of course expected to be significantly higher."

Where can I learn more of this project?

"...You can learn more in the Hearthstone Class Master Championship Facebook page and of course we would be more than happy if you could drop us a like, follow our posts and participate in our efforts with your constructive criticism."

Where do I sign in for the current tournament test runs?

"...We will be more than happy to see you getting involved in our newfound family! Welcome to the Hearthstone Class Master tournament test runs! May the best Shaman win!"

Cycling has existed in many iterations in this game, and each one of them past vanilla has been problematic from a balance perspective

1. Yoink

Play a creature and steal a card from your opponents deck the original OP Cycling mechanic that was so strong midrange plunder was a tier 1 deck for longer then memory serves.

2. Invoke

Play an expensive creature to get a card, now we no longer need a pre-condition we just spend 1 mana more. People are generally okay with invoke, tempo is an easy thing to balance and while there have been OP Targon decks invoke has never needed adjustment directly.

3. Darkness

What if every creature gave you removal and was fairly costed...hmmm yes now we start to see that we no longer need to pay for tempo or pre-conditions

4. Manifest

What if you could play a creature that gave you answers to things your deck wasn't built for? Yep Mogwai had been the most vocal for the nerfing of this mechanic and it finally happened a bit this patch.

5. Counters?

There is no hard counter for card advantage except for combo decks. Lee Sin offering otk options isn't great he can be removed. Ezreal/Carina is a control card he can be out card advantaged in situations he should be favored.

So finally we have mono shurima a midrange (landmark) based combo deck that is actually good and doesn't care about card advantage.

Cycling for the first time ever since LOR has existed is now being hard countered...and people are pissed.

Welcome to how the rest of us have felt as you yanked, invoked, and manifested to victory winning games you shouldn't, with nothing the other player could do.

Have fun for the next month till the end of April and mono Shurima gets gutted again because people can't auto-cue and auto-win with pure card advantage anymore.

The stats are up on Runeterra.Ar, and I have some personal experience with it as well. The site's data shows about 8.5k games played, making it a whopping 17% playrate over the past two days, which is pretty insane. About double the playrate of anything in the past few months. But its winrate is only about 53%.

Yes, it can highroll pretty hard. Yes, it's actually a good deck now. No, it's not as OP as people think it is.

Examples of decks that beat it:

• Elise Spiders - mono-shurima is actually listed on Runeterra.Ar as the best matchup currently for spiders. Spiders deck has a 1.5% playrate and a 55% winrate overall - no doubt thanks to the easy wins from all the mono-shurima players
• Azir/Irelia - mono-shurima is also listed as the best matchup for this deck as well - this deck that got nerfed hard in the past and fell off the scene for a long time. Well, it's back, and it's eating mono-shurima for breakfast. Azirelia's playrate is at 2% and winrate is at 57%.

So, yeah, guys. Don't fall into the trap of the alarmist hype that mono-Shurima is completely broken and OP. It just isn't.

Side note - I played 5 games with the deck in Plat 2 and lost literally all 5 games. Never touching it again. Time to play decks that beat up on it, so I can get back my lost LP. Also, just for fun in normals, I played an old poro deck with Fabled Poro and such, focused on building a buffed board of all types of poros, and I queued into mono-Shurima all three games so far, and I completely wrecked my opponent in all of those games - with poros. Seriously, the deck can't be that good if it folds to poros. (Edit - though, to be fair, I did include two copies of Aftershock in there, and those did have an impact on two of my wins. In one of the wins, the opponent put their Xerath into a landmark, preparing to level him when he popped out the next turn. Aftershock ended that dream, and the game. In the other game, the opponent didn't bother to spellshield the Sundisc, so I killed it. Third game, I just beat him the normal way.)

Just a threat to give some insights, discoveries, non-obvious interactions, etc.

TIL that in order to play tradeable cards you need at least one card in your deck.

I played Okani and countered a enemy minion. I had the secret Plagiarize up and it was triggered at the end of the turn by the countered minion. I didn't get anything from it.

The bug being that the secret was triggered.

I'm a little confused about the 'Immune' Keyword, as it reads "Can't be damaged".

However, I wasn't able to play Shadow Word: Death on my opponents Raid Boss Onyxia in a Duels game.

• Yes, there still were welps alive.
• Yes, I could target other minions (Lokholar the Ice Lord specifically).
• Yes, I tried targeting over several turns including rejoining the Game.
• No, the card did not glow. (=wasn't playable)

Yes, I still won...

worth to read (hint: it was posted yesterday!) :)

This is undoubtedly the healthiest meta movement I've seen since bandlewood released in LOR so one year let's say.

https://lor.mobalytics.gg/stats/archetypes

Why do I say that oh mono Shurima is OP no it isn't its at 52%

What people really mean is that a lot of the value grinding lists that were oppressive are now bad.

Darkness while never OP did start the trend of play a creature that give you a free card, rinse and repeat till win.

Now we are seeing these "cycling" decks fall below 50% because even if everything cycles and they have infinite value they will still lose to mono shurima which is good 

Ramp decks are back at 54% winrate whens the last time we saw that?

Pantheon is still good for those that like him at 54%

Aggro still does aggro things.

So across the board the "decks" are getting better and the "card piles" are getting worse 

I view that as amazing, but the people who have gotten used to this game being this way for so long will hate it.

I'd like a way to save drafts. I'm working on something that'll more time than I can dedicate to writing in one day.

Card game is dominated by HS and that's period. Is there anything new digital card game on a horizon? Can't find anything on Google tbh.

Lots of QoL changes, like this one:

Bug Fixes and Game Improvements

• Fixed a bug where certain accounts would always queue into unfavorable matchups.

So mono shurima is an archetype that I have experience with long before it was playable.

Here's a list of counter decks beyond the obvious, landmark removal lists.

1. Nasus slay, otk options are dangerous against mono shurima because of a lack of hard removal. So creating a champion that is 20/20 representing fast speed lethal is very dangerous back up by your own counter spell. Also quite agressive traditionally.

2. Swain represents strong removal options but also stun lock endgame with lethiathan, always a valid option he's never out of style.

3. Burn aggro, compared to the board reliant all in play styles of spiders that will struggle going into the buffed quicksand, sitting on the sidelines and slinging spells whether that's prankster ephemerals with monkeys or a more direct approach should be effective.

4. Dragons, strong challengers with cheap demacia removal will present a problem for mono shurima when they have none of their own. Then you can ramp into Asol and see what wins.

5. Rally/predict/sandman/scouts extra attack phases have always been extremely problematic for mono shurima to deal with. Just because they are a little faster now doesn't change that.

6. Deep/lasandra hard to win without a deck God emporer or no he's not immune to mill.

***the meta is changing time to change back with it, to high synergy decks with unique wincons and not just value vomit***

Do that and you'll be fine.

Here we have two decks to show you which is better against Shurima.

One is your standard value grind that is effective in the previous meta and the other is an even older school build that is fast and effective against high synergy brews should they get popular again.

Neither one is inherantly better then the other, they just serve different purposes and learning the difference will make you a better player, and you'll spend less time arguing on Twitter about buffs to weak high synergy decks.

So here we have the buffed deck why is the faster high synergy burn list better then the control list.

Because they only have the following lines of play, play creatures to stall, burst speed interaction to stall, rite of the arcane, and counter spells.

None of that is great at dealing with low curve fast win cons with a burn finish.

Option 2 if you don't want to go under with high synergy, you go over with high synergy

Turbo ramp into an Asol, or obliterate their deck, or play an old fashioned war mothers is honestly to strong for them to deal with
