I found this as early as last week Tavern Brawl, when I opened my 40th Year of Phoenix pack (counted from the last legendary).
Spoiler: It doesn't have any legendary in it.
And I've been thinking, since I write down every pack I've opened down to the rarity details, I'm pretty sure it was my 40th. But okay, maybe there's some packs I've miscounted and hope that this week's bonus pack there'll be some answer.
2nd Spoiler: It still doesn't have any legendary card in it, (the fact that this is my 10th 40 dust pack, without any epics, double rares or golden). Thus, this week makes my 41st of legendary less pack.
And so, I'm starting to google if there's anyone having the same problem, and found this on reddit. Not only that, some people doesn't get any legendary in their first 10 pack.
Is this true? That not every traditional HS pack have pity timer? Anyone got the same problem?

Today I did a heroic Balinda run to finally unlock her. First thing: my Brightwing had a Equilibrium treasure that gave +2 to Nature and Fire. But BWs skill did get no buff! It still did 9 instead of 11. I can provide a screenshot of this but this is on my mobile and I have to reactivate my imgur account. Chi-Ji on the other hand also haf an Equilibrium (the one with heal power) but it didn't affect any skill, too (no screenshot).
Second: during the run I got Samuro task 18. 450 damage to heroic bosses. After the Balinda fight it was at 355/450. No screenshot of this because I did not thought it would be relevant. But trust me I chose Barrens-1 deliberately because there is a 40 and a 60 health boss. I double checked wether its over 350. And because I am making more damage than the health total (like 10 hp left, 20 critical dmg) I am on the safe side. Right? No, I ended up with 441/450? Can anyone explain this? I have a screenshot after the bounty

With the reveal of Pirate Admiral Hooktusk being one of the most flavourful cards I can think of, I thought it would be nice to step back from card power, tilt-factors and meta-relevance to focus on an aspect of the game everyone agrees is great: theme and flavour. Since Hooktusk was probably my favourite character in all of HS already (and because I have 2 weeks off work and a ton of time to kill) it felt fitting to do a deep dive on the character and appreciate all the little details the HS team put in.
All are welcome to point out what I missed, or show their own appreciation for their own HS character... in far fewer words I expect.
The HS-original pirates are an eccentric bunch. Skycap'n Kragg comes in flying a giant parrot, wielding a lance with a hook on the end, and cramming a few extra 'r's in the charge keyword (kicking off a trend that continues in pirate cards to this day). Then Patches the Pirate gets fired as a cannon ball onto the field, wearing more eye patches than most organisms have eyes, and originally having another eye pun in his attack voiceline. Both are perfect examples of HS whimsy done right. Indeed, Kragg's appearance in the TGT trailer was practically the original statement that HS no longer follows WoW lore closely. (The irony of course being that he was later made canon in WoW.)
Captain Hooktusk's eccentricities are a bit more subtle, and aren't defining features so much as clues to her personality. Between her portable cannon, her ridiculous belt anchor beneath a shark emblem, her obnoxiously elaborate and bright pink hair, and of course, the hooks on her tusks, we immediately know she's not interested in hiding in the shadows like most rogue characters. She's here to be noticed, with enough flair to overshadow her contemporaries in RR - which is impressive given the set's whole theme was showmanship.
She's also flexing pretty hard that she can carry a cast iron cannon with one hand while the other juggles a cannonball like its nothing. Coupled with that grin, it's a really disconcerting mix of playful and threatening. Finally, she's happy with a low cut shirt revealing cleavage. Unlike Jaina, I get the feeling Hooktusk would actually seek to exploit that feature, and if you told her to cover up she's gladly fire that cannon at you.
Luckily, RR gave us a couple of images of Hooktusk in action too. She's swinging around in Cannon Barrage and rappelling with her crew in Raiding Party. Again, there's no stealth here. It's all show and would be a joy to watch… so long as she isn't coming for you.
When we factor in her various voicelines, she goes from an awesome deign to an instantly lovable character. Consider her entrance voiceline: “Cheatin’?! I never fight fair!” This is not some generic “For the Horde”-esque entrance. No. She’s clearly just been accused of cheating and says the “Cheatin’?!” as though insulted. Not because it isn’t true - she immediately admits she always cheats - but because she’s amazed they even needed to point it out.
Add in her Rumble Run voicelines, and we develop her cheating ways further: as the fight starts she says “I’ll fight fair. Dis time. Promise.”… She doesn't. Obviously. Her responses to her shrine dying add to her little mind games. While everyone else gets cross or worries how to proceed, she says things like "Ya think that's a good idea?", making poor Rikkar (the player's character) question whether he made a terrible mistake. Other times she'll just pass it off with "Eh. It was just a distraction anyways." Whether she actually thinks that or not is entirely unclear to us, and there's nothing more dangerous than an enemy you don't understand.
A personal favourite is when you threaten her, and she replies with "Bwa-haha. Oh… you were serious?" She's just having fun mocking you. But she knows to be serious when she needs to be. Emote her in Tamsin's chapter of the Book of Mercs and she'll reply with "Loose lips sink ships." Which demonstrates her playful demeanor is a facade hiding a mind that knows exactly what she's doing. Kind of like a more playful Jack Sparrow, which is high praise.
To top it off, her voice actress does a stellar job. Writing quotes down is one thing, but you really need to listen to them to truly appreciate them.
New card, new promotion, and new look. Kind of. Pirate Admiral Hooktusk looks mostly the same with significantly bulkier arms. Presumably since she's been swimming a lot more lately. Admittedly the extra bulk made it more plausible she was going to be a warrior card, which would have sucked for me personally. I'm glad that didn't happen.
There are more subtle changes that are probably more important: her ponytail now ends with a shark tail like shape; and when she's underwater (see the Sunken City trailer and the minion art, but not art for the Plunder options) she has light blue stripes (likely representing gills) on her arms and a dorsal fin like shape behind her head. I suspect these are visual representations of Gral's power letting her swim fast and breathe underwater. If so, that's a pretty cool bit of character progression.
Her eyes might also have white goggle-like barriers over them underwater. That's what it looks like in the trailer, but I haven't seen a high enough resolution image of the card to tell there.
Her first card, Captain Hooktusk, won me a lot of games (yes, despite it being an 8-mana card in an aggessive deck), and I get the flavour: her opponent thinks she's alone for a fair fight, only to get jumped by her crew. So she's cheating thematically, but mechanically… not so much. She turned up at a time recruit was still in Standard, so it felt well within the rules of the game, and hence took me a while to work out what the flavour was.
The new Pirate Admiral Hooktusk is much clearer on the matter. Two of her options were utterly ruled out in the early days of HS, and even if a couple of similar effects have existed since, it is absolutely going to feel like cheating when it is done to you. But it's flavourful cheating. She's always stealing something. She's boarded your ship, tied up the crew, and is making off with the goods. Furthermore, they actually call back to her Treasure from Below shrine in Rumble Run, which is just so fitting here.
The art depicts this story beautifully, using the option 'cards' to go beyond the power pose of the base minion and show what happened after she burst into Faelin's ship. It didn't go well for him, Finley or Ini (I think that's the name of the female mecha gnome). Poor Ini is faced with Hooktusk pointing the cannon at her and juggling a cannonball, calling back the the original RR card and showing she actually does that outside of a photo shoot.
I don't think any other card has been able to tell the story surrounding the base artwork so well, especially not in so self-contained a way. I hope they find ways to do this sort of thing again in future. There must be so many little stories to tell this way that we'd never know if we only get single snapshots.
Now we're here, it is clear Hooktusk was added to Tamsin's Book of Mercs chapter to softly re-introduce the character before she made a bigger appearance in Sunken City. However you feel about the Book of Mercs, it's neat to retroactively see the thought that went into them.
Now I've done this for Hooktusk, I feel kinda guilty for not paying more attention to a lot of cards. I'm sure there's a lot to find in them!

Hey all I hope you're having a good day so far. As the title stats I am new to the game and just started Sunday and getting into it. I have played other card game system such as pokemon, yu-gi-oh when it first came out and after so many years my cards got stolen. 3k or more worth of cards, haven't played sense. I did magic a bit when I was in high school but didn't get too into it. And then heartstone, been in and out of it until hearing what been going on with Blizzard and though it was time to get away from it. So now trying Runeterra, so far it has kept me interested. I done all the bonus challenges and done some of the Path of Champions with Jinx. That said I got a good idea how the card works and went to see about making decks, that's where I am having some trouble.
I've seen online people post out their overpowered decks and really, I don't want to do the whole copy and paste type of thing. I want my own or if anything a deck outline and tweak it to fit my style. After trying to make deck I notice I can only do like two regions, yet I see online people have three which I like to know how that is posable. But with that in mind I that's where I need your help, want to make a few decks base from the other card games I played and hoping maybe those will work well with today's Runeterra's card sets. At the very least tell me what regions combos I should focus on to make it work. Also any tips or suggestions you may think of.
For the first deck it is base from my old yu-gi-oh, a field control you might say. The main theme of it was jinzo and horus, to stop most magic and trap cards which at the time was hard to beat. The idea of preventing your opponent in using most their good card because I had mine blocking it. Giving me time to build and hit hard. What regions would you suggest to make something like that? Or even what card you think I would be worth focusing on?
For the second deck in mind I think fits more of a Targon but I am not sure. This base idea was from a priest deck in heartstone. My main card, Sethekk Veilweaver. It's ability is to give you a random priest magic card for every time you cast a spell on a minion. This combo plus buffs with other monsters I thought did real well, even more so when I was able to clone them lol. I would most of the time have a full hand of card but not enough mana to use them all. This again might be a control deck but like the idea of always have some cards at hand that could change the outcome of a game if that make sense? So I am wondering what would you say I need go with to fight that type of deck?
Thats about all I have in my mind right now and I hope some of you out there could give me your input and ideas of what I should go from here.

Returning Keyword: Magnetic
Zilliax , Reno Jackson , Finja, the Flying Star will be in the coreset
Seeing as they are bringing Mech Mage back they are most likely giving it support in the coreset. Magnetic would be a good way to boost it's strength.
Blizzard has also said they want to go in a more board based direction this year.
One of the best board based cards ever is The Lich King So I'd bet he will be in the coreset as well.
Rogue secrets are rotating I could see Rogue getting a couple secrets back in the coreset and of course some pirate synergy
General Coreset Direction:
Hunter: Deathrattle package
Warlock: Zoo Package
Mage: Mech Package
Shaman: Token Package
Priest: Spell Package
Paladin: Mech
Druid: Beast
Warrior: Midrange/Control
DH: idk lol
Neutral: Mechs, Murlocs, Nagas, Elementals, a bit of everything

Hi there!
I must say since the name of the expansion leaked , im pretty excited!!
Voyage to the Sunken City - this sounds amazing and i sincerely hope it will be! I like the nautical theme the trailer gives us and as far as i know Nazjatar has lots of potential to give us a good expansion!
I hope to see some fishmen, lizards, murclos, mermaids, etc.
What do you hope to find in the Sunken City?
Anyone else excited or is it just me ? :)

It's actually mostly the same as last week. Darkness control still has the highest playrate.
Taliyah/Ziggs has not held up as a major contender.
Fizz Lulu has the highest winrate.
Aggro is slightly more playable than last week, but still has a lackluster winrate.
If you go read the article, take note:

I was wondering, how do you deal with the feeling of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) in Hearthstone or any other game?
I am pretty sure I have never missed out on a daily or weekly quest and I recently completed the entire Rewards Track (for the second time) with a full month to spare. I have to attribute these personal feats mostly to FOMO.
I have played other games in the past which consumed most of my spare time and my only working solution so far was to complelety abandon them. Since I am a Hearthstone whale I cannot rationally convince myself to repeat the same thing nor should it be necessary I feel.

Hi,
I'm trying to beat Galvangar heroic for the equipment. I watched Old Guardian's guides to this encounter.
First he recommends Orcs. But my Orcs are not in a good shape as I crafted Garrosh and Thrall recently. My greens are ok (Rokara and Samuro maxed) but the reds have the skills and the item on 3. Except Thrall's item is on 4. I tried 3 times but did not succeed. Even with good treasures like Warchiefs blessing. OG starts with 30+ attack on his Orcs which I could not achieve. I start with the 3 reds, do I? Do I focus Galvangar or the green add? I tried both, but nothing worked.
The second sugestion of OG for the budget comp does not help me because my own Galvangar is not playable.
Am I doing sth wrong? Is my comp to underleveled? Is there any other comp I could try?

So this is the first deck that I've built that I'm satisfied with. But I'm wondering if it's optimized.
Had Ava in, then removed her, then added her again, and I'm considering Hexcore Foundry
I'm thinking Sticky Whump can probably go.
The three key cards of the deck are Ballistic Bot , Puffcap Peddler, and Ambush (And I guess Ignition )
(Edit)
The purpose of Calculated Creations is to really make sure I get a Ballistic bot. And I don't mind having multiples. Practical Perfectionist serves a similar purpose, but it also helps me get the peddler, which I also don't mind having multiples of either. But there may be a better card for that, though I like having the effect come with a body I can block with. That's why I'm not running things like Conchologist. I'm not just looking for pure CA. I'm really aiming to draw specific cards.
The deck wins either with Peddler and Ava Achiever, or ambush + Ballistic bot, or a mix of both. Obviously, ballistic bot synergizes with the peddler.
