any news?

Should [Libram] Get [Spell School: Holy] ?

So, the Unseen Gleams card back that was added to the game a few months ago with no image is apparently in the game now.

If that looks familiar, that's because it's the third of the four contest-winning card backs from that Chinese contest back in 2020. Which is a shame, because I really wanted this card back, and it sounds like I won't be getting it. I don't know what a Huawei device is, but I'm gonna guess it's not very widespread in Canada.

Still really cool for the winners though. I hope we get that Murloc one soon, and it's easily obtained.

So patch 3.1 would have been an interesting time to adjust some underplayed Champs going into the new expansion.

However we didn't get that which means things are set going into the expansion on the 16th and.beyond.

Future patches post expansion will likely focus on adjusted newly released cards.

So if you were desperately waiting on a Garen or Katarina buff, that isn't happening.

So I'll see you all in 16 days.

So I was wondering what your guy's favorite expansions were STORY wise not meta wise. My heart eternally belongs to the Rise of shadows line because I love the villans and League of explorers. Also the songs were fire. So now I ask what was your favorite/favorites? bonus points if you talk about your favorite song and why it's witchwood or SOU.

Competition Theme: One Card To Rule The Brawl

You've only got one card to win this Tavern Brawl, so you'd better make sure it counts!

• You must create a card that could be used in a "All 30 cards in your deck are this card" Tavern Brawl
  • Think cards like Unstable Portal or Hallucination - it must still make sense as a normal Hearthstone card!

Sometimes keeping it simple is better - and Jhamel wants you to keep the deck as simple as possible this week!

As always, I can be reached through Discord or here on the site via PM if you have any issues to report.

Hi,

Saw there were some nerfs to Warrior and Hunter. 

What is the state in wild now? Are hunters and Warriors as powerful as they were?

Thank you for helping!

Hey there. I hadn't seen anything about it, but maybe this is common knowledge - if it isn't, just want to let folks know i was able to purchase/craft that cardback for 600 gold. Glowed blue like a craftable card. I don't usually browse my cardbacks much, so maybe it's been like that awhile and I never noticed or saw it mentioned here. If that's the case, hey, I wasted 30 seconds of your time :)

Morning all, I'm sitting at Diamond 3 and I'm currently facing endless amounts of Pirate Warrior, Quest Hunter and big Warlock decks.

Really hoping someone can reccomend me a deck to try which could see me up to legend. I've never got there before in my 5 years of playing and I'd love to get that card back! 

Any tips welcome, have a great weekend. X

We got some pretty big shifts in the S tier again.

Not gonna waste much time.

Pirate aggro is in S tier again, some would argue mostly me that it never left based solely on the numbers it just got outshined by pre nerf Poppy.

Scouts, hey can't complain about this deck being in S tier, it has a clear champ focused wincon and Quin is just kinda cool from a design perspective.

Spiders drops down, to A only because one pure aggro deck gets to be in S tier and pirate aggro has always been more consistent for like the last two years...but it's nice to see the rankings reflect the obvious.

Zed rally drops down too, mainly because Kenin Ahiri can stun Zed all day and rallies become useless.

Honestly minus Kenin it's basically Bilgewater meta, and if you liked that you will be happy, if you hated it well too bad.

We'll talk about something other than meta shifts when there is something else to actually talk about.

this week was patch week if i not mistaken why out of cards didnt post the patch notes? i am  away from runeterra for a while playing other stuff but i was looking foward to a new patch to see some new path of champions stuff. any info will be apreciated, thanks in advance guys!

Hello everyone,

how do I aquire the new "task 7" item? I had Natalie in my team in the Avalanchan heroic bounty (still need Ragnaros and 4 coins are missing). But I didn't get her task 7 item. It doesn't help that the bugged tooltip shows "task 6". *rolleyes*

Or is this not for the old Mercs just for Balinda, Wrathion & co?

Someone on Twitter spotted this -- the collection manager now shows a "Sha Illidan" hero, which apparently you get by buying the "Evil from Pandaria" bundle. Could that be the next expansion?

Now I play this game off and on, mostly just to log in and have some fun with a few fun decks I have and play some mercs but when I heard about the dust refund thing I logged in right away.

When I fired up the menu, I had 2 pop-ups saying I gained 1600 dust. But when actually looked I didn't get anything at all. 

Now since I haven't been following the game somewhat I knew people were upset about the dust refund but i didnt know why. Is this why?

Talking about mobile client here.

Is there any way to see how much progress the Merc has? If you click on the xp bar the Merc gets the XP and the training stops and starts again after a 20 second delay. Is there any possibility to see the progress in advance without stopping? On the other hand: I had the  xp bar im the TG filled by like 10 % before I clicked it. What is the percentage about? Time from max time? 

I tried to switch the trained Merc. Dragging a new one in results in "no free slots" message, but I couldn't dragg the training Merc back either. I had to stop it by clicking thr bar and could remove him during the delay. Is this the only way to do it?

Bug: you can select Mercs you don't own but are able to craft in the TG selection list. Dragging them onto a training slot will result in freezing the game.

I've played literally too many games to count since the patch. I've played all f-ing weekend. It must have been 100 games by now. I'm at the point where I'm just tanking my MMR conceding to try to find the new hero. 

I payed real money for "perks." Why can't I play the new content? This is really frustrating.

This has been driving me nuts, and I'd be willing to wager that there are a ton of other people that feel the same.  I normally love to go in and bust out these achievements for the new expansion as it gets you more XP and higher on the rewards track to earn more gold with each level.  This time around though, does anyone else feel that Blizzard has taken their sweet time in addressing these bugs?

I had posted/reported a number of bugs with these achievements since day one and I am still finding myself at a loss for words.  I've not heard of any announcement of when/if they are planning on addressing these bugs.  I have been checking the forums of several sites and Blizzard numerous times and I haven't seen anything.

I work in software, so I know that this time of year... virtually nothing gets done.  Most people are taking time off for the holidays and such.  So I can anticipate there being a delay.  But even in most software environments it feels that there is some kind of information available.  But for this expansion it sounds like crickets. 

What are everyone else's experiences with this so far?
