With the new expansion drawing closer and all the cards revealed, what do you guys think are the best cards from UiS, or ones that will see lots of play? What are the sleepers and potentially broken cards of the set? I'll start: 

Defend the Dwarven District - Even before seeing this in play in the theorycrafting streams, people were already predicting this to be really strong, and it is. Very easy to complete too; opponents are gonna have to race it down or tank up in order to avoid the inevitable.

Entitled Customer - Just a ridiculous board clear. Any Control Warlock deck in standard and wild will definitely run this. 

Alliance Bannerman - This is a card that will boost handbuff decks. You draw a minion, buff all minions in your hand, and you stick a 2/2 body on board. 

Voidtouched Attendant - If Shadow Priest becomes a thing, this 1-drop with premium stats will enable some OTKs. 

Battleground Battlemaster - A scary card that will be run in board-centric decks. 

Overdraft - Can unlock some burst damage for Shaman, especially in Wild. 

Bolner Hammerbeak - Nerf candidate, has the potential to terrorize Wild. This could enable some OTKs. 

Fun cards that I don't think will be competitive:

Raid the Docks - I love the flavor of this questline, but I'm not sure what kind of deck you can build around this. Maybe a control deck? Either way, I'm still crafting this for fun as a Warrior main. 

The Demon Seed - I watched Regis play this, and it looks incredibly fun. Balancing between life and death all game, then ultimately killing your opponent in fatigue just looks so satisfying. That said, this probably won't stand a chance against aggro decks. 

Thoughts?

Hey fellow OOCians. The new Rewards Track has started, so it´s time to make a new progression thread. Thanks to NebuchadnezzarHS for making the first thread and for passing the torch towards me. I hope this one will be as useful as the first and ya´ll feel welcome and free to post your progress or thoughts on the new rewards track, whatever you like.

I know it´s quite soon into the new track, but some of you (me included) have stacked your precious Daily and Weekly quests, so you can share how much you jumped on the track if you´ve already finished them. Only one rule in this thread: please be nice to each other. Thank you and have fun! :)

Hi guys, 

Planning to buy the tavern pass and buying around 60 packs for gold. 
Now I‘m thinking about todays weekly quests: 

- finish them before go live to benefit of the current xp bonus from barrens tavern pass (and then buy more packs for gold)

- finish them after go live so I get early progress on stormwind tavern pass

Is there a difference or is it just get more gold today vs more gold later (because of the faster progress in stormwind)?

Best, 
Bathala

I'm hoping this falls on the right eyes. I really hate how reveal season works. Dropping 80 cards on us like this really stinks. I for one really enjoy the slow drip of cards because it gives me something really exciting to watch during meals and enjoy hearing each streamers take on them.

When it's all dumped like this it takes all of the magic out of it. It's a bunch of new cards that hit the brain as less special because there's too much coming at it too fast

I would prefer it greatly being released evenly e.g. 4 cards a day over the course of a month. This would add to the fun of the anticipation and the spectacle of talking about cards leading up to the actual release 

Why do they sabotage their game like this?

Unexpected behaviour

Hello, I was building a deck earlier today and when I went to save the deck I had this message :

You have too many cards in your deck.

Please remove cards to save your deck.

The deck actually had 30 cards and the selected Game Mode was Standard (not Duels where the limit is 15).

Possible cause

It turns out that I had played around with the Game Mode selection and at some point selected Duels, which sets the card limit to 15. After reverting to Standard, the deckbuilder seems to keep the 15 cards limit in memory. I tried switching Game Mode to Duels then back to Standard but the problem persisted. I could save my deck after reloading the page.

When I first experienced the bug, the card count at the top showed 30/15. However, when I tried to reproduce the problem, it showed 30/30 (but I was still unable to save the deck because of the same message). Then I tried to reproduce the bug again... and couldn't. So I'm not sure what actually caused it.

Steps to reproduce (not guaranteed)

• Change the Game Mode several time during deck building
• Add and remove cards from the deck
• At some point, have too many cards in the deck
• Click on the Duels specific sections (Heroes, Treasures) -> note that those stayed there even when I had switched back to Standard Game Mode.

Those are things I did during my deck building.

Severity

Probably low. It could be frustrating for people trying the deckbuilder, playing around and not noticing the card list is in the address bar.

Hey.

I'm starting this game again. Historically I played it mostly at beginning. Got a couple of (newb?) questions :

- Zoe evolution condition states that she must see you playing 10 cards with different names for her to evolve. I know that for couting she must be on board. What I'm wondering is does the counter is saved if she dies and you play another ? Or do you start all over? Should it be the later, she looks... slightly impossible to evolve...

- When you buy a card skin, you're offered a free copy of the champion. But if you craft a regular copy, does it show with the skin or you must buy the skin again ?

- What do you think is the shortest/most consistent way to get Legendary Jokers ?

I've got a now probably outdated Jinx/Draven Discard aggro, which is my serious, quest grinding deck. Now what I'll be aiming is playing dank meme decks, because I like whacky conditions. What I've been thinking to build (for the lulz, not for the winrate lol) :

- Any EDH deck (one copy only of each card)

- A deck with 3 copy of Zoe cuz I love the mechanics behind the card even if she looks... erh

- A landmark deck (coming from Shadowverse and I loved countdown amulets)

- A heavily RNG based deck (much like Hearthstone Tess Rogue) when I want to shut down teh brain.

So last question : What's your most whacky/meme deck ?

I heard it's 3rd August 10 am PST...can anybody confirm? thanks!

I found the original one pretty neat, let’s see how this goes...

To quote the legendary Riosix:

It's a treasure hunt using your Hearthstone card collection. I'll start it off with a riddle, and you try to figure out what card I'm talking about. First one to answer correctly picks a new card and makes the next riddle. Make it as difficult as you want, just not impossible :)

I’ll start with:

Alone I’m quite fearsome,

you better watch out,

but doubled I’m more than tripled,

and my gurgle - a mighty shout.

EDIT: Added leaderboard:

I could not find It Reported anywhere else so I thought about making a post about It.

So I was checking my Barranca achivements (as I just finished one) and noticed some of them still had Chest around them. It seems like all Golden Cards given through the battlepass can be obtained vía achivements since last patch.

Even Golden Shadowhunter Voljin is invluded

These requieres owning the original Card, But I feel this is great for the long term! 

This rewards are still undustable. Will try to finish one of them to get a duplicate and see what happens.

It seems that Diamond Samuro Will still be a tavern pass exclusive though.

You don't see something as gloriously weird as Maestra of the Masquerade without at least trying to make practical use of it beyond just bamboozling the opponent at the start of the game. The dream is to somehow exploit it with Tess Greymane, but that has problems with not being able to run anything other than rogue and neutral cards, so you'll quickly return to a normal burgle rogue except for being able to get a couple of extra cards from Maestra's pretend class with things like Wandmaker. 

That's fine, but not exciting.

Then it hit me. The most glorious little unused meme card that turns our hopes for a meme into reality. Behold, Wyrmrest Purifier!

Originally intended for Pure Paladin, now used to make a genuine, bona fide dual-class deck. No need to waste time generating cards, just transform all your neutrals at the start! And if you don't draw the purifier early, no worries because you can make a fully competent deck that just happens to run Maestra, Tess and 2x Purifier.

Will it be good? No. But is it the sort of thing that I keep playing HS for? Absolutely!

After the latest patch I'm unable to play on my Amazon Fire tablet.  I uninstalled/reinstalled and I can play when selecting the "I'm new" button but when I select "Log in" it goes back the opening hearthstone screen and freezes.  I saw a thread on the tech support forums of people saying they had the same issues and also made a post there.  Has anyone else experienced this or somehow found a work around?  Thanks for any help.

Just quickly pointing out that Noggen-Fog Generator gives a minion full stealth, not just for 1 turn, making it the only option in the game to give any minion quasi-permanent stealth since Master of Disguise got nerfed.

Most of the time that isn't super important, and it almost certainly won't ever be meta-relevant, but it does open a lot of doors for meme rogue players. Basically any card with a useful 'end of turn' effect, or one that triggers whenever X happens, would love permanent stealth. Shadowjeweler Hanar is an obvious choice to annoy the hell out of your opponents in Standard, while Wild has everything from Sonya Shadowdancer and Spirit of the Shark up to Troggzor the Earthinator and Mayor Noggenfogger* himself.

* You might need a bit of luck to actually hit him though :P

Deckbuilding is limited a bit by needing a bunch of SI:7 cards to reach Spymaster Scabbs and guarantee a Noggen-Fog Generator, but they at least provide a functional starting point for the deck, so that's OK.

That's all I had to say really. It got my creative juices flowing, so maybe it'll do the same for someone else too.

Can someone confirm if this is happening to them too? Whenever I try to play it pops up the prompt to pay money or gold or exit except it doesn't make it fully to the screen. It stays blurred in the background. All I can do is exit. 

Is there any information about the usual firesite gathering this weekend? Usually you can set up an event Friday-Sunday before the expansion comes out, will it with this time?

I've noticed that some non-article things are shown on the main page, but not on the game specific sub-page. The Stormwind Launch Countdown aswell as the "81 Card revealed" and "Dreamhack Beyond" Banners are some current examples of this.

I would appreciate it if you could also add these und future things to the /hearthstone page since that's the page I actually bookmarked.

Hi guys, I saw a notification that in 5 days Duels would be rotating cards, should I leave a Heroic Duels run with 2 loses so I get a free ticket like in arena?

Hello there

Does anyone know how those two will Interact?

Could i put C'thun in my deck and still enter Shadowform with Benedictus at the start of the game? Because if C'thun happens before him not all my spells are Shadow Anymore and therefor he will not grant me Shadowform right?

Which one proccs first?

A new Common Warlock Spell, Final Gasp, has been revealed!
