I've just randomly come up with an idea for a league or a series of tournaments for Wild players who would enjoy theorycrafting decks.

So the format would be similar to what Brawl Blocks were, so forcing decks to be built from cards from set expansions. There would be a few expansions, with voting at the end of each cycle on which expansion to add to the pool, up to six or seven; or vote for an expansion to be rotated with another. Then every two months, it's reset to four expansions. The last two weeks before the reset would be playoffs. Also, Core 2021 would be an omnipresent set to give each class more tools that are interchangable and cover some stuff that expansions cannot.

It's still a loose idea, but I think it would be a great idea overall to showcase the community's creativity.

Glad there's more attention being given to the archetypes that have been subtly improved with the new expansion

I'll expand on the list provided in the article with both of us agreeing that bloodletter is fantastic for Vlad

I prefer the healing synergy with vlad soraka, instead of the obvious vlad braum

----------------------------------------------------------

The next one is dragon chow, not only does this hyper level Shivana it provides Demacia with cycling tools which is always needed

I usually prefer Shivana Lux to Shivana Asol

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Spiders are just a starter list right...wrong

Thanks to this puppy we now have up to 3 grant effects for our go wide tribal strategy that is insanely good

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thorn of the rose is everything Yassao needed

The card advantage, the removal, the retreat synergy

It's gotten to the point where you don't need roar anymore

Which is great that card is super situational

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Having Bilgewater be the king of elusives felt wrong

Thankfully ionia got this great tool for strong combo potential

-----------------------------------------------------------

While jarvan is actually underperforming

This girl is single handedly the best reason to run elites again

Just being able to drop a Garen with challenger is insane

and honored lord is no slouch

You'll notice I still use 1 cythria, I also believe in grant abilities for tibal decks such as reinforcements

Sucession is a flexible 3 drop that empowers passes in situations and off curve plays

----------------------------------------------------------

Last but not least we have production surge being a hyper enabler for Heimer level up

This week I rerolled the "deal x dmg to minions in BG" to get  "finish top4 in bg". I rerolled that into "spend 500 mana". Now I rerolled another quest (5 wins BG, Duels, TB) and got "deal x dmg to minions in BG" AGAIN!

I can't play BG. All my clients (mobile, Windows VM) are so slow that the rope is halfway done, when I enter Bob's Tavern. 

I know that some people play only BG and they are happy about that. That should not be changed. But if they don't play ranked then they can reroll this into sth. which isn't ranked quest. But as non BG-player you can't avoid BG quests! Why are BG rerolls not rerolled into non-BG-quests?

I am trying to figure out why APM Mage is not getting nerfed but the Tiller otk decks got nerfed in only a week. Can anyone share their thoughts on what key differences make APM Mage fine for the meta as opposed to Tiller decks, or of any other similarities?

Here are the similarities I see so far:

Both can combo as early as turn 4 but go off consistently by about turn 7

Both are countered by certain hunter secrets

Both are countered by certain mage secrets

Both are countered by hyper aggro decks

Both deal about 60 damage maximum

Dirty rat effect needs to be duplicated or the deck can still combo due to redundancy in combo pieces

Both are delayed by Loatheb

A new Legendary Hunter Minion, Barak Kodobane, has been revealed!

This is a bit of a lame topic, but I made a bunch of cards based around adages from where I live. Appart from commenting my cards, I would really love it if you shared cards based around adages from your home country/region, so that we can learn a bit from each other's cultures and expand our worldview a little bit :)

I picked three adages in Spanish and two in Catalan, since both of this languages are spoken in my home region.

Aunque la mona se vista de seda, mona se queda.

A qui es burla, el dimoni li furga.

Al que madruga, Dios le ayuda.

Li diu el mort al degollat: qui t'ha fer eixe forat?

En abril, aguas mil.

I hope you enjoyed this small selection of cards and the explanations of their flavor. As I said early, I'm looking forward to see similar cards from adages in other languages :)

So there is a lot of weaving going on in Priest lately with the Veilweaver-bloodweaver-Rally combo that generates tons of spells and discounts them.
It sure can be pretty fun to generate spells and sling those cards with multiple weavers on the board but I see the same "misplay" again and again.

Do you guys agree that playing a Renew with a single veilweaver only to generate a random card is a misplay? You essentially trade a card, you consciously put in your deck for a random one. Seems like a bad deal to me.

There are obviously exceptions:

- Multiple veilweavers
- Desperation for a clear
- Lots of spare mana with a light hand

But i've seen way to many priests throw away their renews for the sake of a random card.

Does anyone know how does Vectus' Whelps work with Aegwynn's Deathrattle effect? Do those Whelps then make other minions you draw inherit the Whelp's powers, like any enchantments it gets (ex. Lifesteal or Rush)?

I feel bad for Maokai  players.

I think the watcher needs an adjustment. If it had the same effect as Maokai  it would be ok. As it stands though it’s win condition is just unmatched IMO. 

What is everyone else thinking?

Clefthoof the card you summon four times with Nagrand Slam usually doesn't have card text. They're plain 3/5 that only attack immediately because of the text on the spell, not because of any card text on the Clefthoofs. However, I just discovered that when you gain control of an opponent's Clefthoof by using Silas Darkmoon it gains Rush as card text. And yes, you can also immediately attack with it, tho I didn't because I misplayed and missed lethal as this interaction came as a total surprise to me.

Haven't tested it, but I'm assuming this works with Initiation, Mind Control, and similar cards too.

Thought I let you all know in case you ever feel the need to steal your opponent's Clefthoof.

Symptomatic of LOR's mini set release schedule, is a general lack of long term viability.

For example Shurima needs something like two more mini sets before its actually interesting beyond the archetypes that are quite well known at this point. (Renekton overwhelm, Nassus slay, Azir swarm, landmark Thalyiah)

Nobody really cares about Sivir with her feeling a bit like a worse Zoe, it doesn't help that reputation in Shurima isn't a thing yet.

Soooo to pass the time I've been playing genshin impact. It's pretty fun but it's designed to absolutely destroy your wallet on a massive scale...don't say I didn't warn you

As Hearthstone trundles along, the powercreep of cards and the desire to win makes for the unfortunate side product of pushing a lot of really enjoyable cards and decks out of existence. Short of playing against friends your only hope to play these parts of the game is to cross your fingers that some new cards come around that will make them viable again. I personally find this really disheartening and would like to enjoy my collection in its fullest without having to lose over and over with it.

Deathstalker Rexxar is a great example of this where the card is basically unplayable in Wild and has been for quite a while. However this card is a fan-favorite that a lot of people are unwilling to disenchant and optimally would like to use. However there is no outlet. The best idea I can come up with for this is to introduce a new game mode where you can make whatever crazy deck you like and be matched with other people trying to play their own crazy deck with a 50% chance of one of you facing the same deck, making it obviously viable as it is equally matched.

This would require Blizzard to implement a deck list on the side where you can highlight every card- something that is overdue anyway. This mode would add a lot of variety into the game and be a blast to match up against decks where imagination is the limit. Even if at first the deck's owner would be at the advantage certain decks would occur more often and its own certain meta would evolve.

Another idea would be to have a 2 out of 3 where you match with an opponent, play three games where the first two are the decks versus each other and the third the two decks actually match up. This would be informally expedient because players can opt to concede the third or even the second game if they like if they didn't want to go through the whole process.

What do you think? I believe this mode is badly needed on the grounds that our collections are not fully accessible and that concepts that were teased and invested in never were able to be played without losing game after game playing them. Think of all the fun that could be had if they implemented this easy to launch mode that would require absolutely no balancing concerns since... the decks themselves are always evenly matched. I strongly believe this is a very overdue game mode and is necessary to get the full value out of cards that rotate into Wild.

I don't know about the others, but this "problem" is on my mobile. So, when you added "go to the first page" button, then all this stuff moved to the right and now it's not convenient to press the button of the last page. That's how it looks:

Being on the last page this panel is also slightly behind the screen:

I have 3 mana, I play the Coin followed by Scabbs Cutterbutter and his combo is activated. I play Sparkjoy Cheat for free, which casts a secret from my hand, then all my other cards go back to their normal cost. The secret cast by the Sparkjoy counted as a discounted card from Scabbs and I was unable to play another card. That has to be a bug, right?

And fear not loyal readers, I still won the game!

Like it says in the title, this is my crossover creation, bringing Legends of Runeterra's champions, Landmarks, and other cards to Hearthstone. Some will be rather literal translations, but many will be reinterpretations of what was originally presented. I've only just started today (4/20/2021), so bear with me :) Eventually it is my hope to make a "Runeterra x Hearthstone" expansion as well, moving Hearthstone characters to Runeterra.

A big thanks to Demonxz95 for his Legendaries of Runeterra Weekly Card Design Competition theme, which directly inspired me to expand the project beyond just my one Lissandra card. I started by writing down my general idea here, on this sticky note:

Champion placement is mostly gameplay-related, with the rest down to personal preference (like placing the three Freljord "sisters" in Shaman, or all three Ascended in Paladin). I chose to implement the Dual-class cards to make things more interesting, but I kept the original Scholomance combinations out of simplicity.

The Champions

I don't have the non-Legendaries created yet - let alone all the Legendaries in general - so I'm just gonna list what I have here for now and clean it up as I continue.

Landmarks

Landmarks have become a major part of Legends of Runeterra, so I felt I should at least try to implement them. Hearthcards has the unique "Locations" feature, so I figured why not utilize that? Landmark is a keyword, so I can mess with it via Taliyah and other cards. Hopefully this description makes sense:

Essentially, when you play a Landmark, it counts from 1 to 2 to 3 before it goes away, triggering each effect at the appropriate time. 1 is a Battlecry, 2 is at the start of your next turn, and 3 is at the start of the turn after that. For example, here's my sole Landmark so far, the Vaults of Helia:

(It's supposed to be a Warlock/DH card, but DH is not implemented for Locations so I had to make do.)

As the Vaults of Helia card progresses, it shuffles more and more Soul Fragments into your deck. Pretty straight-forward...at least I hope so.

Closing

This is what I've got so far; thank you for giving it a look-over, and a double-thank you if you decide to leave a comment. Feedback is always appreciated, and keeps me motivated to continue!
