Competition Theme: Watch Post And Learn

It's time to start building things up around here - stop fighting already!

• You must create a minion which can't attack
  • We're specifically looking for the 'can't attack' text on the card, not just a 0-Attack minion or something like that
• Your minion must have a passive effect
  • It can't just sit there and look pretty - like the new Far Watch Post and its ilk, it needs to do something worthwhile

Arkasaur is looking for the best architects to help construct some magnificent new cards - so start surveying and draw up some plans!

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

Discussion Thread Rules

No thread rules were added to this season. Please populate and manually edit this thread with them.

I get those Battlegrounds weeklys quite often (made a posting in the salt thread already). Because of that and the rerolls I have a single weekly quest open in the midweek quite often. Now I noticed that:

-if I've done the weekly "Win 5 ranked" and another weekly quest 

-and there is a single weekly quest in the left most slot

-and i than press reroll on that quest 

=> I get the ranked quest again!

Maybe a coincidence, but happend two times in a row. So i decided to make the thread, whether other users can confirm. By this way you could get a little bit XP extra, because it is 2,5K for the ranked vs. 1,75K for the others. 

so anyone tested if piercing shot does more damage to the enemy hero with Mo'arg Artificer ? i dont have him and dont want to make him just for the test. XD

Greetings here! I'm here to present you my version of how I would change Priest's Core Set... new class.

...or is it? Well, Witch Doctor is actually one of the oldest classes in the Hearthcards Class Creator, dating all the way back to 2018, so basically when the tool was in alpha and not always available on the Hearthcards main site. While I haven't updated it expansion-wise for a long time, being stuck in RoS and running out of ideas, I still hold dearly to it, and so I'll fianlly share it to a broader audience, this time with a new Core Set to match current ones.

For your information, you can also check the class in Hearthcards Class Creator. Just scroll to the end of the search bar and find "Witch Doctor" with currently 152 cards in it.

So I was playing Even Mage in wild, and trying the new cards... I had Ice Walker on the field and played Reckless Apprentice . In the end... No minion was frozen... Do you think this interaction should work? (Just on wording I think so)

Hey Flux and awesome OOC crew, I had an idea for a longer time and so I though it might be worth asking. We have up and down voting for posts, if we like/dislike the comments, and so I thought, maybe we could have some sort of "reputation" points for members too, as I´ve seen on some other forums. What if I like a member and want to appreciate his opinions/attitude/helpfulness, other than upvoting all of his comments? Maybe there could be some + reputation button (not - ofc, cause it could backfire badly) next to members avatars? You couldn´t vote twice for the same member, it could be anonymous (so people don´t feel forced to pay it back) and maybe it could be helpful in threads like trading a friend quests - you can upvote trusty member who traded with you, or you can check his reputation before trading, to know he is least likely to scam you, if he gained some reputation points.

Anyway, just an idea, what do you guys think? :)

I had her in a deck she didn’t belong in before the nerf and got wins with her because of her health pool while not really having the cards to protect her. 

I took her out when they lowered her health to 2 just didn’t feel I could keep her alive without building around her. I feel that is how it should be. Any Fiora mains floating around here?

I was curious how they felt after the balance patch?

she doesn’t t worry me because I run 3 hush and a moonlight for good measure 

Hi Guys,

I've had the "Play 10 Frost spells" quest twice and both times it hasn't counted how many frost spells I've played correctly. For example, I just played a game in the Tavern Brawl as mage and it reckons I only played 3, however I definitely played more than that.

Has anyone else had the same problem? I'd imagine the bug exists for the other spell school quests as well.

You can't make this shit up

Hi,

I was part of the Zalae thread recently and probably didnt help the conversation thread since I was going back and forth with someone I didnt agree with. This was yesterday and I see now that the thread's comments are now hidden. However, Im unable to see the comment replies I got - 1 being Flux himself. 

I agree regarding the thread being made hidden from comments. I dont agree that if we got a response, we can no longer see it at all. 

What I would like to see is maybe the full comment if you hover over the link of the thread title under Site Notifications. This would bypass rare situations where a thread is locked but also would allow us to avoid having to click and reload the thread.

Bonus - I would love to know what Flux replied back to me with. I care less about the other person that replied. 

Thanks and sorry.

Wanted to know if there is any way to have different portraits for different decks of the same class. I don’t see any way to do it and if it’s that’s the case I’m against it.

Would it be possible to get some way to favourite decks or save them to some kind of list? A lot of times I see cool decks but am missing a few key cards and it'd be cool to be able to save them for later on the site

Hi guys, 

U lately started playing the solo adventures and was wondering, if it would be worth keeping the packs.

I messed everything with import. I'm on the Mac. I'm sorry, guys.

Please reset everything.

NERF THIS TRASH ! 

I know nostalgia has rendered the old boy sacrosanct for a while, but I believe the writing is on the wall. When will the community be willing to read it?

Consider Dr. Boom, Mad Genius. I think a lot of players would agree that he was extremely problematic -- and the devs finally agreed and nerfed him. Well, Lord Jaraxxus shares several similarities with Boom, but they are exacerbated by certain aspects of the current meta.

• Infinite value hero power -- only it's far worse with Jaraxxus because the value is much higher and totally consistent.
• Minimal competition from other hero cards -- only it's worse with Jaraxxus because he is the only hero card in Standard right now.
• Belongs to a class with too much control to begin with -- only it's worse with Jaraxxus because other control classes lost some control tools.

I understand that Lunacy Mage is top of mind for everyone at the moment, but that deck seems a lot worse than it is, simply because it's fun to play and therefore popular. Meanwhile, Control Warlock has quietly maintained win rates that rival or exceed Lunacy Mage, and this will only get worse when the hate-of-the-week decks get nerfed.

I hope Team 5 is able to recognize this problem before they decide on the next round of nerfs, or things will be a whole lot worse than they are now.

This happens sometimes

Hi, I think such panel should on top of the front page for easy access. thank you and keep up the good work ;)

Not pushing anything else out today so here's our changelog.

A special thanks NerdyMcNerd for pointing out I've been putting 2020 in the titles. Gotta love a fantastic copy-paste job!

Additions & Changes

General

• Improved loading of our custom Fonts for a small speed increase.
• Added additional lazyloading across the site.
  • Chrome users, this doesn't help you as much as Firefox because of how ridiculous Google is with considering how far "the fold" is. Morons.
• Removed unused JavaScript.

Hearthstone

• Decks
  • Deck pages now display a fourth button in the sidebar to allow you to copy a deck's image.
    • Please note that when you first save a deck this will not display.
    • Please note that when you update a deck, the new image will not immediately be available.
    • Images are queued up for processing after your deck has been saved. We can't render them during the web request - that isn't a good idea!
    • If no one else is creating decks, your image is usually created with 15 seconds of your deck being saved.

Bugfixes

General

• Forums
  • Threads will now correctly update again when community members reply to them.

Hi!

You didn't seem to receive my last Patreon pledge, though I had it confirmed as per usual via email and Patreon billing site. Something on yours or their end?

I am playing a deck with Kazakus, of course with no 4 mana cards in the deck. Usually it works well ... but ...a few games ago I played Kazakus and no golem was created ... I was puzzled ... maybe a 4 mana card was created in my deck by accident ...

Today this happened again; I double checked ... no 4 mana card was in the deck, nor created ... any idea? Tks

Where are you Blizzard

Where are you blizzard

Do you remember

the balance patches

Deck of Lunacy is bringing

upon my poor empty soul

Today's update includes a large upgrade to our underlying site framework so patch notes are thin as most of the work is backend related.
