I feel like every morning, I see a lot of whatever deck he released a YouTube video for the night before. He showcases a lot of interesting decks, so I get why people would want to try them out, but the frequency with which I see them just seems crazy to me.

This is not a salt thread.... This is an honest inquiry on things that I am starting to feel the conspiracy theory about with the matching system.  Does anyone know if the matching algorithm for games looks for specific cards and matches you up against people that have opposing styles of cards?

I ask this on both sides of the fence.  Whenever I play a common combo deck, I feel like I am constantly getting paired against aggro decks.  And when I switch to aggro, I get tossed a lot of control decks.  The same goes the other way though.  When I play something like Kingsbane Rogue, I end up playing against combo players and dog walk them.  

If there is such an algorithm, is it Blizzards way of saying, get better to beat the style of deck that kills yours... or is it a subtle jab to your kidneys?

You know what's not fun? Having no control. For me there is no point in playing the game if it is just being fed to me. This is getting tiresome. People qq'ed by the amount of dungeon runs they were churning out but guess what? Thanks to your qq'ing we get even worse solo adventures. Granted, the following DR's never captured the magic of the first one in Kobolds, but at least they tried to keep them fresh like with the shrines in Rastakan.

I'm sure some people like this and I don't mean to be a prick and alienate you, but after two goes with Jaina and seeing that I am going to have no control over the deck I'm using, I have no motivation to play it. I'd rather netdeck and have the ability to at least change a card or two to fit my play style.

If you want a return to Dungeon Runs, please voice your opinion, otherwise keep getting these.

I saw her in the solo adventure so either they wanted to make this encounter extremely easy by giving him garbage cards (more likely) or will warsong commander get a rework or something to do with injured minions/weapon? maybe they left her as she made sense.

One can only hope for justice to the most obvious "we don't want to deal with this card so we deleted it but it's still there for people to wonder just why it exists" card.

also Malfurion has "Night elf tag" foreshadowing that night elves being a tribe?

I had been anticipating some new cards launching but when they finally launched the Targon updates, I was completely disappointed.  I was totally not understand of why the creators doing all these, they are basically ruining their own game. 

My post here i would like to talk only about the dragons.... in fact i will criticize it. As seems that the game maker would not even bother the balance of power between the old cards and new. That stupid Aerolian Sol (i don't care if i spell right... it is a trash for me) basically make all the other heroes completely useless. And those stupid celestial/ dragon combo would allow the spamming of high cost monsters and spell at 0 costs !!!!! 

I understand the game maker approach to attract some money players, but create such an overpowered cards does not make any sense for me.

I start to think that they operate the game without any sense of ethnics.

Okay, technically it is 2:30 AM on the 17th for me, and most people its the 17th, but since the Pacific coast counts, we're going to pretend it is the 16th.

New Features

Magic the Gathering

• Added set pages. Here's Zendikar Rising.
  • Cards currently only display in numeric order. Sort options are the endgame goal.
  • Cards themselves now nest cleanly under sets.
• Modal Dual-Faced Cards can now be flipped!
• Added tooltips for cards.
  • Plains

Flip Card

Changes

Magic the Gathering

• Split card frames now rotate 90 degrees so they can be properly read.
• Added extra navigation when on non-Magic pages for faster browsing.

Mythgard

• Added to navigation.
• Added a site header for the game.

Runeterra

• Imported fresh data for Patch 1.10

Bug Fixes

General

• Fixed an issue with the portal deck widget showing the wrong game if you switched portals.

Magic the Gathering

• Fixed incorrect default width of cards. Was 240, is now 265.
• Corrected images for Modal DFC cards. Previously the same image was used for both sides of the cards.
• Card BBCode will now prefer a collectible card over a non-collectible.
  • MTG doesn't really have non-collectible cards, save for tokens. However, with the way our data works, Modal DFC (and some other dual-faced cards) have a back and front that is a separate "card" in our database. When requesting these cards in bbcode, we're assuming you will want the front face of the card by default.

Mythgard

• Fixed an issue when browsing Mythgard content that would result in a homepage error afterwards.
  • This was live for a few minutes this past afternoon. Sorry to the couple hundred people who ended up seeing the error.

Flux Notes

Yo! Couple things here.

• MTG Deckbuilder should be out before the end of the month. We've got some big tech choices to get through to make this work well.
• Mythgard support. You've noticed some Mythgard articles today. Thanks to Nirast for helping us cover the game! I'm not going to consider us fully committed to it just yet, which is why it doesn't have a large portal link on all pages, though the game has a great community and we'd love to give players a great home.
  • If there's some free time this month, we'll get a card database up for the title pending datamining and card generation. 
  • If helping cover Mythgard is something you'd be interested in doing as a volunteer, hit me up.
• MTG "stuff" as a whole is still a work in progress. Card pages are still quite bare!
• I'm going to bed now so I can be up for the launch of Zendikar Rising!

War chefs going down to 1/3 hurts scouts and lulu

Ezreal nerf is healthy

Lee Sin buff is great

Yordle Grifter is brought in line with bannerman but otherwise bilgewater is untouched.

How do we feel about this, out of anything that was going to get nerfed I wasn't thinking Demacia of all things

Kind of a strange patch overall but I will let you guys decide.

Well, this forum is pretty much dead. Time to do like a Priest and revive it! The expansion is FINALLY coming, and I'm going to use this thread here to post the schedule for any spoilers I come across.

Hi guys, 

does anybody know, what happened to my hearthstone? :D

Am I the chosen one? 

GrappLr posted a weirdly self-contradictory YouTube rant today that, to me, summarizes a lot of grumblings about the expansion I've noticed from certain streamers. His two main points were:

1. None of the top-tier decks use Targon. In fact, they are all archetypes that existed before Call of the Mountain.
2. Hush is a "fun police" card that stifles creativity.

Do you see the contradiction? If none of the best decks are in Targon, they are not running Hush. Therefore, Hush cannot be a big enough presence in competitive play to keep a significant number of new decks from succeeding.

Of course, I must also point out that most of the top decks on the meta stats list have pretty low play rates. In fact, you don't see a play rate above 10% until you get down to ... wait for it ... Trundle + ASol. That's right, an all-new Call of the Mountain archetype. A meta with a lot of low play rates means greater diversity and excellent balance. When more people are choosing to play a new deck because it's fun, even though it doesn't perform quite as well as a lot of the older ones, that is a very good thing. (Another point -- I don't believe mobalytics tier lists are the most accurate representation of the actual meta. They get results from a fairly thin slice of the overall LoR user base, and I'm not at all convinced that the sample size is sufficient.)

GrappLr is upset because -- and he states this explicitly -- there's not enough power creep. He says he wants the first few weeks of a new expansion to be full of people saying, "OMG all these new cards need to be nerfed." Words cannot express how strongly I disagree with that sentiment. I say the fact that the new cards do NOT need a nerf is a sign that Riot did an amazing job with the balance. On the contrary, this is a great opportunity for Riot to appreciate how badly some of the old archetypes need to be taken down a notch.

So I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate Riot on a job well done, and I hope they don't take this negativity to heart. Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to those nerfs of last season's cards.

A site deploy has gone live tonight with support for Magic the Gathering cards. We've also fixed issues with site cache.

New Features

Magic the Gathering

• Card database is live with more than 50k Magic cards
  • This is considered a soft release for right now.
  • Filters have not yet been touched much. We'll get these fleshed out more when the deckbuilder hits.
  • You can embed magic cards with the "mtgcard" bbcode. We'll detail this more in the future in a dedicated forum post.

Changes

Hearthstone

• Fan Creations (deployed last week)
  • Cards now support multiclass.
  • Finalists can no longer vote on finalist entries.
  • Winners gallery has been updated to look nicer.
• Deck listing now lets you sort by specific Tavern Brawls

General

• Articles now display their date in a mouseover tooltip on the timestamp

Bug Fixes

Runeterra

• Fixed an issue with the patch filter on the homepage deck widget (This went out last week)
• Fixed an issue with the region filter on the homepage deck widget

General

• Fixed issues where spam was getting through more often than it should have.
• Improved performance on article loads
• Fixed an issue where our site cache was unable to connect to certain site nodes
  • Since our move to new hardware a month ago, this has been an ongoing issue. Sorry for the slower than normal load times!
• Improved query logic on the forums for some speedups.

Do you think we'll get more celestial cards in the upcoming call of the mountain mini-expansions?

I personally think they shouldn't touch the celestial package anymore, it's in a good spot and plenty of people seem to hate it already. The only thing they could maybe do with future Targon cards is making them target invoke certain celestials.

Just wondering what are your standards for voting here? 

Or is there an agreed upon standard?

For example, my current standards are:

• 1 - Pretty bad. Needs a lot more work.
• 2 - Not too bad, but still lacks in certain areas. Also generally boring.
• 3 - Average. Not bad but nothing spectacular.
• 4 - Stands out above the rest. Interesting concept.
• 5 - Head and shoulders above everyone else. Clear cut winner.

Competition Theme: Branching Out

We've seen what Scholomance Academy can offer, but perhaps you're looking for a different area of study? We've got you covered this week.

• You must create a Dual Class card using a non-Scholomance combination of classes
  • Your card can be any combination of two classes, so long as it isn't one of the 10 options covered in the Scholomance Academy expansion. This means you have a total of 35 different class combinations to choose from!

Hordaki asks us this week to imagine what some other dual class combinations might bring to the game.

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

Competition Phases

Here are the phases of this card design competition

• Submission Phase: Starts on Mon, Sep 7 17:00 EDT (GMT -0400). Runs until Sat, Sep 12 17:00 EDT (GMT -0400)
• Voting Phase: Starts on Sat, Sep 12 17:00 EDT (GMT -0400). Runs until Sun, Sep 13 16:00 EDT (GMT -0400)
• Finalist Phase: Starts on Sun, Sep 13 17:00 EDT (GMT -0400). Runs until Mon, Sep 14 17:00 EDT (GMT -0400)
• Winner Selected: After finalist voting concludes and we validate votes.

Discussion Thread Rules

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

So back in the day I enjoyed Toast's content before he started losing interest in HS and was only doing it for a source of income. However, I just saw a Toast video pop up in my YT about toast being on some dating show and thought it was pretty random. So for any Toast fans out there, what does he even do nowadays on YT?

In this discussion I’d like to avoid all talks of Aurelion Sol, because that’s not what I’m talking about. 

I’m curious what are your guys thoughts on the dragon cards? I had been a huge super frustrating losing streak, and then built a Demacia / Targon deck focused on Dragons, Striking opponents, and Rally. I have had a lot more wins against decks that had been destroying me. So I give them a thumbs up but I’m curious on your guys thoughts?

guys, which office chair better to buy for home or better to buy gaming recliner?

This is the third deck i am about to push into the meta: Heimerdinger / Ezreal / OTK

The deck focus on keeping Heimerdinger alive with Bastion, then Turret Spam. 
It mostly wins because the opponent can't keep up with turrets, but the main focus is to buy time until Ezreal levels up.
In very long games, Shards of the Mountain generates enough Gem cards for an OTK.
Hush works very well alongside both champions.

I am experimenting a great deal of sucess in my ranked games, so I think the deck is very well optimized already, but maybe someone could catch some improvement. 

The flex slots are:
3x Jury-Rig
3x Solari Soldier
3x Guiding Touch
1x Hush

I don't think anything else is replaceable.

Thoughts?

Which one you guys think we'll get next?

I'd personally prefer the void with Cho'gath being one of the first champions available. But maybe with Targon being such a great expansion maybe they'll give us something less cool for the next region like Shurima before adding the Void.

The Gadgetzan Gazette

By: Chief Investigative Reporter Dora R

Once again, we have combined community polls from Hearthstonetopdecks and OutOfCards into one list. Based on this data, we have determined the estimated power factor for each card. After that, we divided all the cards into different categories according to a five-star rating. To complement this data, we have added the assessment of TrumpSC, a Hearthstone expert.

So I just wanted to make a thread asking about what you guys throughout about the newest solo adventure. Personally I loved the story but felt some bosses were stronger than others and some were absolute pushovers. Also, the rhyming got annoying fast.

Spoilers about the later levels.

It seems Aurelion Sol became a hot topic of discussion, so i am going to try my best to break down this card being as impartial as possible.
Take your own conclusions if the card looks fair or not at the end.

Lore: Aurelion Sol is one of the Gods who created the Runeterra universe.

Since Aurelion Sol is suposed to be the strongest champion of them all, from a design perspective, is very fitting that his mana cost is set at the highest price possible: 10 mana. 

But for a 10 mana cost to see play in any card game, it also requires to have an extremely strong effect.
Here goes a list with a few examples of traits hight costs cards own in other games:
1- Deals high ammounts of direct damage; -> King Crush (Hearthstone)
2- Affetcs the board on the same turn its played -> Shadow Reaper Anduim (Hearthstone)
3- Setup an One Turn Kill combo; -> Antonidas (Hearthstone)
4- Very hard to remove; -> Ultimate Falcon (Yu-gi-Oh!)
5- Generate infinite resource overtime; -> Deathstalker Rexxar (Hearthstone)
6- Snowball overtime (wins by himself if left unchecked); -> Ragnaros(Hearthstone)
7- Denny oponnents resources; -> Jynzo (Yu-gi-Oh!)
8- Protect the player from loss/taking damage/heal; -> Malganis (Hearthstone)

Aurelion Sol is a Boss card, and as such, given he has the highest mana cost price possible for a unit, he is supossed to pack the ultimate bomb effect to win games. He needs to have an even stronger effect then Commander Ledros as he costs more mana and uses a champion slot.
But is Aurelion Sol unfair? To answer that, we need to look at how other Late game decks are doing.

This is a picture of my meme Purssuit deck.
It usually finish games in a single big hit by T9-T12.

Show Spoiler

Maokai decks can pull their win condition by T7-T8. That means the oponnent gets 4 more turns as most players can't refill their deck.
It usually finish games by T11-T12.

Ezreal / Karma is an OTK deck. It requires Karma to be enlightned to pull off the combo, followed by Ezreal + spells on the next turn.
It usually finish games by T11-T12.

Anivia needs to be enlightned to proc her egg and level up, plus an additional turn to generate more Anivia copies.
It usually finish games by T11-T12.

Commander Ledros is played on T9 and Atrocity on T10. If Ledros is killed the combo takes longer.
It usually finish games by T10-T12.

Are we seeing a pattern here? Most control decks usually end games around T10-T12. Now lets examinate Aurelion Sol:

Aurelion Sol is played on T10 and if his conditions are met, he levels up after THE END OF THE TURN. So best case possible, the player may only play Celestials cards for free on T11 forward. It usually finish games by T11-T12.

Conclusion: I hope my work here can provide a better insight about Aurelion Sol's design for future reference.
I personally think Aurelion Sol is fair and on par with other control decks that see play on the current meta.

Little extra -> How to play around Aurelion Sol:
Play cheap spells on him to pop his spell shield and follow with a major removal, both with fast speed if possible to prevent counter plays. Another way is to ignore Aurelion Sol completely and focus to kill other units to deny his Level up in the end of the turn. Aurelion Sol by himself is "only" a 10/10 body do nothing with Fury which isn't worth its cost.

Got a full playset of Trundle and Diana now and have been playing around with them in various lists.

Noticing that Trundle Tyndamere lists are starting to pick up in popularity thanks to their synergy with warmothers call

Dianna seems to like frostbite quite a bit if you want to try here in something other than day and night, or Nocturne aggro.

Next champions I will be taking on are Leonna and Taric so look forward to that.

Take care

When seeing Tip the Scales i had to make a theme deck.

So lets open a fish retaurant.

So what do you need. Well a lot of fish and if that fish runs out the chef will get realy angry.

Nomi is the chef here and he has two cook apprentices, siver knives and a cat that loves fish and will bring more.

How do you use it ? Well serve fish till you opponent overeats and if that´s not enough nomi will roast him.

Straight forward deck flood the board, trade and roll over your opponent. Maybe it works due to being so "braindead"

I thought to put in a board buff but there is no realy good one. The silver sword would be but it´s eight mana.

This deck has a huge advantage. It does not need much from the new expansion. So it might be one of the wait a bit to craft decks that run over all decks trying to build nice combos. It overal one of the cheaper decks with only Nomi as legend.

HSReplay isn't very clear, but what version of Libram Paladin do you guys think is better. A pure version or this one:
