And I got to put my two fav sisters in the same deck. Oddly enough Vi is really the one going for the killing blow most of the time. Rather than being a defender for Jinx. Which is why I originally put her in the deck for.

(See my last comment for the updated list before giving advice. Thanks.)

As someone who climbed on his main account high enough i thought it would be a good idea to create a new account in LoR and try some unranked to master within  14 days starting from no collection challenge  and what did i experience? Players in iron 4 ALREADY play 80% streamer decks in ranked.

While i still do fine with the spider starter deck I can only imagine how actually new players got to feel when they come to runeterra and run into the same netdecks over and over that they don't stand a cahnce against if they are as clueless as their opponent. 

I expected a lot of the starter decks, being played or some suboptimal jank that actual new players come around with. But 80% uninspired copypaste from "pros"? That is really shocking to me and it makes me really sad to see.

What is the meaning of the sentence

"pick a unit in your hand to reveal" ? (sorry no mother language)

tks

With season 2 of the weekly card design competitions right around the corner, I'm bound to search the hell out of the card database again. Comparing costs, stats, effects and so on often requires to use several filters. I really appreciate all the work you've put in there, cleaning up the menu and staying up to date with all the weird new stuff (new class, dual class cards, new keywords, ...). 

One thing I've been missing on several occasions is a button that deletes all applied filters. It's an easy workaround to reload the collectible cards page from the menu, but such a button would be a nice quality of life feature neverthless. It could also be applied to other sites that use filters, like Decks.

It's now only on ephemeral but they really should add some way to distinguish an ephemeral card in hand.. 

I'm assuming that would be why an 8 defense guy would die to 6 damage.

But it's very counter intuitive since daybreak is not a static ability.

(Also, is there a way I can see celestial cards in cards menu?)

So while I love celestials, I think cosmic inspiration is just too good. Not only it affects future celestials but your other allies in deck, hand, play too. My suggestion is simple, make cosmic inspiration buff only celestials. I mostly play expeditions and I feel like the first that gets a cosmic inspiration wins and there's nothing else you can do because +2/2 just allows you much better trades.

Day One, I've opened Lulu and Diana, and 3 singular wills.

Does anyone know what I'm supposed to run this in?

It's so expensive...

It looks like the rolling dust cost, as you build decks, only counts a single copy. You hit save, the dust cost rises dramatically.

Context - We're three weeks into the Scholomance Acadamey Expansion. Kael'thas Sunstrider, who was broken before Day 1, has been fixed, but no other nerfs for Standard have been introduced (Mindrender Illucia was mostly for Wild).

HSReplay has the Tier 1 decks as Libram Paladin (58.1%), Face Hunter (57.4%), Stealth Rogue (57.2%), and Aggro Demon Hunter (55.9%).

My suggested nerfs:

Libram of Wisdom - Change the cost from 2-mana to 3-mana. This wouldn't affect the end-game power of the card or of Lady Liadrin, but would make for a much fairer early-game and mid-game. At first I speculated on changing stats or discounts of Aldor Attendant or Aldor Truthseeker, but their stats and effects are generally balanced for the other Librams. You want wisdom? You need to study harder and longer first.

Voracious Reader - Change the cost from 2-mana to 3-mana. There's nothing to over-think here. Make the card slower. Make it harder for a player to empty their hand on the same turn they play this. Make it come down later when the opponent can more easily deal with it. We all knew this card was too good as printed, and it's overdue for a nerf.

Secret Passage - Change "Replace your hand with 5 cards from your deck" to "3 cards." The Soularium was an excellent legendary spell. This draws more, is more consistent, and has no down-side. It's barely RNG to use this card to search for a game-winning Eviscerate or Sinister Strike. Making this change won't alter a single deck-list in current Rogue decks, but would hopefully shave a few tenths of a percent off their win-rate.

I've been playing the game for just 3 months. I missed the launch of Bilgewater. So, the question is: is it normal for the meta to be this completely saturated by a single deck right after an expansion? I'm seeing Trundle/Sol like 3 games out of 5, and some other Sol deck most of the rest of the time.

Fortunately, I'm very comfortable with aggro decks, and I think I can manage a positive winrate against the deck, but still - there is an absolutely massive percentage of the player base on one single deck right now, and I find that fairly un-fun overall.

Edit - I will add that I've never seen the meta this completely saturated by a single deck, even after balance changes.

Edit #2 - it may have been a bit of a flash in the pan. A day later, I'm seeing it a lot less.

Competition Theme: Do You Copy?

For this competition, we're looking for you to create copying cards!

• Your card must create a copy (or copies) of one or more cards from somewhere in the game
  • Either player's board, hand or deck are acceptable places to copy from
• Your card can add these copies to your hand, summon them directly to the board (minions), equip them (weapons) or cast them (spells, hero cards)

Welcome to the first competition theme decided upon by a competition winner! Shivershine won our first competition, and gave us this as their prompt.

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.

UGh!  It's that time again when we have to look at our collection and see what we are missing and what we have an abundance of and think to ourselves if a nerf is coming.

Not going to lie. I kept the majority of the cards that I felt would be problematic in the current meta and dusted the rest.  The good/bad of this is that I have some dust that I am ready to use and get a couple of the cards that I really really want in both wild and standard formats.  

Now this is where I am stuck and wonder what direction I should choose:

1) should I say to hell with it and dust the remaining items I have surpluses of to make some of the cards I want/need?

2) hold out in hopes that Blizz will make their nerf targets known as soon as possible so that we can start planning on what we are going to do?

What is everyone else doing?

The second update in the deck widget series has arrived!

New Features

Deck Widget Preferences

• You can now customize preferences for the homepage deck widget.
• Preferences are accessed on portal pages and the home page via the cog/gear icon found at the top right of the decks widget.
• Selecting a homepage game will force that game's decks to always load on the homepage, no matter where you've been on the site.
• You can customize each game's default deck widget preferences independently.

Changes

Deck Widget

• Selected game gets a colored icon.

Hearthstone

• Portal page now has the new and improved deck widget.

Runeterra

• Portal page now has the new and improved deck widget.
• Improvements to performance on deck pages.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with deck widgets not loading for new users to the site. (Issue with initial deploy)

Notes

• We should have had the ability to sort forum threads in recent threads by their game. There's an issue preventing us from pushing this live and is going to require some serious digging. This was supposed to be a simple change.

Whoa! It's been something crazy like 8 months since we removed decks from the homepage of Out of Cards. Today, that changes.

New Features

Homepage Decks Widget

• Quite possibly the most complicated system we have on the site so far.
• Here's how it works:
  • The current "game" that you have active is what decks will display by default.
  • Decks will show, by default, "Week" timeframe and "Hot" sorting with only decks that include a written guide.
• Here's the planned update for Friday:
  • Adding the ability to customize your defaults.
    • Did you look at some Runeterra news but you only want to see Hearthstone decks? No problem.
    • Do you want to default to Hearthstone Wild Paladin decks? You go!
  • All the sorting options available now will be able to be saved as your own preferences.
• Dev Notes
  • I wanted a more visual approach with icons for Classes and Regions for their respective games, but the interesting issues with cross-platform and cross-device features were prohibitive. Also, Demon Hunter can rot in hell for having such a long name that is tough to design around. I believe it looks cleaner without them all out in the open, at the sacrifice of extra clicks if you want to quickly check multiple classes/regions out. This might be updated in the future to make class selections easier.
  • And on the note of class selections, I already know a request is going to be written somewhere that asks we allow you to customize the filters with something such as "Paladin and Druid decks". This might be a feature enhancement down the line. I'm not making any promises right now though.

Changes

Hearthstone

• Collection Manager now has a "bulk remove" button.
  • Hit save after using bulk remove to update your collection on the site.
  • This is an easy way to reset your collection back to square one, or reverse an accidental "bulk adds".

Runeterra

• Collection Manager now has a "bulk remove" button.
  • Hit save after using bulk remove to update your collection on the site.
  • This is an easy way to reset your collection back to square one, or reverse an accidental "bulk adds".

Bug Fixes

Runeterra

• Fixed LoR deck codes not generating codes when Targon cards were present.
• Corrected dropdowns available in the Collection Manager.
• Fixed an issue where the Collection Manager wouldn't let you remove single copies of a card.

Upcoming

• Next Update: Filtering by game for recent forum threads.
• Early September: MTG Arena Database and Decks support
  • If it wasn't for Hearthstone and Runeterra being so active this month, it would have arrived.

I hate this card. I hate it more than anything ever printed. It is worse than kaelthas in my opinion, but it's okay i fixed it.

"But won't they just play obsidian statue instead?"

hahahahahahah

When opening packs on desktop I find it a slightly frustrating user experience to always have to scroll back down again to open my next pack because the page refresh means I usually have only the tops of the cards visible. 

It would be nice if the 'Open Another <expansion> Pack' either loaded only the card pack fragment or if it 'auto scrolled' back down to the card backs on page refresh.

I'm dead serious .. I got hella lucky.. char choice plus picks... This took massive consideration , insane patience, and hella fast picks. . The amount of tokens and the perfect picks with the char had me moving at Goku speed. All jokes aside I felt like I was playing chess in central park.... >_> ... All said and done I fought the last battle 4 times .. he was supered up on Demons .. he changed tactics every battle... We were last two and Pretty much at full health... I wasnt expecting him to adapt... Every round.. it was interesting.. that last round after Macaw and Boravine have everyone pretty much 50/50 + my mechs go off Flawless both are magnet with max bombs... Like I said GOKU.. I BROKE HIS SCOUTER.... AND THEN.. I HAVE TO FIGHT KELTH..... I won he didn't quit... Machine gun kelly didn't stand a chance either.  It was bombs everywhere..

Post your GANGSTA.. let me see your DMG .. I'll keep the thread up.

I'm not sure if this is something I'm experiencing because I took a break from the game, or if it's just the nature of F2P in Legends of Runeterra, but it's a bit of a struggle to actually get cards on day 1.

It's a bit odd - LoR is generally one of the most F2P friendly CCGs out there, but specifically in the context of expansions, and because you can't bank EXP, it feels like you're always going to be stuck starting from zero with new cards.

Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me? I like the fact that they ensured Labs meant everyone got to try new cards, but I want to make my own decks with the new cards but don't have the resources yet.

Anyone else just wanna cry when you re-roll a daily quest and get Inspired?  Ugh...20 hero power uses....*sigh*

Buff Unyielding Spirit back to burst speed. Not now. But later down the line once all regions have at least some form of an obliterate option. Since obliterate ignores US.

I guess the majority of you hasn't been playing a taric deck yet and the majority hasn't been playing with arbiter yet.

The thing about this card is: once it's cost gets reduced by at least 1 mana he becomes invisible in your hand. That means you still get to see him when hovering over him and you still can play him as a card but its very confusing when you notice that your hand has "hole" that is created by the "invisible one" and it can ruin your game in case you should have an arbiter on the left side of your hand, and forget that you have one over the cause of the game.

I just hope that riot fixes that bug because its not 1 time thing but occours ALLWAYS
