Been feeling like arena is slowly dying all around with it being super unbalanced and totally forgotten not just in news but also lack of leaderboards and such. So seeing some love from anywhere right now just makes me really happy and i'm stoked to have a new column just for arena. 

Thanks!

I thought it normally starts after 1pm cst time zone but nothing has happened yet.  Anyone know a better timeframe?

Had to share this replay. Priest vs Paladin, turn 3 he coins into Nozdormu the Timeless and immediately after I topdeck Mind Control. The match did not last long after that.

I've been working on a project for a few months now and I'm a little stuck on creating a Death Knight class. I want it's Hero Power to be seldomly used, powerful, but at the same time not game breaking or too uninteractive.

I've made another class that utilizes a fluid Hero Power so I would like to avoid another passive Hero Power.

So what I'm asking is if it's even possible? Resurrection effects keep coming to mind but depending on existing neutral cards it could be heavily favored toward a DK that capitalizes on rez effects. I haven't played WoW in a hot minute so I've also kind of forgotten what DK's are supposed to be all about.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cuz Rogue is coming with their flashy new weapon and all of its support. It's going for your face, so be ready for that before it happens 5 times in a row.....

Yes, Blizzard pays people to gather information at sites like these.

Once again, I get hit for 14 extra* damage from an unfortunate last hit on a pirate ship, knocking me out of an otherwise good game. If the ship doesnt break it's dealing 6... if it's not your day the damn thing is going to blow up for up to 18 damage on you. Up to triple the damage. Rat Pack has been the classic culprit of this dealing 2-7 extra damage in a tragic last hit. The ship makes the rat pale in comparison.

This is not alright people. Sticky minions are already desirable for their power level- there is no reason to have that side benefit to them. It leads to games where you absolutely get deleted unjustly by a bad twist of fate. Is it your opponent having such a great board that you deserve to have the damage inflicted on you? Nope! The Sky Golem from their Ghastcoiler dropped a Megasaur...

Please reply to this post with the statement, "I support making spawns deal one or half damage" or something of the like if you agree with this idea.

This article came out yesterday: https://www.businessinsider.com/activision-blizzard-salary-disparity-issues-2020-8

It's one of many articles like it over the last few years, but it has some earnestly disturbing descriptions of what workers have had to do to get by, and it seems uniquely important during this pandemic and moment of economic downturn. As a community dedicated to these games, that implicitly relies on the workers of these companies to produce new games and content, this seems like a very pressing issue that ought to get a broader platform here.

Assuming you get the needed cards ... just curious ... I will probably try a Libram Paladin ...

With the release of Scholomance Academy looming ever so close, I can already feel my fingers start to twitch closer and closer to the Mass Dust option after cracking my packs to start crafting all the wonderful things that I didn't get.  I am trying my absolute best to try and keep myself from doing it this time around.  It was a rough one with Ashes of Outland because there were so many issues with the power of Demon Hunter, once I thought that the nerfs were done, I was totally wrong and ended up losing out on a lot of potential crafting.

Along those thought lines is where I am currently stuck.  I can see the sheer power of a number of the cards in this release.  I KNOW that the nerfs are coming and probably in places that not a lot of us are seeing (Although I would bet that Secret Passage will be errata'd to say something like, "At the end of turn discard those cards" or the cost will go to (3)).  

What I am getting at, finally, is what does everyone else do to keep yourself from dusting things too early or not craft something that looks amazing, but is in all reality mediocre?  After Galakrond launched, I had a surplus of dust and finally crafted Raza the Chained and Kazakus to finally put together my Highlander Priest.  I recently had another legendary amount of dust and instead of going the smarter route and get Reliquary of Souls, I crafted Activate the Obelisk and have been regretting my decision since.  

Granted, they are both solid cards and I like playing the quest, I just inherently made the wrong decision in crafting.  So my final question is what do all of you do to keep from crafting cards that look like they are amazing, but in reality are lame and/or restricted to being used in specific decks?

Well I finally did it!  I hit Legend!  And I did it by accident, kind of!

I've been playing since a few weeks after launch with a few periods of playing very little, or not at all for a few months towards the end of 2014 and into early 2015.  I've also played more casually for the life of the game, the first two years I literally played Casual only after earning my end of month rewards chest.  And I'm the type who never played card games prior to Hearthstone, so when I first started playing and would drop Arcane Missiles or something on turn 1 and my opponent emoted "Well Played" I didn't realize they were being sarcastic...  Anyway, I have learned a lot since then.  Here's my Legend story!

I've been home a lot more lately with the state of the world and not working a ton, so while my wife's been busting her ass in the hospital I've been staying home with our son a lot.  What do you do when you're home a bunch???  Teach your 8 month old son to play Hearthstone, of course!

Yesterday after he went to bed and my wife was working a night shift I decided it was time to play some Shaman.  This is my favorite/most played class, but I have ignored it for several months now as I pushed for the golden portraits in the other heroes.  But looking at the Tempo Storm meta report last night I saw an Even Totem Shaman list and was like, "That can't be that good, can it?"  It can!  In fact, for me it was 22-6 good from D5 to Legend (79%)!

As I got ready to face the final boss this afternoon, my son woke from a nap.  I went and grabbed him and sat at my computer with him in my lap.  It wasn't until after I clicked "Play" that I noticed something was very wrong.  My son had shit his pants!  I frantically tried to click "Cancel" so I could take time to change his diaper, but I was too late.  I was matched with a Worthy Opponent; a Quest Mage!  Now I had to pilot the deck while also being delirious due to the stench of a thousand corpses rising from my son's diaper as he sat on my lap.  Sure I could have put him down, but if he started moving around a bunch on the floor, well... do you know what a blow out is?!  If not, I envy you!  I kept him on my lap to avoid further incident involving the Bog of Eternal Stench (you know, from the movie Labyrinth).

I got ahead on board, trying to maintain control while hitting my opponent, held off attacking into a secret which I was certain was Flame Ward (it was) to ensure my totems would live an extra turn to buff my Draenei Totemcarver, etc.  Eventually I got to a turn where I could hit him in the face and bring the Mage to 8 HP while adding some spell damage to the board to power up my Crackle to "6-9 damage".  a 50/50 shot!  Do I take it???

That's when it hit me... "6-9"... 69!  NICE!!! This glorious number was a sign from RNGesus that it would work!  I hit for exactly the Mage's remaining 8 HP.  I had done it!  I had won, earning the Legend card back and Natalie Seline, completing my collection of Classic legendary cards.  I also had a muddy mess in my son's diaper to clean up still.  Celebrations would have to wait.

I never really intended to push for Legend, I've always just kind of played whatever I felt like bouncing around from meta lists to memes, aggro to combo and all deck types in between.  I always figured if I found a good deck I had a lot of fun playing that I went on a great run with I'd get Legend but not stress over it.  This Shaman deck seems really good in a meta full of Quest Mage and Discard Lock, and my win record would back up that feeling.

If you are looking for something really strong to make an end of month push in Wild, try Even Totem Shaman!  There's nothing more fun than killing your opponent with a giant Idiot Totem!

I think Hearthstone is better than ever, Team 5 is doing a great job, and I don't typically think about Blizzard, let alone complain about them. However, I think news like this is important, and has broader implications for the video game industry and society.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-03/blizzard-workers-share-salaries-in-revolt-over-wage-disparities

I've worked for large institutions and small non-profits, and I've witnessed unfair wage discrepancies at both. Each time I've been the one earning more, and I volunteered my salary and benefits info with other co-workers who went on to advocate for the pay they deserved (without outing me). It's a good thing to get in the habit of doing. You might found out you should be making more, or you might help someone else. I've never been part of a company-wide revolt, but I've got another 28 years to accomplish that before social security kicks in.

So from the Roadmap we know there is going to be a new game mode coming in phase 2 but apparently I personally haven't seen anyone talking about it? What are you thoughts? Will they reveal it when expansion releases or later?

At first I thought it was something to do with my phone but then I realized it only happen on OOC site. 

I dunno if someone else have similar problems, sometimes it unfreeze without refresh.. 

If it's just me then.. I will try to clear cache and stuff. 

I use android and Google Chrome. 

I just was curious about what your favorite cards are.

For whatever reason. Be it because you like the arwork or voicelines or be it because you like the card on a mechanical or power level. 

My personal favorite cards are Katarina, Li Sin, Riptide Rex and Shared Spoils.

Katarina, Li Sin and Shared Spoils because of the gameplay and Riptide Rex mostly because of the artwork. A shark with a bunch of cannons on his back? I like it a lot! 

I haven't face a single Nox aggro deck since. And I admit I stopped playing mine. You think they overnerfed it?

I'll be running with this deck in Wild on Day 1.

Scholomance card additions:

Mindrender Illucia - great tech card to derail your opponent's plans.

Sphere of Sapience - helps you control the game flow.

Lorekeeper Polkelt - helps you assemble your OTK package sooner.

Well  guys and gals after 79300 theory crafts this week  and 10 or so successful hopefuls I've done it. I've found the deck I'm playing on day 1 behold

Deck ID Not Found

What will be yours?

Disclaimer: this is obviously a top level meme

I am brand new to the game, less than 2 weeks played, but I did some looking around and decided on Sea Monsters as my first real deck. It took some serious learning and experimentation with the list before I got it to a point that I feel comfortable with. Since I'm so new and my collection is lacking, I incorporated the must-haves and other things that I happened to already have, along with copious amounts of removal, and wound up with a bit of a frankenstein monster of a deck. But it has been working, so I thought I would share and see if anyone else around here is playing this deck and if they have any pointers.

So, I have yet to have the opportunity to cast this spell or have it cast against me. From the wording, it's hard for me to tell exactly what will happen.

If fewer than 6 things have died on your side, does it only summon that number of things, or do some of them get summoned twice, to make 6 copies? (Example - only 3 of your allies have died, you cast Harrowing - do only those 3 come back, or do 2 copies of each come back to make a total of 6?)

I noticed a new animation for poisonous minions, where a splash of green with a skull on top was displayed.

Is this from the latest patch? Are there any other new animations?

So normally I just use Fake GPS to 'attend' a fireside to open my packs early (for the same problem that would happen in the title. However, for some reason selecting a public Fireside event seems to be disabled on the website so I had to try to create my own unlisted event again, which to no surprise still results in the 404 error from previous years.

What gives?
