Competition Theme: Uncharrrted Waters

Pirates have taken over Battlegrounds recently, and they're looking to expand their reach further!

• You must create a Pirate minion
• Your minion cannot be Warrior, Rogue or Neutral
  • We're looking to new waters! There are currently no Pirates in any other classes, so get creative.

Xarkkal wants us to expand the reach of the Pirate minion type, so that they may plunder and loot for every class!

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

I put together a detailed guide of every decision I made while playing Maiev. This was at 10.8k MMR in Americas Server. Some of the key points:

• Try to use your hero power as much as possible in the early game without being too picky, don't tier up on turn 2
• In the mid game, use your hero power on economy targets (pirate that sells for 3 gold or pirate that reduces your hero power tier cost), buff targets (cards that will buff your board that you don't need right away) or for possible triples in the future that you don't need to buy right away.
• The key to optimizing your hero power is planning ahead. Do you want to spend 3 gold now to strengthen your board or spend 1 gold to have it provide even better value in a future turn? Key considerations would be board state, your overall health and strength of the lobby, and whether or it helps you get a triple (do you want to discover a minion now or discover a higher tier minion later on?)
• Don't focus too much on the +1/+1 aspect of your hero power, that's just an added bonus

Just wondering what others thought about getting an alternative 'wild-themed' card back for hitting legend in wild.  It could just be a re-work of the usual one with a few more wild-esque flourishes.

As a mainly standard, occasional wild player, I think I might be more motivated to try and hit legend in wild if it resulted in an alternative card back.

Thoughts?

Is anybody already drafting a singleton deck to be used in next Gauntlet?

With the end of the season here, I pose a question.

On NA servers, what is the anticipated cut off for 11x Bonus Stars? Also, are you required to finish the season at that rank/MMR, or can you still get that bonus if you drop rank after hitting high legend?

Thanks!

I'm going to assume her current emote is related to the Fire Festival, as are all of the Greetings emotes currently. When the Festival ends her emote will go back to normal...

Been having a blast with this Bilgewater, P and Z control list.

It seems to have favorable matchups against everything but yoink Sejuani, which is probably the best deck in the game right now.

Don't let this one pass you by.

there are several achievements that give no points. Why to keep them ? they confuse the reading and have no value. Please either throw them away or give a small value ... tks

It's crimson elusives with a 10 percent play rate and a 56 percent win rate.

Noxious is the highest played region probably hanging around 35 percent.

The majority of players are gravitating towards aggro, then midrange, then combo, with pure control not being truly represented in any substantial way

https://lor.mobalytics.gg/stats/regions/IO_NX/overview

I don't believe any of these stats call for a balance change and instead, the best solution is to just print more cards in August which is what is happening.

One of the sneaky possible top tier lists nobody is talking about right now is an updated take on the old corina control lists, where they run deadbloom wanderer, arguably the best deep card as a solid play on 3.

Personally I think that Legends has moved past the oh no a ledros on 9 what do I do, to look at all the fast crazy bs stuff I can do long before turn 9.

But what do you guys think, have you tried it, is it any good?

Like, I get that when a game after x years 'finally' gets a new, 10th class you want it to be a succesful one. And yes, giving it some overtuned cards to make up for its small collection in order to successfully compete with the other classes I can understand too.

But after nerfing the same deck of that class three times and to still have it be the best deck in standard (source) truly boggles my mind. 

Quest rogue was considered a cockroach after it had to be nerfed twice (and that deck didn't practically dominate the meta for months on end by itself). 

Why then, does everyone seem more okay with this deck? I see very little complaints this time around, unless I'm looking in the wrong places.

I hope the next expansion is a lot better balance-wise because if you ask me, this expansion was one of the worst in that regard. I still had fun, mind you, but the balance was extremely lacking.

Apologies for the salty flavored thread. I'm just genuinely curious if my perception is off, or if people really do tolerate the dominance of this deck more than they did with past 'oppressive' decks.

When I started playing LoR a few weeks ago I had a feeling that every 1 mana creature seems to be balanced around Cinthria.

Except for the Butcher. He sinply is a better version of her. Sure, Cinthria is an Elite unit, which provides some bonuses. But at the same time she often is worst card that can be created by 'create a random Elite', so being Elite is not a good thing for every situation.

I think it would be fair to make the Butcher 1/2 or 2/1 without plunder and he becomes 3/3 on plunder to emphasize that the 1 mana balancing is based around Cinthria. And maybe also because 3/3 Butcher always feels very strong for just 1 mana and therefore there is a drawback when you don't meet the plunder condition. 

Just an opinion. What do you think about this? 

My goal is to build a Twisted Fate/Ezreal deck that relies on Riptide Rex to charge most of the procs.

Here goes the core cards i don't want to change:

Thoughts?

There have been some crazy shifts in the tier list since the season of fortune began, with really out of the box decks like Anivia, and Poros creeping into tier 2. I would say at this point that we have effectively hit balance perfection in legends of runterra and you can officially play whatever you want.

I'm a big fan of treasure Nautilus it's gotten me good results against both control and aggro matchups

THE YEAR OF THE HUNT HAS BEGUN!

Pre-story to the Year of the Hunt:
The continuing story following the event of the Year of the Dragon continues with the city of Dalaran chasing down the lost crimnal who escaped the Violet Hold. After Khadgar and the rest of the Mages of Dalaran took back their city, they've been flying around Azeroth looking for those said criminals, which lead them to Gadgetzan. During their attempts to capture the escaped hooligans across town, Noggenfogger asks for help to remove the Dalaran problem by blowing their home with a custom Mana Bomb crafted by Kazakus. Their efforts were foiled however when Noggenfogger got cocky and invited Khadgar to taunt him. He slipped and Khadgar got the lucky break of it. Now Noggenfogger is on the run and the criminals of Gadgetzan have now begun to disband in the aftermath of their gangs being busted by Archmages who were close to being blown-up. Now Gadgetzan is a new business central in Azeroth and has changed it's city to be more "honest working."

Gadgetzan's Streets:
After the events of Dalaran dismantling the gangs, many of the classes broke into new factions of business to keep themselves afloat, though many of them have pining of old times. In this expansion, Triclass cards return, only each Triclass has a newbie on the block and need to catch up to the other's talents if they wanna move up in the world. This appears in the new Keyword of the Expansion, Learning: 

In this expansion, each Triclass has a single class learning the type of tribe the classes specialize in. Rogues are learning the dangerous and majestic natures of Dragons from Priests and Warriors, Paladins are learning about the wonderous creations of Elementals from Mages and Shamans, and Warlocks are finally treating their Beasts friendlier with the help of Druids and Hunters. Each Learning Class has a single Learn card (Beginner Cards) that can be put into decks that can generate cards of that type from theirs and other classes to help out. Here's an Example: [Hearthstone Card (Beginner Infuser) Not Found] is a card that encourages Paladin to play with their healing ways, but encourages you to build a way to synergize with more than just a few Elementals. Each Learn card in the Learning Class will have the class colors in the corner so you can always know what classes you are taking from.

Now to show one of the Triclasses and their cards. How exciting!

Elemining Mineral Co.
On the edge of town, recent Meteor falls caught the attention of 3 Boomsday experts that wanted to study the rare elements found there, as well as in the underground waterways that the meteors exposed underneath the sands. Kangor and Luna both sought out the rare powers of these elements (Though Kangor had very little experience with Elemental power), causing them to connect with the wonderful Elementals that exist in the Company. Seeing Elementals would be a great help with the business, they offered a co-ownership with Electra to help out with the Underground Rapids. After a year of work, the three took in a child with natural gifts of working with Elementals and decided to make her their successor, creating the Elemining Coal Co. Kangor still struggles to learn about the power of Elementals and their forms and continues to learn from his partners the wondrous creations they have seen and known.

Mage Class Cards: (Theme: Elemental Chaining, Spell Damage Combos, Elemental Control)

Shaman Class Cards: (Theme: Elemental Board Presence, Spells, and Repeating)

Show Spoiler

Electra secludes most of her time in the Underground Rapids found underneath Gadgetzan and has found her home among the crashing and treacherous waves that flow into the Waters. She spends most of her time working with Water and Stone Elementals to break the rare minerals and rocks that are found underneath the city.

And their Legendary, the one and only chaotic Elemental herself, Electra.

Paladin Class Cards: (Theme: Elemental Chaining, Board Buffing, Secret Strength, Healing Helpers)

If you guys want to see the rest of the triclasses, feel free to comment below in the Forum. If this doesn't get much notice, I don't free time have to spend 2 hours straight from my day taking every card in the expansion and writing full on explanations for each Triclass. If this Forum gets enough views, I'll post the next Triclass as well as the Neutrals probably next week. If that continues to do well, I'll finished with the Last Triclass and the Triclass Legendaries. If all goes well, I'll post teh Solo Adventure content into my final post. Please comment and leave notes on cards that you think need tweeking or cards you really like so far too! Please tell me what I can do better!

1) Never Surrender any games until Platinum.
2) Keep your ego in check. If your opponent has not surrender, always assume they have have an out.

My latest ranked game is an important example of both of these, players will do some incredible stupid things whether by ego or they oversee a solution. These will net you free wins.

My opponent has 4 health left and I have 13 health left. This Braum/Vlad had my Kninkou Elusives against a wall with 6 units on the field, one with overwhelm, a braum, and 4 other unites. Braum pulled my elusive unit leaving me just an Shadow Assassin to block with. The five units on the board is dealing 17 damage (3 atk Overwhelm, 4 atk, 4 atk, 3 atk, 3 atk). With the units on the field he can kill me as is. Instead of letting it go, he decides to gloat. He drops his last two 2 braum's on the 3 atk overwhelm buffing him instead of holding them. He then spams Braum emote for the duration of the timer. I will his buffed overwhelm and block a 4 atk unit.  He Darius emotes me and emotes the entire time he has priority. I drop my elusive unit in hand and we both have zero cards. I top deck a buff to swing for lethal and my opponent draws a brick.

The opponent adds me as a friend and proceeds to spam some inappropriate comments and blocks me.

This is why you don't surrender in lower ranks. Not sure if the same applies in higher ranks as I doubt people make these silly mistakes in higher elo. Maybe a Master Tier player can confirm.

My go-to fun deck is Reno Demon Hunter at the moment. I net decked the list and didn't pay much attention to it, but today I noticed that Kazakus is missing from the usual Highlander package. So I tried to add him and... I couldn't. While the deck list is open, the card isn't shown in my collection, no matter what I do. Has anyone else encountered this? 

Now you see me... 

... now you don't. 

I don't understand. I heard a few streamers say that. But the deck sucks. It completely revolves around you getting Heimer. If you don't get Heimer you lose. Plain and simple. Vi only protects him that's it. How is that the best deck  in the game?

The problem with this mechanic is not that the cards that use it are too strong (although they are), it won't be fixed by simply nerfing BMM, P.Goods and the Yordle. The problem with this mechanic lies in the fact that is too chaotic for a game like LoR, it creates scenarios that are unpredictable and uncounterable, and it changes the outcome of games out of pure luck.

For example, If I run a single Ruination in my deck and my enemy is not playing SI, then you can't expect me to play against Ruination (alongside with all the other cards in my deck), and I shouldn't do it. It's a frustrating, unfun and unfair mechanic.

Making it draw from the bottom instead of the top of the deck is just part of the solution, but that was not really the core issue here, that was just a buff to Freijlord, not really a nerf to the mechanic itself.

As I see it there are 2 possible ways of actually making this mechanic fair: You either make the nab'd cards fleeting or you reveal them to the enemy. I personally rather have the later. I think it would still be played since the cards have extreme value right now. BMM is a 1 mana 2/1 that draws a card. PG is a 2 mana draw 2 cards that can be turned into a 0 mana draw 2 cards if you have BMM on the board, which is most of the times. Having those cards being revealed to the enemy is more than fair.
