Hello and welcome to my custom expansion Pirates of Vash'jir so without further ado let's get into the cards.

1. Pirates

Of course we have pirates led by the adorable Eudora herself and all of them will be aggro some will be more midrange or even control focused.

2. Auto-Attack Cannons

That's not all pirates are bringing to the table as Greenskin is bringing a variety of cannons for your use.

3. New Mechanic Sink

Sometimes in the Deep Sea things sink to depths and are left there until they're drawn again and cast automatically.

4. Ozumat Slumbers

Ozumat slumbers and you can awaken him. By logging to hearthstone and receiving him for free before the Expansion launches.

That's all the information i give you for now. So set your sails adventurer in Pirates of Vash'jir.

So, it is a month since the release. Do we know anything about the single player content yet??

I think 'Nexus-Strike' needs to be Sejuani's Frost because the control on auto--freeze every game mainly when she is with a Teemo which can seemingly be played 3 times in a row in decks of cards 40 & above. Especially after having to focus on him as an elusive is quite ridiculous, alongside the fact that you get a million free popper-puffs so most every card is getting 1 puff on it. As you go through cards the probability increases drastically that you're going to get boned out of the game and simply become infinitely controlled as even with only drawing a single card you're about to get frostbitten to 0 damage... 

- Draw a card, get frozen, play one hero or supporting unit, kill it or use a spell to draw a card, then maybe play one final unit - that's the only unit you get to attack with.
- It's obviously worse when you're defending because you basically can't or you just take full damage and all of their heroes & units are still alive at the end of combat.
- Hero combinations such as Yasuo can barely do anything already against these guys... but I'd need to be Demacia or something with him just to buff him 3 or 4 times after he became frost-bitten just to then scrape by mana to get a stun out. But by that point you've used all of your '1-Mana Cost Stuns'. You're left with Arachnoid from Demacia which is a 3-Mana summon instead of spell even though the 1-Mana spell is a Slow one. Or even worse you're forced to use a '4-Mana Recall' just to remove a single threat.

Basically the idea is all her power is found in her level up and she will have a unique level up in the sense that she can also de-level. She will be a very weak 1/1 for 1 mana champion with no abilities. Her level up will work like a reverse Darius. If you have 10 health or less she levels up. But if you go back over 10 health she levels back down. This is because her level up is linked to her emotions. When you are lower than 10 health she thinks you need protecting and will summon her bear and if you gain more than 10 health Annie will de-level and the bear will vanish.

Now here is the interesting part. The bear is freaking massive! It's a 20/20 body that has a permanent bearer. So it can't be damaged in anyway and it can't be targeted by anyone with anything. It can only be blocked. That means even the player can't put something like elusive on it or some other ability out right. But it can be effected by area of effect spells or abilities. Like for example a buff that gives all allies overwhelm would work on the bear too. But remember that the bear is 100% linked to Annie. If the enemy kills Annie, they kill the Bear, and vise versa. If they return the bear or Annie to your hand the bear goes back into Annie and she goes into your hand. Also you have to be careful when he comes out. If he comes out and you don't have room for him he will instantly die and thus instantly kill Annie as well.

So its a bit of a juggling act. For one you want to remember to make sure to have room for her to level or risk losing them both. You also want to have some ways to heal yourself to keep yourself alive while the bear is putting in work. But you also don't want to over heal yourself and accidentally de-level Annie and lose the bear. Also you have to literally baby sit Annie and make sure she stays alive or you lose them both. Remember she is still just a 2/2 with no abilities when leveled up. But on the plus side the bear is a threat the enemy has to answer no matter what. Or else they will just keep losing unites to it and if you ever get a chance to buff it with something that will let it through their defense it will kill them in one hit.

Like being able to run up to 3 of any number of champions I don't think a deck full of champions would be strong at all so it wouldn't break the game it would probably just look tacky on the matchup screen.

Expedition: round 7.
During the trade, this happened:

I didn't have the card in the deck and it offers me to change it for something else. What am i supposed to do?
I don't want the 8 spell, but at the same time i want the 5 mana minion (i have it already in my deck).

I will skip it, because i don't want to take a risk in trading MY 5 minion for the 8 spell (maybe they were placed in the wrong order)

EDIT: i clicked on the trade button, then click it again and now it shows me the correct placement: the real offer was MY 5 drop for the 8 spell. I noticed it because i wanted to accept the second offer, and i found out that it was bugged as well: the real offer was MY 6 mana spell for HIS 3 mana spell.

Moral of the story: pay attention during your expedition

EDIT EDIT: 7 wins :)

It seems that Legends of Runeterra has yet to have a win/loss or match history screen (at least for normals) and because of this, I guess I'll never know the outcome of this match. After a long start with a major brick hand, I stayed alive long enough to reach "deep" with my Naut/Maokai deck and right when I was able to deal the finishing blow my game freaked out. I mean, it's all fine and dandy since it's just a normal game, but I'm not completely sure whether my internet cut out or if the other guy decided to just rage quit. In game, there wasn't any button to continue to the next round and when the timer went off, a new timer would just appear only to repeat and do nothing. I would expect a surrender notice if they did just close the game but after 5 minutes of waiting I got a "disconnected from server" screen and it pulled me back to the main menu. It was super NOT poggers and left me salty but the real question now is closing out your game and whether or not it prevents a win for the other player.

TLDR : I do big move and they potentially rage quit preventing my victory. (or was it just my connection cutting off at the worst moment)

anyways, here is a screenshot right before I got kicked out of the game :

Hello,

I always followed Outof.Cards from its RSS feed.
There's a little thing that bothers me: I'm not a player/follower of Legends of Runeterra and Magic Arena, so I'm forced to "scan" my RSS feed to find articles of Hearthstone.

Sometimes I find myself skipping the whole feed, disappointed because there are no articles that interest me.

A simple solution for this would be having separated feeds for Magi, LoR and Hearthstone, while also keeping the "general" feed.

Thanks for your attention!

PS: Sorry for english mistakes (not my first language)!

Hello again people! You guys seemed to like my previous WCDC spotlight, so I am doing it again. I am going to be trying to crunch these in before the end of the season. I decided to skip the treasure for now because I have no experience in those. Sorry for that, but I don't have any ideas how to review them. Instead, you get to see some copying cards. I chose this comp, so I really want to share some cards that fell under the radar that I thought deserved attention. Into the shadows!

Like last time, if you want to see more cards or check out the scores that these cards got, here is the link.

Long Shadows by Elvaeyn

Quite literal! I love the "add a 1/1 copy of a minion" cards. They feel nice to play for me. This one is no exception! Cheap, you can set up a combo with Malygos or Edwin VanCleef. Or add two more copies of Legendary you got from another class to your hand. One of my favorite cards of this comp.

Snareweed Golem By ShadowsOfSense

A less-controlled Splintergraft that adds a much cheaper and weaker copy of an enemy minion to your hand. It is an good card to play though, adding it when it dies at a later turn when the copy is playable versus add a huge copy to your hand, but let the bark rot for a turn. As someone who tried to make Gloop Sprayer work, I applaud you.

Senseless Potion By JFK

 Cheap and the additional effect adds a vanilla minion to your hand. That is a great effect for Silence Priest. You can silence one of your "can't attack." minions, then adds an already silenced minion to your hand. Value!

Allidar By RenoLord

Wow, another Priest card. Actually, there were 11 Priest cards made in this comp. I know that is their thing, but come on. That is 1/4 of the cards submitted. This one is the coolest one I have seen. Allidar adds a minion to your hand, and then if you are a totally big dragon (with a claw with the same durability than KNUCKLES MADE FROM TENTACLES and even less than a freaking STICK) you also get a copy on board. Even better if you get a big minion. I feel like this is a pretty good card and feels like Priest.

Ritual of Rejuvenation By KANSAS

 This card has some great Untapped Potential. (yes, I said it) For 2 mana, you can get a spell you played AND heal your face. Spell Druid could use this at anytime. How in Yogg's holy name did this get barely a 3 though?

OVERVIEW:

 Thank you guys for reading this. I will try to do 7 next time to show more. Tell me which comp to do next! Suggestions, comments, questions and concerns are always welcome. I'm a one-man band, so that will help me cater to you guys more. If you guys can share this to other people, that would be great! Happy voting for the finalists today. See you back in the shadows. Until next time, palaam ulit!

I’m feeling sorry for Std players, as the new class has been a problem since day 1. Even after the 2nd round of nerfs it’s still busted and polarizes opinions.

In Wild it not only survived the nerfs, but Odd DH still sits comfortably in Tier 2, playing similarly to good ol’ Odd Rogue. Great early, mid and late game. Good matchup spreadsheet, beats Quest Mage 50% (or more, with techs). What’s not to love?

Got Diamond 3 last month. Already Diamond 9 now and perfectly viable for legend. Other archetypes could even be playable (Reno, combo, hyper aggro) but I’m simply in love with Odd right now. RIP Albatross though...

Any other Wild DH fans out there?

With only two days on ranked ladder it is impossible to not face - 8 times out of 10 - either a OTK toss Maokai deck, a overly easy Nautilus deep deck, or in the worst case scenario, a combination of the two.

I found that Legends of Runeterra is an exceptionally unique and interactive card game that allows for a very large pool of meta decks that combine skill as well as elements of luck. The above decks offer neither.

I was very worried that the developers of LoR might create more archetypes that incorporated OTK mechanics - such as those in ezreal, karma and Ledros + atrocity decks - however, Maokai does not afford much counter-play or interaction from the opponent which i found LoR has always been good at designing. Ultimately the majority of previous OTK archetypes where based on what the person playing could do to earn the win rather than what they can do to stop the opponent from interacting with the game. 

I'm worried that archetypes like these take the fun out of the game to the extent you either join them or get beat by them, and where is the fun in that? It also doesn't allow the other new champions to shine or for crazy new combinations of factions.

Maybe it is too soon to judge, but there does seem to be a disastrous amount of results as it is.

Nautilus deep decks are fun, they just need a serious nerf because damnnnnnnn.

Regards. 

All cards are now revealed.

What are your favourite cards and what will you be testing day 1 after launch?

I am not a great theorycrafter so personally I will focus on improving what I already have, maybe a Yasuo deck.

And of course some Bilgewater cards will be tested by me, toss mechanic seems cool.

Hello y'all,

I really like to play rogue, and I really like value and control(which doesn't really fit, I know). Sadly I didn't open any  legendaries or epics for rogue this expansion, but after playing against Secret Rogue a few times, I really want to craft a deck with the secret packages. Any recomendations or decklists?

Do I need 2 Bamboozle?  I do have 3600 Dust and as classlegendaries: Flik Skyshiv, Waxadred and Bazaar Burglary, as well as full common and rare for standard.

Mech Paladin, Secret Mage, Sniplock.

Now we have Evo Shaman too (ft. Corridor Creeper and Devolve, playing on the board is basically a stupid idea).

Games are often sealed at turn 4-5 (through retarded cycling in one turn, making old Miracle Rogue look like a dumb clown).

I am not enjoying the game at all. The main feeling is hopelessness.

Even sitting at rank5 floor, it's disheartening.

My long-built collection is basically a huge sh1tload of a waste of time.

I am not just salty, i am extremely disappointed.

How do you still enjoy this abomination? If you do.

i was playing  expeditions today with a lee sin fizz deck i had upgraded lee sin challenging one anivia egg, my OP played  scrapshot on lee sin and i played  a health potion on my nexus but my lee din died shouldnt it get barrier and survive or did i misplayed? it looks like a bug anyone had experiences like that?

Now it is a fair card - and not a "2 mana: generate 5-7 mana this turn" nonsense we have today.

As in the title. Is it worth to craft even shaman in this meta? I wanted to grind to legend for the first time ever this month, the only cards i'm missing are Vessina and [Hearthstone Card (Storm Bringer) Not Found]

I haven't played LoR much... After my first ranked this win this season I got 200 + 800 bonus xp. Not 400+ daily bonus. Why?

Before the new patch if you blocked with a unit and then it was bounced back to your hand the “ghost” of the unit would still block the attacker.

Now it seems like the attack can go through after blocker is declared.  Is this always the case now?

Just lost a couple games from this and would like clarification.

I got daily quest for the first day but after completing them I haven't got another one for over a week.

Game 1 : Noxus/Zaun burn

Game 4: Noxus/Zaun burn

Game 5 :  Ezreal/Karma burn

Flawless design. A+ launch patch. Much wow

When you are the only class legendary from classic that always sees play you know there's something wrong. I just played a 24/24 Edwin for the usual 3 mana, but often it's just an 8/8. This card really needs to be a 2/1 so that it can be dealt with more orderly. It's already a free monstrosity if your opponent dare thinks they can afford not having a good removal in hand. Let's make this happen. #makeedwinatwoone2020

Divine Shield: Water

Taunt: Earth

Charge: Fire

Windfury: Air

Long ago, the four keywords lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Charge keyword attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four keywords, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an windfurybender named Al'Akir, and although his windfury skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Al'Akir can save the current state of Hearthstone.

I need some help about some interactions that i am not sure i know how they works:

1) nautilus will copy all the units that i have tossed (no spells) that cost 4+
If i use "lure of dephts", "the beast below" will be discounted to 3: will it be copied by nautilus?
An enemy "recalled" my 3 mana "te beast below" and it returned to my hand as a 4 cost, so i just wonder if nautilus do the same.

2) overgrown snapvine: why does it have so many attached cards? is it just a meme or is there a reason behind it?

So i just got 4 AoU packs as my season reward for reaching Diamond 6....

Am i missing something or is it bugged ?
