So far, I like that rule, even when sometimes some decks will lock themeselves into bad plays with the old rule.

The thing is, units created from spells are an exception to this rule and I wonder why? I just lost a game because I didn't know about this, I was about to replace a unit for lethal and my unit got oblitareted. Not sure if this is intended.

Last night, my thinking was that I would play around using my pre-expansion decks just to put in some XP into my new region rewards, waiting until after I get some freebees and some inspiration before crafting anything new.  I quickly made the following observations:

1. EVERYONE was playing decks built around expansion champions, implying they heavily crafted immediately
2. All my pre-expansion decks are very weak against these new decks:

• • My P&Z/Noxus aggro deck and SI/Frejlord control deck were both winless for the night. 
  • I finally had some mild success with Vlad + Braum of all things--still less than 50%, but at least I could grind out my bonus XP

Did anyone else have comparable experiences?

Assuming these are representative, I have mixed feeling.  On the one hand, it's probably good that the expansion cards are all powerful--I started playing M:tG right before Fallen Empire, probably the weakest expansion in their history, and it was overwhelmingly disappointing to be encouraged to buy all those shiny new packs just to find them easily beaten out by older cards and established decks.  And it is fair to draw comparisons to trying to use an "evergreen" deck in either Hearthstone or M:tG and being dominated by those using the full library.  On the other: I am very surprised that these cards were THAT much more powerful than the core set (assuming it's not just lack of ability on my end), especially considering this is the very first introduction of new cards.  It's a significant power spike overnight.  And I feel extremely sorry for any new players just getting started, trying to complete quests using starter decks.

      Hello, everybody! I know I'm a lot late of doing this - this comp was back in February! But it hit me on the head a few days ago. No one else is doing this, so I decided to start it off! There is a rule I have in place - I will pick from strictly non-finalists. I just want to highlight good cards that people either voted low on or and give them credit for it. Sorry if I don't included your card. I just chose one that are interesting and/or neat.

By the off chance you want to look at some cards I didn't show here, here is the link.

THE RESTRICTIONS:

                                                    Number 1:  One Man's Trash... by sinti                                                      

 

 

Sinti made this great sidequest that settled at a score of 2.96. I don't really don't know why was not higher. Fit some Big Ol' Whelps or a Faerie Dragon or two and BOOM. A free weapon. As for the weapon selection, it is great during AoO era (Demon Hunter improved that by a lot). Arcanite Reaper, Assassin's Blade, and the Wrenchcalibur would be good equips for this. Any DH weapon as well, they are pretty good. Even if you get a 1-attack, it gets buffed anyway. 

 

Number 2: EVIL Mummy by Superkowboj1

 

An improved EVIL Conscripter? This can add up to 4 LACKEYS to your hand. Fantastic in Rez Priest (which I hate with a burning passion) as a legitimate target for a Psychopomp. That means lots of Lackeys. Just what Priest needs. 

 

 

 

Number 3: Moorabi's Scheme by CableKnight

 

 

After being utter trash in KotFT, Moorabi walked home, dusted off a old notebook and opened it up. This is the result of that thinking. "If I freeze everyone and make sculptures of them, they will learn to respect me!"  Powerful and just good in general, I might as well. An advantage this card has over Moorabi is that IT IS ACTUALLY GOOD. You don't have to waste a freeze, this card does it for you. Plus, you get lots of value at a later turn when all the big minions are played. A fantastic card in my opinion.

 

 

Number 4: Unshakeable Roots by  Phoenix

 

 Ahh, Druid. How I hate all of your stupid trees and lightning bugs. And to think, I used to be one of you. Anyway, this is good. A little more expensive  Treenforcements, but can be cast twice. Reborn acts kind of Soul of the Forest with a cheaper cost. Solid card to support Token Druid.

 

 

Number 5: Obsidian Explorer by Horus

 

An explorer for a class without any. Huh, seems kinda of good. Priest currently has 5 class Dragons to play with. A great nab would be Skeletal Dragon, which can generate some more. They recently got a Dragon support card in AoO and this will fit quite nicely with it.

 

 

Overall:

 

And... done. I really hope you enjoyed looking these. Just wanted to share some lesser-seen cards that are good to the Fan Creation Community. If you guys really like this, I might do one for 1.02 at a later date. Treasure! And yes, I purposely picked a card that showcased each mechanic except Plagues and Invoke. Graggle was too OP for my tastes (sorry thepowrofcheese). Paalam at magkaroon ng isang kamangha-manghang araw!

I just found this card: Unyielding spirit.

I am not sure if I understood it correctly, but basically, the minion i choose will never ever die forever?

So i can use it on Fiora and she will never die (attack, removal, spell) unless someone uses purify?

It's rare when one of my homebrews takes off so well. Easy climb to diamond and I'm looking forward to going higher. Not only does this deck overwhelm everything out there but it is an amazingly fun ride- there are several win conditions and you never know which one will seal the deal.

Still needs a little fine-tuning so feel free to give any suggestions, but definitely treat yourself to a couple games of it.

So, I played against a rogue, who had a 3mana minion and a secret up- either Bamboozle or Ambush- so I played Siamat with Rush and Divine Shield. Would take care of it either way, while clearing the small minion. So Siamat attacked the small minion, and it bamboozled into [Hearthstone Card (Imprisoned Antaen) Not Found]. Siamat should have had enough attack to take him out, but instead Siamat only lost his divine shield, while not actually damaging the Antaen - which makes Imprisoned minions immune to damage, but able to defend themselves.

Just a questionable interaction that I wanted you to tell about.

In short, my region has been set to Europe for the entire time of beta.  I'm not a European player though, (US East-American).  I thought the region was incorrect due to beta, but now that the game has gone live, I'm not so sure.  I did some searching and apparently a few years back Riot combind all regions?  But I'm concerned that for LoR I'm somehow incorrect set.  I never had a chance to tell it otherwise...

Thoughts?

It's a weird meta right now. So many decks with mulligan specific win scenarios. It is almost pointless taking part. There should be a button where the people with those decks can just have imaginary opponents. Especially murlocs and treants - they empty their hands by turn 3 having successfully randomly drawn their combo, and then draw into the next. My side of the board is pointless/meaningless.

As the title says, it took over two hours for Runeterra to update on my PC. I eventually gave up and downloaded it on my phone and it took less than five minutes. Has anyone else had this problem?

So with the first month of the ranked update coming to a close I've been wondering about the following.

I haven't played much Hearthstone this month, partially due to the Demon Hunter terror and partially because of the amount of (updates for other) games being released. First world problems, I know.

I only yesterday got to diamond in standard, and likely won't even get that far in wild this month. 

What I'm wondering is if the star multipliers are based on the rank that you achieved the previous month or your hidden MMR? The Hearthstone article indicates the former. In which case, if I don't play for a full month, does that mean I won't have any star multipliers to go with (other than the win streak ones), all the while facing diamond-tier players? 

Because that climb seems way tougher than what we previously had and kind of forces you to get a decent rank every month, if that is your monthly goal.

From what I gathered from the Hearthstone ranked article this does seem to be the case, but some additional insight would be much appreciated.

Hello everyone,

Since the latest patch I can't play Hearthstone caused by Playful Sprites. I did all the tips Blizzard posted on their forum, but after a long search I found out that there is a certificateproblem with my Samsung A70( other users have it as well). Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I am not a developer but this issue takes more than a month, is this common with certificate problems?
