Hi.

I just run into this in one of the facebook groups I am in, original credits for this goes to someone called jesserese

Just have a look at the 3rd expansion here:

And on this card back:

I thought I heard something about the demon hunter being released prior to the expansion with the initial set. 

Is this true? Or am I getting mad?

#StayAtHome

As the world struggles with the new coronavirus outbreak, many people from public health care departament, store employees, food providers, uniformed services work way harder than usual to keep us safe.

I will be donating all of the profit (minus tax and fees) from donations and subscriptions received in March and April to local "coronavirus-fighters".

At the end of each week I'm going to host a special stream presenting the results of this initiative.

Hey, just browsing some of the articles on PCGamer, and one sentence kinda caught my eye that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else yet. They say something about a new Demon Hunter Legendary that has charge and can ignore taunt minions. It's mentioned in the section on Leroy if you want to check it out.

https://www.pcgamer.com/leeroy-jenkins-and-mountain-giant-are-finally-being-sent-to-heathstones-hall-of-fame-but-edwin-somehow-survives/

Ok so this is a totally unreliable 9 card combo in mage. First you need to play Kael'thas Sunstrider. Then you play Elemental Evocation into Mana Reservoir twice,Pyroblast face. Then Frostbolt face twice and another Pyroblast to the face.

Damage:

12+5+5+12=34 dmg in one turn!

I'll surely try this out, and it wont work. But its fun atleast.

It looks like we got another at least partial reveal from the press release videos: Imprisoned Antaen. It's a 5 mana minion that deals something after awakening (probably some amount of damage, maybe AOE?). Again, I believe this is fair to share as it was in the press release videos. The Twitter post with picture is here: https://twitter.com/SunsetAlchemist/status/1240023226874552330?s=20

So most of us are excited to hear about those great changes coming to Hearthstone which were hinted at by attendees of the Hearthstone 2020 Community Summit. Since the original post on the main page got flushed out and we may or may not get some news this week or even today, I wanted to give our speculations, expectations and wishes a new home.

Apart from very obvious things I expect to be delivered very soon like new purchasable hero portraits, my own contribution is to speculate about Blizzard splitting off Battlegrounds from "classic" Hearthstone. Maybe even Arena comes along, too. My arguments supporting that theory are as follows:

- If I remember correctly, there already are seperate teams working on BG and the rest of HS at Blizzard's

- BG (and Arena) are based upon drafting. You don't need a collection, you don't need card backs (not true for Arena, though no big issue imho), you don't need anything you obtained during your time before BG was introduced. It wouldn't hurt veterans to split BG off.

- Auto chess is something completely different than "classic" HS. It's easy to imagine people loving BG who have no interest in "classic" HS and vice versa (I'm an example for the latter, no surprise). This argument strongly speaks against seperating Arena, though.

- BG is getting a lot of love from the devs. The frequency of the introduction of new heros, buffs and nerfs is amazing. Maybe they are pushing this hard because they want to get the biggest player base possible before kicking off BG as a seperate game.

I must admit that I'm really not convinced it would make sense to split off BG from the business side of the issue. But with a little stretch one could argue that BG isn't even a card game anymore since you can't collect the cards. That might be enough to distinguish between the two branches and shape seperate identities. If all of this amounts to "cementing HS for the next decade" depends upon the questions if 1) seperate BG would still qualify as part of HS and 2) what will "classic" HS receive this year.

I'm looking forward to hear your thoughts about the upcoming changes and getting roasted for my somewhat crazy idea. Thanks for reading!

So this expansion doesn't have a theme song? And, brode isn't here to rap one for us so what's gonna happen? Are we just going to have to make our song this time around?

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed before in other forums, so sorry for creating a new thread for this.

But man. This guy is driving me crazy.

There were times when you could distinguish between decks that are likely to run Leeroy Jenkins and decks that are not.

But tuday, LITERALLY every deck I face plays him, no metter what the deck type is. It is just a universal 6 damage face finisher for 5, which is good in everything. So sick and tired of the entry sound as well after playing this game for 6ish (?) years now.

It should definitely go to HoF with this year's rotation in April.

What do you think?

*proceeds to put him in every deck to join the dark side*

I know this will be a moot point in a few hours, but it's driving me crazy. A lot of people are misinterpreting the text or are just puzzled by it, when it seems pretty clear to me.

"Once you've cast a 6+ cost spell this game" is a binary condition. Either it has happened, or it has not. It doesn't have to happen while the Mageseeker card is in play. Once the condition is met, it affects all Mageseekers in your deck or in play for the rest of the game, but only once. The effect does not repeat if you cost more big spells.

If you cast a 6-cost spell on turn three, every Mageseeker/Voltician you ever summon will come into play with the kicker activated.

If you play a Mageseeker/Voltician before casting a big spell, it doesn't get the kicker until you do. Obviously, if the unit is killed before you can activate the kicker, it doesn't matter for that particular instance of the unit.

In summary, casting the big spell only needs to happen once, at any time during the game, but casting more spells does not reactivate the effect.

It looks like Demon Hunters are going to be synergizing with cards that gain power or trigger effects based on whether or not they have attacked this turn, which plays well into their Hero Power design. With it only requiring 1 mana, we'll likely be making frequent use out of attacking with our hero.

Are both cards for Demon Hunter that appear in their Basic set and highlight the hero attack mechanic. We've also got two other basic cards that buff your Attack.

I for one am excited to see hero attacks coming to a class as a core mechanic. It also looks like they've got weapons (Flamereaper) which is awesome to see. It would have been a crime to put in Demon Hunters without weapons.

What do y'all think about this being a core class mechanic?

I just stumbled upon this gaming Website who released their post a day to early!

https://www.polygon.com/2020/3/16/21181241/hearthstone-ashes-of-outlands-expansion-new-class-demon-hunter

The Article not only states that the new Expansion is ashes of outlands but that we are also getting a new class the DEMON HUNTER!. Priest basic set is also going to get a rework and the PvE will be free again! I think it's entirely possible that this leak is real, so LOOK FOR YOURSELF!

Sup everyone!

So I recently started playing with this deck a bit the last week or so (which is about how new this deck is as well) and not only is it STUPID easy to pilot but it will also help you ladder FAST! Not sure if anyone here has had a chance to play it yet? If not, here's a video on the decklist and some games: Zombie Garen Deck Guide.

My question is, do you think this deck will actually last as a #1 mid-range option or is this just a result of the current meta BEFORE the patch changes that were just announced today? I just feel like this deck is too simple and too one-sided as far as strategy is concerned to see any true longevity in competitiveness. What's everyone think!?

Hi my question is:

You create Baku now (-1600 Dust)

When the card go to Hall of Fame you get free 1600 dust + you have the card and you can convert the card to dust (400?)?

Then;  

¿-1600 + 1600 +400?

Thanks for answer my question!

So I had a thought earlier. If nothing but The Undying is played and killed repeatedly and then The Harrowing is played does it fill your board with  The Undyings or does it just summon one undying?

Competition Theme: Pole Position

For this competition, we want to see cards that care about positioning!

• You must create a card with an effect that cares about card positioning
  • This can be on the board (eg Dire Wolf Alpha), in the hand (eg Soul Infusion), or in the deck (eg Mischief Maker)

Another classic competition theme coming from Demonxz95!

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.

Hey guys!  I've been having a lot of fun on ladder with this deck, and I thought I would share it because one of the key cards, The Rekindler, is ~80% likely to get nerfed tomorrow.  (Side note: if you're missing cards, wait until after the patch notes before crafting any of the expensive stuff!)  The basic core is the same Champion -> Rekindler -> The Harrowing stuff you've probably seen a million times with Hecarim.  Here's where things get fun, though: we do it with Ashe.  If you've played her, you know how frustrating it is to keep her alive...well, we're totally OK if she dies!  The goal is to get at least 3 in the res pool with and at least 2 points of progression, then on our attack turn we play The Harrowing and attack all-in: the legion of Ashe will frostbite most of their board, level up, AND prevent any frostbitten units from blocking!  But the catch is: you need enough board space for the summoning, so you actually need things to die off first--I actually lost games this evening because I didn't block "bad enough" the turn and had some 3/3 spiders instead of bigger units.

Anyways, its a lot of fun, it's very off-meta, and I think most opponents have no idea what you're doing so you can surprise them.  If you have the cards (or don't mind spending a few wild cards), definitely give it a spin before the Tuesday patch.

I wonder what are those. My guess will be that these are kinda the thing used by Mowgai or Swim that makes you look the hp that the enemy will lose after the combat phase or to see the hole splash art of the cards.

Also, anyone here use any of those?

Has anyone tried making a deck with Questing Explorer, Licensed Adventurer and Sky Gen'ral Kragg and activating those cards via sidequests instead of main quests?

For Druid, the main quest more or less builds the deck for you, so I thought that would be an interesting class to try this on. This was the result: (click it for the guide with more details)

Did anyone else try using sidequests like this? And if so, what were the results?

What do you all think Riot will do to her in the next patch, since they mentioned her by name?

Right now her problems are: She's too reliant upon her bonded, she's a fearsome 3 drop when other 3 power cards are coming out, she can't be played alone (wants a bonded unit), her bonded can be recalled thereby making her the only champion that can be 'purified' denying her her full abilities alongside being very frail.

By most games I have used her in, almost never use her turn 3 unless there's a really good unit to play her on making her actually be a turn 4-5 unit.

The bonded issue could be solved by her wording changed to "I bond with the strongest unit. Bonded is granted +2/+0". Or making it so the bond persists even if the unit is recalled (pulling it from your hand in case of the level up).

As for the rest maybe a rule change on fearsome?

Fearsome could be changed from "Can't be blocked by a unit 2 power or less" to "Can't be blocked by a unit less than or equal to it's power."

Gives them a new thing to play around with and makes cards like Tryndamere, Legion General, Cithria the Bold, and Trifarion Shieldbreaker more interesting to play as well.

What do you all think? I enjoy reading these forums and they have been helping my own gameplay.

Hi,

i just had a situation where smart ordering of spells would have granted me lethal with Lux' Final Sparks, but the expected behaviour did not occur, leaving me quite frustrated, since i cannot rely on simple logic to solve complex game states in order to win games.

This was the scenario:

Opponent: attacks with 4 (barriered) units and plays judgement against my blockers. He is at 4 health and 0 mana. After blocking, i would survive his attack. 2 of his barriered units had 2 health (so 2 sparks could kill his Nexus if done correctly).

Me: Lux on board, at 4/6. Spells in hand: Single Combat (2), Deny (4) and Twin Disc (3). I have enough mana to play them all.

So my idea for lethal was the following:

- one of his barriered 2-health units is blocked and will survive the attack

- the other barriered 2-health unit is unblocked and will survive the attack as well

- cast Single Combat on one of his barriered units, this will make my Lux progress go to 6/6, giving me the first Final Spark

- cast Deny against his Judgement, this will then bring my Lux progress from 0/6 to 4/6

- cast Twin Disc on some shit to make my Lux progress go to 6/6 again, giving me the second Final Spark

- after the attack, cast both Final Sparks in his 2-health units for lethal (4 health Nexus)

The Spell Stack (from left to right) looked the following:

1. my Single Combat (played AFTER Deny)

2. my Deny against Judgement (played BEFORE Single Combat)

3. his Judgement, being denied

So in theory, the order of spell execution should be correct, right?

- Single Combat is executed first, updating my Lux's progress to 6/6 and giving me a Final Spark.

- Then Deny is executed, updating the progress from 0/6 to 4/6

But what actually happened was that my Lux's progress somehow was at 0/6 after both spells were executed, not at 4/6 as expected.

Is this a bug? Or is there some behaviour that i missed or dont know?

Seems like potential for the cancellation of the Hearthstone stream. Don't get me wrong, precautions for the virus are completely justified. But it would be quite disappointing even so, especially after the constant 'announcements of announcements' and lack of actual information given out up until this point.
