I just posted up a video today, and am curious to see what everyone in the Runeterra community currently thinks about these rankings and more importantly, how they may change going into beta and beyond. Here's a link to YT as well as the video for reference below:

Do you agree/disagree? As I mentioned in the video, I know there's a ton of arguments for Shadow Isles wrecking every other region, but I'm convinced that's not the case. Also, what about giving Noxus the highest combo rating? Does ANYONE else see the potential I see here!?

If you're interested, I also go in depth for each region in their own video's - those links are in the description of this video on YT. Hope you guys enjoy! =)

The new TESL Gauntlet starts today for one event ticket or 150 gold per run (up to 3). This event will be available through January 20th.

A new event is coming to The Elder Scrolls: Legends! Introducing the Ballista Gauntlet, where the lane you choose to deploy your creatures matters more than ever. Compete against other players until you reach nine wins or three losses - whichever comes first. Each run through the Gauntlet costs one Event Ticket or 150 Gold, up to three maximum runs.

Ballista Gauntlet: January 17 – January 20
In the Ballista Gauntlet, the normal Field and Shadow Lanes have been replaced! On the left is the Ballista Lane, which deals damage to your opponent if you control the most creatures in the Lane. On the right side is the Library Lane, which reduces the cost of actions by one Magicka as long as you control a creature there.

Will you fight for the more aggressive Ballista Lane or make the most of your actions in the Library Lane? Can you make the most of both? Your deckbuilding skills will decide! Rewards are earned with each victory and player performance is tracked on the leaderboards. Place high enough in the ranks at the end of the event and you could receive additional rewards!

The Ballista Gauntlet begins Friday, January 17 at 12pm ET and closes at 12pm ET on Monday, January 20. Events in The Elder Scrolls: Legends change regularly, so check in often to see what new challenges await!

It seems like we just got Flame of Xulta yesterday (it was actually October) and Promises by Firelight last month, but we're already getting a new set with 200+ cards in February! Echoes of Eternity will be the eighth full set for the game since it first launched in November of 2016.

Spoilers start this Sunday on Twitch during Finals coverage for the Eternal Championship Qualifier: Strange Lands at 1:00pm ET.

Sol has faded, and nightmare has engulfed Xulta. A great horde prepares to march on the plateau of Sol’s Altar, shrouded in whispers and fog. Cultists in blackened bone armor stand alongside corrupted paladins, their gem tattoos consumed with sickly light and their minds seething with terror. Overhead, corrupted dragons dominate the skies, their fires illuminating the horde below.

 Eremot has come for the Xultan Throne.

Deep in Xulta’s ancient past, the nightmare Eremot was once turned back by a band of champions who united to face a threat too dire for any to overcome alone.

Now, generations later, the skies above Sol’s Altar darken once more. Eremot has returned with a hunger too great for all of Xulta to contain, and a corrupting touch that bends others to his foul service. Will new champions rise to meet an old enemy, or has the Time of Ancestors run its course?

Find out in Echoes of Eternity, the eighth set in Eternal, bringing over 200 new cards to the game next month!

Alright, so I'm actually on my 4th region review, now! Ionia is definitely pretty strong compared to the Noxus post I had posted last week considering they have tools like 'Deny'. BUT....do you guys think Deny is overrated!? Personally, I think it is due to it not being about to counter burst spells.

I do have another video up that specifically addresses Deny, but it is also mentioned in this Ionia review. Let me know what you think! =)

ALSO - PS - There is supposedly news coming up on Sunday (possibly later) and I mention that in this video as well. So if you want to know more about that then here ya' go!

Here it is guys, i'm proud of what I've just discovered. Hope you have fun playing it :))

Hi folks,

anyone having problems with this weeks tavern brawl?

I lost against Sir Finnley because Reno buffed my opponents minion twice in a row. I am supposed to get a second chance against aviator Bob but every time i enter the mulligan phase, the game crashes.

I haven’t tried this on PC yet but right now i‘m unable to play the brawl since i get reconnected to the same match every time...

Any suggestions?

Hey guys, just wanted a little help on building out my Wild Collection. Just some background, I started out shortly after Boomsday launched and have worked feverishly to build as large a collection as time and money allows. Thus far, I have a full collection of Standard and most of the cards from the Kobolds, Frozen Throne, and Un'Goro expansions. I've also bought and completed all the old adventures that rewarded cards and just finished crafting all the Hall of Fame cards. I'm really wanting to fill out my collection in Wild and was wondering which expansion I should focus on next to try to maximize the number of high quality decks I can put together for Wild. Ultimately, I want to complete a full collection of both Wild and Standard, but that is a long term goal. Right now I just want to build the most powerful collection for the short term. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Is the collection manager and app like Innkeeper from Hearthpwn ever going to make it to this site?

It was the one thing that kept me coming back to Hearthpwn back in the day and as much as I prefer the coverage and forums here, without a card manager to help with knowing which decks I can easily craft or not, I'm more inclined to use Hearthpwn over this site.

As per title.

The deck seems to have everything: cycle, healing, mana cheat, broken removals.

Not unbeatable, but virtually flawless. It can't kill you by turn-6 as Sniplock could, but it can realiably survive long enough to just OTK you later.

Dirty Rat is too much of an highroll tbh, Aggro and Burn seem too unreliable. The window to kill them seems very narrow, to the point i typically feel hopeless against their ruthless cycling (historically, decks with so much cycle used to die in few turns while trying).

Am i just seeing the empty glass?

Any idea when the new cards will be revealed?

Hi all, and particularly those few who have kept up with the Banana Saga decks and write-ups as they have come out.

The finale is finally here (and I get to stop trying to find new ways to use [Hearthstone Card (Segeant Sally) Not Found] and Bananas. Hooray!) and boy does it make use of a lot of cards that even I had never put in a deck before. Feast you eyes on this monstrosity:

As usual the story in the deck description is the primary reason for the deck to exist, so don't expect great results out of it. At least it is stronger than the last one by virtue of having the highlander cards in it, plus the embarrassment you get your opponent to feel when you win is worth it.

Really though, I tried so hard to find any reason to play The Boogeymonster, and the best I could come up with was the tiny chance of giving it to your opponent with Mischief Maker. At least I can make it the star of a story I guess.

Hi all. Feeling quite pleased with myself this month, as I resisted the urge to dust Bwonsamdi, the Dead when I was given her/him/it as my free legendary at the launch of Rastakhan's Rumble. Over the last few weeks, the card has gone from dumpster tier to a core card in combo priest, arguably the best deck in the game atm.

Does anyone else have any smug tales of duff cards they've resisted the urge to dust, only for them to become extremely useful long after their release? Or are there cards sitting in your collection right now, which you're hoping will one day prove their worth? I'm still holding out for that Harbinger Celestia meta...

It's quite obvious by this point Paladin, druid and Hunter will be getting hero cards each representing the explorers.. there are 4 weeks, and 4 explorers.. reno is one I really doubt the others won't be hero cards as well specially since reno isn't the "boss" of the gang it's clearly elise.

Elise: looking at the adventure Elise had a starseeker hero power of making moonsfires, so I think she will go that route with something to do with combos. her legendary uldum card also have to do with combos, so my guess is something along the lines of a 7 mana card with a hero power that generates moonfires for 2 and a battlecry that gives armor or survability. Other option is a value heavy hero power of discovering a card like in battlegrounds.

Edit: in this expansion the druid theme was treants and dragons elise has less to do with treants so she might have to do with dreams as well.

Findley will provide either murlocs or buffs, that's the thing I got from him. About the cost, I predict for him is quite low around 5 cost since his other 2 versions cost little as well. hero power. again the basis is battleground where his hero power is to give minions +1/+1 multiple times as well as the uldum adventure where he summoned 2/1 amalgams, so buffs to small minions or summon murlocs.

Edit: this expansions' paladin theme was mechs,purity and some dragons I don't think this hero card will have to do with those themes though.

Brann, is weird I would say.. battlecries. but it's hunter, and hunter and battlecries don't mesh well together(it's not the hunter's theme at all).

Maybe he will have something about weapons since his second hero power in uldum made a weapon with 1 durability I can see that hero power be the one that actually appears in game or one similar, about his costs... I am not sure, but since it's hunter and they try to push it for late game generally I guess 8 or 9...? another direction they might go with it taming dragons since it's this expansion direction for hunter so he might rushing dragons on his battlecry.

So what do you think they will be? predict away!

Edit: added some better grammar sorry about it :/

I made this class for HearthPwn's Class Creation Competition #5, "Trials and Errors". I finished second-place overall, losing to Pircival's Archaeologist class. Within this theoretical scenario, Team 5 would have included Kel'Thuzad/The Lich as the tenth class of vanilla Hearthstone, implying that Curse of Naxxramas would not exist in its current form. So, with that in mind:

As a Lich, you will hold power over the forces of death and destruction, and freeze the very life from within your enemies. You will lead an undead army seemingly without limit, sweeping across this land like a plague. You will grind down the living until they succumb to the inevitable, their tired bodies given over to you to serve in death. Eventually everyone will join the Scourge!

Gameplay Summary

In the eyes of Kel'Thuzad, his victory is an inevitability: the enemy just hasn't realized this yet. The undead do not tire, do not need food, and do not feel pain; the forces of the living become weak from endless fighting, while the Scourge only grows in strength. You must show them the truth, wearing them down over the course of several turns until they run out of resources and die, tired and alone. The Lich utilizes various mechanics and gameplay elements to carry out this goal:

• Freeze - Master of the cold dark, Kel'Thuzad can freeze enemies in their tracks, buying him time until they can be dealt with properly.
• Deathrattles - Even in death minions have something to offer. The enemy can't let them live, but removing them creates more problems.
• Resurrection effects - Recycling minions is an efficient way to garner more value out of them, especially with Deathrattles or auras.
• Late-game fuel - The Scourge is infinite. Outlast the enemy until they have been sufficiently drained of resources.

If there's a complaint(?) to be had about these mechanics, it's that together they contribute to slow deck archetypes. The Hero Power can only stall for time, Deathrattles take time to activate, you can't resurrect until something has died, and you have to reach the late-game to benefit from the additional fuel. Similar to how the Hunter's earliest days were confined to Aggressive mindsets, the Lich - at least initially - focuses on Controlling, methodical gameplay. Taking his time, wearing out the opponent until lethal is within reach. You've already won; you just need to prove it.

Cards by Set

While this is all there is for now, I will continue to work on The Lich until I catch up to the Descent of Dragons and the present day. I might also go backwards and add the earlier sets. Everything here is a work-in-progress and subject to change. Thank you to everyone who gives it a look-through, and any feedback you would be willing to provide will be greatly appreciated :D

As we are preparing for the grand finale of the Hearthstone Year of the Dragon, let's take a moment to appreciate all the entertaining and flavorful trailers we've gotten over the years so far. I'd like people to rank their favorite Hearthstone trailers and list the basic reasoning. Doesn't have to be every single one if you don't want to. For example, I tend to judge the trailers by how catchy/humble I find them. For this reason, Rastakan's Rumble and Saviors of Uldum are at the top, while non-musical trailers like Ungoro or ones with little music like Rise of Shadows are at the bottom. Tell us your thoughts and prefrences for what you like to see in these trailers. 

So I just played Quest Hunter and encountered a very peculiar (in my opinion) inconsistency:

• Leeroy Jenkins accounts for 1 summon, though stating 'summon 2 minions for your opponent'
• Any cards your opponent plays, that summon minions for you, count towards your Quest

My question is WHY?

Apparently 'summon' is NOT dependent on the actual player summoning minions (otherwise the opponent summoning minoins shouldn't count) but 'players' (?) summoning minions?

Hearthstone team seems to accidentally added Dragonmaw Poacher back to arena, Lol. And I have encountered.a bug, of the mage minion, that freezes the target with mage hero power freeze card not freezing the target. Currently shaman run with 4 Dragonmaw poachers and keleseth, wtf is happening?

So I've been trying to get all of the different classes up to 500 wins.  I've never been good at making my own deck so I thought I would try and get some help from you folks.   

Right now I need Druid (Currently 223 Wins), Priest (Currently 183 Wins), Warrior (Currently 151 Wins), and Warlock (Currently 97 Wins).  I went into DOD expecting to play a lot of Warrior which I did at first but it then have tried playing Druid and Priest mostly.  I'm having trouble finding a deck that I find fun to play first of all.  While the goal is to get to 500 wins I don't care too much about ranking up.  In Standard i'm at rank 15 and Wild i'm rank 9 with 3 stars.  

I played the resurrect Priest a little but I don't really like the resurrect mechanic, it feels slimy to me.  So I found a Galkrond Priest and that was fun but I couldn't win enough with it.  I've played Galakrond Warrior and a little Pirate Warrior along with a couple different Treant Druid's and only dabbled with a Zoo Warlock deck.   I know some of these are the top decks for their classes but i'm hoping someone may offer a suggestion for something a little different even in Wild or help creating a decent deck.

Ancharrr is having its durability reduced to 2, from 3, in a patch later this week.

How do you feel about this change?

Once these changes are live, players will be able to disenchant the adjusted cards for their full Arcane Dust value for two weeks.

Since Descent of Dragons I’ve played some spells like Breath of the Infinite -requiring you to be holding a Dragon for bonus effect. Every time I go to play a card like this, my brain jumps to it being a Dragon card (part of the Dragon tribe).

Today though, this got me thinking how much this concept could add to the game as well. What I mean by this “concept” is - to add a sort of tribe or school to spell cards (not all spells, but a wide variety certainly). Fire spells, ice spells, holy spells, etc could simply use their school as the “tribe” label.

One might think this would only be advantageous to caster classes? Wrong, you could also add Beast to cards like Animal Companion because it only summons beasts. Kill Command is another Hunter spell that could easily include the beast tribe. Rogue uses a ton of spells that could likely end up as a school or tribe as well (shadow, stealth, agility, whatever name fits)

At the end of this, you might still be wondering why? How does it improve the game? 

1. Increases the flexibility/innovation in card design

2. Allows for more combinations such as “if you already cast a Fire Spell” etc gain bonus effect

3. Increases challenge and deck types pool

Hello Hunters!

I just wanted to see how folks have been building around Malygos this expansion.

I've gone down the Highlander path (attached) because it was working last expansion, but I'm wondering if going spell/secret heavy and combo'n with Vereesa Windrunner is working better for anyone.

Even within the Highlander build I'm curious what techs folks have been having success with, e.g. I've been tempted to throw in a Zilliax, Bone Wraith, or Khartut Defender to survive all the aggro but have held off so far in favor of a more consistent Jepetto pool.  Face Hunter is a particular problem and I considered Flare for a bit, but currently run Snipe instead as it has more universal use and can counter a Phase Stalker if you drop it going into their Turn 4 (or 3 if they have coin).

And to preempt any salt, yes, I know I could test out all these things myself.  However, there are a lot of people more skilled than I on these forums (so I may not think of every change and my experience piloting them may not be indicative of their true power) and my time is limited these days so I tend to stick with safer builds.

Thanks as always fellow Hunters!
