If you are playing an EVIL class, and you use a card has "invoke Galakarond", I am reading that the new hero power is triggered as well. That is, even if you don't have the new hero card equipped yet.

For example, if you are playing as a Warlock and you use Dragonblight Cultist, you will get the following result for 3 mana:

• 2 1/1 imps are created on the board, as that is the Warlock upgraded hero power (achieved after using Galakrond later in the game)
• the 1/1 minion actually becomes at least a 3/1 minion, as he gains 1 attack for every other minion on the board (including the two 1/1 imps)

There is a video on the Blizzard website for this expansion which shows how such a card works with the Rogue class.

Assuming I have this right (?), suddenly the "invoke Galakarond" cards seem much, much better. 

can someone enlighten me why is faerie dragon suddenly in tempo rogue lists.. seems out of place.. or is it a prelude to next expansion?

With Hearthstone Battlegrounds soon to be among us (and even playable by some), HearthCards has now received an update to allow you to make your own cards for the mode.

Look at Reshaper Murrie here. It's got a 6-star shield icon in place of where a mana cost would normally be. This signifies that it's a card for the Battlegrounds mode.

Let's try to make one ourselves. How do you do that? The first thing we need to do is click on the cog button (highlighted with the red circle). Clicking that will bring you to this menu:

We've seen this menu before, but now there's an option called "Mana to Tavern Tier (Battlegrounds)", which includes a drop-down menu. By default, it will be set to Off, but clicking it will give you a set of 7 options which include the standard Off, and the numbers 1-6, which represent the tiers of cards found in the mode.

From that point, just keep making the card as normal, and the result will look something like this:

When you use the option to change the mana cost to the shield icon, the icon will not show up whilst you make the card, but it will show up properly after you click "Create". There's no need to fill in a mana cost, because it will be replaced by the shield anyway.

So let's look at our finished card again.

It looks like a real Battlegrounds card, does it not? Something that is worth mentioning is that most existing collectable cards in the mode will keep their watermark, but new cards the are exclusive to the Battlegrounds mode will have no watermark. To achieve this, click the "Custom" watermark option, and then click "None" in the list of watermarks.

As the Battlegrounds mode is very fresh, we have yet to fully determine the balancing, but if you wish to see all of the cards in the mode, click here.

In addition, each card in the mode has a Golden variation (meaning there's finally a reason to actually use the Golden option). Golden versions of Battleground cards have their stats doubled, and their effect upgraded if applicable. Usually, this effect is doubled, but there are some exceptions (any card with an x2 effect will upgrade to an x3 effect). Some cards how effects that do not receive upgrades at all when made Golden, which include minions who's effects are entirely made of keywords, or grant a keyworded mechanic under a trigger (Cobalt Guardian, Toxfin).

If we make Loan Shark Golden, it will look something like this:

An interesting point to note is that Golden cards have slightly different text space to them, meaning that if you reduce the card's text size to get rid of an orphan in the text box, the finished card might still end up with that orphan. In this case, you'll need to reduce the card's text even further.

Custom class designs do not support Golden cards, so if you're making one of your custom class cards for the Battlegronds mode, you'll need to use an existing class design similar in color if you still wish to make it Golden.

Did I get this right? 

I hope battlegrounds is fun for more than a few rounds, but unfortunately i doubt it. 

Hey, folks! Quick thread letting you know how to get involved with both the localisation and the lore of the game, if you want to. Keep in mind that both of these are voluntary work.

First up, localisation. You can apply to become a translator for the game, and then your client will be modified to allow you to edit the text, once you're approved. You'll receive some packs for your efforts. More info here.

Finally, lore. You can submit fan lore cards in game that don't have it (the text next to the card when it's enlarged). But hurry up: all submissions must be received before 12 midnight PST on November 11th, 2019. More info here.

What do you think? 

So, I haven't played in a year or two, and I just got back in. I just opened up a copy of Vessina, and I was wondering what decks I could build with her, because I have no idea what to do : ). I've got about 7000 dust saved up from last time I played, so if anyone has some fun decklists, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

I've noticed the last two days I've been kicked off Hearthstone after a match or the game crashes on the PC more often.

Thought it was bad enough I couldn't play it on my tablet as we await the mobile patch/expansion purchase options there.

Just a strict copy paste from their homepage, for the readers here to get an idea of what is coming.

Hi,

I wanted to make a thread to my Youtube Hearthstone channel in the Stream and Video section of the forums. However, I keep getting directed a blank page and telling me it's forbidden. Below is the image of the page I was directed to.

How do I need to access the forum? Thank you.

Here's a bunch of sites and YouTube channels where you can find useful information about Mythgard:

• The Mythgard Site: Official site of the game, recommend reading their FAQ
• Mythgard Hub: Site for decks and deck building, as well as community written articles and event listings (tournaments and such) for the game.
• The Boneyard: Podcast about Mythgard.
• What's Up Woody: Streamer, has a few very good videos for new players.
• Lore Broker's Files: Videos on the lore of the game.

I'll add more as I find them.

So, did you ever made something in hearthstone that felt like a public service? I just though about it while I am still battling a 2xxx armor druid. He won the moment he got to that armor count. I had no way of winning, but then... He started roping... And well I just followed him... So here we are... 20 turns into his fatigue still roping. And I feel is the best someone can do with this kind of players. Just make sure they dont do the same to anyone else. And get them in a game for as long as you can. if you were about to stop playing and just wanted to watch some youtube.

All because he started roping...

Did you ever had a moment like this when you thought... Oh.. This will make other peoples day better? Wanted to know your thoughts...

Hey, Folks. So there's a new Mythgard tournament happening on the 17th of November organizeed by 98.3 Media. If you want to participate, you should know that the decks MUST be Mono Color. Here are more details.

This should be relevant for any new players, note that there is likely to be a balance patch in mid Nov.

I miss (a bit) monthly threads we used to have in "that other HS forum" about our legend climb each season so, why not starting them here?

My objective each month is rank 5 (I don't play enough hours per week to be any more ambitious). I climbed very fast in the first days with Flamewaker so I was quite optimistic, but then I fell in a losing streak, so I switched decks. Neither Secret Paladin nor Murloc Shaman have worked especially, I've been in rank 7 for 2 full weeks!!! The grind is real this month...

I'm going to try Tempo Rogue now, I need a change!

For this thread, I'm just posting links to resources to help anyone who wants to know more about Eternal.

Many general guides, FAQ, and New Player Guide are included at the subreddit wiki here.

An excellent guide to draft, written by one of the best draft players in the game, is at this link here. The guide is great for learning how draft works. However, the specific archetypes and card choices mentioned in this guide are from the previous rotation, so they are not relevant anymore.

There are some very good budget decks that players have put together, to help you get into the game fast. 

Hyper aggressive - https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/-kJlbqMPm2M/true-budget-deck-for-new-players-no-rares-no-adventure-cards

Less aggressive, but still aggro - https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/vg8e-9xnGr8/budget-argenport-gunslinger-scums

Yet another aggressive deck (most cheap decks are aggressive): https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/NYuJCK2lNo8/a-budget-rakano-aggro

A budget midrange deck: https://eternalwarcry.com/decks/d/66GHn5IcezQ/budget-fps-mid

You can also search the deck website yourself for budget or starter decks, www.eternalwarcry.com

It's just me? or after the rotation of dual class, arena seems pretty op right now? i played few runs, on which i was thinking i have a really good decks, but a lot of the times opponents had insane opening, or really good card quality, like never before.

I think it would be a good idea to add an option to the card browser to only show cards that have 1 line of text or under 3 lines of text and so on.

Hey guys, I searched the forum and found only a closed hearthstation thread to this Topic. 

How is the roadmap providing a HDT plugin for scanning users Card Collection?

So this weekend a Mytgard tournament took place (forgot to advertise it here, sorry), and this little gem happened.

I'm going to explain what happens step by step:

• The Ironbelly Wyvern is placed on Giant's Stairway, which gives it +3/+3
• After attacking, the player replaces the Enchantment (which he can do because of his Path), killing the Wyvern
• However, the new Enchantment is Stairway to Hades, which revives the minion that dies on it and gives it Frenzy (this doesn't work on Demons, and the revived minion becomes a Demon)
• Because the Wyvern has Rush, he can go face immediately, and then play Wings of Abadon which also has Rush for lethal (the Enchantment there wouldn't have mattered)

All in all, a really awesome play. You can watch the whole thing here.

I was wondering if there were guides or stats on when is the best time to play Scavenging Hyena.

Should I mulligan for it and drop it on turn 2. Or mulligan it away and wait until much later, trying to make sure I can immediately power it up?

It appears one of the AI opponents found himself a new Majordomo.

Hello, there! In this article I'm going to go into detail about the economy of the game. I'll cover stuff like pricing, crafting cost and how easily you can get various cards in the game. But before I get to that I just want to say:

!!!!!!!MAAT!!!!!!!

The site's paragraph font really doesn't do it justice, so I'll just type it 3 more times:

!!!!!!!MAAT!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!MAAT!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!MAAT!!!!!!!

This is a system in the game made to ensure good sportsmanship among players. The way it works is, there's a small thumbs up in the lower-right corners of the screen. If both you and your opponent press it, you get MAAT, which is a sort of secondary levelling system that award you wild cards (I'll get to those) at certain intervals. If either player won't press the button, none of you get anything.

The reason I'm bringing this up so soon is because the function is poorly communicated to the players. It's barely visible, doesn't appear at all during the story segment, and you can't press it if the game start showing you your game earnings (coins gained, exp earned etc.), and I everyone that gets into the game to be very aware of this.

With that out of the way, let's continue to:

Currencies and Pack price

Mythgard has 3 major currencies:

• Essence, which is used to Make cards. You can also Unmake cards for a smaller amount of Essence.
• Coins, which you can use to buy packs.
• Mythril, which you can use to upgrade cards to Prestige (basically Shiny/Golden cards from other games) or buy packs

Essence and Coins are earned by playing the game, while Mythril can only be bought for real money. A pack can be bought for either 1200 Coins, or 15- Mythil. Here's a table that explains the options for buying Mythril, as well as the equivalent number of packs.

Pack contents and Wild cards

There are 4 rarities in Mythgard: Common, Uncommon, Rare and Mythic. I'll be referring to them as Bronze, Silver, Gold and Mythic respectively, to avoid confusion with other card games.

Packs in Mythgard contain 6 cards, divided as such:

• 3 Bronze
• 2 Silver
• 1 Gold with a 10% chance of an upgrade to Mythic

I find this to be a pretty good, considering you're guaranteed to have at least the second-highest rarity in your deck. On the flip side, you can only have exactly ONE Gold or Mythic in a pack. Those modifiers also apply:

• 14% of packs will upgrade one or more of your cards to Prestige
• 14% of packs will upgrade one or more of your cards to Wild card(s)
• A Mythic pity timer every 20 packs
• Duplicate protection for Mythics

You can also upgrade cards to Prestige using Mythril, though I personally don't recomend it, since the amount isn't worth it. Here's a table breaking down the cost of Making and Unmaking cards:

I've mentioned Wild cards, but I haven't explained what they are. They are basically cards that you can use to make actual cards instead of using Essence. They have the same rarities and colors as regular cards, and in order to use them, they must match the card you want to make in both color and rarity. There are also Wild cards that can be used to make cards of any color, and the game will automatically use those over the other ones when making a card. I you unmake a Wild card, you'll get double the Essence that you'd get from a normal one, but it's not recommended unless you have all the cards of that rarity and color.

So far, I think I've opened about 50 packs and I have 6 Mythics at the moment, out of 99. I also have 58% Bronzes, 47% Silvers and 31% Rares. There are a little more than 450 cards in the game atm.

There are also Packs that offer nothing but Golds and Mythics, but those are extremely rare/once per account (can't remember which exactly).

Story and Puzzles

The first thing you should do is play the story and the puzzles, since they teach you how to play the game, as well as give you a little gold. I won't go into detail here, since the rewards are sadly quite insignificant, and the devs are probably going to overhaul them soon, so this section is going to be updated. 

The missions tab

This is what the missions tab looks like:

There's quite a lot to unpack here, so let's go step by step:

• The first item is the bonus daily pool of coins. It works as such:
  • You earn coins from this pool by playing the game:
    • 120 from a PvP win
    • 50 from a PvP loss
    • 50 from a PvE win
  • The first pool depletes when you play any game mode.
  • The second pool depletes when you play a PvP game mode. If you still have coins in the first pool, it won't start depleting until you deplete this one.
  • The third pool is a non-replenishable pool that everyone gets. You start depleting it when the other too pools are done.
  • If you manage to deplete all pools, you'll still earn rewards as follows:
    • 40 from a PvP win
    • 15 from a PvP loss
    • 10 from a PvE win
• The second item is a bit confusing. You see, after winning a match, you get a free card. This item tells you how many cards you have left to earn.
• The third item is a series of quests intended for new players. The first few are relatively easy and reward you with Coins. The following are a tad more difficult and award you with multi-color Wild cards. After that something called a "High-Five" quest will appear, but I don't exactly know what it is. When I get to it, I'll update this thread. it's a 1200 coin quest that reads "win 5 matches", that you have 22 hours to complete. You can also complete it in PvE, which is recommended.
• The following 3 items are your run-of the mill quests, like the Hearthstone ones.
• Finally, there's the weekly chest. This chest can only be opened once every 7 days, with the first week starting when you create your account, and resetting every 7 days, NOT after you open a chest. So if you open it 3 days into the week, you'll have to wait another 4 for the next one, not 7.To open it, you must collect 5 gems, which you do by playing the game. You have a 25% chance to get one if you win in PvP, and a 10% chance if you loose in PvP or win in PvE.
• Update: Team Rhino has also added faction mission to the game. They are missions that you must complete with a specific color, but you can only complete one at a time. After you have completed, you will have enough gold for 27 packs, as well as the following for each color:
  • 6 common wildcards and 6 common staples
  • 5 uncommon wildcards and 4 uncommon staples
  • 2 rare wildcards and 1 rare staple
  • 1 mythic wildcard

Achievements, Levels and MAAT

As you can see, there are 2 more tabs in the Missions menu:

• Achievements are exactly what you'd expect them to be: menial tasks that progress as you naturally play the game. There are 10 of them, 8 worth 700 Coins, and 2 worth 900.
• Levels are also gain by playing the game. There are 99 levels and each level grants the following rewards:
  • Level 1 - 1000 Coins
  • Level 2 - 1 Pack
  • Levels 3 onward: 1000 Coins/1 Pack/250 Essence per level, cycling in this order
  • Levels 3 to 13: Paths and Powers, though those can be obtained trough other means
  • Levels 3 to 61: Portraits, though those can be obtained trough other means
• I've already explained what MAAT is. There are 99 levels of MAAT and each level grants the following rewards:
  • 4 Bronze Wild cards/3 Silver Wild cards/1 Gold Wild card/1 Mythic Wild card per level, cycling in this order. I'm not sure about the Colors.
  • MAAT 5 to 38: card backs, though those can be obtained trough other means

Codes and Starter Bundle

Finally, there's the Starter Bundle. For 10 USD, you get 10 Packs, 1500 Mythril (aka, another 10 Packs for a total of 20), a Path and Power and a few portraits.

There are also Codes the devs distributed trough their newsletter that give you 10 packs and a bunch of multi-color Wild cards, but I'm not sure when they will come or even if they will keep publishing it. The consensus online is that this is more of a patch solution until they revamp the new player experience. You can try and ask for some on Reddit, on r/Mythgard. Those codes are no longer available as of Patch 0.16.3, being instead replaced by the faction missions.

MAAT!

Sorry, just wanted to remind everyone of this. Hope you found this post useful and I'll see you later!
