Hey guys, is anyone else having problems with the new portraits? I got Druid, Rogue and Warrior but none of them "register" when I go play

I managed to get from rank 8 to 3 with an N'zoth warlock,but I'm either very unlucky or the deck doesn't work anymore.Either way i tried climb with Big/Quest Priest(missing cloning Gallery) and a bit of quest shaman but it only brought me back to low rank 4.

I also thought about crafting vessina for an evolve shaman,but I'm kinda poor right now.

I would love to know what decks you guys used to get to legend this month.

As a lot of decks feature some kind of N'Zoth+Sylvannas+Khartut Defender-package right now, so how do you counter this massive swing turns? Especially resurection priest does really unholy things with some spells drawn into the mix. 

So, to counter this, has anybody tried Mojomaster Zihi? I suppose she could be good in a rogue deck, where you can bounce and shuffle her back, ever denying a 9 or 10 manaplay for your opponent.

What would then be my decks win condition? Please contribute with any ideas you may have how to build a deck that never reaches 9/10 mana, and capitalises on a opponent's full hand, as well has some cheap resource generation.

So - We start the Plague Lord on chapter 3 and she says something like "We cannot do this in one run, but at least we can weaken it". 

Bullshit! One and done baby!

Great article on Mythgard Hub for anyone starting out in the game. 

I'll probably do a thread with various sites and streamers, as well as an article on the economy of the game the following days, today I've just haven't had the time. 

In this thread, I'm going to talk about Paths and Powers in Mythgard. Think of them as "build your own class": a Path is independent of it's Power, and both are independent of the 6 colors. You choose them when you make a deck, as if they were cards. You can make your deck without using either, but you'd just put yourself at an unnecessary disadvantage. Both of them are unlocked as you level up.

Powers

They're very similar to Hero Powers in Hearthstone, though with a significantly lower power level. I wont't spend too much time on them, since they're pretty self explanatory. The Power is represented in game by the circle on the right, with the number below being it's cost.

Our first Power is Impel. The '2' in the cost of the power. This is a really good general purpose Power. Can be used to get a minion out of harm's way, or get closer to an enemy for a kill (remember that most minions can't move and attack on the same turn). Particularly good with Teleport (move to any lane).

Really good in aggro decks, kills your opponent faster.

In my opinion, the worst power in the game. it's the only one to cost 3 mana, and you have to banish a card from the grave to get it's effect, a measly 1/1. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something.

Really good control Power, and the one with the most potential value.

Really good comeback power. If a self-damage deck ever emerges, I imagine this is going to be it's choice.

Good Power for info gathering, though I haven't seen it played much. (Divination X = Look at the top X cards of your deck. Pick one to put on top and the rest on bottom.)

Paths

This is where things get a little complicated. Paths are passives that you benefit from throughout the game. All of them give you extra life at the start of the game, with values ranging from 3 to 8 (so a player can have between 23 and 28 life at the start of the game), and the all have a Pursuit: an effect that activates if you go second. Paths are represented in game by 3D models like the one below, situated at the sides of the game board. Yours is to the left, while your opponent's is to the right. You can hover your mouse over to see what it is. This representation might change in the near future.

The most general-use Path in the game. The first season will always be Spring, and then it will change at the start of each turn. This means that, if you go second, you'll have 20+4+2+1=27 Health (assuming the enemy doesn't damage you). On your second turn, it's Summer all your minions would be healed for 1. On your third turn, Fall draws a card, which is probably the most potent of the effects. 

On your fourth turn, Winter comes and the one negative effect takes place. Fragile 1 means your minions take 1 extra damage from all sources. This is also the only ongoing effect of the card, and it can catch a lot of people off-guard, even veterans.

After this, the cycle starts anew. There are a few ways to tell what the current season is:

• You can look at the 3D model of the card.
• You can hover over the model and read the current season on the card.
• There's a small icon above your portrait with SP, SM, F or W, depending on the season

The Path of the Aggro. Also the one that offers the least amount of life at the start of the game, and he only one without any form of card draw. To explain how the card works, let's pretend you start second:

• You start with 2 souls. You can check the number of souls by hovering over the 3D model of the path, or from the tiny icon above your portrait.
• After one of your minions dies, you gain 1 more soul, putting you at 3.
• At the start of your turn, the souls are set to 0 and you get the minion on the bottom of your deck back
• Rinse and repeat.

Important to note that you'll never get more than one minion on a turn, even if you have more souls. For example, if you have 7 souls at the start of your turn, they're reduced to 4 and you get one minion back.

The Path of Power, and the least played one at the moment, simply because it has no deck that really takes advantage of it. The Path always starts at night, so the first time you use your Power, you'll have to discard a card (it switches to day), and ALL minions, including your opponent, have Slayer 1, which means they do 1 extra damage to other minions when they battle, and this effect persists until you use your power again. When you do, you get to look at the top 2 cards of your deck and draw it, and all your minions get to heal if they don't attack. 

The Path isn't necessarily bad, but like I said, there's really no deck that takes advantage from it.

The Path of Enchantments. Really good if you run about 6-9 enchantments. Any less, and you don't really get the benefit from this. Any more, and your deck risks not having enough steam. The first effect (after the life gain) helps you get your Enchantments and cycles trough your deck faster. The one right bellow it is a really good way to replace your early game Enchantments with late game ones for, while also giving some mana. For example, Blue has an Enchantment that gives the minion on top +1/+1,and another that gives it +3/+3. Late game, you might want to replace the small one with the big.

Finally, The Path of Artifacts. Also the most convoluted one. Let's go trough this step by step:

• You play an Artifact.
• This gives you 1 Energy (the lightning bolt), which means you'll get a 1 Mana 1/1 Forgeling. This is what they are:                                                                
• The Forgelings are ALWAYS created in this order. The first one you'll get will be Tempered, the second Rotary, the third Molten, the fourth Tempered etc. Ephemeral means that when it leaves the battlefield (destroyed in battle, returned to hand, shuffled in deck etc.), it will be instantly banished. If that happens, the Demise effect won't trigger, unless it's killed proper. The rest of their abilities are, in order (those don't scale with the minion, thei always stay at 1-2-2):
  • Reduce the damage taken by one.
  • When attacking, deal 2 damage to the adjacent enemy lanes (minions that are there or the opponent, if there aren't).
  • Restore 2 Health to this at the end of your turn.
• When you play a Forgeling, the effect of the Path activates, and you get to look at the top card of your decks. You can choose any Artifacts to draw, and if there are none, you still get to know what your next 4 cards are.
• Repeat from step one :)

And that's how this works. I hope I made it clear for you, like I said, this Path is quite convoluted. Like with the Rainbow before it, the best number of Artifacts is about 6-9, maybe 5-10.

And that's a wrap! Thanks for reading!

Noticed some Uldum cards in the Dalaran Heist.

Any interesting cards played with past Adventure bosses?

Most of the info in this post comes from eternalcardgame.fandom.com.

Here is a link to all of the Keywords and a brief description of what they do. There are a lot, which is why I'm not copy pasting them in here.

Below, I will copy/paste the battle skills that units can have. The information below is also available at this link. These are also keywords, but they specifically give abilities to units that are in play.

Aegis: Protected from one enemy spell or effect (but not from battle damage).

Berserk: When this attacks, you may give it Reckless to attack a second time this turn. Can only be used once.

Charge: Can attack the turn it is played.

Deadly: Kills any unit it damages.

Double Damage: Deals double damage.

Endurance: Ready's on each player's turn, and can't be stunned or exhausted by spells or effects.

Exalted: When this unit dies, play a weapon with its / and other battle skills on one of your units.

Flying: Can only be blocked by other units with flying.

Killer: May be exhausted one time to attack any enemy unit.

Lifesteal: When this deals damage, you gain that much .

Overwhelm: When this hits an enemy unit, leftover damage is dealt to the enemy player.

Quickdraw: When this kills a blocking unit, the blocker doesn't deal damage back.

Reckless: This must attack.

Revenge: The first time this is killed, give it Destiny and put it into the top ten cards or your deck.

Unblockable: Cannot be blocked.

Warcry: When this attacks, the top unit or weapon of your deck gets +1/+1.

These are other skills a unit can have, but they are not exactly "battle skills," since they are relevant even when the unit is not in play. (Again, copy pasted from the link above.)

Ambush: Can be played (directly from your hand) to block an enemy attack, or at the end of their turn.

Bond: When played, you may exhaust another unit of the same type to reduce this card’s cost by the exhausted unit’s .

Destiny: Automatically play when drawn, then draw another card.

Echo: Get an additional copy when drawn.

Pledge: On your first turn, a card with Pledge can be played as a Sigil.

Voidbound: This card can't leave the void.

Warp: You can play this from the top of your deck.

Hi everyone!
I've completed the brawl under the 40min limit and got the rewards yesterday.
But now when connected the rewarded cards are missing. Already contacted support, but wanted to know if there are more people having this issue.

In this thread I'm going to talk about each of the 6 colors in the game. I'm mostly going to go over their lore and themes, and not so much over how they play. If you want that, this video from WatsUpWoody is a great watch.

The game of Mythgard takes place in the present day, in a world where myths and legends are real, and where the most powerful gods have been killed or have gone missing as a result of a cataclysmic battle (most likely Ragnarock), and the smaller deities were left to fill the power vacuum. Down below we'll explore how different pantheons adapted.

Blue, aka Norden - Riding the Storm

Blue represents the norse myths and legends. Here's where you'll find giants, elves, trolls and a few undead. Blue also has a strong connection to nature, so expect to find a few elementals, spirits and wild animals, as well as more than a few natural disasters. One notable faction within blue are the Freki Valkyries. They're a biker gang comprised exclusively of women with powers derived from the Norse gods. They are involved in the traffic of Godsblood, a substance the vampires consume.

Yellow, aka Aztlan - We kill everything to make a profit

What happens when you use the spirit of an Aztec god to make a star destroyer. You get the Magpyre Corp, the main faction within Yellow. They're a megacorporation that has pretty much wiped out every diety in the south-american in order to manufacture and sell Godsblood, as well as create cutting edge technology. They also experiment on wildlife and let it roam free just for the heck of it.

 Red, aka Orobos - Don't deal with the Demons

Red is a mix of ancient Greek myths and Christian Demonology. They have a lot of fire and underworldly motifs. This is where you'll find a lot of vampires, as well as a circus-inspired group of demon summoners known as The Carnies.

 Green, aka Dreni - This isn't your magic, this is our magic

The main faction in Green is the Ved'ma, which can best be described as Magical Soviet Union. They kidnap little girls with magical powers and brainwash them into being subservient. Their will is enforced by the Volkov, a military force comprised exclusively of werewolf. This color also has some really big creatures, and most of it is inspired by east-european folklore.

Orange, aka Parsa - We are holier than thou

The Parsa take inspiration from both Hebrew and Arabian religion, and mixes it with Egyptian and Persian myths. A good number of their units are inspired by Middle-Eastern millitary, and they have a lot of desert imagery.

Purple, aka Harmony - Megathrusters are GO!

Anime. That's the best, and frankly, only way to describe Purple. You have giant mech suits fighting kaiju, cyber ninja, yokai and oni at every corner of the streets, all while the spirit world and the virtual world mix together. Purple is also the most recent color in the game, though when exaclty I can't tell you.

Aaaand done! Hope you enjoyed this gigantic thread. if you want to read a more in-depth analysis, there's this Reddit post, minus Purple, since it wasn't out at the time.

In this thread, I'm going to go ever the keywords found in the game. I'll pretty much just copy-paste them from the Mythgard wiki, adding additional explanations and/or example images where I feel the need. I'm going to assume you at least know the basics of how to play the game. 

I've noticed that the site added a dedicated section in the forums for Eternal and Runeterra, and the one for Magic has ben there for a while. One game I've really gotten into is Mythgard, and the game is growing slowly, but surely, and it's still in beta. I'm hoping the mods can add a section for it. Please?

Thanks for coming to my TED talk :)

Anyone else playing with this card?

Seems that it's persistent between runs and heroes. I now start every game with a 12/12 charger with taunt.

Legends of Runeterra is a card game from Riot Games that was announced on October 15, 2019.

Hi there

As OOC seeks to cover not just Hearthstone but other card games also, I thought I'd ask if there are any plans to add filtering for visitors to select/unselect the games they are interested in, and the main page filter accordingly.

Or if not, of course one can just visit say https://outof.cards/hearthstone

However, that page doesn't show recent forum threads (ideally HS areas only), decks, brawl info etc though this could be changed.

As OOC expands to cover more games, with more articles/content, this could be really handy to help hone in on the things that interest the user.  Not a huge issue right now, but I could see it perhaps becoming one.

Anyway whatever your plans - keep up the great work!

Another great aspect of Eternal is the variety of available game modes, some of which are single player (which I'll call "AI" modes), some of which are against other players (PvP).

AI game modes:

Campaign - These are purchased with in-game currency (mostly 25,000 gold), and they grant full sets of specific cards when you complete the campaign (extremely similar to Hearthstone Adventures). Complete the campaign encounters, get the cards. Pretty simple.

Forge - This is a lot like Arena in Hearthstone, but you play against a random selection of pre-made decks that are piloted by the AI. You begin with being offered 3 cards. You choose one of the three cards, which becomes the first color of a 2-color deck. You are then offered 3 new cards; if you choose a different color than the first card, that will determine your two colors for the rest of the Forge. So, you select one card from a set of three options until you have a deck of 25 cards. You then play your games. There is a cost of in-game currency (2500 gold) to play this mode, BUT you keep every card you pick permanently in your collection. And if you win 7 games before you lose twice, you will also earn 3x-4x packs of cards, on top of the cards you already earned by making your deck.

Gauntlet - This is the free AI mode. You create a 75-card deck and play against a random selection of pre-made AI decks. The last encounter will be a special boss fight with special rules, but you never know which boss you will face in a given run (so you can't really build your deck for it). Free to start this mode, but you do earn gold for doing well in it. And the first few times you get 7 wins, you get a free pack.

PvP Game Modes:

Casual/Practice - You earn about 50 gold for winning a game in this mode. No other rewards. You can use this mode to complete daily quests, or to test out deck ideas. No other real rewards though.

Ranked - This is the ladder for Eternal. It includes every card ever printed in the game (which is a lot). Kind of like Wild mode in Hearthstone. Bring your best deck, try to beat everyone else. You start out as Copper-III, and can rank up to Copper-II, then Copper-I, then you become Silver (which also has 3 tiers), then Gold, then Diamond, then Masters (Masters is equivalent to Legend). Ranking up through each tier requires earning 100 points. Exactly how many points you earn in each tier is slightly randomized, but for Copper through Gold, you basically will rank up to the next tier if you win 5 games in a row. Also, in Copper through Gold, you lose fewer points for losing than you gain for winning. So the climb is possible even with a slightly less than 50% winrate. This last part is not true for Diamond, where you (usually) get 15 points for winning and lose 15 points for losing.

Expedition - This is a new game mode, and will be more like Standard mode in Hearthstone. There is a limited pool of cards that are allowed to played in this mode. The current set will always be fully allowed (all the cards), but the remaining cards allowed will rotate in and out. Exactly how rotations will happen in this mode is not yet clear. But currently it is designed to have a lower power level than Ranked mode.

Draft - This is a mode where you gradually choose 48 cards, one card at a time, from "packs" that are presented to you. Exact details of this mode would take too long to explain here. It is a complex mode, also similar to Arena in Hearthstone, but significantly different. Like Forge mode, every card you pick while building your draft deck is yours to keep permanently. This game mode costs 5000 gold per entry. If you want to "go infinite" in draft, you actually have to win all 7 games before you lose 3, which is not easy to do. Most people who specialize in draft have to pay money to keep up.

Special Events - There are special events every few weeks which give nice rewards, as well as a monthly league.

So, lots of game modes, all of which are fun and interesting.

I just noticed that you guys added a section to the website for a card game that has not even been only just released. Meanwhile, there is a very high quality card game that has been in existence for 2-3 years called Eternal, which does not have a section on the site.

And it's recently been getting a lot of new players coming over from Hearthstone. Maybe you could consider adding a section for Eternal?

In the simplest possible terms, Eternal is a streamlined version of Magic: The Gathering, for those who are familiar with Magic. It has many very similar mechanics, and the combat rules are similar, though it has fewer response windows, which speeds up the game-play. It is also quite possibly the friendliest Free-To-Play model of any digital card game. You literally get a daily free pack just for winning your first pvp game of the day.

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, here is the longer explanation. Have you ever been frustrated by the fact that Hearthstone only lets you do things half the time (i.e. on your own turn)? That there is very little you can do about an aggro beatdown, aside from try to throw a taunt in the way? Then Eternal might be worth a shot. The game-play is quite a bit more complex and interesting than Hearthstone, AND you can interact with your opponent on both your own turn AND their turn as well.

When your opponent attacks, they do not decide which creature hits which creature; you, as the defender, decide that. You also decide whether to just let them hit your face instead of a creature. There are also spells called "fast spells" which can be played during your opponent's turn, if you saved mana for them.

I'll stop there for now, but if any of this is interesting to you, head on over to the Reddit and check out the first two pinned posts there. The first is a great place to ask questions; the second is a place to get a referral link that gets you some freebies in game. https://www.reddit.com/r/EternalCardGame/

The official news website for Eternal is here: https://www.direwolfdigital.com/news/

If you want to message me in game, my in game ID is: TheScot+1473

Eternal is my favorite card game; they just introduced a new game mode; they currently have a good drops campaign going in Twitch; AND they just released a new set. It's an exciting time to be playing it.

Just logged in and got an update notice.  Downloaded the update, processed the packet (quickly I might add) then green fireflies have sprouted across the tavern's main screen and a green outline surrounds the Arena button for a moment (they are no changes to Arena that I can see, though I am in the middle of a run)... anyone know what is going on?

The reward for finishing Doom in the Tomb tavern brawl in under 40 minutes is a golden Ancient Mysteries. Which means I have 3 now. I didn't realise that the disenchant screen split in two to show them separately from the others!

Does anyone here play Magic in real life outside of Arena? If so what formats do you play? I've been looking for a place to talk about older formats and drafts since the shutdown of MTGSalvation, and I'm already on this site for the HS content.

Hi

Anyone able to explain how to use Lock and Load well? Seems like quite a risky card. You need a lot of mana and luck to wait out for some RNG? And you spend a bunch of your own cards? Basically I don't know how to use it properly.

As almost everyone knows blitzchung is kicked out of gm and is not allowe to play competive hearthstone for a year also hes dont get any prize from this season

This is the official article about it
