It is expected that with the new tavern, we get also the special halloween event including dual class arena and meta-shake with cards returning to standard.

I've been off for some time and need to ask whether they still grant a free ticket to anyone with an incomplete arena or not. I currently have a 2 loss arena but if they grant a ticket, i'm fine leaving it like it is now :P

Whenever I see a thread in Recent Threads (or Active Threads on the forum page) that I've been following and want to see what just got posted, it's annoying to get sent to page one and have to click through to the newest page. It's even worse for long threads since there's no newest post button, you just have to click through multiple times until you reach the newest post.

Is there a way to have the Recent/Active Threads lists link to the most recent post instead of the first post? I know there's the Last Post button in the forums themselves, is there a way to link to that instead?

Having great fun knocking up some decks. Easy to make, quick to play.

Hallow's End 2019 begins at 10:00 AM PT on October 8 and runs until 9:00 AM PT on October 30!

The Dual-Class Arena Hallow’s End dress-up party is back! When you start an Arena run during the Doom in the Tomb event, you’ll choose a Hero, then a Hero Power, and card offerings will feature cards from BOTH of those classes, in addition to neutral cards.

• To ensure that players have a chance to try out this devilish dual-class deck-building dress-up party, weeks 1 and 2 of this event will award Arena Tickets on login!

IMPORTANT: Players who have an active Arena run when this begins will have their current run ended and will receive an Arena Ticket as compensation.

• Play out your run to x-2 (x wins and max. 2 losses) if you want more rewards from your run, or just leave it at 0-0 if you dont want to bother playing.
• Friendly Neighborhood Gladiator: if you do plan on leaving your run at 0-0, might as well start two games and concede to two players, getting some positive karma :) You will get the identical rewards for 0-0 and 0-2 score.

So far, the announced sets for this event are:

• Curse of Naxxramas
• Goblins vs. Gnomes
• Blackrock Mountain
• The Grand Tournament
• League of Explorers
• Whispers of the Old Gods
• One Night in Karazhan
• Mean Streets of Gadgetzan
• Journey to Un'Goro
• Knights of the Frozen Throne
• Kobolds & Catacombs

...meaning we might actually not have Basic and Classic sets included. Interesting.

FAQ

Q: When should I start my run to receive a free Arena Ticket for a retired run?

A: Ideally several hours before the event start/end, arena entries are generally closed few hours prior.

Q: Will I get another Arena Ticket, if I keep an active run before the event's end?

A: Yes.

Q: Do Arena Tickets stack?

A: Yes. (source)

Q: Do Arena Tickets expire?

A: No.

Q: Where are my rewards for the retired run? I opened my arena rewards but didn't get any pack or gold/dust.

A: This is a known bug, arena rewards are actually awarded to you once you finish your last game, before you open up the reward boxes. When an arena reset happens, it gets even more confusing because this happens on log in; sometimes you have to restart the game. People often see (1) pack in their inventory, don't think much about it, go open it and then go collect arena rewards only to find out they didn't get anything. But the fact is, that (1) pack on log in was actually the one from the arena rewards. Same with gold/dust, it was already added to your account even before you opened the arena rewards. You didn't lose anything.

Hey, I've got a question concerning this new event.

Rag and sylv were originally classic cards, before they hof'd them. Now they are coming back, but they still have the HOF march on their card.

Will my man Zephris(probs spelled that wrong) offer them? Do you think they coded it, or...

Will he start offering ragnaros all the time instead of turion?

So I glanced over hsreplay's meta section the other day and noticed that highlander warrior had taken the #1 spot. Kind of outta nowhere.

ViciousSyndicate have been talking about the deck for a while now but I guess it's extremely competitive.

Key advantages it has over aggro warrior is that it's favored against aggro warrior and its matchup against control warrior isn't as crippling (still unfavored but nowhere near as bad as aggro warrior's). I am aware that highlander warrior has mostly been experimented with at higher ranks, so its winrate and matchups might be a little inflated compared to the other decks.

Regardless, I've gotten bored of aggro warrior after playing it for two months. So I'm looking to try this deck out this weekend.

Have any of you guys played with/against highlander warrior? And if so, what are your experiences? Is it as strong as it seems?

For reference, this is the deck I'm talking about: https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/decks/highlander-aggro-warrior/

Hi all,

Can I warn anyone using the 80g Quest Trading thread not to trade with Vegetaz (Battletag: HaVoC#2426), as I strongly suspect she/he's using the thread to farm community members for their 80 gold quests when she/he doesn't have one to trade with.  Reasons I suspect this are as follows:

I currently have the 80g quest and viewed the 80g Quest thread at around 7am GMT today to find the latest EU member who had posted, so I could do a quick trade.  Vegetaz/HaVoC had posted, offering the trade, on the condition that whoever responded goes first, so I requested him/her in the game.  She/he accepted me.  So far, so good.  I then asked to see Vegetaz/HaVoC's quest before I initiated a game (and my 80g quest) with him/her. 

At this point, Vegetaz/HaVoC posted back with words to the effect of "What, don't you trust me?  Just play your quest or I'll find someone else.".  I replied saying, basically, "Well, why would I trust you? I've only just met you?"  At that point Vegetaz/HaVoC defriended me, with no further reply.  I reported the post with the information I've given here.  I also had another look at Vegetaz/HaVoC's post on the 80g thread and noticed it had been downvoted.  I added my own downvote for good measure.

I checked the site when I got home from work about half an hour ago, and Vegetaz's post has been removed, presumably as a result of me reporting it.  However, I had a look back over the last few pages of the thread.  On page 22, Vegetaz has posted five separate offers of the 80g quest over the course of the last week, and each post has been downvoted, suggesting another member has been fleeced by him / her, or smelt a rat, as I did.

I hope none of the mods mind me flagging this up in a separate thread, but it seems like this user is a serial scammer.  I see that there isn't currently a blacklist at the start of the 80g thread (as was the case on the old site) and I'm not sure if the thread is regularly monitored by any mods, so there's possibly a vulnerability that's being exploited here.  I think the community on this site is awesome - a lot more respectful of each other than the old site - and I just wanna do my bit to keep it that way.

Anyway, that's it.  Bottom line is, don't trade with Vegetaz (Battletag: HaVoC#2426)

Peace out,

Majere

The way it's implemented now, the only way I can find to send a message is to copy the username, then go to private messages and paste the username into the "to" field. I think it would be much better if there was a button or link in the user profile to send the user a message. Some forums I've seen even have a PM button with every post.

This is how I got to rank 5 this month (why this late? I've mostly been playing Eternal this month, not Hearthstone.) Aggro warrior took me from Rank 9 to Rank 5 with 14 wins and 3 losses.

Oh, and I also have a recording of what may be the best possible start for this deck (I ended turn 3 with a 3/3, a 9/5, and a 9/2 on the board, with opponent at 12 health): https://hsreplay.net/replay/g3iCTuvc5qQRv4s2CrVe83

Hi there. I was just wondering 2 things, since you are guaranteed to get a golden legendary by purchasing the Blizzcon'19 Virtual ticket:

1. Is this Legendary guaranteed from SoU exp?

2. If yes to 1. - if I have all the legendaries from that exp, I can dust one of them and then I will get that one, but in golden, right?

Thanks a lot for your replies and have a great day and a weekend!

 Just another wacky idea to make a relatively bad card work.. Haven't checked if this has been done yet either. 

Combo would be Necromechanic+Nine Lives+Play Dead on Oblivitron  with 4 clockwork automaton in hand..

This means you gotta shuffle at least 3 automatons in deck and draw 4 (easy with Ursatron and maybe Witchwood Piper)

A tick of thaurissan would allow 2 play deads but thats even riskier

Edits: lots of grammar fixing cause my break's over.

Well, the game certainly is not rigged ... simply just a bad day or loosing streak - it happens - usualy if i lose 3 times in a row i take a break. Pick a strong deck you like and stick with it because this way it is way easier to learn the meta and know what to play when and think about the plays the opponent could make the next turn etc. 

I personaly can't speak for the wild meta because i only play standard but like i said it usualy helps if you want to climb up - stick with one deck. If you play consistantly and take a break now and then rank 5 should be no problem. 

Maybe take a look at the top wild decks on this site or check HS Replay to find the right deck for you/your playstyle :)

Good Luck and Have fun!

So....I occasionally check Hearthpwn every once in a while and I noticed something that's kind of bothering me.

While I really like the content you put on this site you seem to be missing out on reporting some rather crucial info.

For example, a few days back we had that micro patch that fixed the Plague Lord health bug....and while Hearthpwn had a post about that, we didn't get anything of the sort here. Same goes for the controversy that apparently has been happening on Reddit about unjust bans, that Blizzard reposnded too (and contained other valuable info)

Again, I'm not trying to complain, but I feel like these are the kind of news that should warrant a thread. Especially since you're usually pretty enthusiastic about posting content like Deck compilations or Lore posts.

I'm contemplating writing an in-depth guide for the deck I've been picking up Legend with in Wild for the past few seasons (Mecha'thun Warlock). The decklist wouldn't be anything particularly new - the point would just be to give a full explanation of the mechanics involved and the strategies required of the main matchups in the Wild metagame. It would, however, be extensive - meaning I don't really want to bother if nobody will read or care!

So - would anyone be interested in seeing a full deck guide of this nature?

Played Celticshark5's Face Auction deck (it's super cheap), but accidentally died because of fatigue since I drew too many cards. It seems that the deck will only refresh 4 times for a total of 30 cards, although it could be more - I didn't count. Keep this in mind!

So at this point into the expansion it has become very obvious that the Druid Quest is an incredibly powerful card that saved Druid from having to play AFK Token Druid for another expansion. Personally, I really like the playstyle of the Quest. It feels a lot like old ramp Druid except you don't just stall until you OTK your opponent out of nowhere but rather you play proactively to push them off the baord through value. It perfectly displays the strengths and weaknesses of Druid: Slow early game and limited removal mechanics, but a ramping threat that can quickly come back if they manage to get to the powerspike.

That being said I feel like they made it almost...too good. Not in a "we must nerf this" way, but in a "alright, guess we're doing this for the entire next year"

If you look at the most common decklists you will soon find out that a large part of the deck is made up of very essential cards that aren't really part of any wincondition, but rather just the Quest engine itself. Almost all of these are from the Year of the Dragon (with the exception of Wardruid Loti and Ferocious Howl). The only other card rotating next year is Flobbidinous Floop who is part of the Chef Nomi train, which in itself is just your standard win condition package and will probably replaced with whatever else we're getting in the coming expansion.

Basically this is ominously reminiscent of last year's Druid fiesta, where you had 25 set cards and 5 others that made up your win condition. Essentially I fear we might fall back into a pattern of "every Druid deck is the same and every other Druid strategy is rendered useless because it can't make use of the Quest engine"

I mean just think of it. Even with more support, why would you ever play Heal Druid when you can achieve a much better lategame strategy just by running the Quest? And obviously you can't run both a Heal package and the Quest because the Heal package demands much more card slots than the Quest engine allows.

This problem would technically apply to most other Quest decks, except their rewards are more specialized which leads to more deckbuilding variety, even if the overall gameplan is the same (take Quest Rogue and regular Tempo Rogue for instance). Druid's reward is basically just "a bunch of cards get really good in practically any situation".

At the end of the there's not really much that can be done about it anyways. Quest Druid is just going to become stronger as Druid gets more good cards while any other strategy will have to compete directly (or be Token and highjack the meta when the opportunity presents itself). Best case scenario: support gets out of hand and the entire archetype gets nerfed somehow, which opens up space for non-quest decks.

Any suggestions of rogue decks that may be viable in Standard? Tempo Rogue is more or less the same as always, and I lack the Quest and Tess (and I'm NOT going to craft any card that generates random shit). I have been testing several Pogo Rogue combinations but with little success; next thing will be a deck with Questing Adventurer + Lackeys, it could be fun. Any other ideas? I have seen some interesting Deathrattle decks on stream, but I lack most of the legendaries needed.

While there has been a few individual threads about single runs, or bosses, we haven't got a general "look at my awesome run", and I feel like it would be fun. So post them here!

I'll start:

I was out to complete Chapter 2 (standard) with Reno after completing it with Finley, and also try out Lei Flamepaw at the same time. I ended up with this:

I've never used the Discs of Legend treasure before, but this time round I got 2, as well as getting Lei Flamepaw in my opening hand. This meant nearly every boss before the Plague Lord got burnt down by Eviscerate/Razorpetal spam (aided by the spell damage HP) by turn 5. Against the Plague Lord, All 3 Lei's died quickly enough, barely managing to take down the first 100 health, so I managed to tread water for a little while until I managed to draw Malygos. After that, I managed to finish the Plague Lord off from 120 health in one turn using Forgotten Torch/Razorpetal. Turns out getting 3 legendaries for every one played in preeetty good. Even if you don't manage to get that many legendaries in your deck.

So lets see the fun you've had in the tomb!

Hello,

Is there a location on the site to access all of the Uldum solo adventure chapter guides without going through the archives/news links? Im looking at the top drop down menu and see Guides, but dont see anything about solo adventures. The guides for 3-5 displaying all the hero powers and cards is great. Now I have to sift through and look for 1 and 2. 

Thanks

--edit: I should mention that it would also be nice to have links from within each Chapter guide to the other guides. Esp now that they are all released. Looking at the guide for chapters 4 and 5, I cannot navigate to 1-3.

--edit2: Also, I do see the Dallaran Heist guide so maybe Im just being impatient day 1 and looking for all the info while it may not be ready?

I see: Expansions--> Adventures and More --> and then a couple of guides there. Perhaps in the coming days one will be created?

If a deck was at some point featured in a front page article, would it be possible to add some kind of backlink to that deck in the detailed view of a deck? That would be very helpful to not miss ongoing discussions about that deck. 

This is the deck I am playing:

https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/3765-grimm-face-hunter

It's a Tempo/Burn kind of hybrid.

I can do fairly well against most meta decks, even top tiers, but I have problems with Reno decks.

It is possible I am just a bad player, and I am fairly bad at managing resources, but I doubt I can hold too much against lategame value.

My first solution was using Deathstalker Rexxar, but I found the card being quite marginal, and even against Reno, quite unreliable. Now, in my climb back to r5, I am seeing more Reno decks (together with a plethora of Mages).

So I was considering, should I craft The Darkness? How does the card perform in the meta?

I know it is historically, seen as a meme, but has anybody actually tried recently?

It wasted huge Tempo, but it also negates 20-29 healing from Reno Jackson, thus counting as Burn, in that context.

On paper, it could also be useful against cycle decks, such as Warlock (Paladin and Mage too, but their burn is the main problem there).

What do you think? Can you see better solutions, while staying in the same deck archetype (Even Hunter)?

Now I'm not a terribly competitive HS player, so I don't play an awful lot of ladder, usually just a burst at the end of the month to get to rank 5-ish. As such I don't have any golden portraits.

One thing I keep noticing is that the number of wins on classes that I'm not really active with at the moment seems to go down with time. Even my least favourite classes had at least double digit wins last time I checked and now there are classes with only single-digit numbers of registered wins. For example, I played a bunch of aggro rogue during the Genn and Baku meta and now it says I have 19 wins with Rogue, which is absolutely not correct.

Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed something similar? Am I slowly going mad?

If it is the case that wins reset between seasons/rotations or w/e, I'd find that pretty demotivating - after all what's the point of slowly building up wins if they just disappear into the aether- but I'd like to know about it at least.

This was my personal best start with the aggro warrior list that is posted here on Out of Cards as part of their meta report. I used it to hit rank 5. Along the way, this happened:

https://hsreplay.net/replay/g3iCTuvc5qQRv4s2CrVe83

I think it's actually the best possible opening 3 turns that the deck is capable of executing, full stop. If you go watch the replay, yes, that really was the board state at the end of turn 3.

I wrote a deck guide, if you want to take a look. The guide is my work, the deck is the work of Out of Cards.
