Do you think battlecry shaman is going to be OP AF next expansion? From what I am seeing so far it wrecks every other deck that was built in the SoU beta these past couple of days. Might just be the well deserved counter to warrior, especially bomb warrior since it's gonna be all over ranked to grind singleton decks.

What do you think?

I've recently watched Thijs play this new freeze mage deck on his youtube channel in top 200 legend, is there any cards from the new expansion that seems like a good addiction? I'm yet to craft this but just wondering.

This is the deck code.

AAECAf0EBsUEuAju9gLG+AKggAOKngMMigGcAskDqwTLBJYF4Qf7DL7sAsP4AoOWA5+bAwA=

So apparently Blizzard messed up again. Yesterday's patch 15.0, that is a preparation for launch of the Saviors of Uldum, already activated the arena reset and new rotation is in (except SoU set). At least in the drafting pool.

• Basic
• Classic
• League of Explorers
• Journey to Un'Goro
• Kobolds and Catacombs
• Rastakhan's Rumble
• Saviors of Uldum

Random generation is said to still draw from the "old" sets tho (Basic, Classic, Naxxramas, Whispers of the Old Gods, Goblins VS Gnomes, The Witchwood, and Rise of Shadows) and reward pack for finishing the run is still Rise of Shadows pack.

Tho someone also reported, that the new Titanic Lackey is already showing up. Another person said, that their Gorillabot A-3 activated its battlecry, even tho he had no mechs on the board. Arena looks like a bloody mess right now!

Another thing that happened is that some* arena runs were retired. Meaning ppl who had unfinished runs got the free Arena Ticket and whoever was planning on doing so later, in time for the proper arena rotation on August 6th, can no longer do that. Unless they reset the arena again on the 6th, which one would assume will happen, since SoU still needs to be added into the mix.

If you have gold to spare, id advise you to start a new run right now, if you want to take a chance of the potential second reset that seems like it should happen. But keep in mind, you will draft a deck without SoU cards, so your deck will definitely be weaker when SoU hits if no reset happens, cause many new cards are looking like insane arena powerhouses, you can check our thoughts on the matter here.

* So far there are mixed reports of who did get and who didnt get his run retired. i did.

As of now we have Quest cards, and Hero cards that have been added since the game launched. SoU will be the second expansion to show case Quest Cards. When creating custom cards it's often a challenge for me to either introduce a new card type, or a new mechanic in general. Do you think that the game of Hearthstone itself is self limiting to new mechanics/cards?

If you boil it down enough, Reborn becomes 'Deathrattle: Summon this minion with one health remaining.' which really isn't a mechanic but rather a rewording of an existing mechanic with an additional effect.

I ask because it's often difficult to come up with something that is absolutely a new concept to the game. [Hearthstone Card (Jaraxxus) Not Found] was the first 'Hero card' in the game but was also considered a minion so I don't know if it falls into that category.

And another question comes to mind. would the game benefit from big end turn minions like similar to the Old Golds for the wow factor?

Hey guys I can't wait to try some new decks on August 6th especially trying selfdamaging lackey zoolock so I thought I would share a deck I've come up with. I would love to see your ideas as well :)

zoolock

I'm going to be rolling with Reno Rogue since I've already been using it, but the double Zephrys the Great due to Valeera the Hollow's effect sounds pretty sweet as well. Reno Hunter has been pretty fun in the past, but some form of Reno Warrior might be interesting as well.

Do you like giant Blubber Barons?  Oh who am I kidding, of course, you (forgot this card existed) do!

If you want to make some Big Blubbery Bois that could down a Deathwing, look no further than this deck!

You'd pretty much run a mecha'thun style draw package / super control package, but you have a 28 damage combo. I know it's not ******Strictly****** an OTK but lets be honest most of the time at this stage in the game you've dealt 2 damage. If you're going to run emporer for the package then you can do 32 damage with a heroic strike and the whole combo discounted

X2 on then

You would need a coin / thaurissan mana discount as this is an 11 mana 4 card combo, you just need to discount grom / mercenary for 1 mana

A new Epic Neutral Minion, Dwarven Archaeologist, has been revealed!

I Play a lot in Arena and play about 2-3 runs a day. My average WR is about 6.5-6.8 wins. My last 4 Arena runs were awesome drafts. With all 4 decks i made it to 10:0. But after that i lost all 3 games. Everytime. Horrible draw mostly. Has something like that happened to you? Or am i being unlucky?

Hi

  So it´s again me taking something deemed bad looking if there might be at least some fun (which includes winning) deck to make out of it.

Warrior quests looks like one of the least liked. Weapon warrior never realy worked for a long time.

So lets start trying a rush version.  Even if there will be better decks out some change is always welcome.

Deck ID Not Found

I made an arena run a couple of weeks ago, and left it after 2 loses. and then yesterday I got a notice that it would be expiring in 4 days. So my question is, will I get a full refund if I keep it? or should I finish it? usually there is a full refund whenever a rotation happens in arena, but I have not heard anything about that.

No, but you can ticket Blizzard support and ask them to refund your purchase because you won a community giveaway and the code cannot be redeemed because you had already pre-ordered. They should understand the situation and go through with it.

After watching this video, I think we should play a game. Refer all card sets/expansions here, then build a deck mentioned by the title. Note that Basic/Classic/Hall of Fame are also considered as card set or expansions, which means that you can use them, too.

So, I will start with Dragon Priest...

What's yours?

Hello everyone now we saw all the cards I want to hear what you guys think of the picture as a whole, which cards you think are good and which one are bad, this expansion is all over the place for sure but we saw some very powerful stuff and very meme stuff so let's start.. btw your cards don't have to be legendaries.. yes they seem the most impactful but also a common 1 mana 1/2 in unguru [Hearthstone Card (firefly) Not Found] ended up being played the full 2 years it was out so it's not all about late game legendaries!

I will start:

Top 5 best cards:

1. Siamat - seems like the Zilliax of the expansion it's so flexible and has probably some use in any deck that is either midrange or control, specially in mage that can cheat him out with [Hearthstone Card (elemental invocation) Not Found] or quest shaman that can get all 4 of his keywords.

2. Hyena Alpha - remember Emerald Spellstone? this card is too similar to it and the price? having an untriggered secret on turn 4 this card is gonna shape the meta for sure, and to top it off, you can dig for it with Master's Call.. it's not like midrange beast hunter had a turn 4 play anyway.

3.Garden Gnome - you see the card above? this card is almost the same but treants instead of beasts the trigger is also extreamly easy and it's something druid has always been doing token druid is already strong and if they can fit around 2 more big spells in the deck I am sure they will cause this card is that much powerful.

4. BEEEES!!!- another druid card? yes, I think this card is really powerful by how versatile it is not only it's a Shadow Bolt that when it overkills it leaves tokens behind, it can trigger your own lifesteal, overkill and deathrattle effects if you need to.

5. Weaponized Wasp- you are kidding me right? this card is insanely powerful and even more with the shaman quest, it gives shaman so much reach and removal.

honorable mentions: Impbalming -  it's a single target removal for 4, this card is probably the most underrated card of the expansion YOUR DECK DOESN'T MATTER if you have TEMPO, you might not even draw the imps and if you do.. you have life tap, this card is insane and will push warlock further.. it's not like control warlock ever has a problem of lacking options in hand or draw.

Frightened Flunky- Stonehill Defender, for warrior, costs 1 less mana, 1 less stat, we know how good is Stonehill Defender, nuff said.

Beaming Sidekick - reminds me of Kabal Talonpriest how good was that card VERY good, now this is neutral, costs 2 less has also good stats for a 1 drop and just gives 1 less hp, priest will really like this card, as well as warlock.

top 5 worst cards:

1. Desert Obelisk - this card is such an atrociously bad card, if you are copying a card so many times and it costs 5 why you aren't copying Leeroy Jenkins? this card is so bad it's not even a meme card.

2. Generous Mummy - you are getting 2 mana discount deal for the body but at which price? this card is just very similar to Millhouse Manastorm and it's not even a battlecry, not only do you get a downside but it's hard to get rid of the card from your board, every time you would get this card from Diseased Vulture you will be extremely sad.

3. Making Mummies- this quest is SO bad it's not only the only quest that can't be expanded upon cause reborn is a SOU mechanic only the reborn minions are mostly mediocre, and paladin didn't even get a good ones  you need to run around 8~12 reborn minions in your deck for this to be good.. and.. the reward? it's not even that great. and the WORST part about this card is why does a good guy practices necromancy? and even worse a murloc good guy???

4. Desert Hare- we have [Hearthstone Card (microtech technician) Not Found] in boomsday this card is worse.. just why.

5. Living Monument - TBH didn't find many other atrocious cards so I am complaining about a pack filler that's how powerful this expansion is.. btw why buff Conjurer's Calling with this card?

Honorable mentions: murloc support in paladin and totem support in shaman- yes those are bad NOW but they cards seem to have uses... seem to be a set up for a future archtype in the classes.

Is there a way in HS deck tracker, to archive unused decks automatically?

i want only decks to show up, which i have in my hearthstone list, not all, i ever played.

thanks.

Hi everyone.

As the title suggest, I recently came up with this idea while scrolling down the list of new cards we'll get to play with in a few days.

We've been constantly getting support for such an archetype, and I also tried to make this work (although with another class, Paladin) after Rise of Shadows release, without much success. However, I think this time we've received enough payoff in order to (at least) try this deck.

You want to mulligan for your low cost/synergistic minions (Electrowright and Garden Gnome above all) and close the game with King Phaoris. In case you got bad minions or your opponent cleared the board, you can always Flobbidinous Floop a second wave of high costed stuff. 

I even added some broken mech interactions in order to carry you through the mid game and being able to get to turn 10 without being in a dangerous spot.

To be fair, I have doubts regarding some possible inclusions/combo/tech cards, so I'd really like to read your opinion.

<3

Does anyone know if you can stack the old quests with the new ones? Or do they have to be achieved separately? Can you even have two in the same deck?

hey guys, 

while waiting for the next expansion I thought about a wishlist with cards I really want to have. 

So you Could wishlist the cards and maybe cross check it After the Expansion hit with the „in development“-feature/plugin for HDT. 

what do you think?

It's a just for fun deck that I have been using casually in Wild for quite a long time now.

I also wrote a fanfiction based on the deck. The story follows 'The Spider Queen', a powerful Aranasi, who had escaped Sargeras to Azeroth at some point. She was weakened and fell into a slumber. She joins force with Myra Rotspring, who is fascinated by her power, and believes that she is destined to assist The Spider Queen in defending Azeroth from Sargeras, and Blenda, a Mistress of Mixtures, who is Myra's only assistant. 

Please visit the deck page to read the story. English is not my first language, but I'm trying my best here.

This deck is theorycrafted with only the idea of making the lives of Big Priest players miserable.

Any thoughts on changes before the xpac goes live?

Wats good? Anybody know how much gold, I got to put aside for the new solo content? I got 8k atm but will be using at least 5k for new packs. 

Hey, since mage is my 2nd main (and last :P) and as for shaman I wanted to make a quest list for Jaina:

Deck ID Not Found

I was playing this list in RoS as I find it quite fun to mess with a lot of cheap spells, but not to much success. SoU gave it much needed additional fuel in the form of Ride the Sky Temple and Dune Sculptor. Also Flame Ward should be helpful against aggro, it was struggling against before.

I don't predict it to be super vialable but it should work and be a lot of fun.

Deck consists of best cheap spells in mage arsenal (quest doesn't have to be played immediately for additional triggers) that allow finishing the quest with ease and trigger cards like Mana Cyclone, Dune Sculptor, Archmage Antonidas for a lot of value. 

How do you like it, feedback much appreciated! :>

Also, anyone came up with some other quest mage decks?

A new Epic Rogue Spell, Shadow of Death, has been revealed!
